Chapter 1721

Alexander I smiled casually.

"Well, you said it’s hard to trace the toxin’s origins now that Rhea has died.Would it be a lot easier if she isn’t?"

"Rhea isn’t dead?" Lily asked.

"I’m just saying, what if." He paused and then chose his words more carefully.

"Her death seemed too sudden.It was almost as if she had died on purpose." Lily agreed with him.

"That's right! I feel the same way about it.I’ve dealt with her several times, and she’s cool-headed and almost cold-blooded.Furthermore, she used to be a top student overseas and had received many awards, not to mention she must’ve done more experiments than I have.

How could such a severe explosion happen so suddenly? "Even if it was truly an accident, I doubt she would have no time to escape, let alone get herself burned beyond recognition."

Lily had heard from the police that Rhea’s body was unrecognizable when the firefighters brought her out.Lily thought it was rather suspicious.

‘If it was not to purposely hide something, how could it be so coincidental?’

"However, no evidence shows that the body isn’t Rhea’s.We must wait for the forensic report first."

Alexander sighed mildly and looked at Lily with concern.

Lily raised her brows.

"What’s the matter?"

He held out his arms, wrapped them around her shoulders, and pulled her into his chest to hold her tight.

"I just feel that it’s been too hard on you lately.You're pregnant, yet travel here and there while exposing yourself to many dangerous diseases and situations."

Thinking about what had happened recently, he wanted to shield her from all the trouble.He knew she could with these situations, but he was not ready to let go and stop worrying about her.

Lily was stunned as she looked up slightly.

However, she could only see a tiny black mole under his chin.She knew he had also gotten tied up in many things lately and had lost a lot of weight after just recovering from a severe illness.

However, he did not care about it and worried about her instead.

‘It’s heart-warming to be showered with love and concern, especially when I feel tired sometimes"

As she playfully raised her hand and gently stroked the stubble on his chin, she said smilingly, "Don’t talk like this is your first day meeting me, okay? Besides, you’ve been in more danger than I have, and I almost lost you when you went to Burnwken!"

She wanted to tease him and lighten herself up, but her heart grew heavier talking about these things.Her smile froze as she stopped stroking his stubble and slowly sighed.

Alexander held her hand and looked down at her.

"Well, I returned safely, didn’t I?"

"Yes, but..."

‘But Edward is still missing.Olivia seldom calls me recently since she holds a grudge because of that.I’ve been too busy to go and see her"

Lily did not even have the time to go to the studio, and there was no project to rush momentarily.

As Olivia had been helping Lily handle all other trivial matters, it allowed Lily to throw herself into work at the research center.

"But what?" Lily sighed.

"But Edward has yet to be found."

"No, we’ve found him."

Alexander interrupted.

"You have?"

Lily was surprised.

"When did you find him? Where's he? Is he safe?"
