Dominic was slack-jawed as well. He saw the child looking over at him and quickly gave him a thumbs-up. โYouโre amazing!โThe boy grinned and puffed out his chest after Dominic praised him.Lily cocked her head and studied the lock. She was not good at this and could not understand the mechanism behind it. She had seen it on TV before, and there was an online urban legend that someone could open all the neighborhood doors with a single strand of instant noodle.However, seeing her young son open the showcase lock with a thin cable from some toy was rather shocking.โWho taught you that? She looked toward Galen, wanting to know where he had learned such a thing.โDee-Dee!โ Galen answered thoughtfully.โWhoโs Dee-Dee?โ The older man looked puzzled.โDaisy?โ Lily asked after some thought, โAunt Daisy?โโYes!โ Galen said, nodding sharply, โI learned it myself!โHis contradictory remarks puzzled Dominic. โSo you learned it yourself, or did Aunt Dee-Dee teach you?โโHmmโฆโ Galen kni

However, Dominic had not interfered with matters of the outside world for a long time, and Lily did not want to involve him. Living as a carefree recluse was nice, and he should be enjoying his life in old age.Therefore, Lily did not say anything in the end and left with Galen in a hurry, bringing the herbs she had collected. Reaching home, she saw everything was as usual, but her mind was not at rest.She had always thought their house was safe, as she and Alexander had carefully installed various surveillance and safety devices all over the place, and her housekeepers underwent a rigorous selection process.Still, even a palace could not ensure it was 100% safe, let alone an ordinary home like hers.โGalen, youโre back!โ Daisy, the nanny, came to welcome them warmly. She wore ordinary loungewear and looked pleasant, with her hair pulled into a bun.Barely over 30, she was relatively young, and her skin was so well taken care of that she looked like someone in her 20s. Even thou

Lily did not find out when Galen had learned to pick a lock from the woman, but she knew her son was not lying. He was too young to even think about doing so and did not need to. โDaisy, oh, Daisy, just what are you up to?โโฆRhea Moore returned home from the laboratory at 5 a.m.She opened the door and went upstairs, seeing no one except the maids in the quiet house. Just as she got to the second floor, Maria, who had woken up in hunger and left her room to eat something, was surprised to see her. โRee?โPuzzled, Rhea turned around with a slight frown. Rubbing her eyes, Maria saw it was Rhea and grew excited. โRee, youโre home! Why didnโt you tell me about it? Youโre back so earlyโno, youโre back so late!โMaria could tell she had just returned home by what she was wearing. Feeling sorry for her, she placed one hand on her arm and tried to touch her face with the other. โPoor thing. Look at your dark circles.โCocking her head to dodge her hand in irritation, Rhea said, โI

Rhea placed the wooden case on the desk, thought for a moment, then brought the pen holder to the front. Turning around, she took two steps away, then returned to put the wooden case inside the pen holder. She took out several pens and pencils, fit them nicely inside, and let out a slight sigh of relief. She took her clothes and a towel, then went to take a hot bath in the bathroom, as she had not been home for many days. Although there were bathrooms and restrooms at the research institute, she could not take a nice bath there as they were not well-equipped. Lying in the bathtub, she felt her overworked mind and body start to relax, and she grew sleepy. After some time, Rhea jerked awake and was shocked to realize she had fallen asleep in the bathtub and there were footsteps outside. Her brain grew sharp immediately, and she quickly rose from the bathtub. Putting on a bathrobe, she neared the door and heard the footsteps stop outside, not far away. She suddenly pulled the door

โRee, what are you talking about? I told you I was just trying to please Tasia and why. If it werenโt for your uncle, our familyโโโIf it werenโt for Cameron Rollins, we would still be living in poverty and hunger?โ Rhea said impatiently and picked her ear. โI donโt want to listen to these things. Iโve heard them enough. If you want to curry his favor and live off him, thatโs your business. I, Rhea Moore, donโt need him!โโRee, you shouldnโt say that.โ Maria wanted to say something else, but seeing Rheaโs impatient expression, she gave up. โOkay, Iโll stop talking! Still, youโve grown up and should understand why I did it, shouldnโt you? Stop acting like a child.โShe spoke soothingly, trying hard to patch things up with her daughter.Rhea pulled a long face and did not reply. She sat at the desk and touched the pen holder gently and thoughtfully.Maria felt gloomy and helpless looking at Rhea. She did not know how to communicate or bond with her daughter.โRee, youโve been so bu

Maria noticed her daughterโs disdainful tone and hurriedly said, โRee, you have no idea because you werenโt there. The miracle doctor is amazing. Out of so many doctors, only he knew that Tasia had gotten poisoned and her obesity had an uncommon cause. Besides, after taking his prescription, I can see that sheโs getting better.โโOh, yeah? How is she better?โ Rhea smirked, but no one could tell if she was smiling.Maria thought her daughterโs reaction was weird but did not think much about it. As Rhea rarely showed concern for Anastasia and was willing to talk more, Maria started to babble on the topic, โShe looks slimmer, but a fatty can quickly lose weight anyway, and thereโs no telling how much she would eventually lose.โHowever, Tasia has been in good spirits. She used to look sick whenever I talked to her, but not anymore. Anyway, I now feel strange going to your uncleโs house. Every time I step through the gate, I feel like Iโve entered the wrong house.โI havenโt gotten use

Rhea knew what her mother was like and repeated to emphasize her point, โI genuinely donโt want them anymore, so donโt bring them back, okay? If you do, Iโll throw them away, believe it or not!โโOkay! Okay!โ Maria nodded repeatedly and believed that her headstrong daughter would do such a thing.โIf you donโt want them, then so be it. Thereโs no need to get so riled up, is there?โRhea took out a hand cream, squeezed some onto the back of her hands, rubbed them together, and slowly spread the cream while asking, โSo youโre saying Lily Russell has taken all plants away?โโI guess so. I can only say that itโs hard to see even a strand of grass at your uncleโs house since Tasia has moved all the plants away. Now I think the house looks empty and cold without them.โ Maria hugged herself and made a show of shuddering to indicate that she was not used to the change.โHas Lily studied medicine before?โ Rhea asked thoughtfully. When she noticed Mariaโs puzzled look, she added, โDidnโt yo

Looking on as Anastasia gulped down the herbal soup, Lily handed her a napkin and took the empty bowl from her. โCan you handle the taste?โWiping the corners of her mouth, Anastasia nodded. โItโs not bad!โโNot bad?โ Lily frowned. โEven the smell was so pungent. How could she still think itโs not bad?โSeeing her doubtful look, Anastasia chuckled, then picked up a glass near her to take a sip of water and said, โIโve had God knows how many weird medicines that taste worse than this. The bitter ones were still acceptable, but some were truly disgusting. IโฆโPausing, she waved to indicate that she better stop or she would throw up.โYou ate them to lose weight?โ She could guess so, and Anastasia nodded.โWhat else? Anyway, I suffered a lot before this, and looking back, I wonder why I should waste my effort. I might as well eat normally and perhaps become a 650-pound fatty and stay that way. Who knows? At least I didnโt have to go through all that.โ She sighed. Although it happene

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?
