His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1859

Lily left the office and reached downstairs when Mike caught up to her. He hurried over while calling out, “Lily? Lily! Did you mean what you said?”

Lily stopped and turned to look at him. “Which part?”

“Well…” He hesitated, seemingly not knowing how to phrase himself.

“That I don’t f*cking care?” Seeing his hesitant look, Lily said it out loud on his behalf.

Mike let out an embarrassed smile.

“Of course not,” she readily denied it and added, “How could there be anyone who doesn’t care about their beloved family or friends? However, I meant it when I said that as a parent, I can’t always protect my children despite my best efforts.”

She looked saddened as she stared at the ceiling, but Mike disagreed, “You might think so, but I’m going to rescue Nick even if I have to sacrifice myself!”

‘I still have to try even if I can’t. Even if I die!’

“Then what?” Lily asked blandly.

Her question bewildered him. “What do you mean?”

“Will you be able to protect him forever if you sacrifice your life?” she asked.

Mike was stumped. Indeed, he could not guarantee that.
