"I'll pick you up as soon as | finish work.You..."
Mike paused for a while before continuing, "You must learn to take care of yourself while I'm not there, okay? You're growing up,
you know?"
"I know!"
Nick nodded obediently.
"Daddy, you should take care too!"
This sentence was almost the last straw for Mike.He suppressed the pain in his heart and said, "Nicky, you—"
Before he could finish talking, the screen flashed and suddenly went blank.
"Nicky?! Nicky!"
He sprung to his feet and jumped toward the screen.
However, it was no use.

All he could see was his own reflection.
"Mike Corden, the thas come," a cold and piercing voice sounded.
The man cout from the darkness, still holding the remote.
"I've already done what | promised.| hope you won't break your promise to me."
Mike slapped the screen as if he could save his son this way.
"Let my son go! He's just a child! He doesn't understand anything! Pll do whatever you wantto do!" The man chuckled.
It was horrifying to the ears.
"Do you takefor a fool? Without your precious son, would you be this obedient? Mike, | know what you are.Don't
overthink.You've seen how well we've been caring for your son.However, | can't guarantee he’ll be unharmed if you rebel and try
something funny."
The threat behind these words was clear, and the color drained from Mike's face.He had seen the means of this organization
before, and he believed that this man was not scaremongering.
The man felt satisfied when he saw Mike's pale face.
Nodding his head, he continued, "I don't care what you do, but make sure you get Lily on board.We need her to complete the final
stage of this experiment."
"Don't you have Rhea on board?" Mike asked as he looked up.
"Isn't having her good enough?"
"It's not up to you to decide whether or not she’s enough," the man replied, clearly displeased by this question.
Then he added, "Tis running low.She can't do it on her own.That's why..."
After a pause, he decided not to elaborate.
"Whatever it is, just do as | say and stop asking so many questions!"
"l understand," Mike answered as he solemnly lowered his head.
"Are you reluctant to drag her in?" The man turned his head to look at Mike and chuckled.
"It's up to you, Mike.What's more important? Your son or that woman?"
"No.I'm willing to do anything for you, boss!" Mike immediately denied it.

"I hope you'll keep your promise and not hurt my son."
"Don't worry.Your son is adorable.How could | hurt him?" The man said with a smile.
However, Mike's heart was still heavy.
Lily headed hand packed a few things before returning to the hospital.
Everything seemed peaceful.
Greg was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed with a mask on.
Lily was impressed.
After all, she had to rely on her willpower not to fall asleep while guarding Alexander.
Yet, Greg's eyes seemed wide open.
He did not seem tired and seemed to be going strong.
"Greg," she called out as she walked in.
He silently stood up when he saw her coming.
