His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 2015

The driver turned his face slightly. Although dark, one could see it was indeed him. Edward casually answered, “It was all right.”

Even so, Alexander knew it must have been a nightmare for him—even more so than the gunfights, assassinations, and betrayals

they once faced together.

‘The sense of helplessness that we're no longer in control of our bodies and that we might've hurt even those closest to us is

unthinkable.”

“If it weren't for—" Alexander started, but Edward quickly interjected, “It's not your fault. The organization is inhumane. Even if it

weren't me, they would target another person. Besides, it allowedto obtain helpful information.

After a pause, he casually continued, “Perhaps fate made it happen.”

Alexander chuckled, feeling slightly relieved. “Since when have you believed in fate, Edward?”

“People change.” Edward laughed. “Lily once said we all think differently at different stages of our lives due to what we've been

through.”

His smile gradually froze, and he fell silent.

“I'm sure she'll be all right,” Edward tilted his head and said, “She’s smart and capable.”

“She is.” Alexander nodded, his finger tapping his knee. “That's why I'm worried.”

‘Sometimes it's not good to stand out from the rest.’

Although Lily had tried keeping a low profile and focused only on perfumery, she still beca target.

‘Perhaps it's as Edward says, sthings are fated. The organization found her and dragged her into this mess. | can only blame

myself for failing to protect her and not being strong enough.’

Being a successful businessman for many years, Alexander had always thought he was powerful enough, but everything that

happened made him realize he was powerless.

He and Edward remained silent. It was dawn when they arrived at the Rollins’ residence. Edward was about to pull up to the gate

when Alexander stopped him. “Let's wait a while. Anastasia might still be sleeping.”

Edward parked the car in the shade under a tree nearby. However, they heard the sound of an approaching ambulance a moment

later. It sped by them, and the gate to the Rollins’ residence opened to let it in.

Shocked, Edward looked over his shoulder at Alexander and saw an alarmed look in his eyes.

Taken aback, Edward looked over his shoulder at Alexander and saw an alarmed look in his eyes. After a while, the ambulance sped

out of the gate and left.

Alexander exited the car with a frown and hurried over to the gate to stop it from closing. “Who was in that ambulance?”

Although he asked the question, he could already guess who it was.

“It's Ms. Rollins.” Surprised, the maid recognized Alexander and answered truthfully.

Alexander said gravely, “What kind of illness?”

“I’ve no idea. Ms. Rollins has been feverish and coughing for the last two days. She even started throwing up blood this morning.

She was also in a stupor, so we called an ambulance.”

The maid shook her head and added, “That's all we know.”
