Lily soothingly spoke when she noticed Anastasiaโs anxious expression. After all, being too nervous would affect hormone secretions, which would not be suitable for Anastasiaโs treatment.Besides, Lily did not want Anastasia to regard herself as a patient. Anastasia would feel more relaxed if she did not see it as getting treatment.โO-Oh, okay.โ Nodding, Anastasia said, โBut my fatherโฆโโWeโll keep this from him for now.โ It was something Lily had wanted to tell Anastasia in the first place. โLet this be a surprise for him.โโA surprise?โโYes!โ Lily nodded assuringly and said, โIf you can adjust your condition and slowly become more spirited while slimming down a bit, wouldnโt it surprise him? He wouldnโt be disappointed if nothing happened, either, would he?โLily wished Anastasia could prepare herself mentally before she started working on improving her health.โAnastasia mustnโt worry too much about the results. She should be hopeful yet not overly so she wouldnโt be greatl

Surprised, Maria could hardly react. She blinked. โMrs. Russell? Which Mrs. Russell?โ โIโm not sure, and I only know itโs Mrs. Russell. Sheโs a friend of Anastasia, and she invited her over to her house.โ Knowing little, the housekeeper did not dare to say too much.โRussellโฆโMaria could not think of anyone, but Austin seemed to have an idea. โAre you talking about Lily Christian?โShe would be the only Russell in Kingsland capable of developing a friendship with a household like the Rollins. โMrs. Russellโฆ I would never forget about that woman! Itโs such a small world, isnโt it?โโYes, I think thatโs the name.โShe did not dare to ask much about Anastasiaโs personal affair, but she seemed to have heard that the womanโs maiden name was Christian.โDo you know her, Mr. Fike?โ Surprised that he guessed the name right away, Maria asked curiously.Clenching his teeth, Austin smiled coldly. โI donโt just know her!โMaria was puzzled. Standing at the doorway with him, she did

Slowing down, Anastasia chewed her food well and tasted flavors she had not tasted before. It was a marvelous and pleasant feeling.After lunch, Lily made a glass of prune juice for her and set it on the table. โDrink it slowly.โโCan I drink it?โ Frowning, she took in its mild scent.โDonโt you trust me?โ Lily asked her back.Anastasia nodded. It was because she trusted Lily that she had accepted her treatment and agreed to have a wonderful lunch with her. โI havenโt felt like this for a long time,โ Anastasia said with mixed emotions. She had suddenly found herself at peace with food today.It was not her enemy, and she did not have to fight it. She needed food, and the food was willing to satisfy her needs. Everything was perfect. She took a small sip of the prune juice and felt its sweetness permeating from the tip of her tongue.Closing her eyes, she felt as if many cute-looking plums were dancing on her tongue and let out a smile.A maid then entered the room from the out

Stunned, Lily did not expect that the two had come together. Since he was already inside, she was unable to reject him in front of her guests even though she had only instructed the maid to let Anastasia's aunt in. Lips curled, Lily looked at him and said, "Well, I never expected to be dogged by misfortune even at home. When one is unlucky, not even their own home is safe, is it?โThe moment they spoke, they were already exchanging hostile remarks. Although Maria had no idea what was happening between them, she could vaguely sense that the vibe was not right. She had thought at first that since Austin was acquainted with Mrs. Russell and knew where she lived, the woman should be a friend of some kind. However, when he told the maid his family name, and she returned to tell him that Lily did not want to see him, Maria thought otherwise. โNow that the two have met, they seem ready to quarrel. How bizarre!โShe looked at Austin, who was smiling despite his anger, then at the h

โWho is she to look down on me? What qualifications does she have for her to do that? However lousy I am, I should be able to stand tall in her presence regarding herbal medicine, shouldnโt I?โThus, Austin straightened his back. โYou have a problem with that?โLily chuckled coldly, having nothing to say.โYouโฆโ Austin flared up when he noticed her attitude toward him. His face grew stiff, and he forgot he had decided to have a friendly conversation with her on the way here.He wanted to ask about the data at the laboratory. No matter what, Lily had stayed longer than him in the laboratory and knew much more about the experiment than him. He thought he could get inspired from the past data and avoid going in the wrong direction.However, Austin did not expect Lily to infuriate him by saying so little and make him lose his cool. He said mockingly despite himself, โIt seems like Mrs. Russell does not trust me and perhaps knows a better candidate. In that case, Iโll get out of your w

Austin strode off, no longer putting on an act. Lily did not bother stopping him since she had not invited him and did not want to allow him into her home in the first place.Anastasia remained quiet when she noticed Lilyโs silence. โIf the house owner hasnโt asked him to stay, who am I to say anything?โMaria looked at them and the leaving man before she hurried after him. โMr. Fike? Mr. Fike! Miracle Doctor!โ She shouted when she realized he was not stopping.Austin suddenly stopped and spun around to look at Maria in rage. โDonโt call me โmiracle doctorโ ever again! If that woman is up to the task, why donโt you let her treat your niece?โHe walked off sternly, no longer paying any attention to Maria.Maria caught herself after two seconds and hurriedly gave chase. โMr. Fike, donโt let ignorant people upset you. It isnโt worth it. That Mrs. Russell is just a pampered woman who is out of touch with the world!โHow would she know how good you are? Sheโs just an ignorant hillbill

Lily lifted her gaze to Anastasia and smiled. โIโm not sure. Your aunt might know better since sheโs the one who hired him.โ Anastasia wanted to ask a few more questions, but Mariaโs shrill voice came from outside the door, โOf course I do!โ She strode in, looking upset.When she entered the door, she stared at Lily and said with a sigh, โMr. Fike is Dominic Fikeโs secret apprentice. Mrs. Russell, as someone who has married well and has good looks, you have no idea what my niece is going through. I took a lot of effort to bring the miracle doctor here, yet you made him leave in a fit!โLily chuckled. โMaโam, if I remember correctly, this happens to be my house. Do I need approval in deciding who to invite and who I donโt wish to see?โโI have yet to ask her why she brought someone else in without my permission, and she dares to question me instead!โโYouโฆโ Thinking she could not direct her anger at Lily, Maria decided to vent it on Anastasia. She took a few steps forward and seiz

Maria moved a few steps forward as she spoke and snatched up the half-empty glass of prune juice. โThis is the proof!โ She chuckled coldly when she noticed Lily raise her brow. โWhatโs wrong? You still wonโt admit it? Do you dare say that itโs not juice?โEven if you donโt know about Tasiaโs health condition, you shouldnโt have offered juice to someone so fat! Also, I know she mustโve had lunch here since she came in the morning. What did you feed her?โ Anastasia dared not say anything as she had eaten some meat. Although Lily told her she could eat them, she tried her best not to eat much and even felt guilty afterward. She suddenly felt overcome with guilt and felt like she had eaten poison after her aunt inquired about it. โI was entertaining my guest. Do I need to report to you?โ Lounging in her chair, Lily did not even lift her eyelids.โIf it werenโt for Tasiaโs sake, I wouldnโt allow this woman to be so rude! Who is she to make all sorts of accusations against me?โโYo

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? Just be careful, and donโt be rash like you promised," Aust
