Chapter 1494
"I know you're worried, but the situation isn't something you can handle," Mike replied.
"Besides, you won't be able to achieve what you chere for today."
Lily frowned when she heard this.
"Mike, | don't know why you want to be involved with them, nor would you want to be associated with them.Regardless, shouldn't
you at least think about your son? Do you want him to have such a father?"
Nick's mother was already out of the picture.If his father was involved in a criminal act, what would the child think of himself when
he grew up? This seemed to move Mike, and he let out a sigh.
"Lily, what would you do if Galen was in danger?"
"I'd do anything to save him, of course!" Lily answered without hesitation.

"what if it takes your life?"
"I'll give up my life for him!"
She did not hesitate at all.
As a mother, she was willing to give up her life for her child.
"What if another person's life is involved?"
She paused.She would decisively give up her own life, but what about someone else's? She had never thought about sacrificing
another person's life for her son.She had to admit that humans are selfish by nature.She did not need to care about the lives of
others who did not matter to her.Her son was the most important thing to her.
However, it seemed like she could not sacrifice another life for her son either.
"Don't ask such meaningless, hypothetical questions," she said a little angrily.
She felt that Mike was trying to distract her.
"You find it meaningless because you don't have to face such a problem. Will you still think it's meaningless if that were all real?"
Since the beginning, Mike's face had remained indifferent.
Lily couldn't tell what he was thinking about at all.
"All right.If you don't leave now, I'm afraid | won't be able to save you! Think about your children.Think about those waiting for you
back home.For them, you have to stay alive!"
With that, he turned around.
At this time, Lily knew she could easily restrain him from behind and use him as a hostage.However, she didn't.Mike was right.
Would it solve the problem if she held him hostage? His withdrawal, La Beaute Group's divestment, and even Professor Thompson's
death and Austin's unknown whereabouts did not hinder the research institute's progress.
A mere Mike Cordon wouldn't mean anything to them, nor would it affect them in any way.
She clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and called out, "I have another question."

"What is it?" Mike replied without turning around.
"Where's Austin? Is he..." She trailed off.
She was afraid of what she might hear.
Was Austin dead? After all, Professor Thompson had suffered the sfate.
"Although what the laboratory is doing isn't a righteous thing, no one is blatantly murdered there,"Mike answered lightly, "As for
the person you're worried about, | should think that he is fine.At least for now, he is."
"Got it!"
Although he did not answer her directly, Lily understood his hints and nodded.
"I hope that you can remember your role as a father, no matter what you've encountered, so that you can set a good example for
your children."
Mike did not answer as he continued to stand there, looking a little lonesome.
