“Who are they if they’re not mine? Also, where did they come from, and why did the organization send them to me? If they are mine…” Alexander looked at Mike and Austin. “What’s the organization up to?”
Mike responded, “Do you think the organization plans to use the babies to blackmail you?”
“Could it be…” Austin stopped halfway.
“Yes?” Alexander raised his brows curiously.
Austin shook his head. “Nothing. I was just taking a wild guess.”
Alexander dropped the subject but noticed Austin’s grave expression. Alexander said, “Whatever it is, we must take good care of the children now.”
He knew the other two must be tired, saying, “You two should get some rest. Leave the babies to me.”
Mike disagreed, “No, you need to handle many more things. Let me watch over them.”
“Why don’t you two go to sleep? I’m a doctor. Let me do it,” Austin said.
“Cut it out, okay? They’re likely my children, so I should take care of them,” Alexander sighed, “I owe it to them.”
Austin and Mike exchanged a look and shut up.
Later that night, Alexander sat beside the twins. The nearby table had items he had urgently bought, such as baby formula and diapers.
When Galen was still a baby, he had hired a nanny to care for him. Alexander never had to worry about feeding or changing diapers. Although he could still get a maid to care for the twins now, he wanted to do it alone.
If they were his children, he owed them that. Even if they were not, they had only ended up there because of him. For now, Alexander could only hope Lily and the twins were safe.
…
Meanwhile, Lily sat in the attic as the phone screen gradually dimmed. Her eyes flickered, and she had a complex mix of emotions. She seemed relieved yet sad. All Lily did was stare at the screen longingly, wanting to reunite with her family as soon as possible.
“All right, I’ve fulfilled my promise. It’s your turn now, “Fred smiled smugly. He was pleased that everything had happened as he had expected.
He knew people were waiting to arrest him, but he was smart enough not to show himself or send his men. Therefore, he arranged for a delivery man to do the job. If the circumstances allowed, he wanted to laugh in their face.
Although Fred could not do it now, he knew he would have plenty of opportunities to do that when the experiment succeeded. Now, he looked expectantly at Lily.
