Overjoyed, Hannah became worked up. โYou could tell itโs me? You recognize me?โ Ralph was puzzled as she sounded and looked happy. โHow come she seems pleased that I told her she is not Heather?โ He thought about it for a moment and grew less scared. He cocked his head as he looked at her. โSo itโs true that youโre not Heather? Who are you then?โHannah did not answer straight away and laughed instead. โI told you before. Take a guess!โโYou told me before?โ Ralph was further bewildered. โWhen did she tell me who she is?โHowever, Hannah only looked at him smilingly. Unable to remember when she told him that, he saw the necklace on her neck and suddenly recalled that she said her name was Annie when she was leaving the Russell Estate. His eyes twinkled with realization. โYouโre Annie?โHannah almost burst out crying and nodded vigorously. โYes, itโs me! Itโs me!โRalph was glad he was right and laughed but soon felt something was amiss. He only knew her name was Annie, but he

โItโs no wonder they look so alike!โ Ralph understood better now but grew puzzled at the same time. โWhy do you want to imitate her? Just because you look like her?โThe glow in Hannahโs eyes dimmed as she said softly, โBecause I want to live.โโTo live?โโYes.โ She nodded and lowered her gaze. โThereโs a curse among the Riggs family for generations. We can lead a peaceful life if we give birth to a single child. However, there will be disasters if there is more than one. No matter how many children there are, only one will survive in the end, that is, if any survive.โโTherefore, since weโre twins, only me or my sister can live.โRalph was wide-eyed and said, despite himself, โWhat kind of b*llshit curse is that?โHannah did not retort or nod her head. She also felt the curse was โb*llshit and had not believed it either. However, her parents believed it wholeheartedly because her motherโs siblings died, and the woman was the only child who managed to lead a peaceful life. Her

Hannah shuddered but did not shrink away and only shut her eyes nervously. She had not kissed him since, and although she dreamed about him kissing her, the moment she woke up, she would find herself back inside the dark basement.Ralph taught her what kissing was all about and what falling in love was like. He showed her how wonderful life was outside the island and that she could still be herself without becoming someoneโs substitute.Their warm lips met, serving to comfort each other. Ralph kissed her lightly and tentatively before he let himself go and slightly bit her lips. The slight pain was timely, reminding her that all this was real and not a dream.Hannah wrapped her arms around his back, holding him close as they became short of breath. Ralph slowly lay down, bringing her along. Then he rolled over and got on top of her. Gazing down, he saw her misty eyes and glistening lips. โHeather could never have shown such a sensual and amorous look!โโAnnie, oh my Annie!โ He mu

โWhat plan?โ Ralph was curious. โI canโt tell you yet, but Iโll let you know when I succeed,โ Hannah said softly, seeing his somewhat shocked expression, "Itโs not that I want to hide it from you, but Iโm not sure if itโll work. Anyway, for our future, I have to take the risk!โAt the mention of โour future," Ralph felt touched and held her dainty hand as he said softly, โYou saw what happened at the Russell Estate yesterday. I might have nothing left, and people would mock and look down on me. Are you sure youโre willing to be with me now?โโYes, I am!โ She buried herself into his chest and said gently, โThose people know nothing about you. What do they know? Theyโre clueless about your ambitions. Youโve tried hard and are unlucky because your mom didnโt help you. Itโs not your fault but theirs!โGrowing up in such an environment, Hannah had a twisted worldview and thought everything was unfair. โIf parents could kill their children for a baseless curse, why should we care abou

After quite some time, Ralph let her go and said, โAnnie, Iโll be waiting for you.โThis moved her more than anything. Hannah looked at him affectionately. โOkay.โShe could not bear to leave, but she had no choice since Heather was obhousekeeper. If Hannah did not do everything she wanted, the woman would not give Hannah the freedom to leave her sight. If she wasnโt careful enough and Heather deiscovered what she was doing, everything she had planned would fail. She told herself to be patient for the plan to succeed. โIโll be free when it happens!โAfter ensuring her face was well covered, she took out a mirror and checked her reflection when she went downstairs. Seeing her lips slightly swollen, she knew Heather might suspect something was wrong. After some thought, she neared a roadside garden plot and stared at the concrete edge along it before she clenched her teeth and slammed her lips onto it. Jammed between her teeth by the blunt edge, her lips hurt so much that she she

โTwo days?โ Not expecting to have slept for so long, she was taken aback for a moment and wondered what happened after she fainted. โAlexโฆโโHeโs downstairs and hasnโt left home yet. Would you like to see him? Iโll go and get him.โโThereโs no hurry,โ Margaret said. โI must have troubled you for the past two days.โLily shook her head. โNo trouble at all. Itโs Aunt Celine who's been taking care of you.โโAh, Celineโฆโ Letting out a sigh, Margaret gazed ahead into space while still holding her hand. โDo youโฆโ She hesitated but could not bear to finish the question. It was getting awkward. She wanted to get someone to announce that Margaret had awoken and to prepare her some food, but the older woman did not let go of her hand. Even worse, Lily felt she should talk to her but was afraid she would say something to enrage her. After a while, Margaret diverted her gaze back to Lily. Her lips moved as she wanted to say something, but she hesitated. However, even if she had not s

Alexander went upstairs, entered the bedroom, and saw Margaret sitting on the bed, looking quite well. However, as she had slept through two days and was only on the IV drip, she was still feeble. โGrandma.โ He entered. โAre you feeling better?โAlexander maintained a distance from Margaret as he stood at the bedโs end. He was close enough to see how she was doing, yet not too close. He had always kept a politely distant attitude toward her.Margaret gazed sincerely at him, her only grandson. She had given birth to many children who died, and her favorite son was not related to her by blood. It was as if God had pulled a terrible prank on her.She sized up Alexander, who had his motherโs eyes and eyebrows, and his fatherโs mouth and nose. โEven his dignified manner takes after his grandfather!โHow could I even suspect that heโs not a child of the Russell family? Why did I want to do the DNA test? If I hadnโt done it, I wouldnโt have discovered that Ralph isnโt my child, and I co

Although they were not blood-related, Margaret had raised Ralph as her own for many years, so it was difficult for her to cut him loose.โGrandma, itโs not up to me but him. He still hasnโt thought it through and refused to return home. Letโs discuss it when he does, okay?โ He added, โItโs time for me to go to the office. Have a good rest, Grandma.โLily came in, bringing the food as he was about to leave.โPlease take care of her.โ He said and left.Lily did not hear what they were talking about but could have guessed it. โGrandma, you must be hungry. Have some garlic bread and mushroom cream soup, but eat slowly.โLily sat by the bed with the tray on her lap, dipped the bread into the soup, and offered it to Margaret.Margaret wanted to take the whole plate instead. โItโs okay. Youโre pregnant. You donโt have to serve me.โโLet me do it. Iโm still early in my pregnancy, so donโt worry.โ Lily said with a chuckle. โStop insisting. Iโll laze around when you feel better, okay?โM

Lily tilted her head up to fight back her tears, saying, โThereโs something I find strange.โโWhat is it?โ Mike asked after comforting his son.โInstead of detaining Prince Ross, Her Majesty has sent him back to Yudonia. If so, why couldnโt we reach him?โAfter some thought, Mike answered, โThere are two possibilities. Itโs probably due to poor signals, or he doesnโt want us to contact him.โThe two shared a look, knowing what each other was wondering.โWhy canโt we contact Ross? Is he planning something?โโฆThree days later, Lily inserted the last needle into the queenโs leg and looked up at her, saying, โYou should start feeling your legs tomorrow. Still, itโll take some time before you can stand.โSuddenly, Lily chuckled.โWhy are you laughing?โ Yasmin touched her legs. She had begun to regain sensation in her legs over the last two days. She then began to believe that she could get up. However, the queen was hesitant when the queen heard Lily chuckle.Lily shook her head

Lily straightened up and said without resentment, โOf course, you wouldnโt.โโThatโsโฆ quite a pity,โ the queen murmured thoughtfully.โWell, thereโs a price to pay for everything. Thatโs how the world balances itself,โ Lily continued, โI canโt stop you if you must carry on with R10. Still, I wonโt witness whether or not it succeeds. I just wish the outcome isnโt something youโll regret.โLily smiled and turned to head out the door.Rick heard their conversation as he stood guard outside. After exchanging looks with Lily as she brushed past him, he entered the room and saw the needles in Yasminโs legs. โYour Majesty, those needlesโโThe queen waved dismissively. โItโs okay. Lily will remove them later.โEven so, Rick was wary. โYouโre being too careless, Your Majesty. What if that womanโโโShe wouldnโt,โ Yasmin interjected, shaking her head."Why do you trust her so much?" Rick asked despite himself. The queen fell silent. If Rick had not asked her that, she would not have rea

Lily took out a cloth and unfolded it, revealing a row of silver needles inside. Yasmin was surprised she carried the needles with her.โTell me. What do you want?โ The queen took a deep breath to calm herself. She then reminded herself that she could always say no to Lilyโs request. Still, Yasmin was cautious about Lily trying to trick her.Lily casually said, "I left because Prince Ross wanted to help me. I hope you donโt punish him.""That's it?" Yasmin thought she had misheard Lily. 'Is she trying to talk terms with me just so that I won't punish my son?' she wondered in disbelief."Ross is my son. I won't harm him. Don't you think you've wasted an opportunity by making such a request?" The queen shook her head. "I wasnโt sure if youโd blame him, but he did rescue me once. If I don't do anything, it would be ungrateful of me," Lily said gently, "Also, didnโt you already lock him up?"Yasmin was puzzled. "No, I only sent him back to Yudonia. He kept trying to get me to sto

"Three days," Lily replied.โThatโs it?!โ Yasmin was in disbelief. She thought Lily would try to buy some more time and suspected she would say the process would take several months or even years.โI havenโt felt my legs for over a decade. I wouldnโt mind waiting for three more days.โโAre you sure I can get up and walk in just three days?โ Yasmin pressed her legs hard but felt nothing. She would have treated her legs long ago if it were that easy.The queen had visited many famous doctors from various countries, but they could only stop her legs from getting weaker. However, Lily confidently told Yasmin that she could fix her legs so quickly.Yasmin wanted to believe it.After some consideration, Lily said, โI canโt guarantee that youโll walk as fast as you once could. After all, you havenโt used your legs for a long time, and your muscles have atrophied. Still, youโll recover slowly.โYasmin nodded repeatedly, thinking it was good enough. She never dreamed of walking as well a

โBecause only our opinions matter." Lily thought of something and said, "Unless you choose to believe Rhea.""Iโฆ don't trust anyone." Yasminโs expression stiffened as she turned her wheelchair away."Your Majesty, I know you're dedicated to the experiment, but there are other things in life. Have you ever considered letting go of your burden to sightsee? Youโve done enough as a queen over the last few decades. Arenโt you tired of living a lonely life?โLily gently spoke as she gazed at Yasminโs back.The older woman caressed her knees with both hands and stared down at her legs, murmuring, โSightsee, huh? Iโve forgotten what thatโs like.โYasmin had not used her legs for many years. Initially, she could still stand up and sometimes took a few steps. However, she could no longer get to her feet.She had grown accustomed to sitting in a wheelchair, but she felt a pang of sorrow after hearing Lilyโs suggestion.Lily asked, โWhat if I can help you stand again? What if you can walk a

"Yes, I returned not just for him but also for you," Lily said, "I'm sure you were anxious for my return, weren't you?"Yasmin scoffed dismissively. "Why would I be? I have my bargaining chip. Besides, did you honestly think I couldnโt bring you back?""Bargaining chip? Do you mean Nick?" Lily shook her head with a smile. "Don't forget that he's not my son. Do you think he'll be much of a bargaining chip to you if I choose to ignore him for my three children?"She did not wait for Yasmin to reply and continued, "Besides, Nick still has a father whoโs willing to die for him. If Mike decides to take drastic action against youโ Yes, you're a queen, and you don't care much about an insignificant businessman.โHowever, don't forget that his business spans worldwide. There's no guarantee what he might do. Who knows, he might spread information that can affect Your Majesty and Yudonia's reputation?""Youโฆ" The queen was exasperated but could not retort.Lily noticed it and casually said

Rick could only remain silent at that moment.Yasmin then turned her wheelchair around and blandly said, โBring Lily over. Iโd like to see what excuses that sly woman can come up with.โ"Your Majesty?" Rick was puzzled. "You know she'll just lie to you. Why must youโ"Yasmin interjected, "I'd like to hear what she has to say."Rick had no choice but to leave and do as she said.As Lily was about to doze off, she heard noises from outside and opened her eyes. Immediately after, the door opened, and Rick appeared. He glared at her and spoke coldly, โHer Majesty wants to see you.โLily glanced at Rick calmly and stood up as if she had expected his appearance. On the other hand, Mike rose before her and headed out.However, Rick stopped him as he reached the door. โYou stay.โ"But we came together!" Mike glanced over his shoulder at Lily, signaling her to persuade the man. Rick added, "The queen doesnโt wish to see you. Just stay here!"Lily patted Mike's shoulder and said gentl

Everyone was shocked when Lily returned to the embassy with Mike. One of the staff members quickly left to report the news to Queen Yasmin.Meanwhile, Lily saw people peering at her and Mike from the corner. Afterward, several guarded-looking men appeared. Lilt recognized them as the queenโs attendants. They brought Mike and Lily inside and then gave the duo a thorough search.The men only relaxed after finding nothing suspicious about the duo. Even so, Lily could not see the queen as the men told her to wait in an innermost room instead.After returning to the embassy, Lily felt a sense of strange familiarity. Although she knew the place well, her mindset had changed.She previously hated the embassy and simply wanted to escape. However, she had returned with a critical mission. Not only did she have to complete it, but she also needed to leave the place in one piece.While she was calm, Mike was somewhat anxious. He clasped his hands on his knees and glanced around as he sat dow

"I promise I'll do anything you want, okay?" Mike begged. He was desperate to see his son, so he decided to follow Lily when she insisted on returning to the embassy.Mike continued, โIf any of you go with her, they might stop or suspect you. They wonโt do that to me. Itโs natural for me to want to see and rescue my son. Iโm the best candidate because it makes sense for me to sacrifice myself for him.โAfter a short silence, Lily said, โYouโre right.โ She then looked at Alexander, who pondered before slowly raising his head and saying, โMe too.โDominic tapped the table. "So do I."Cameron thought for a moment before saying, "I've no objections."Seeing this, Austin spread his arms and said, "Since you all agree, what else can I say? Let's do it!"It did not matter whether or not he agreed, but he just wanted to support Mike. The latter nodded and became emotional, saying, โThanks, you guys!โ"Why are you thanking us?
