Chapter 1592
"There's nothing mysterious about the department, but I can't say it's not mysterious either!" Dominic
began to beat around the bush.
Lily shot him a glare before he continued, "It's quite easy to tell. They specialize in the study of strange
phenomena. Besides the plague, they also looked into some strange phenomena that science couldn't
explain."
"You mean spiritual things?!" her eyes widened in surprise.
'Why were there still doctors studying supernatural powers?'
He waved dismissively as if he could read her mind. "No, no, no. They don’t just have doctors there.
They have architects, special police forces, and various other jobs that you can think of. To summarize,
they're a group of elites from all backgrounds."
His smile was very flattering as he said that. "Speaking of which, you're also an elite."
Lily immediately rolled her eyes. "You deserve all the credit."

was probably in my forties when they wanted me to join their team. But you know me. It would
suffocate me to be forced into a small space, researching every day of my life. I haven't heard from
them since I rejected them until now."
"That's why you sold me out!" Lily grumbled after casting a sidelong glance at him.
"What do you mean I sold you out? It was a recommendation! I recommended the most talented
person I know!" The old man corrected her disapprovingly.
"So, instead of you getting cooped up in a small space to do research, you'd want me to take your
place?" She was still unhappy that he did not discuss it with her first.
Hearing this, Dominic put his hands up in surrender. "I didn’t mean to leave you in the dark about this,
but they came in a hurry." I didn't expect them to come before you, and they looked like they were in a
hurry. You were also busy, so...I didn't have time to discuss anything with you."
Lily thought about it and figured he was right. All her phone calls to him were short and straightforward,
as she was afraid she might be monitored. She tried to keep the phone calls as brief as possible and
did not say anything important.
"Fine. You're right." Lily saw the servants coming out with big bags of herbs. "I'm going to go now."
"Hey..." The old man stood up. "Do you really not want to see your son?"
She immediately stopped in her steps. She did want to see Galen.
After all, it had been a few days since she had seen him. She missed him. However, wouldn't it be
sadder for him if they met and she still couldn't bring him along with her? After a sigh, she said, "Forget
it. I'm not going to meet him. I'll have all the time in the world once this is over."
Dominic sighed when he heard this, but didn't say anything more.
Although Lily was stern, she couldn't help but glance upstairs when she left the house. She was
surprised to see her son standing there on the balcony.
He seemed to have noticed her turning around, and he began vigorously waving his little hand at her.
When she saw him waving at her, she couldn't stop the tears from forming in her eyes. After all, there
was still some reluctance to leave him here.

"Mummy, I'll wait for you!" Galen shouted.
"Make sure to listen to Grandpa!" Lily waved, yelling back at him.
Lily had initially planned to go home and pack her things before dropping by the hospital to visit
Alexander, settle some matters, and remind Greg before she left forthat mysterious department.
Unexpectedly, she noticed a car that had followed her at the fork of the road. That car seemed to be
waiting for her.
Seeing how the car was already waiting for her, she had no plans of avoiding it. Instead, she drove
beside the vehicle and braked right before colliding with it.
After stopping at such a close distance, she finally saw the woman sitting in the driver's seat. Although
she was wearing a cap and mask, Lily could recognize the woman at a glance... It was Olivia.
'What a surprise!'
Lily thought her stalker would be Rhea or someone from that mysterious department. She had never
expected it to be Olivia. Lily quickly unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car in shock.
As she walked toward the car, Olivia also paused for a moment before quickly getting out.
