His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 2183

Lily’s medical skills impressed Fred, but he had a more critical use for her. Even if he did not, a strong-headed person like her would never work for him. Therefore, there would be no point in keeping her alive.

“Bravo, Lily!” Fred took a deep breath to compose himself. It was a memorable lesson for him. As someone who constantly schemed against others, he never thought he would fall for such a simple trick.

He was not too dumb to see through it, but he had lost his composure thinking he was sick.

“I guess you won this round, Lily, but too bad you’re not going to make it out alive,” he said, “The conditions are almost ready now, and we’ll implement the experiment’s last phase. Are you ready?”

Fred smiled menacingly, thinking, ‘Yes, she played me like a fool, but I made the deal to save myself anyway. I should be happy she didn’t poison me. Who cares if I lost to her this time? I’ll still have the last laugh.’

“It doesn’t matter if I’m ready. What matters is whether you are. How are you so sure you’ll succeed? If you fail—”

Fred interrupted, “If I fail, I can always do it again. Don’t worry.”

Lily was puzzled.

Seeing her so, Fred laughed and walked off as if he had won.

Lily became lost in thought as she watched the door close.

When dawn broke, Alexander realized how physically demanding it was to care for babies. He even stayed up all night watching over them.

After the sleeping medication wore off, the two infants woke up in the middle of the night and started crying. They cried nonstop, probably because they were in a strange place or away from their mother.

Alexander prepared formula, fed them, changed their diapers, and then cradled one in each arm. It took forever to soothe them, but they started crying again whenever he laid them down.

It continued until daybreak.

So when Austin and Mike woke up, they saw Alexander sporting large dark circles under his eyes. It was only one night, but he looked haggard and drained as if two weeks had passed.

“You… haven’t slept all night?” Austin was shocked.
