Chapter 1969


    Not knowing whether they saw through her thoughts or if it was time, the door suddenly swung open.


    The two thugs stood aside while someone pushed a food cart in. The three looked foreign.


    Without saying a word, the person parked the cart next to the table, opened the lid, and took out the

    dishes individually. The aroma was enticing as Lily looked on, only to discover the dishes were local.


    Moreover, they were her favorite foods. There were fajitas, pot roasts, tater tots, etcetera. The table


    was full of various dishes, a feast, even for her eyes. Afterying out the food, the person nced at


    Lily before pushing the cart out.


    Lily sat down, looking at the table full of food. She knew they were trying to convey a message. They


    knew her well, even up to what she liked eating. Since they had gone to such lengths to bring her here,


    they would not simply poison her food and end everything so quickly.


    However, there was no guarantee they would not tamper with the food. After all, these people were


    experts in virology.


    Although she was hungry, she did not rush to eat. First, she leaned over to look, then sniffed the


    dishes. Nothing seemed suspicious, at least from her knowledge of pharmacology. Once she was


    satisfied with her observation, she began to eat.


    No matter where she was, she would not neglect her well-being. She had to take care of herself and


    the children in her stomach to find a way out.


    She quietly enjoyed the meal, taking nearly half an hour to finish. After setting her utensils down, she


    let out a satisfying burp. The door opened again almost as soon as she put down her utensils. The


    same person from before silently cleared the table.


    Lily looked at him and asked, "When can I meet your boss?"


    The person nced at her, his eyes full of confusion. Judging from his appearance, it seemed like he


    did not understand her.


    Lily curled her lips and repeated the question in anothernguage. However, the other party just waved


    his hand and did not answer. He finished tidying up and left without making a sound, just as he had


    entered.


    It made Lily suspect he was mute.


    After he left, the door closed again, and nobody came to check on her or ask her anything. Even Rick,


    who had brought her here, seemed to have vanished into thin air.


    It was unusually quiet here, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Lily turned on the television, but


    there was no signal. They had the signal blocked as well. At this point, Lily had no idea what these


    people were nning. Everything was just too strange.


    The following two days were even more bizarre. Every day, at a fixed time, someone would deliver her


    meals. They were a wide variety of her favorite dishes, but the taste was not as authentic.


    From the vors and cooking techniques, she knew local chefs did not prepare it. They could only


    imitate the dishes'' appearance but not capture the essence. Fortunately, she could eat her fill, and she


    was not picky. She made sure to eat enough every day.


    However, no one else came except the two guards at the door and the person who delivered the food.


    These three people would not respond to her no matter what she said or asked. It was as if they were


    deaf.


    No matter how resilient she was, she gradually became agitated under such circumstances. She felt


    frustrated, mainly because this dragged on for too long. After all, the less she knew about the changes


    in the situation outside, the less confident she felt.
