Olivia did not feel like drinking the milk. However, she knew Lily would not continue if she did not calm down and drink the milk.
Ultimately, Olivia took the glass and sipped it.
Knowing how Olivia felt, Lily held her hand and looked into her eyes, saying, “Of course, it wasn’t my experiment, but | once took
part in it. That's why | know something.”
“You once took part in it?” Olivia looked at Lily doubtfully with a frown, then suddenly remembered. “You're talking about the
research institute? B-But isn’t that place abandoned now? | heard its personnel disbanded, and the experiment had completely
failed.”
“It didn’t fail but has gone underground. These people haven't given up, and their actions have a broad impact. | can’t tell you in
detail, but | can tell you that there is such an experiment, and they have indeed cup with many strange drugs.

“I'm unsure if Edward has been under one of the drugs’ influence, but his shift in personality likely has something to do with the
organization.” Lily had held Olivia's hand to detect her most direct emotional responses. As it was not shaking and Olivia looked
calmer, Lily relaxed, knowing Olivia was emotionally stable.
‘It shows she’s accepting my explanation and is digesting the information.’
Indeed, Olivia was digesting the fact. She lowered her head and gave it sthought, not looking as sad when she looked up
again. “So it’s not Edward's intention to divorce me, and he might be affected by sdrug?”
Lily looked at her and nodded.
Although it was just speculation, it could at least comfort Olivia. At the stime, it was probable.
Olivia suddenly cheered up. “I knew he could never be so heartless! He's such a loyal and righteous person, so how could he
change so much? He must be under drug influence and—"
She paused as she suddenly thought about something. “If Edward is under the influence, can he recover? Will it damage his
health? How should | help him?”
“That's what I've been researching, and Alex is conducting his investigation as well, but everything is still ongoing. As | said, what
they're doing has a wide impact and poses a great danger, so we aren't sure if we can handle it.”
Lily sighed and added, “I told you these things so you don’t get too worked up and act rashly. What matters most now is for you to
take good care of yourself and your unborn child, okay?”

Olivia nodded but was still worried. “Then what should | do now?”
“Talk to him nicely and see what he’s up to. If he insists, then agree to it.”
“Agree to it?” Olivia got riled up immediately. “No, | won't divorce him. Over my dead body!”
“Olivia—" Lily tried to persuade her, but Olivia stopped her agitatedly. “Don’t try to persuadebecause | won't agree! If he has
fallen in love with someone else or cheated on me, I'll leave him, but that’s not the case.
“He’s under the influence of a drug and doesn’t even know what he’s doing! In other words, he’s in grave danger. How can |
abandon my husband at this juncture? No, | won't divorce him. Absolutely not!”
“Then what if he insists?” Lily asked.
