Chapter 1539
Alexander was very thoughtful. However, judging from how Greg acted, Alexander had probably trained
him. The security measures of this place were also very well planned.
’Then..." After pondering for a moment, Lily asked softly, "Where's Edward?’
Alexander fell silent as soon as he heard that name, and his face turned solemn.
From the looks of it, the situation might be more ominous than Lily had thought. Her mood dropped as
well. On the one hand, she wanted to know the answer, but on the other, she was afraid of what she
might hear.
'If something bad happened, how would Olivia take it?'

plague. I knew I couldn’t stay any longer and had to return."
After a pause, he continued, "The whole situation was chaotic. Just as we were about to leave, we ran
into a bunch of thugs. Edward took a bullet for me..."
"Is he dead?’ Lily suppressed the sadness that startled to bubble in her heart and asked directly.
"Maybe." Alexander sighed. "He was still alive when I left, but he didn't come with me. He urged me to
go and said he would cover for me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to make it back as smoothly
as I did."
Although his explanation was brief and light, Lily could feel how complicated and dangerous it was at
that time just by listening to him.
Chaos, gunfights, and one could barely make it out alive. Even thinking of this almost made her heart
stop.
Although Alexander had gotten infected with the plague, he could still be here, talking to Lily calmly. It
was as if all the danger he faced was stories she heard on the TV.
'I-I was so close to losing him. Our children were so close to growing up without a father.'
With those thoughts in mind, Lily's breathing became shallow, and she could not help but squeeze
Alexander's hand tightly. "Alex...’
"It’s okay. It’s all over now." Alexander patted her hand lightly and forced a smile. "I've secretly sent
someone to check on Edward's whereabouts. I don't believe he would just die like that. He is talented
and agile. The gunshot didn't hit any vital parts. Whatever it is...’

Ultimately, he quietly mumbled, "In short, he's only dead when I see his body. I won’t leave Edward in a
foreign land like this."
Lily looked at his heavy eyes and understood his pain. She nodded. "Well find him. I believe Edward
will be safe and sound."
"Olivia...did you tell her?" Alexander suddenly asked.
Lily shook her head. "I didn't dare to say anything. She's pregnant. I'm worried she might not be able to
take it. Besides, even you said you're unclear about the situation. I don't know much, so I didn't want to
spread nonsense."
"Then don't tell her anything yet. Wait until I hear back from my men," Alexander said firmly with a nod.
