His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1770

‘If the organization no longer values her and their conspiracy is about to be exposed, it’s not unfathomable for them to murder her to hide the truth. But when I recall every detail, everything seems weird. Even my escape was too easy.’

Austin had tried to escape before that but had consistently failed. However, his last attempt went so smoothly that he thought it was a dream. He even tried hurting himself to ensure it was real. Only after slowly pulling himself together did Austin finally accept that he had escaped.

As for Mike, Austin wondered if the organization would figure out that Mike was the one who let him go.

‘If so, what would happen to Mike? Why did he help me? If he was sincere about it, why didn’t he do that on the first day instead of waiting so long?’

The more Austin thought about it, the more suspicious he got. Still, he could not come up with an answer. Besides, he had not fully recovered yet, so there was no point thinking about other things when he could not even leave Dominic’s place.

“Don’t worry too much!” Michelle patted his hand gently, not knowing what was wrong but noticing his glum expression.

“I think Rhea is indeed dead. Her family has been busy with her funeral for the past few days, and they even bought her a burial plot in the cemetery. The surveillance team reported that Maria Moore had even cried until she fainted several times and was bedridden. That means it should be real.”

After pausing for a moment, she added, “Of course, they might be putting on a show, so our men will continue watching them closely and won’t miss anything if the family gives their game away!”

Letting out a forced smile, Austin nodded. “Mom, you and dad shouldn’t burden yourselves with this. I’ve troubled you guys enough.”

“Don’t be silly!” She reached out and gently touched his face, and noticed how hollow his cheeks were. “You’re our son, and we must help you! We should have shown you more concern, and I was too careless, not realizing you had gone missing. I’m not fit to be your mother!”

“This isn’t your fault!” Austin held her hands. “Stop blaming yourself. No one expected this to happen. I'd be happy if you and dad could take good care of yourselves.”

“Okay, you recuperate here, and we’ll take care of the rest!” Michelle, still not giving up, asked, “About our move to another country…”

“Not me!” He spoke decisively and left no room for negotiation. “I was born here, and my grandpa and granduncle are here. The things I want to learn are here, so I’m not going anywhere. However, you have my support if you and your dad wish to move overseas!”

Michelle hastily said, “How can we do that if you’re not coming with us? Okay, okay, don’t be mad. If you don’t wish to move overseas, then don’t. Our whole family will stay in the country, and your father and I will keep you company no matter what!”

Austin grunted a yes and did not retort.

Meanwhile, Anastasia had lost a lot of weight, and her father had been in a coma for the past two days.

Taking care of her father wasn't too hard, but dealing with his visitors was tiring. She felt she could not keep it from others anymore.

After glancing at her father, who seemed asleep, she took the phone and left the room to make a call. “Lily, when are you coming over?”
