Chapter 1257

Alexander did not want Lily to worry too much. After all, pregnant mothers were relatively weaker, and

overthinking would not be suitable for her health.

However, Lily was too bright. She could figure out many things without needing him to tell her about

them.

Sighing, he said, "I'll find out about Mike's situation while you stop overthinking the matter. Since this is

how the project is, we should stop it. I'll withdraw my investment, and you'll leave the team. Let's see

how they're going to move forward after that!"

"But..."

"No buts!" Alexander placed both his hands on Lily's shoulders. That was his first time stopping her

from doing something in such a severe manner.

In the past, he would support her no matter what she wanted to do, but he could not do that this time

around.

"Although we're unsure what they're up to, it's a given that this is a dangerous project. It might involve

more things and parties than you could've imagined. I know you're always interested in finding the

answers to something, but it’s different this time. Listen to me and stay away from the project, alright?"

Lily looked at Alexander, noticing the determination and sincerity in his gaze. Ever since they got

together, this was his first time stopping her from doing something so firmly.

After a moment of silence, she made up her mind. "Okay, I'll quit the team!"

Upon getting an answer from her, Alexander breathed a sigh of relief and looked less tense. He hugged

her tightly in his embrace and said softly, "I’m not trying to stop you from doing something you like, but

you must know that nothing is more important to me than your safety!"

Lily knew he had stopped her because he cared about her. Otherwise, she would have disagreed with

his request more quickly. However, Lily was still worried even though she promised to quit the team.

"Do you think they'll stop once I quit the team and when you withdraw your investment? Aren't you

curious about what they're trying to achieve through this experiment?" Lily looked at Alexander,

frowning as her eyes were full of puzzlement.

Alexander gave her question some thought. "They didn’t make any progress when you left for about

two months.

That's enough to prove they can't go anywhere without you and didn't find someone better to replace

you either.

"Yeah, they could get other investors, but it's not that easy to find someone to replace your spot in the

team. I'd think your departure from the team would be a huge blow to them, and they might not be able

to continue with it.”

His words made sense, but Lily did not think she was capable enough to where she was the only one

who had the potential to bring success to their experiment.

"What if they found someone to replace me?"

"There are a lot of what-ifs in this world. We can’t prepare ourselves for all of them, but the only thing I

can do is keep you safe!" Alexander promised.

They went through a lot together, and finally, they could enjoy the peaceful life they now had. He did

not want any accidents to happen to either of them anymore. To him, nothing was more critical than Lily

and their children.

Even though Lily had listened to his confession many times, his words still managed to warm her heart,

helping her let go of those worries and give in to him.

"Okay, I promise you I'll quit!" Lily held his hand softly as she looked up at the ceiling and thought,

‘Perhaps I should stop overthinking this.'

Somewhere about a hundred miles away from Kingsland, a vast grassland was lush and flat. A villa

with an extraordinary land area was situated not far away from the vast land. The gate was closed all

year round, and most would think it was an abandoned house.

However, this was where Dominic, the well-respected figure in the field of medicinal herbs, resided. He

seldom left home, and only his maids would often leave the villa to purchase groceries and other

necessities. On the outside, the villa looked simple yet mysterious.

When the gate to the villa opened, one would think they had entered another universe.
