His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1842

Lily subconsciously retracted her hand in an instant. She was shocked as well. The earlier feeling made her think she was under a curse. As Lily had learned about herbal plants, she knew how poisonous the wilfordi root could be.

Moreover, this was a mutated plant before her, so she should not touch it. However, she felt she was possessed earlier because she could not help but extend her hand toward it. It was such a strange feeling.

When she snapped back to her senses, she looked toward the voice. It was a man in a hazmat suit, and she could only see his eyes. She did not know anyone here, but the man gave her a sense of familiarity.

“Who are you?” she asked warily.

“You don’t need to know that, but I’d advise you to leave as quickly as possible.” With that, he turned and left the room.

Lily was puzzled. She wondered if he had come here just to warn her. Before she could react, the man exited through the door and turned at the corner, disappearing from her sight.

She chased behind him, only to see a figure leaving in hurried steps. Although he wore a hazmat suit, he looked familiar to her. Frowning, she followed behind the man, but he was no longer in sight after leaving the room and turning the corner.

The hallway was empty, including all its other paths to the left and right. Lily saw no one as if the man had not appeared earlier. It was as if she just imagined things.

‘That’s impossible! He’s real, and I’m sure of it.’

It should have been easy for Lily to sense someone’s presence with her combat skills. Earlier, she could say she missed it because she was fixated on the wilfordi root, but what about later? What about when she ran out of the room? Why could she not sense his presence anymore?

‘There are only two possibilities. Either I just saw things earlier, or the man is skilled, too!’

It was unsurprising for any kind of talent to exist in this organization. What was strange to Lily was that the man appeared to warn her, and she could even say he had saved her life. Still, she wondered why he left after warning her. It was as if he appeared just to save her.

Lily pondered and searched for the man for some time but still could not find him anywhere.

‘How weird was that?’

Then she returned to the lab and saw that some people had already returned. However, they simply continued with their work, and no one spared her a glance when she walked through the door. She observed them and found no one was identical to the man earlier.

‘Who was he?’

Lily stood before the wilfordi root once again. This time, she stared at it but did not get any closer.

Now, she seemed to understand why they placed it in such a manner, with a circular layer of protection surrounding it. When one got closer to it, they seemed to be attracted uncontrollably. She wondered what kind of powers the mutated wilfordi root had.
