Chapter 1497
Lily missed him like crazy. Not only that, but she was also worried about him. At this moment, all her
worries and anxiety had turned into grievances, and tears filled her eyes unconsciously.
Not wanting to cry, she suppressed her tears and continued to ask, "Talk to me! What's wrong with
you? What happened? Why haven't you called me for the past week? Do you know that LJ've missed
you so much!"
"Lily, listen to me." After taking a deep breath, he struggled to let out two words. 'I'm back!"
"What?!" Lily was startled. She couldn't digest what she had just heard.
"What do you mean you're back? Are you home? Why didn't I see you? Are you at the company?
Where are you? I'll come to find you!" With that, she stood up immediately, ready to change out of her

'What did he mean by he was back? He’s in Kingsland, yet, he didn't come home? I want to see him
right away!’
"No, listen to me!" Alex took another breath, seemingly having a hard time breathing. Lily could feel that
he was garnering the strength to speak to her and that he must be uncomfortable.
'Something is wrong!' Lily held herself back as her grip on the phone tightened. "Tell me. I'm listening!"
"I can't meet you right now, but I'm in a safe place. Don't worry. I knew you'd be concerned, so I
decided to call you first. Don't worry." Although the line cut off bits and pieces of what he was saying,
Lily still understood him.
"Why can't you meet me? Did something happen? You know that Galen and
I miss you a lot, and we're worried about you? Do you know how many things have happened since
you've been gone? There are a lot of things I want to tell you. You..."
She was angry and anxious. Alexander was in Kingsland, yet, he couldn't see her, but she wondered
why.
However, she was aware that he was perturbed and calmed herself down. Something serious must
have happened. That was why he was acting all fishy like this. The more he acted like this, the more
she wanted to see him.
"I know, I know everything!" He coughed a few times, and his voice was hoarse. "I can't meet you right
now. Just hold on a while and wait a few more days. Don't worry. I'll be home in no time."
"How can I not worry?! I know you're sick, but you won't let me see you! What's wrong with you?! You
used to tell me everything! Why aren't you telling me now?!"
Lily was furious as rage pulsed through her veins.

honest with each other and that they'd always have each others' backs. Now, Alexander would not tell
her anything. If she was worried back then, she was even more worried now.
"Listen to me!" Even saying a few words made him cough again. His breaths were heavy and shallow.
"I'm fine now, but I'm still a little sick. I need time to recuperate. I'll come home as soon as I'm okay."
"What's wrong? Did you catch a cold? Wouldn't it be better for you to recuperate at home?" Lily asked.
"Why can’t you come back? What happened to you?"
After a pause, she recalled Olivia's visit two days ago. "By the way, how's Edward? Did he come back
with you?" Although it sounded like a typical question, all she heard was silence.
