Spoiled by Mr. Russell
Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 2015-The driver turned his face slightly. Although dark, one could see it was indeed him. Edward casually answered, âIt was all right.â
Even so, Alexander knew it must have been a nightmare for himâeven more so than the gunfights, assassinations, and betrayals they once faced together.
âThe sense of helplessness that weâre no longer in control of our bodies and that we mightâve hurt even those closest to us is unthinkable.â
âIf it werenât forââ Alexander started, but Edward quickly interjected, âItâs not your fault. The organization is inhumane. Even if it werenât me, they would target another person. Besides, it allowed me to obtain helpful information.
After a pause, he casually continued, âPerhaps fate made it happen.â
Alexander chuckled, feeling slightly relieved. âSince when have you believed in fate, Edward?â
âPeople change.â Edward laughed. âLily once said we all think differently at different stages of our lives due to what weâve been through.â
His smile gradually froze, and he fell silent.
âIâm sure sheâll be all right,â Edward tilted his head and said, âSheâs smart and capable.â
âShe is.â Alexander nodded, his finger tapping his knee. âThatâs why Iâm worried.â
âSometimes itâs not good to stand out from the rest.â
Although Lily had tried keeping a low profile and focused only on perfumery, she still became a target.
âPerhaps itâs as Edward says, some things are fated. The organization found her and dragged her into this mess. I can only blame myself for failing to protect her and not being strong enough.â
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 Rollinsâ residence. Edward was about to pull up to the gate when Alexander stopped him. âLetâs wait a while. Anastasia might still be sleeping.â
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 Rollinsâ 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. âWho was in that ambulance?â
Although he asked the question, he could already guess who it was.
âItâs Ms. Rollins.â Surprised, the maid recognized Alexander and answered truthfully.
Alexander said gravely, âWhat kind of illness?â
âIâve 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.â
The maid shook her head and added, âThatâs all we know.â
