Chapter 1236
She felt it was unlikely they could achieve such a result and saw that there was no need to invest that
much money and time in it, hence the conflict.
Lily had been working in her studio again. While preparing the essence, she thought about how some
medicinal herbs would always have a smell associated with them. Why must she forcibly try and
separate the two?
It was not a big deal if the consumers could smell the medicinal herbs used in the perfumes.
Just like how lavender was known for soothing nerves and mint was refreshing, medicinal herbs also
had their own uses. However, the institute was heading in a different direction. Instead of creating
products to allow consumers to accept medicinal herbs in a more pleasant way, they were trying to get

This was the weird part of all this!
On top of this and the fact that the research was stagnant, she hadn't returned to the institute for more
than half a month. She hadn't heard from them until two days ago, when she got a letter inviting her to
this symposium.
At first, Lily was looking forward to a learning exchange, but it turned out to be a boring banquet and a
shocking meeting with a misogynist.
After a moment of consideration, Alexander said, i'll never stop you from doing what you want, but just
promise me one thing. You must always prioritize your safety, no matter what you find or encounter.
Don't force the issue, okay?"
Hearing this, she smiled and struck a pose. "You forgot, I'm a kickboxer! Unless they brought
guns to a fistfight... Besides, we're at Kingsland!"
"Don't forget that you're pregnant!"
As he said this, he gently reached out to stroke her stomach, feeling helpless and worried.
His wife often forgot that she was pregnant. She was always bustling with energy and wanted to get to
the bottom of things.
However, he knew her too well to try and stop her. Instead, all he could do was try his best to take
protective measures and allow her to do whatever she liked.
Lily nodded and lowered her gaze to see her son, who had fallen asleep in her arms.
"Let's tuck Galen into bed!" Alexander took him and proceeded to the stairs.
As soon as he reached the bottom of the stairs, Daisy came down to greet them. "I thought this little
boy should be asleep by this time, and guess what? He really is! Let me do it!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe carefully took the child over and put him in her arms. Alexander watched her go upstairs and into
Galen's room before turning around and asking Lily,
"Is the new nanny okay?"
"She's great. I think she’s better than the previous one. There are a lot of times when she's more
careful than me," she answered as she checked through the unread messages on her phone.
She had yet to look at her phone since she left the symposium. There were several WhatsApp
messages and a few emails in her inbox.
On top of that, there were three missed calls. They were all unknown numbers from landlines. Thinking
that they were just scam calls, she ignored them.
Then she clicked on one of her WhatsApp messages and looked at it.
Alexander leaned over from behind and rested his chin on her neck. When he noticed the faint red
marks on her collarbones, the corners of his lips raised. "Are you still tired?"
"Huh?"
