His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)
Chatper 2416

'Perhaps Queen Yasmin isn't even around.'

The guards had strange expressions as one of them waved and said, "We have no idea."

"Okay, I got it." Lily nodded.

The guards were puzzled, wondering what she got. They remained at their posts as they watched her leave.

When Lily reentered the elevator, she did not press the floor button.

Based on Rhea's words and the guards' reaction, it was evident the two guards were referring to Rhea just now. In other words, Rhea had gone looking for the queen but got turned away, too.

'Rhea also assumed Her Majesty was with me, so she rushed back just now to see Yasmin? That must be why Rhea was surprised to see me all by myself. She must've thought I was with the queen instead.'

Even Lily wondered where else Yasmin and herself would be if not the laboratory. Unable to come up with an answer, Lily wondered why Yasmin would avoid telling her and Rhea where she had gone.

Lily thought of someone, and a chill ran down her spine. She then pressed a floor button and wished her suspicions were wrong.

When the elevator reached the floor below, she strode out and broke into a jog. However, she was alarmed before she could even reach the bedroom door. No one was guarding the room.

Typically, two formidable-looking guards would be standing outside. This time, both were absent. Lily hurried over and pushed the door open. "Nicky—"

It was so quiet that she could almost hear her voice echoing in the empty room. Still, she refused to give up and called for the boy again, "Nick? Nicky!"

She went around the room but found no one. Her heart sank as her worst fears came true-the queen had taken Nick away.

'Since the queen has done this without my knowledge, she must be trying to- Is she that desperate?

Why couldn't she wait for me? She knows how risky the experiment is!'

Lily turned and ran out of the room.
