This sparked a thought in Alexander.
She was right. If Edward survived and managed to escape, he would try to return to Kingsland. As for how, he would have his ways. After all, Edward had followed him through all sorts of predicaments. He was agile and intelligent enough to find his way home.
Alexander had gotten caught in a loop. He had been so preoccupied with his search for Edward abroad that he had neglected to consider the possibility that Edward had returned to Kingsland. Could the disease have affected his mental capabilities in any way?
“You’re right!” Alexander’s spirit was lifted. “I’ll get someone to look for him here right away!”
Although there was a lot of ground to cover, the Russells were well-connected. In addition, the Russells had spread their influence all over the country. Looking for someone here was easier than he had imagined.
“Okay.” Lily nodded.
For some reason, she always had a faint feeling that Edward was still alive. It wasn't self-soothing, she just had a strong intuition that he was fine.
Her phone began to vibrate uncontrollably in her pocket. She had kept her phone silent ever since she came here.
When she took it out, she saw that Olivia was calling. After glancing at Alexander, she turned around to answer the phone.
“Hello, Olivia?” The signal in the basement was not very strong, so she walked toward the stairs.
“Lily, where are you?” Olivia asked. “I went to your house, but I couldn’t find you. They said that you’ve been away for two days.”
“Yeah. Something urgent came up. What’s the matter? Is something wrong?” Lily lowered her voice and calmly asked.
“Did you go and see Mr. Russell?” Olivia asked unexpectedly.
Lily fell silent. She didn't want to lie to Olivia, but she also could not tell her what was going on.
Ultimately, Lily could only avoid the question and ask again, “What’s the matter?”
“Nothing.” The other end was quiet for a while as Olivia seemed to take a deep breath before answering.
Lily was a little surprised by her calmness. She had expected Olivia to burst into tears and collapse like before. This calmness scared Lily.
