“Me?” Lily did not understand and was puzzled.
"You told her she should be careful since she's pregnant, but what about you? Have you forgotten that you're also a pregnant
woman?" Alexander spoke gently, placing one hand on her swollen belly.
It pained him to see her running around like this. Apart from sharing her burden with her, there was nothing much he could do.
Hearing this, Lily burst into laughter. She wanted to say she was fine but only nodded after seeing how concerned he looked.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Only then did Alexander have the peace of mind to call someone to track Edward down.

Meanwhile, Edward drove the car through a majestic gate to the underground parking lot. After leaving the car, he walked toward a
black jeep with its engine still running. As soon as he got into the black jeep, it drove away.
Alexander soon persuaded Lily to go to bed first. After all, no one knew when Edward would go home. The person Alexander had
sent to find Edward's whereabouts had not reported back, so they could not continue to wait like this.
Lily went upstairs and lay in bed, awake. She could not sleep. There were too many things going on in her mind. However, her body
was tired. Ultimately, she slowly fell asleep. When she woke again, she realized Alexander was still not in the room. She turned to

‘It's already so late.’
She got up and headed downstairs, only to notice that the light in the study room was still on and the door was ajar. It seemed like
Alexander was in there.
She walked over lightly, and when she did not hear any movement inside, she pushed the door open slightly and saw Alexander
leaning back against his chair with his eyes closed, obviously asleep.
However, he was still holding his phone in one hand. Although he was asleep, his brows remained deeply furrowed.
Lily's heart ached when she saw him like that. The dark circles around his eyes showed he was just as tired. He was just trying to
hold everything together by himself.
She picked up a blanket to cover him—just that little movement was enough to wake him up. His eyes shot open, and when he saw

"Why aren't you sleeping upstairs?" Lily smiled and shook her head. She glanced at his phone and asked, "Is there still no news
about Edward?"
"We found him," Alexander said, shaking his head.
Lily was shocked. She was expecting a different answer. "Then..."
After such a long silence, she thought Edward was still untraceable. She wondered why Alexander looked so unhappy if they had
found Edward. On the contrary, Alexander's face seemed solemn.
"Things may be more complicated than we thought." Alexander pinched the bridge of his nose. "My subordinate followed him but
couldn’t get in. He could only wait outside for Edward's car to cout. However, it seems like Edward is still in the building."
"He can't get in?" Her brain started spinning. She could not think of where Edward's car would be allowed in but not theirs.
