Chapter 1496
Austin kept quiet the whole time, but he understood the situation. The reason Lily didn't show up was
that she was warned by a man named Mike Corden.
Although Austin had no idea why Mike would help Lily or what their relationship was, he felt at ease
knowing that she did not sacrifice her life in vain to save him and that she did show up.
He did not know how to feel. He would not even consider her his friend, yet, she was willing to come
and save him, despite knowing how dangerous it might be. On the other hand, he had been...
Rhea turned around, only to realize that Austin was still on the ground. Then she ordered, "Take him
back and lock him up again!"
Austin did not fight this time and allowed them to drag him away.

The tights she wore were uncomfortable and suffocating. The fact that she was carrying another
human inside her was not helping.
She looked at herself in the mirror and saw her swollen belly. This reminded her that she was
responsible for another life and could not do whatever she wanted. Even if she didn't feel the
discomfort, the little one inside her might.
As she gently caressed her belly, she felt the baby move inside. Maybe it was a mother's touch.
The thought of this made her sigh, and she said, "I'm sorry, I didn't want to drag you along on this
adventure with me, but I have no choice. You understand my dilemma, right?"
Her belly moved again, seeming as if it were replying to her. This was also a sign that her baby was
healthy. Now that she was home, Lily relaxed a little and took a shower. Once she had a change of
clothes, she began to think back on what had happened tonight.
She didn't expect Mike to show up there. She was curious about his involvement in the whole project.
If he was the mastermind and head of the whole project, there was no need for him to try and stop her
from breaking in. He could have just waited for her to fall into their trap.
On top of that, the words he used tonight were ambiguous and vague. Lily had no idea what he meant.
She sat at her desk and turned on her computer. Initially, she wanted to call Dominic, but it was already
too late. She decided that she would call him tomorrow instead. At this moment, her phone rang.
Lily turned her head and saw an unfamiliar number flashing on the screen. She frowned at it for a
moment before finally picking it up.
"Hello?" There was no sound from the other side. However, it wasn't completely silent. She could hear
the faint sound of someone breathing.

"Lily!" That rich and deep voice sounded so familiar, and comforting. Just like the voice in her dream!
Lily felt her heart thumping against her chest, and her breathing became shallow. "Alex?!”
She could not believe it. However, the voice that came through the phone was his. She was sure of it.
His voice was something she was so familiar with.
'It’s him. It must be him!'
It was just that he was calling from an unknown number. Why was he calling her at this time, and why
did he sound troubled? What was going on?
"Alex, is that you? What's wrong? Why are you calling me from this number? Where are you now? How
have you been?" Lily eagerly asked a series of questions without giving him time to answer.
