Chapter 2396

Yasmin probably did not try hiding Nick on purpose, unlike Fred. Of course, the latter had to do many things in secret back then.

The man guarding Nick’s room tried to stop Lily before letting her in. As they were under constant surveillance, she guessed it was an order from the higher-ups and that the guard must have received the order through his earpiece.

Nick sat obediently in the room. He smiled when he saw her, saying, “Hi, Lily.”

“You still remember me, huh?” Lily felt sorry for the boy as she looked at him.

“Of course I do.” He nodded.

Lily had saved his life in Westwood and helped him a lot afterward. Nick also used to visit her house often before he got abducted.

Nick nodded and asked, “My dad…will rescue us, right?”

Caught off guard, Lily took a deep breath. “You know they’re all bad guys, huh?”

Nick nodded again. “Did they catch you as well? Aren’t you good at fighting? Why did you let them take you? Also.”
