Alexander heard Lily's voice as soon as he approached.
Although he could not tell what she was yelling about, he could hear the emotions in her voice.He quickly walked over and saw her
standing there with her phone.
The sullenness on her face had not completely faded.
"What?"
Alexander turned his head and glanced at the things on the concoction table.
The concoction’s progress was still ongoing, and seeing that no alarms were ringing, he quickly walked toward her.He raised his
hand and touched her forehead.Her body temperature was normal, but he noticed her chest was heaving violently.
Just as he was about to take the phone from her, she tightened her grip.
"I'm fine."
"Who called?"

He knew it was a call at a glance but did not hear who it was.
"Mike Corden."
Lily glanced at him and supported herself up slowly.She casually pulled the pillow beside her waist and adjusted it to a more
comfortable position.
"It's not actually Mike, but the person behind him."
"The mysterious man appeared?"
Alexander was a little surprised.
‘That person had been hiding behind the scenes for so long.It’s hard to guess what he wants to do now that he has taken the
initiative to speak up"
"What did you say?"
After thinking for a while, he asked again.
Lily pursed her lips, and her face darkened.
"He threatened me."
"Threatened you?"
Alexander raised his eyebrows.
"How did he threaten you? Didn't you agree to join him?"
"I told him to givetwo more days, but he refused, saying they're running out of time." Lily paused.
"He said Mike will pickup tomorrow morning, and | must go."
"So, it's just about when you have to go?"
After a pause, Alexander gently touched her shoulders and said softly, "Don't get too riled up. Think about it from another
perspective.ls there a reason why they're so anxious? Is trunning out for them that they put such pressure on you? Would they
fail without you?"
Sighing, Lily pinched her nose bridge, feeling exhausted.
In the past, she could often stay up late for two or three days doing experiments.
She would rack her brain, creating new perfumes that matched her ideas.

Even then, it was less tiring than this.
On the one hand, it was physically more demanding for her now, with her stomach getting bigger and her body feeling heavier. It
was a little overwhelming.
On the other, it was a mental struggle for her.
Back then, she could handle any danger she encountered and was able to plan accordingly.
However, it was different this taround.
The man’s power and the organization were too immense.
They were powerful beyond imagination.
On top of that, they were too careful.
Lily had yet to learn who was the mastermind behind everything and if it was a person or external force for them to be so evil.
"Don't be scared."
Alexander's palms wrapped around Lily's shoulders.
He leaned her against him, patting her comfortingly.
He softly said, "No matter how they threaten, you don't have to go if you don't want to.No one can force you! Remember that! You
shouldn't allow anyone to force you to do things you don't want to! I'll spend all my money to protect you and the children."
