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 came here for today."
Lily frowned when she heard this. "Mike, I 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?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"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?"
"I..." 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 I wont 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."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"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 same fate.
"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, I 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.
