His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1524

“Old man!” She called him solemnly out of the blue. “This is important! Do you really want your only grandnephew to have been murdered?”

Like a little boy who got scolded, Dominic pouted. He was worried but had only talked tough.

“All right then.” He mumbled, “What kind of lousy research institute would do such a horrible thing?”

Lily thought the same. If she knew the research institute would be up to no good, she would not have joined in the first place.

‘However, when I backed out, the experiment did not stop. It shows that the project is not as simple as I initially thought.’

“I think the research institute is just a local base. They should be operating in more than one place,” Lily said thoughtfully.

“What?!” Dominic was shocked.

“There’s strict law enforcement in our country. Although the lab has something to do with the pandemic, I suspect the virus might not have been leaked from here. Of course, it’s just something that I suspect, and I’ve asked someone to investigate. I feel like the government might have noticed something as well, but we are not aware of it,” she said solemnly.

Patting his head, Dominic frowned. “This is giving me a headache! I’m too old to handle complicated things. It would be best if young people like you looked into it.”

“So I have to ask you to take care of Galen for a few more days. I’ll only take him back after I settle these affairs.” Lily brought this up at the last minute.

“What?” Widening his eyes, Dominic wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and decided against it, waving. “Fine! I guess it’s just my bad luck.”

“If you’re unwilling, then I…”

Lily purposely said so after a smile, but he curtly interrupted, “Then what? Where do you plan to bring your son to? I know you and your husband want to save the world and keep getting yourselves into trouble, but don’t drag Galen into this! Do you know how old he is? He will stay here and not go anywhere!”

“Okay!” Lily readily answered.

Dominic caught himself.

‘Why do I feel like I was tricked?’

…

A thud sounded. His stomach punched hard, and Mike doubled over in pain. The blood on the corners of his lips was not dried yet. Unable to withstand the pain, he crouched in a half-kneeling position but did not moan.

“This is just a minor punishment. If you get up to your little tricks again, you’ll not be the one who suffers from punches and hardship,” the masked man said coldly. His husky voice was creepy and had an unnerving effect making the threat.
