My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 239

In the car, Lily leaned back in her seat. Her baseball cap shaded her face, and she kept her eyes closed. She wasn't asleep, just deep in thought.

The weather had turned a bit chilly, so Loid draped his jacket over her shoulders without disturbing her.

Sitting in the front passenger seat, Shaun glanced back at Lily. He had many questions but was unsure if she was awake or not as her cap was blocking her face. In the end, he decided not to disturb her.

After some deliberation, he quietly asked Loid, "Mr. Laurier, are you really planning to let Lily reveal her identity? If her medical skills become public knowledge, everyone will be watching her. This will inevitably expose her identity as Reese, and it might make things more dangerous."

Loid gazed out the window, his eyes calm and unfathomable.

Shaun frowned and continued, "Currently, troubles in Freeqa are escalating. We need to hurry there. Besides, there's a new directive regarding the shooting in Driftwood Bay from over a decade ago. We're to find the truth as soon as possible.

"Also, the terrorists in Yastria are developing new and dangerous weapons. We've been ordered to make preparations."

Shaun sighed. "If Lily's identity is exposed now, it'll put all of us in a difficult position."

Loid lit a cigarette, took a drag, and exhaled the smoke out the window. Leaning back, he closed his eyes. After a long pause, he said, "Have you found the survivors from Driftwood Bay?"

Shaun replied, "Zarko's son and daughter are still alive. According to the information from Alchos, their identities have been well hidden. The person who did this is an expert, so we haven't been able to track their movements."

Loid opened his eyes slightly. "Who took the job?"
