NovelEnglishRegardless of the reason, be it skind of drug was controlling Edward or that he was just putting on a show, there was no need
for him to get a divorce. It was not like he had a change of heart or found another lover.
Sure, he had fallen out with Alexander and Lily, but Olivia had always been loyal to him. There was no need for him to treat Olivia
this way. Moreover, Olivia was now pregnant. It was too heartless of Edward to treat her this way.
“Did you ask him why? What's with the sudden decision? Weren't you both just fine yesterday?” Lily frowned, trying to figure out a
reason for Edward's behavior.
Olivia nodded fervently. “Yeah, we were fine yesterday. He went out late at night, and | pretended | didn’t notice. I'm always putting
on a good act, so he probably hasn't realized it yet. Still, he wants to get a divorce. | cried and begged him to stay. | even yelled at
him, asking him why. Other than insisting on the divorce, he said nothing else. I...”
She trailed off, unable to suppress her sadness anymore, which was evident in her tone. Before she chere, Olivia spent a long
ttrying to calm herself down. Her eyes were swollen from the long hours of crying. She did not want to cry anymore but could

When she saw Lily, she reminded herself not to cry and to be strong. After all, crying was not a solution to any problem. However,
she could not control herself and got heartbroken whenever she thought of this matter, and his expression at the the brought
it up to her.
“Don’t cry!” Lily took a piece of tissue and handed it to Olivia while she moved to sit nearer to the latter.
Lily placed her hand on Olivia's shoulders as a form of comfort, hoping to lend the girl sconfidence and strength in this dire
moment.
“Don’t be afraid. Edward had done many things that are out of character recently, which we can’t analyze from our standard
perspectives. Hence, why don’t you think of them as two different people instead of just one?
“Would you feel better that way?” Lily wanted to comfort Olivia. After all, they felt something was off about him but could not
pinpoint it yet.
“Huh?” Olivia was not crying anymore. Instead, she looked at Lily with widened eyes, confused by what she said.
“I mean, he’s been behaving strangely these days. I'm sure you've noticed it as well. He has been working for Alex and could even
risk his life for Alex, taking bullets for him.
“But then he had suddenly turned on Alex and said such things. | don’t think that's what the old Edward, who had been loyal to his
boss, would do. It's either he was forced to do so or that... he isn’t the person we used to know.”
Lily explained seriously, but Olivia shook her head. “No, that’s not possible. | can still recognize my own husband, be it from the
memories we shared or his touches...”
Her cheeks flushed red, and she continued, “I can assure you he’s still the sEdward we know! It's just that... he might've
changed?”
“Even if he had changed, how could he have changed so drastically? Id think it’s either because he was forced into doing this, or
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmskind of drug controlled him, and that he had no idea about it.”
“What?” Olivia was appalled. She was more afraid than she was upset now. “You said that Edward is controlled by someone? By
who?”
After sthought, Lily decided to tell Olivia the truth. She had previously kept it from Olivia out of concern for her well-being. If
Lily continued to keep the situation from Olivia now that Edward wanted to file for divorce, Olivia would only overthink the
situation. That might even be worse for her health, both mentally and physically.
“Liv, there's one thing | haven't told you because you might be scared after learning about it.” After a moment, Lily continued,
“There's been an experiment recently dedicated to the study of substances that can control a person’s mind and actions.”
Olivia widened her eyes in bewilderment and looked at Lily in disbelief. “What experiment? Your experiment? Why don’t | know
about it?”
She was obviously more emotional now. Lily held one of Olivia's hands while she picked up the glass of milk with another. “Have
sof this and calm down first. Ill tell you about it slowly.”
