It wasn't surprising they hadn't found him; he'd likely been transferred due to the intense scrutiny. However, she was surprised even the police dogs hadn't picked up a scent. Had he never been kept in the laboratory, or had they taken steps to erase all traces?

"Hello? Are you still there?" Olivia received no reply and called out to Lily.

"Yes, I'm here. What happened after that?"

"Nothing. Since the police found nothing, they can only continue searching," Olivia said, pausing. "Maybe it's because the lab has been relocated."

"Relocated?" Lily frowned, surprised. "Where to?"

"I have no idea. They're still looking for a suitable location."

"That's odd. It seems they anticipated this and planned their evacuation," Lily mused, sighing. "Is there anything else?"

"No. Oh, wait, one more thing..."

"What is it?" Lily asked, stopping herself from hanging up.

"I received another email from the Yudonian royal family. They're coming to Kingsland and want to meet you to discuss things further."

Lily was speechless. She hadn't expected their persistence after her refusal, especially an in-person visit. Now she couldn't refuse. "I'll arrange a meeting. We'll discuss this further when they arrive in Kingsland."

"Okay," Olivia replied. After a hesitant pause, she added, "Um... anything else?"

"Take care of yourself and the baby. Be patient. We need to take care of ourselves before we can care for others," Lily advised.

"Mr. Russell... is he okay?" Olivia asked suddenly.

Lily looked at Alexander, who smiled and nodded. "He should be fine. You'll be the first to know about Edward."

"Okay! You take care too." Olivia hung up.

Lily stared at the phone, a strange feeling rising. Olivia had sounded odd; though her reports were routine, she seemed unusually calm. Something felt amiss.

"What's wrong?" Alexander asked, noticing her unease.

"Nothing," she said, shaking her head. "The lab has been relocated."

"Where to?" He didn't seem surprised.

Lily shook her head again. "I have no idea. They're still looking for a location. I..."

She was about to speak when her phone rang. She glanced at it, frowned, and said, "Let me take this."
