Chapter 2057

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 2057-The husband and wife were stunned as they turned to stare at Alexander. They asked simultaneously, “What did you say?”

“It’s true.” Alexander nodded. He knew he had to tell them sooner or later.

“Alex, I know I’m infected with the virus from the lab, which even controlled my mind. Although I did regain consciousness later on, I knew I couldn’t live for long. Besides, Mrs. Russel took my wrist pulse before, and she knew—”

Edward thought Alexander was trying to console him and told his boss what he knew so that Alexander would not need to lie and give false hope to Oliva.

Alexander interrupted and went straight to the point, “It’s Lily who told me that.”

“Mrs. Russell?”

“Lily?”

Surprised, Edward and Olivia spoke at the same time.

Alexander nodded and said, “According to Lily, the virus can damage your organs, but your condition isn’t irremediable. She plans to treat you when she returns. It’s just that…”

After a pause, he slowly said, “You must be patient and wait for her return. That’s why you shouldn’t be risking your life again. Just stay here and recuperate until Lily gets back, all right?”

Alexander wanted to give Edward hope so he would not recklessly risk his life.

“Alex, you’re not trying to cheer me up, are you? I can handle the truth. I—”

Edward wanted to continue, but Alexander glared at him, saying, “When did you become so wishy-

washy? Do I need to cheer you up? What good would that do? If we can’t cure you, I’ll say it to your face, got it?

“Since you have a chance at life, cherish it and don’t unnecessarily risk it. No one’s life is dispensable;

yours matters most to your child and Olivia. Do you understand?” Alexander spoke fiercely with a solemn expression like he used to give orders in the past.

Edward had tears welling in his eyes as he nodded and said huskily, “I’m sorry. I wasn’t thinking straight. Still, I’d like to—”

He wanted to make his case, but Alexander did not give him the chance. “Enough! I’m the one making the calls, all right? Just do whatever I tell you. Or do you plan on defying me?”

Edward said earnestly, “I wouldn’t dare, sir!”

“Then I order you to go home and take good care of your wife and child, got it? Just wait for Lily to get back.” Alexander almost said the last sentence through clenched teeth.

No one was more worried about Lily’s safety than Alexander, but he knew he could never rescue her if he had not taken all the necessary steps beforehand.
