If Olivia, who had been by her side for years, reacted that way, Lily could not imagine how shocking this news would be to others.This proved that the relationship between her and Alexander could not be made public just yet."No!" Putting her hands on Oliviaโs shoulders, Lily said patiently, "Listen to me. You know very well what his status is like. If I made our relationship public, can you imagine the effects on my current situation? It's hard even for you to accept it, let alone other people. I wouldnโt be able to deal with that kind of publicity and gossip. Thereโd be no time and energy left for me to do what I want.""It's not that I canโt accept it. I just didnโt expectโฆ" Olivia quickly explained. How could she not accept it? She would be the first to be happy for Lily if it were true! "I understand, I understand! Still, not everyone thinks like you," Lily interrupted her, "With his status if this were made public, itโd be hard for the both of us. Before that, I want to wor

Lily did not answer because she saw a car parked not far away across the road. The car was incredibly attention-grabbing at this hour and on this part of the road. The carโs backdoor was wide open, and a tall man came out. He stood there for a while, then turned to walk toward Lily.โLily?โ Since Lily did not answer, Olivia called her name again. She followed Lilyโs line of sight and saw a man walking toward them. Olivia squinted to see the man getting closer. Even though it was late at night and the duo was under the dim street lamp, Olivia could still see the manโs figure and facial features.Olivia thought the situation resembled a masterfully crafted scene from a movie. The man was ordinary, but he seemed shining, and no one could take their eyes off him. Even if there was no introduction and Olivia had not met this person before, she could tell who this person was from Lilyโs reaction and the way the two were gazing at each other. โSo, it was you, after all,โ Lily said.She c

โHeโs Mr. Russellโs driver! Of course, Edward was the one who sent the things for his boss.โ It was no wonder Olivia mistook Edward for Lilyโs boyfriend.โThanks for sending me things just now, Edward,โ Lily said after entering the car. She had not seen Edward just now but knew she had to thank him for sending things so late at night.โYouโre welcome, Madam,โ Edward responded to Lily as he glanced at Olivia. Then he turned around and put his hands on the steering wheel."By the way, this is Olivia. Sheโs my assistant and best friend," Lily thought she should formally introduce the two, "Liv, this is Alex's assistant, Edward."Olivia nodded. She noticed Edward was facing forward without looking back, so she leaned over and patted his shoulder, saying, โIโm sorry!โEdward was taken aback and turned to look at her, "What?""I didnโt know who you were. I thought you were a mole who sneaked into the lab, so I was rude to you. I'm sorry!" Olivia had a carefree personality, and she was

Alexander took Lily by surprise, and the car happened to be taking a turn, so she stumbled into his arms.Olivia was stunned. She pretended she did not see anything as she held the door handle with one hand and covered her face with the other.Lilyโs face turned red, and she pushed Alexander gently to sit up straight, but he took the opportunity to hold her waist, letting her lean on his body. Alexander left no room for discussion."Is the new product a success?" Alexander asked calmly.Sure enough, this successfully diverted Lilyโs attention. She immediately became excited and said, "Yes! It's how I wanted exactly. It was even better than what I expected. Itโs perfect!""That calls for a celebration," Alexander added."Yes. We need to celebrate!" Thinking of this, Lily turned to look in Oliviaโs direction, "Liv, let's fix a date to have a good meal. Do you want to go to the Cantonese restaurant from last time? I remember you liked the food there.""Okay! Then letโs go to..." Be

Alexander still had a grim look, obviously heartbroken.Lily continued to appease him, "Of course, my success is all thanks to you. Your credit is the greatest. Youโre the unsung hero behind all of us! Itโs my greatest honor to have your support and help. Iโm so proud of you!"Alexander was quiet, and Olivia said nothing either. Edward let out a few coughs. Olivia wanted to applaud Lily for her incredible flattery skill if they were not in the same car as Alexander.Honestly, it was the first time she saw Lily like this. It wasn't like this when Lily was with Nathaniel. They communicated little; even if they did, it all revolved around work. Occasionally Nathaniel would say something nice. However, their interaction had never been so natural and pleasant. Olivia took a peek and saw that Alexanderโs grim face had changed entirely. Olivia suspected that he even blushed a little. โHuh, I never expected him to be shy.โ"Where did you learn how to bootlick?" He raised his hand and

Olivia was very aware this time. She immediately opened her mouth to refuse, โThatโs not necessary. I can manage!โLily was speechless.It was dark outside the car window, but it was apparent this was not the communityโs entrance. Opposite her was an alley, which did not look safe to cross.โEdward, you send her back. Send her right back to her front door,โ Alexander took the initiative to order as if he could sense Oliviaโs discomfort. โGo quick and come back right away.โโYes, sir,โ Edward replied.He stopped the car, undid the seat belt, and left. Olivia was flattered. โNo, no, itโs not necessary.โEdward had already walked around the car to her door and opened it. โMiss Hart, please.โThings were already at this stage, so there was no point in refusing. Thus she could only bite the bullet and leave the car. โT-Then Iโll leave first. Lily, you and Mr. Russell have a good rest.โโOkay.โ Lily nodded her head. After watching Olivia and Edward leave some distance away, she retur

Oliviaโs new place was not too far from the company, and the rental was incredibly cheap. The only downfall was that she had to cross that alley. She did not think it was a big problem; thus, she rented the place.Olivia turned around after stopping at the staircase. โIโm here. Thank you.โEdward stopped walking. โYouโre welcome.โโThatโฆโ Olivia scratched her head and revealed an embarrassed smile. โThey are still waiting, so I wonโt ask you to go up with me. Iโll treat you to some tea another day.โEdward opened his mouth and muttered two words, โNot necessary.โโAll right, goodbye.โ Olivia did not know what to say to a reply like that, so she waved her hand. She noticed he was still standing there and not moving, so she went up the stairs. At the stairs landing, she stopped and looked down, but Edward was still standing there. Olivia waved and said, โYou go ahead.โโOh.โ Although Edward said this, he remained rooted to the spot.Olivia had no choice, so she did not say more. S

Melanie panicked and stopped thinking for a moment. Although she was hesitant to accept the baby, she had never thought the baby might take the initiative to leave her instead. She had the power to decide all along. However, this matter had gotten out of her control.She returned to her senses after hearing some noises outside. She decided to put the matter aside and quickly opened the showerโs faucet to wash the blood stains off the ground and rinsed herself.She wiped herself dry and observed that there were no more blood stains. She felt relieved. Since that had happened, Melanie dared not stay there any longer. She hurriedly exited the bathroom and got dressed. She could not wait to leave that place.Frank heard her and noticed she was about to open the room door. He looked at Melanie and frowned, โDid I say you could leave?โโIโm sorry, Frank. I have an urgent matter to tend to right now.โ Melanie explained in a hurry.โOf course, you can leave, but what about your promise?โ

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
