Since Lily was familiar with scents, she immediately knew it would make her lose consciousness. Surely enough, it soon did.

Mike floored the gas pedal as he drove. He was too anxious and could not care less about his safety.
The other workers in the laboratory did not know the experiment had worked, and they were still conducting their daily experiments. Only Mike knew it was a state of emergency now. He called Alexander again, but no one picked up.
‘How can you not answer your phone at this crucial moment, Alex?!’
Mike did not know Alexander was overwhelmed at the moment. Dominic’s symptoms were worsening again, and Austin could not handle his granduncle alone. Simultaneously, Galen developed a slight fever again while all the servants in the estate began experiencing worsening symptoms.
Moreover, Alexander’s guards were outside guarding the place, so they did not know what was happening inside.
Mike floored the gas pedal to Alexander’s office building. He thought Alexander would be in a meeting in his office but heard the latter had been working remotely these days. Someone helped Mike call the secretary and discovered Alexander was not in the office.
However, Mike did not receive information on Alexander’s whereabouts. Mike stepped out of the building and saw the setting sun. He felt a profound sense of helplessness.
‘Rick took Lily away, and I can’t reach Alexander. If something happens to Lily, I won’t be able to forgive myself!’
At that moment, Mike’s phone suddenly rang. He took out his phone and saw Alexander’s number before excitedly answering. “You finally returned my call!”
