Chapter 1471
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
"Well..."
As Thompson hesitated, Austin continued, "Professor, I know theyâ re watching you too.If you go to the police, Iâm afraid you wonât be able to make it to the police station.Itâs even more unlikely for you to reach my family.
"Lily, however, is closely related to the laboratory.You can tell them you're facing a bottleneck or want to ask her about previous lab data, and then they wonât suspect you if you meet her.
"Lily can fight, and her husband is Alexander, whose family wields a huge influence in Kingsland.Only she can help you and me!"
Probably because the bread and water had strengthened Austin, he could think clearly and calmly.
Looking at Thompsonâs expression, he slowly loosened his arm and said earnestly, "Professor Thompson, I have no idea what the experiment is about since you canât tell me, and Iâm not going to ask you about it.
"However, you should know better than anyone that you canât let it continue.Perhaps theyâve threatened you with your family's safety, but if they succeed, the world will be thrown into chaos.How safe would your family be then?"
Thompson looked greatly unsettled.
"I-I have no idea.I canât help you.I canât!"
He left, almost as if he was fleeing, and Austin did not try to stop him this time.
Having said what he wanted to say, he knew Thompson needed time to think about it and would not dare not to promise him so easily.
As for whether he would help, Austin was not sure and could only leave it to fate.
Daisy left the second day after Lily fired her.
Lily had transferred her wages to her bank account with an additional month's salary.
As the woman had not done anything bad to Galen, Lily thought it was better to end her employment ina good way.
Probably because it was mentioned before this, Galen did not react much to not seeing Daisy around.
Sitting in the backseat, he swung his two legs leisurely.
"Mommy, are we going to Grandpaâs house today?"
"Yes, and youâre going to stay there," Lily said as she drove the car, nodding.
"Okay," he answered without throwing a tantrum.
Lily threw him a curious glance through the rearview mirror.
âHe's taking it quite well, isnât he?â After a while, he asked, "Are you going to see daddy?"
Stunned, Lily held onto the wheel and gave him a sidelong glance.
"How did you know?"
"I heard you talking with Grandpa."
Pursing his lips, he blinked his big and beautiful eyes.
"Is it dangerous?"
"Not really.It should be safe."
Surprised that he was concerned about her, Lily smiled soothingly.
"Are you going to miss me?"
"yes!"
Nodding firmly, he said, "Mommy..."
Lily became curious.
"you have to come back soon, okay?"
His eyes sparkled like stars in the sky.
Lily felt warmed hearing his mellifluous boyish voice.
âWhat an adorable child! Heâs not just sensible but also smart.I must come back safely.So must Alex!
We'll be okay!â
