“I know how you feel, but we can only trust Lily now.” Cameron sighed, “Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you something.”
After a pause, he met Alexander’s puzzled gaze and said, “Rhea’s also at the embassy.”
Alexander was only slightly surprised. “So she knows who’s behind the organization.”
Nodding, Cameron asked, “What about your side? Did you find any evidence?”
“Yes, but… I feel he has his reasons.” Alexander shook his head, feeling conflicted. On the one hand, he felt betrayed. On the other hand, he empathized with him to some extent.
“That’s unlike you,” Cameron said, giving him a deep look.
Alexander knew he was right. The former could be tough on others in the past, but not anymore. It wasn’t that he had become soft as he got older. Instead, his experience had changed how he thought about the matter.
Having been worried about the twins and Lily lately, he knew how miserable it must be for the man. Alexander could guess why he did it.
“Let me observe him for a while,” Alexander said, “We all know Rhea was researching stuff she could use for mind control. I’m more inclined to believe he couldn’t help it, just as you were before.”
Cameron was at a loss for words.
He thought what happened last time was a significant setback in his life. However, he became highly guarded because of it. He even turned the tables when she tried to do it to him again, tricking her into believing he had fallen into her trap.
