Alexander's POV
"Sir, could you please come to the police station?" the officer said over the phone.
"Did something happen?" I asked.
"Our officers found Miss Summer earlier today, sir."
My grip on the phone tightened instantly.
"I'll be there in an hour."
Without waiting for a response, I ended the call.
Just as I suspected.
Lilian had been hiding in Velaridge City this entire time.
And whoever had been protecting her,I would find out soon enough.
I left the study and headed upstairs to the master bedroom.
It wouldn't be safe for Alicia to come with me in her current condition, but I still wanted to tell her where I was going. I didn't want another misunderstanding between us.
When I entered the room, however, Alicia was asleep.
She lay quietly on the bed, her breathing steady and peaceful.
I stood beside her for a moment, watching her.
No matter how urgent the situation was, I couldn't bring myself to wake her.
In the end, I decided to tell her when I returned.
