His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1757

That made Mike speechless. A promise was something abstract and vague. Even if Mike were to guarantee it with his life, it would be unable to reverse any damage if Alexander took Mike’s life should anything happen to Lily.

A moment of hesitation later, Lily, in Alexander’s arms, said, “Then, what if I’m the one to promise you that?”

Alexander and Mike were stunned.

Alexander lowered his head and looked at Lily. She raised her head slightly to meet his gaze, a faint smile on her face. “I promise I’ll take good care of myself. I’ll stop if I immediately sense any danger or if something feels off. I’ll prioritize my and our baby’s safety at all times. What about that?”

Lily even raised her hand to swear on her words. She appeared to be serious about it.

Alexander did not know what to say for a moment. If it were anyone else, he would have many things to retort to them. However, it was Lily who would always make him feel helpless. She knew this clearly and took advantage of it as well.

However, Alexander still squeezed his lips shut and stayed silent as he struggled in his mind. He was genuinely unwilling to put her in any dangerous situation. It terrified him.

“It’s different now. I know the organization is desperate for Lily’s abilities and her help in their experiments. They should be in a dire state for them to pressure me this way. I’ll admit I have selfish reasons.

“I want to relieve my burdens, for my son to be safer, and to buy myself more time. Still, you must agree that this is the best and fastest way to settle this issue,” Mike persuaded when he noticed Alexander’s hesitation.

Mike took in a deep breath and a step forward to convince Alexander. He looked like he had made an important decision before saying, “There’s one thing you may not know. The drug they’re trying to create is far beyond your imagination. It can do things from controlling other people’s minds to their souls and bodies.

“The organization is pretty ambitious, I would say. Although they’ve never told me this, I think they’re not only after a strategic location when they snatch the vaccination project away from you.

“They want more than just that. Once they start, it’s not something you and I, nor anyone else, can control,” Mike said solemnly.

“They want more…” Alexander repeated the phrase and pondered.

“They want to use the vaccines as a cover-up and quicken the virus’s transmission, leading to the country’s and society’s downfall at breakneck speed!” Lily suddenly added.

Alexander widened his eyes and looked at her. Although she was petite and cooped up in his arms, her face still slightly flushed from earlier incidents, she looked as determined as ever. Every word she said sent chills up their spines.

‘She mentioned they wanted to use the vaccines to speed up the transmission of the virus. By then…’

The thought itself was terrifying enough. By then, it would not be the problem of merely a few people or families. It would be catastrophic destruction for humankind.

‘What the hell were those people trying to do?!’
