โI said nothing yet,โ Mike said, stunned.โSave it then! Iโm pretty sure itโs not a good plan. Plus, why must we cooperate with you?โ Alexander was tense and questioned hostilely, โYouโve long lost your credibility here. Why would we cooperate with someone we canโt trust?โโItโs different this time aroundโฆโ Mike did not expect to get rejected by Alexander before he even told them his plan. For a moment, he did not know how to continue the conversation. โIโll think of a way to save your son, but thatโs it. Mike, our relationship as business partners ends here!โ Alexander got up and extended his arm toward Lily to help her stand. He seemed to have no intention of staying on the topic any longer.However, Lily did not get up. She just looked at Alexanderโs extended arm before again averting her gaze to Mike. โWhat is it? Iโm interested to know.โAlexander was speechless for a moment. โYouโre wasting your time listening to his nonsense!โ Alexander bent over, wanting to pull Lily to

Alexanderโs frown deepened as he watched Mike. He held Lilyโs hand tightly and said, โLetโs go!โHe did not want to listen anymore. He feared he might get convinced if he stayed a second longer. He knew the situation's pros and cons and that they had no choice. He understood that they could settle this matter quickly if Lily pretended to cooperate with them.Then they could investigate the organization's roots and crush them completely. However, Alexander could not allow Lily to risk her life.He would be willing to try it if it were him or someone else tasked to be a spy. But he would not allow Lily to get involved.She was the most important and loved woman to him. He would not risk her life, even if there were only a one in a billion chance she would get hurt. If something happened to her, he would not be able to take it.Still, he did not manage to get Lily up to her feet. She was still sitting on the couch, looking in Mikeโs direction. Calmly, she asked, โWhat do you need me

Lily wanted to move away after seeing Alexander calm down, but as soon as she tried, a hand suddenly grabbed her waist and pulled her forward. Alexander lowered his head and deepened their kiss in this position.He initially wanted a taste but was addicted to it now. It had been a long time since they last kissed each other so passionately. It was not like he wanted to put on a live show for Mike, but since Lily chose this method to shut him up, he believed she should do her best at it. After all, Alexander could never be satisfied with just a light kiss.โSince she started this, she should know she canโt stop so easily.โAlexander kept deepening their kiss, which was as hot as a blazing fire. Lily would be unable to take it if this went on longer. Fortunately, his hand supported her back, which she felt would have broken by now if otherwise.He just held her in his arms and tasted her lips while Lily touched his chest to create a distance between them. However, there was a vast di

That made Mike speechless. A promise was something abstract and vague. Even if Mike were to guarantee it with his life, it would be unable to reverse any damage if Alexander took Mikeโs life should anything happen to Lily.A moment of hesitation later, Lily, in Alexanderโs arms, said, โThen, what if Iโm the one to promise you that?โAlexander and Mike were stunned.Alexander lowered his head and looked at Lily. She raised her head slightly to meet his gaze, a faint smile on her face. โI promise Iโll take good care of myself. Iโll stop if I immediately sense any danger or if something feels off. Iโll prioritize my and our babyโs safety at all times. What about that?โLily even raised her hand to swear on her words. She appeared to be serious about it.Alexander did not know what to say for a moment. If it were anyone else, he would have many things to retort to them. However, it was Lily who would always make him feel helpless. She knew this clearly and took advantage of it as well

Alexanderโs hand, which was holding onto Lilyโs arm, tightened. He did not want Lily to endanger her life. If he could replace Lily and take the risk for her now, he would do it without any hesitation, but it was her the organization needed.โTheyโre eager for me to join them because they believe I can blend the medicinal herbs and fragrances perfectly together to achieve what they want. Thatโs not difficult as Iโve succeeded several times before.โAlso, I know how to protect myself. Since they still need me, they wonโt hurt me. You can rest assured Iโll be fine, at least during the period when they need me.โ Lily was still trying to convince Alexander.She could have disregarded his opinions and done whatever she wanted, but she understood where he was coming from. He loved her, so he cared so much about her safety. He was just as worried as she was when his situation was uncertain back in Burnwken. She was emphatic because she understood his feelings exactly.โWhat will happen

Alexander had to admit that Lily mastered the skills of persuasion better than he did. No matter how worried or anxious he was, he gave in after listening to her well-reasoned explanation and analysis of the situation.He did, however, want her to stay in touch with him at all times, and she had to give up immediately if she sensed any danger, as her safety had to be her top priority.As for Mike, he promised to keep her safe to the best of his abilities. The three had reached an agreement before going their separate ways. Alexander and Lily had their respective concerns, so they said nothing to each other on the way home, their brows locked the entire journey. When they arrived home, Lily was stunned when she noticed Olivia standing at the door. Olivia did not inform Lily that she was coming, nor did she wait inside the house. Instead, she just stood outside and waited for Lily to return. The car was nearby, so Olivia probably noticed they had returned and strode in their direct

Regardless of the reason, be it some kind of drug was controlling Edward or that he was just putting on a show, there was no need for him to get a divorce. It was not like he had a change of heart or found another lover.Sure, he had fallen out with Alexander and Lily, but Olivia had always been loyal to him. There was no need for him to treat Olivia this way. Moreover, Olivia was now pregnant. It was too heartless of Edward to treat her this way.โDid you ask him why? Whatโs with the sudden decision? Werenโt you both just fine yesterday?โ Lily frowned, trying to figure out a reason for Edwardโs behavior.Olivia nodded fervently. โYeah, we were fine yesterday. He went out late at night, and I pretended I didnโt notice. Iโm always putting on a good act, so he probably hasnโt realized it yet. Still, he wants to get a divorce. I cried and begged him to stay. I even yelled at him, asking him why. Other than insisting on the divorce, he said nothing else. IโฆโShe trailed off, unable to

Olivia did not feel like drinking the milk. However, she knew Lily would not continue if she did not calm down and drink the milk. Ultimately, Olivia took the glass and sipped it.Knowing how Olivia felt, Lily held her hand and looked into her eyes, saying, โOf course, it wasnโt my experiment, but I once took part in it. Thatโs why I know something.โโYou once took part in it?โ Olivia looked at Lily doubtfully with a frown, then suddenly remembered. โYouโre talking about the research institute? B-But isnโt that place abandoned now? I heard its personnel disbanded, and the experiment had completely failed.โโIt didnโt fail but has gone underground. These people havenโt given up, and their actions have a broad impact. I canโt tell you in detail, but I can tell you that there is such an experiment, and they have indeed come up with many strange drugs.โIโm unsure if Edward has been under one of the drugsโ influence, but his shift in personality likely has something to do with the orga

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
