Lily did not answer because she saw a car parked not far away across the road. The car was incredibly attention-grabbing at this hour and on this part of the road. The car’s backdoor was wide open, and a tall man came out. He stood there for a while, then turned to walk toward Lily.
"Lily?" Since Lily did not answer, Olivia called her name again. She followed Lily's line of sight and saw a man walking toward them. Olivia squinted to see the man getting closer. Even though it was late at night and the duo was under the dim street lamp, Olivia could still see the man's figure and facial features.
Olivia thought the situation resembled a masterfully crafted scene from a movie. The man was ordinary, but he seemed shining, and no one could take their eyes off him. Even if there was no introduction and Olivia had not met this person before, she could tell who this person was from Lily's reaction and the way the two were gazing at each other.
"So, it was you, after all," Lily said.
She could guess Alexander was nearby the lab from the things Edward sent earlier, the way Alexander responded to her texts, and the photo he sent of Edward. However, Lily was focused on her experiment’s last stage and could not afford to get distracted.
"Why aren't you wearing the clothes I brought you?" Alexander disapprovingly frowned when he noticed Lily was only wearing a long-sleeved shirt. Then he took off his jacket and put it on her.
"I was busy, so I forgot to put it on. It would seem I don't need it now," Lily said while tugging at the jacket Alexander had put on her. She could feel its warmth.
"Can we go home?" Alexander asked.
Lily nodded, then turned to look at Olivia.
