Chapter 71
Lily stayed in the laboratory the whole afternoon and barely spared time even to drink water. She was a
very enthusiastic worker and would block out all external distractions once she was engrossed in her
work.
Lily only realized it was already dark when someone knocked on the laboratory door, urging her to
leave. The task was more difficult than expected, and she miscalculated the time it would need.
Jenny had given her three days, and Lily made her plans according to her habits in the old laboratory.
She had not considered not being able to stay as late as she had wished.
She had to leave on time. No one was allowed to stay overnight at the company except for the staff on
duty. After all, there was a concern for information confidentiality. She was only permitted to be in this
laboratory, for example.

Lily took off her coat, headgear, and gloves before she washed her hands several times. It was already
past eight, and the sky was dark. Jenny was long gone. She had informed Lily of the task and only
needed to wait for the result. She did not need to wait for Lily.
Lily stood in front of the building and saw most of the lights in the building were off. The nearby street
lights were dim, and the road looked dark. There were not many cars passing by, let alone cabs.
With a sigh, Lily pulled out her phone and tried booking a car through an app. Considering there were
no drivers nearby, it was difficult to find one. Looking at the map, Lily found a small town two kilometers
away where getting a car could be more accessible.
With no other option, she could only walk there. The pavement made walking easy, but with the dark
sky and no one around, it felt pretty deserted.
Lily only took a few steps when she heard a faint car engine behind her. She turned around and could
vaguely see a dark–colored vehicle that looked like a private car. Lily moved to the side to give way.
The car unexpectedly drove right next to her, stopping with a screeching sound.
“Ouch!”
Lily instinctively jumped to the side but lost her footing when she landed. She fell to the ground and felt
a piercing pain in her ankle.
Damn!
The car stopped, and someone opened the door to step out of the vehicle. Lily felt nervous, angry, and
scared
She could not help but reprimand the person approaching her as she looked up, “Don‘t you know how
to drive?”
“Why‘d you jump to the side?”
Lily was stunned when she saw Alexander standing before her. Lily pouted as she was unsure if she
should cry or laugh, ww–why are you here?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was his fault for not notifying her, making her panic for nothing
“Who else do you think it is?”
Alexander crouched in front of Lily to check her feet under the light from the car‘s beadiate Are you
injured?”
“I‘m fine. It‘s just a sprain.” Lily managed to stand up with help from Alexander She bordet into the car
and felt more at ease.
Alexander sat inside the car and closed the door before telling Edward, the driver, let‘s ga” “Which leg
did you sprain?” Alexander asked as soon as the car started moving Lily was speechless at his
question. Did he want her to show her feet when others were in the car?
“It‘s okay. It can wait until we‘re back,” Lily subconsciously touched her ankie as she replied in a soft
voice.
