“Do you think the organization cares if she's pregnant?” Rhea said coldly.
Mike was at a loss for words.
‘She’s right. Human lives mean nothing to Rhea, let alone to the inhumane organization. They only care about whether they can
reach their goal and not bother about people’s lives. However, it matters to me!”
Lily and Alexander had been doing their best to help Mike find his son even after what he had done. Mike knew he had to save Lily
no matter what. Moreover, he had already failed to keep his promise to Alexander.
‘I'll never forgive myself if Lily becomes a test subject!”

“I'm willing to work with you, but you must listen to my instructions,” Mike said after taking a deep breath.
Rhea raised her brow, but before she could say more, he added, “Well, you can forget it if you disagree. | know you're good at
using poisons, but no one else can help you locate the organization if you kill me. Furthermore...”
After a pause, he said, “You can’t even show up in public after what you've done. So forget about getting immortalized in history,
okay? No one, including your parents, will know how you die!”
Rhea gritted her teeth. Although she was upset, she had to admit he was right. She could not simply show herself to anyone
outside after faking her death. That was why she asked to cooperate with Mike.
She could only nod, even though she was reluctant. “Okay.”
Mike smiled ever so slightly. “Guard him well. Although the organization has abandoned him, it'll be troublesif anyone finds
out about this. Besides, you still need to use him as your bargaining chip.”
“Don’t worry. I'll hide him well. No one but us knows about this secret room. Also, Rick has already left, hasn't he?” Rhea said
confidently.
Mike nodded, trusting she could do a good job.
“Anyway...” He mused and said, “About the last step you toldjust now, is there a way to counter it?”

His voice was low, and his gaze was eager when he asked the question.
‘Since she knows so much, | bet she’s aware of any possible solution or a way to prevent the last step from taking place.”
“Counter it?” Rhea chuckled, “Do you think | can solve anything? Would | have asked you to work withif | were that capable?”
She noticed Mike's expression and continued, “I only discovered it by accident, so | have no idea if | can counter it. Still, based on
what | saw, | feel Lily won't be in danger for these two days.”
“How come?” Mike asked anxiously.
Rhea chuckled. “As you said, she’s pregnant. Anyway, she’s due to give birth soon, right?”
Although Mike knew Lily was far along in her pregnancy, he was clueless about her due date. After all, he thought it was
inappropriate to ask her.
Rhea knew from his expression that he was unsure.
