โThen take proper safety measures, okay? The pandemic is the real deal. I think a virus might have caused it.โ Dominic thought for a moment and spoke.โYes, I think so too.โ Nodding, Lily agreed. โAlso, I think it has something to do with the experiment in the lab.โโThe lab you worked in?โ Taken aback, Dominic thought about the question he had put aside just now. โOh, yes, you donโt think that brat, Austin, is the person behind it, do you?โHe suddenly thought that Austin might be the culprit as he was messing with those plants in the laboratory.Lily chuckled and palmed her head, shaking it. โNo! Heโs not up to the task. More accurately, I think he doesnโt know about it.โโAs I expected!โ Dominic sighed in relief and also felt that his suspicion was ludicrous.โI know how capable Austin is. If he could truly create a virus so devastating to the world, I would have to hand it to him.โโThen what happened to him?โ Dominic sighed in relief again, thinking it must not be anything

โOld man!โ She called him solemnly out of the blue. โThis is important! Do you really want your only grandnephew to have been murdered?โLike a little boy who got scolded, Dominic pouted. He was worried but had only talked tough. โAll right then.โ He mumbled, โWhat kind of lousy research institute would do such a horrible thing?โLily thought the same. If she knew the research institute would be up to no good, she would not have joined in the first place.โHowever, when I backed out, the experiment did not stop. It shows that the project is not as simple as I initially thought.โโI think the research institute is just a local base. They should be operating in more than one place,โ Lily said thoughtfully.โWhat?!โ Dominic was shocked.โThereโs strict law enforcement in our country. Although the lab has something to do with the pandemic, I suspect the virus might not have been leaked from here. Of course, itโs just something that I suspect, and Iโve asked someone to investigate.

There was anxiety in Mikeโs eyes as he looked up. โDonโt you lay a finger on him! You promised me that as long as I cooperated, you wouldnโt harm him.โโBut if you donโt behave, donโt blame us, okay?โ The man stood up. He was unusually short and looked like he had slid down from his chair.He neared Mike, and when he half-knelt in front of him, they were of the same height and eye level. This contrasted greatly with his voice and look ,he was like an underdeveloped child.โMike, donโt think Iโm unaware of what youโre thinking. Do you think the Russell family could save your son?โ His voice was dismissive, and his cunning eyes behind the mask were unfathomable. โI know they canโt, and I canโt either. Iโve always obeyed your instructions. I only did it for the sake of the organization.โ Catching his breath, Mike said as he endured the pain in his stomach.โOh?โโYou guys might have underestimated Lily. Sheโs not just a perfumer and an ordinary pharmacist because she has the backup

When Cameron returned home to pick up his things, he saw a car parked sideways beside the gate and frowned.Fabian exited his car and jogged over as his car drew near, flashing his signature obedient grin. โRon, RonโฆโAlthough Cameron was impatient, he still lowered the car window. โWhatโs the matter?โโIโm sorry for what happened to Tasia. Thatโs Reeโs fault, and Iโve already scolded her! I wanted her to come and apologize to Tasia, but she has been busy the past two days and couldnโt make it today. Anyway, donโt worry. Iโll teach her a harsh lesson. Is Tasia all right?โ Fabian asked.โSheโs fine.โ Cameron was cold to him. โAnything else?โSince he had asked, Fabian eagerly said, โAbout the vaccine development centerโฆโโI only discuss work in my office,โ he said quickly, not wanting to discuss the subject.โI know, but I canโt go to your office either! Iโve been stopped a few times when I tried to see you there. Ron, donโt do this to me. Iโm your wifeโs only brother!โ Bending o

โWhy should I shut up? Oh, now that my sister passed away, you think you can mistreat her family, donโt you? Iโm my sisterโs only brother, and you promised her to take care of me. Is this how youโre doing it?โCameron, youโre incorruptible, my a*s! Youโre no different than those vile officials. I knowโฆ Youโve found yourself a wife and forgotten about my sister and how she lost her life to give birth to your daughter. To think my sister treated you so well! She should have seen through yourโฆโโFabian!โ Cameronโs roar shocked Fabian till he choked on his words. He stared at Cameron without a word.โStop your nonsense! Iโm warning you, if you say one more word, Iโll have you arrested. They did everything about the vaccine development center according to legal procedures. If youโre upset, conduct your investigation or sue me.โDonโt harass me here!โ Cameron reprimanded Fabian. โDonโt always overstep your boundaries in your sisterโs name. I know how much youโve cashed in on my name over

Three seconds later, Fabian said indignantly, โI indeed have no f*cking proof!โHe thought about it and got angrier. โIโve been so close to Cameron for so many years, yet Iโve failed to gain any shred of evidence I can threaten him with. All I can do is suck up to him nonstop.โAnyway, after so many years, he should somewhat appreciate my effort. Even if I were just a dog, he should have thrown me with a bone, shouldnโt he? He just enjoys pretending to be someone just and impartial!โโSo what did he say? Didnโt he promise you? Did he take money from the Russell family?โ Maria asked carefully.โHow would I know?โ Fabian said impatiently, kicked off the stool beside him, then sat on the sofa. Remembering something with a frown, he looked up and asked, โWhereโs Rhea?โโShe returned to the lab.โ Maria spread her arms and looked curious. โWhy? Is it because she shoved Tasia? If itโs because of that, Iโll apologize to Tasia!โโNot that!โ Fabian waved and calmed down, then started to th

โHow can there be anything weโre unaware of? You know what your daughter is like. Sheโs just a nerd, and unlike other girls, all she does is read books, study, and conduct her experiments.โI think Cameron is just trying to fool you.โ Maria was so protective of her daughter that she did not think anything could be wrong with her.The truth was that Fabian did not get it either. Although his wife was biased, she was right that the chance of Rhea interacting with Cameron was meager as she hardly even hung out with Anastasia.โThese two didnโt enjoy playing together when they were young and hardly met one another, leading their own lives as grownups. How could Ree possibly offend Ron?โMaria noticed how quiet Fabian was and asked, despite herself, โSo the project has gone up in smoke?โFabian looked gloomy when his wife mentioned that. โItโs a done deal. What can I do about it? I couldnโt possibly take the project from the Russell family by force. It wouldnโt work.โโThen what shoul

When Mike left the office, he glanced over his shoulder and saw that Rhea was not leaving. He could not say much because the masked man said nothing. Feeling the inside of his mouth with the tip of his tongue, a bloody taste assaulted his throat as he left quietly.After he was gone, Rhea took a step forward. โSir, are you truly going to let him off just like that? You know Mike is disloyal and heโs not doing this for the organizationโฆโโIf heโs not, what about you?โ Staring at her coldly, there was mistrust in his eyes.Rhea pursed her lips. โAt least I share the same goal and direction with you, sir. My mind is fully on the research. Itโs a great research project that could change the world, and I would be responsible for its result. Like you, I look forward to it!โโOh, yeah?โ Letting out a laugh, he suddenly asked, โThen have you found that thing inside your pen holder?โStunned, Rhea did not expect him to know about it as it was a personal matter. But after giving it some tho

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?
