Lily only hesitated for a second before turning to run toward the street. Although she had many questions and Nick was still
inside, she knew she would get caught again if she delayed any further.
Ross stayed where he was with his gun and stopped anyone who tried to give chase.
“Seize her!” someone shouted and tried to go past him.
However, Ross quickly pressed his gun at his own temple. “Don’t come any closer, or I’ll kill myself!”
He was so agitated that the veins on his neck bulged. As the others hesitated, Ross glanced over his shoulder and was relieved
After thinking for the past two days, he had decided to stop his mother. If the experiment were to proceed, there would be no end
to this, whether it succeeded or not.
Lily ran with all her might, knowing she would be safe if she could reach a crowded area. In fact, she was already safe when she
got out of the embassy.
After all, it was daytime, so they would not dare abduct her in a public area.
When Lily ran the junction, a car suddenly turned the corner and almost hit her.
As it screeched to a stop, she dodged aside and panted, propping herself up with a hand on the car’s hood.
Before she could regain her calm, the car window lowered, and a familiar person popped his head out. “Lily?!”
Dominic thought he was hallucinating, even rubbing his eyes.
“Old man?!” Lily was surprised to see him.
As she was out of breath, Dominic glanced behind her and opened the back passenger door. “Get in!”
Lily quickly did so, and Dominic’s chauffeur made a U-turn before driving off.
Once inside, Lily let out a long sigh of relief, feeling unreal. The old man handed her a pack of tissues and asked, “How’d you get
out?” Alexander and the others had been trying to rescue her, but she refused to leave. Instead, she was determined to stop the
experiment. Dominic wondered if Lily had changed her mind or if her plan had succeeded..
“It’s a long story.” Lily finally realized how much she had been sweating as she wiped her face with the tissues. Now that she was
with Dominic, she felt exhausted and scared.
“Tell us about it when we get back.” The old man leaned forward to tell his chauffeur, “Step on it!” Although they should be safe
outside, he thought it was safer to rush back to Alexander’s house. After speeding through the streets, the car soon reached the
house.
