If she were to tell Alexander that Frank had planned to inject her with drugs, it was likely she would be
unable to stop Alexander from killing Frank.
Lily said, after some thought, "I heard the kidnappers talking about it when I woke up.Oh, right, they
seem to have somewhere they held me hostage.The police should have confiscated them as
evidence."
Alexander listened to her quietly.
Although he did not say anything, his hand holding her clenched tighter over time, showing his
nervousness.
‘The kidnappers had drugs there? What if she accidentally touched it, or worse, what if they used it on
her?!’ He dared not think further! "Let’s go home," Alexander emphasized.
He wanted to take her home since he could no longer allow Lily to stay in such a dangerous place.
When he thought of the consequences if the rescue was late or if he had not flown over and rushed to
her side, he would likely blame himself for everything.
Lily obediently leaned on his shoulder but sat straight when she heard his words, "No way! I still have
the last round of the competition to participate in."
"You don’t need to go," Alexander said without hesitation.
The competition, the prize, and everything else were of no importance.
Alexander only wanted Lily to be safe and sound.
"B-But..."
Lily was speechless.
However, she could understand her husband’s feelings.She knew he was saying this because he was
too worried about her.She sighed softly and did not go against his wishes.
Instead, she lowered her eyes and feigned disappointment, "Oh well, I guess I won't participate
then.Even though I’ve prepared well for the competition and am confident in winning, it doesn’t
matter.Rebirth and Giselle will be disappointed, but that doesn’t matter.Nothing is more important to me
than you.
"No one would dare argue with you as long as you say something.It doesn’t matter how my colleagues
will view me.At worst, I can stay home and be a housewife.Then I can go to the spa, shop, have fun,
and live an easy life,"
Even though that was what she said, Alexander could see the reluctance and unwillingness on Lily’s
face.
Alexander knew she said these things on purpose.He understood Lily's dreams and aspirations, so he
supported her wholeheartedly all this time.
However, he had the intention of withdrawing his support just now.He looked at Lily’s pretty face.
Although she said she was willing to respect his wishes, Alexander noticed the unwillingness in her
expression.If he agreed with Lily, she would likely wilt like a flower with no sun and rain.
Alexander sighed in resignation, "Fine.You can go if you want to, but you must promise me you will pay
attention to your safety.Your safety must be a priority.There is nothing more important than you and
your life."
"I know.You’re the best."
Lily planted a kiss on Alexander’s cheek and smiled.
Alexander shook his head, "That’s it?"
"What?"
Alexander put his hand behind Lily’s head as he leaned forward to kiss her, "I want it like this."
Their soft lips touched, and Lily’s sweet scent filled Alexander’s nose.He could only feel at ease this
way.
Although Lily did not suffer any harm, Alexander could not bear it even at the slightest possibility.
Alexander closed his eyes and hugged her tighter.
