His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1782

"Don't say that!" She raised her hand to cover his lips, looking up at him. "What are you going to spend your money on? They don't need money. Besides, what will the children and I eat if you spend all your money?"

Seeing her serious look, Alexander laughed and pulled her hand away to kiss her. "At least you can still joke around. That means you're not in a bad mood."

"I'm not, but I'm not in a good mood either. It's been a few months, and I still don't have a clue. It's a real mess. I feel like they've been leading me by the nose." Lily pursed her lips, a little discouraged.

Before, she had always been confident. Now, it seemed like it was faltering.

"What?" Alexander leaned back and put one hand on the sofa, gently stroking her hair. His gesture was gentle and had a surprisingly calming power.

She didn't answer but instead tilted her head to think. Then, she said, "I've been thinking about things for the past few months. There is always a link between them."

Following her, he tilted his head and pondered. "What link?"

"This all started at the research institute. I think Professor Thompson was also used by them, or in other words, he was their pawn. The experiments, in the beginning, were all a pretense. They just wanted to use the research institute's location, personnel, and preliminary ideas to do what they wanted. I didn't know that at the beginning."

"Yeah." Alexander nodded thoughtfully as he listened to her analysis carefully without interruption.

Lily continued, "Not long after, the plague broke out in Burnwken. Although it seems irrelevant, there is a link between that and the virus they've developed. Then there's Edward. I don't know what happened to him, but my gut tells me it also relates to them."
