NovelEnglishThis sparked a thought in Alexander.
She was right. If Edward survived and managed to escape, he would try to return to Kingsland. As for how, he would have his ways.
After all, Edward had followed him through all sorts of predicaments. He was agile and intelligent enough to find his way home.
Alexander had gotten caught in a loop. He had been so preoccupied with his search for Edward abroad that he had neglected to
consider the possibility that Edward had returned to Kingsland. Could the disease have affected his mental capabilities in any way?
“You're right!” Alexander's spirit was lifted. “I'll get someone to look for him here right away!”
Although there was a lot of ground to cover, the Russells were well-connected. In addition, the Russells had spread their influence
all over the country. Looking for someone here was easier than he had imagined.
“Okay.” Lily nodded.
For sreason, she always had a faint feeling that Edward was still alive. It wasn't self-soothing, she just had a strong intuition
that he was fine.
Her phone began to vibrate uncontrollably in her pocket. She had kept her phone silent ever since she chere.

When she took it out, she saw that Olivia was calling. After glancing at Alexander, she turned around to answer the phone.
“Hello, Olivia?” The signal in the basement was not very strong, so she walked toward the stairs.
“Lily, where are you?” Olivia asked. “I went to your house, but | couldn’t find you. They said that you've been away for two days.”
“Yeah. Something urgent cup. What's the matter? Is something wrong?” Lily lowered her voice and calmly asked.
“Did you go and see Mr. Russell?” Olivia asked unexpectedly.
Lily fell silent. She didn't want to lie to Olivia, but she also could not tell her what was going on.
Ultimately, Lily could only avoid the question and ask again, “What's the matter?”
“Nothing.” The other end was quiet for a while as Olivia seemed to take a deep breath before answering.
Lily was a little surprised by her calmness. She had expected Olivia to burst into tears and collapse like before. This calmness
scared Lily.
Lily could not help but try comfort Olivia. “Olivia, stop thinking about it. Edward will be fine. All we need to do now is wait for good
news. | believe there'll be good news!”
This was her way of persuading not only Olivia, but also herself.
“l know,” Olivia replied lightly.
To Lily's astonishment, Olivia seemed completely at ease.
Just as she was about to ask another question, Olivia spoke up, “By the way, did you know something happened in the lab?”
“The lab?” She glanced in Alexander's direction and noticed that he was focused on the computer before asking, “What
happened?”
“Police went to search the place. Apparently, someone went missing. | think it’s that... Austin guy that cto our stubefore.”
Olivia could not quite remember his name. All she could recall was the man jumping up and down at the studoor a while ago.
It seemed like Austin’s parents had finally called the police. Lily breathed a sigh of relief. “What happened after that?”

“They didn’t find anyone,” Olivia replied. "I heard they searched the laboratory from top to bottom but found no one."
This was both an expected and an unexpected result.
Lily frowned. “Did they search everywhere?”
“Yes. They've checked all the surveillance tapes as well.”
“Including the basement and the offices on the top floor?”
Although she had never been to the two places she mentioned, she was surprised and curious that the police managed to search
them.
“Yeah. The person's parents seem to be prestigious and powerful. They made a big commotion and pressured the police force. The
police checked everything thoroughly. | heard they even dispatched the K9 force but didn’t find anything. It was concluded that
maybe the laboratory had nothing to do with his disappearance.”
Hearing this, Lily was speechless for a moment.
