However, Dominic still looked meager and tired, and his voice sounded softer. It was dry and hoarse. Alexander would have missed it if not for his heightened hearing. He squatted beside the older man again and inched closer to him. โHowโre you feeling?โDominic shook his head feebly before opening his mouth and choppily muttered, "Don'tโฆletโฆanyโฆout."Although he was not speaking in complete sentences, Alexander still understood his meaning."Is it very contagious?"The older man nodded but did not answer."Will I be infected?" Alexander wondered if he could escape this calamity. After the last plague almost killed him, he did not think he would face another disaster. Despite this, none of it mattered now.If Galen had gotten infected, Alexander's fear was redundant. He must stay by his son's side to accompany and care for him."Notโฆsure." The older man took a deep breath before raising his arms with great effort. "Look!"Before he could lift his arm to put it out of the tub, it

Alexander's eyes widened. Something was moving in Dominicโs veins, wriggling as it moved along. It was not a hallucination, as something was squirming in the older manโs veins.The hairs on Alexanderโs skin stood at the sight of this despite everything he had been through. "Old man, thatโsโฆ"If Dominic had not warned Alexander from touching him before this, he would have rushed forward to hold Dominic's arm."Symbiote!" Dominic slowly uttered the word and took another long breath. Then he glanced at his arm as if nothing was out of place and put it back into the water again. His arm plopped heavily into the water once again, making a splash. This time, Alexander was ready and leaned back."Three hoursโฆlaterโฆget Austinโฆthat bastardโฆhelp me up!" With that, Dominic fell silent again.Alexander, too, did not speak. He knew the older man must have exhausted all his strength at this moment. Although he seemed to have passed out, it was nothing severe.After taking a deep breath, Alexan

All of Austinโs initial attempts had failed, but he immediately succeeded when Mike gave him a plan. Then Mike made no more appearances after that.โWhy would he help if he didnโt have ulterior motives? Would he be so kind as to help Austin without hoping for anything in return?โ Alexander could not believe it.After pondering momentarily, he blurted, โMike?โAustin was stunned. โYou know him too?โA moment later, he added, โIt was him! He was the one who saved me! He told me how to escape the place and what I should do along the way. I shouldnโt have trusted him! If I knew this would happen, Iโd be better off in there!โAlexander felt conflicted upon hearing Austinโs words as he could not determine if Austin was telling the truth.โDid Mike really do this on purpose? Based on my understanding of Mike, he would think otherwise. However, his son is captive now, and he did not mention doing anything for Nick. Mike mightโve done that under the organizationโs immense pressure or thre

Galen was in stable condition. His fever had subdued, and there was nothing much different about the little boy.Alexander did not bring up the matter of the symbiote with Austin as he was still puzzled about it too. Moreover, Dominic might bring it up once he regained consciousness later, so Alexander was in no rush.He carried Galen back into the room and placed him on the bed. Then he removed Galenโs clothes before wrapping him up in a blanket. He lifted Galenโs sleeve subtly to check on his arms carefully. Then he also checked on Galenโs chest, back, and private parts. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief.Fortunately, he saw nothing like what Dominic had on his arm anywhere on Galen. He hoped Dominic was a special case and that nothing would happen to Galen. Even so, Alexander still felt uncomfortable about it.Recently, he only had little time to spend with Galen. He had placed Galen here under Dominicโs care for his safety, but he did not expect accidents to happen here too

โI do!โ Mike tightened his grip on his phone and tried hard to control his emotions.โMy men found Nickโs last known location. Heโs in Yudonia.โThat surprised Mike. โYudonia?โ A moment of hesitation later, he denied that possibility quickly. โThatโs impossible! My men have searched all over the world, including Yudonia. I have a lot of connections there too, and none of them had ever seen Nicky there.โIf he were there, I wouldโve known it instantly. Your news is wrong!โMike was disappointed. He thought he could finally find his son this time, but he immediately knew Alexander had received false news.Then again, if it were that easy, Mike would have found Nick by now. He would not have to wait for so long.โAre you sure?โ Alexander loosened his tie, helping himself to breathe better. He stared into the distance; the cloudy sky appeared endless to his eyes.Since Dominicโs manor was in the suburbs and on a vast land, Alexander could practically see everything from the balcony.

Since Alexander did not respond immediately, the gears in Mikeโs head started to turn. โAlex, Iโm guessing itโs the medicine the organization used in Austin.โAlexander regained his senses at the sound of a crucial point. โWhat medicine?โโThe virus,โ Mike sucked in a deep breath and corrected himself, his voice low, โThe organization created many versions of the virus, which Iโm sure youโre aware of. There are too many types, and I donโt know their specific purposes.โWhen Austin was here, they injected the medication, which is the virus, into his body. His body was inflating at a crazy rate. His muscles were so overgrown that I thought he would explode soon.โAlexander nodded as he listened to Mike speak. He knew all that, but all those were just things on the surface.โHe managed to get through it in the end, though. Later, I wanted to help him because he was an innocent person who was forcefully involved in this. I found a chance when we were moving to another place, so I let

โAre we going home already?โ Galen asked.Alexander shook his head. โNo, not yet. Iโll stay here with you.โGalen said nothing else and pursued his lips. As a child, his emotions were written clearly in his gaze.Seeing Galen troubled, especially when he was still young, hurt Alexander. He tucked Galen under the blanket and asked, โWhatโs wrong?โโGrandpa is sick.โ Galen looked like he was about to cry.Although Galen constantly bickered with Dominic, making the older man go crazy sometimes, the two had a close relationship. Dominic adored Galen very much, and Galen had treated Dominic as his family already.Alexander was moved and said softly, โYeah.โโIs he going to die?โ Galen asked again, his voice trembling.Galen seemed to have been waiting to ask this question for a long time. It was just that he was too young and did not know how to bring the matter up. He was also afraid of the topic.Alexander did not answer right away. Instead, he briefly thought before asking, โDo

Alexander was relieved when he noticed Galen had stopped crying. He touched his sonโs forehead and found it no longer hot. Then he got up and retook Galenโs temperature before asking, โDo you feel uncomfortable anywhere?โGalen shook his head lightly and said softly, "I'm a little hungry.""I'll get you something to eat." Alexander laughed. It was music to his ears that Galen felt hungry. After all, being hungry and having an appetite would help to replenish his energy.After waiting a few minutes, Alexander saw that the temperature on the thermometer was normal. It seemed like Galen was stable for now. "Lie here while I get you something to eat. You can't get out of bed and run around, okay?"Galen nodded obediently. "Can I visit Grandpa?"Alexander wagged his index at Galen and said, "No, Grandpa is sick and needs to rest. You can see him when he feels better, okay?"With the older man's situation still unknown, it was unclear how contagious the disease was. It was better to m

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
