Since Lily was familiar with scents, she immediately knew it would make her lose consciousness. Surely enough, it soon did.
Mike floored the gas pedal as he drove. He was too anxious and could not care less about his safety.

'How can you not answer your phone at this crucial moment, Alex?!' Mike did not know Alexander was overwhelmed at the moment. Dominic's symptoms were worsening again, and Austin could not handle his granduncle alone. Simultaneously, Galen developed a slight fever again while all the servants in the estate began experiencing worsening symptoms.
Moreover, Alexander's guards were outside guarding the place, so they did not know what was happening inside.
Mike floored the gas pedal to Alexander's office building. He thought Alexander would be in a meeting in his office but heard the latter had been working remotely these days. Someone helped Mike call the secretary and discovered Alexander was not in the office.
However, Mike did not receive information on Alexander's whereabouts. Mike stepped out of the building and saw the setting sun. He felt a profound sense of helplessness.
'Rick took Lily away, and I can't reach Alexander. If something happens to Lily, I won't be able to forgive myself!' At that moment, Mike's phone suddenly rang. He took out his phone and saw Alexander's number before excitedly answering. "You finally returned my call!" Alexander's voice was somewhat husky as he asked earnestly, "What happened?" When he returned to his bedroom, he saw dozens of missed calls from Mike on his phone screen. As Mike had never called him so frequently and urgently, he knew something crucial must have occurred Worried, Alexander tightened his grip on the phone.

"What's the point of apologizing?" Alexander sounded calm despite his anger. He knew it would be pointless to lose his temper now. "Where did she go?" "I have no idea...". That was one of the reasons why Mike was ashamed. "You know I can't get in touch with the higher-ups. They're too cunning, and I have no idea where Rick took her." "You..." Alexander said through clenched teeth.
Mike nearly cried in shame. “I know it's my fault. I'll figure out how to find her, but my network here isn't as strong as yours, so it's best to get your men to locate Lily. If Rhea is right..." He dared not finish his sentence.
What Rhea said was a shock to him, let alone Alexander. Mike could not imagine how hard the blow would be to Alexander.
"Rhea Moore..." Alexander narrowed his eyes. "Mike, return to the research facility right away!"
