Spoiled by Mr. Russell

Chapter 2428

This time, Mike did not break down in tears like he used to. Instead, he was disturbingly calm.

“I’m sorry, Mike,” Lily did not know what else to say.

Mike grunted and turned to head inside. Although he did not blame Lily, it still made her feel miserable.

Alexander wrapped his arm around his wife’s shoulder and said, “It’s not your fault.”

Lily looked over her shoulder and nodded. She knew she had tried her best but could not help but feel

guilty.

Once inside, the living room was unusually silent. No one babbled in joy despite the reunion. A while

later, Mike broke the silence, saying, “Congrats on regaining your freedom, Lily.”

Lily smiled embarrassedly. “Thanks.”

Mike asked, “How’d you escape? Or did they let you go?”

Everyone else wanted to ask those questions but hesitated in his presence. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Since he had asked first, the others felt relieved. One of them asked, “Yeah, how’d you get out?”

“Prince Ross helped me escape,” Lily said solemnly.

“His Highness?!” Austin was shocked.

“Yeah.” She nodded and told them what happened.

“Queen Yasmin still refuses to change her mind, huh?” Austin said regretfully.

Dominic snorted. “I knew it! The older she gets, the more stubborn she becomes. She won’t give up so

easily since she’s worked on the experiment for so long.”

Everyone fell silent again because they noticed Mike looked rather upset. He could not hide the quiver

in his voice as he asked, “So, Nick was still on the table after you left, and they might’ve proceeded

with the experiment?”

No one answered because they knew his suspicions were possible.

Suddenly, Austin exclaimed, “Ross!”

Lily turned to him and asked, “What?”

“Since His Highness is still there, we can ask him if Nick is safe, right?” Austin elaborated.

Mike nodded repeatedly. “Yeah, you’re right! Can you call him? I’d like to know if Nicky’s still…”

He became nervous and could not bring himself to say the word “alive.”

“I think he…” Lily paused.

Austin asked as he dialed the number, “Yeah?”

Lily shook her head. “Nothing. Go ahead.
