โI heard you." Rhea held up her phone again and said blandly, "Come the day after tomorrow then.""The day after tomorrow? Why not tomorrow?" Mike said, "Don't you need it urgently?"Rhea grunted and said, "I do, but it's not that urgent. If you must come tomorrow, visit tomorrow night then."Mike asked, "Can't I come during the day?"Rhea lost her temper. "Don't push it, Mike! Do you still want to save your son or not?""Of course I do," Mike murmured, "Don't get upset. I'll deliver it tomorrow night then. Is that okay?"Calming down a little, Rhea grunted a yes and hung up. Fred sneered. "Your hypnosis isn't so effective, is it? He still dared to talk back at you." โMy men would never dare to talk to me like that.โ However, Rhea did not think so and said, "Do you feel you have a firmer control over your men than I do to Mike?"Fred raised a brow and let out a confident look. "Isn't that the case?"Based on just nowโs conversation, he did not think the hypnosis was effec

Satisfied, Fred took the phone and said, "Didn't I ask you to tell Mike that his son is dead?"Rhea grew alarmed. Although Fred sounded casual, he blamed her for not following his orders. "Iโฆ" Rhea said nervously, "I'm worried the news would be too much for him and cause brainwave fluctuations that could affect my control over him. Although I won't lose him, I don't want to cause any trouble at this crucial moment. I plan to tell him after the experiment." Fred caught on and nodded. "Oh, I see. Relax. I asked you to tell Mike about it so he would leave you alone. Since you know how to deal with him, I'll leave it matter to you.โ However, Rhea was still worried. She said, "I'll tell him about his son's death after we complete the experiment tomorrow."Fred smiled. "I know I can count on you. I'm putting you in charge of the experiment tomorrow, then. You won't let me down, right?"He pressured her despite his gentle look. She nodded despite herself. "I'll do my best!"She da

"It sure looks like it." Ross nodded in agreement. "My men in the embassy told me things have been unusual over the past two days. However, that's all they could tell me."He spread his arms, indicating that even he knew little about what was happening at the embassy. Alexander and Cameron were quiet. They exchanged a look without voicing their opinions."Secretary Rollins, what's your take?" Mike asked.After all, Cameron was there to solve the problem together with them. "I'd like to hear your thoughts first, Alex," Cameron said blandly.Alexander cleared his throat and said to Mike, "It's evident theyโre doing something significant tomorrow. The embassy has been postponing meetings, and Rhea has insisted that you only go there at night.โThat shows sheโll be busy with something during the day," After a pause, Alexander continued, "Besides, why did she only call you now? What was she doing during the day? Why didn't she call you earlier?"Mike frowned. "I wondered about tha

"Okay." Ross sighed and stood up with raised hands. "I might not be able to help much. Still, if you guys can rescue the queen and stop Fred, I promise no one will hold you responsible for forcing your way into the embassy."It was a massive commitment for Ross. Alexander nodded. "We're counting on you then.""That must be it!" Austin suddenly said as he thought of something. Puzzled, everyone else looked at him. Austin cleared his throat and said, "I think I know what they are going to do tomorrow! It has to be the R10 experiment!"The others were shocked, and Alexander asked, โYou just realized it?โAlthough he did not mention it, it was evident Fred would conduct the R10 experiment tomorrow. Since Fred only cared about R10, he must have directed all his workforce toward it.Alexander did not expect Austin to realize it so late. The former said sympathetically, โYou should get more sleep. Lack of rest can affect your brain function, you know.โAustin was stunned for a mom

The calm before the storm felt suffocating to Lily. When it was time to deliver her dinner in the evening, nobody came. It was highly unusual because no matter how angry Fred was at Lily, he took great care of her regarding food and drinks. For the sake of the experiment, she knew he would never allow her body to suffer. Although she was not hungry, the fact that they did not deliver the meal indicated that something was up. Lily opened the door and asked the guard, "Where's my dinner?""No dinner tonight, ma'am. Please get an early rest," the guard said readily. "Why?" Lily asked, but the guard gave no reply.Besides telling her there was no dinner, he would not say another word. After some thought, Lily asked, "Where's Fred?"The guard continued to remain quiet. Lily raised her brow and then returned to her bedroom and shut the door. She sat by the bed but did not feel sleepy.'Fred hasn't shown up for quite a while, and they also didnโt deliver my dinner. Don't they care

It sounded like the rolling of car wheels, but it was louder than that. It even attracted everyoneโs attention. Rhea joined the crowd as they hurried toward the door to see what was happening. Rhea saw two huge boxes being pushed past.Unable to see what they were, someone in the back asked, โWhat is it?A man in front shook his head and said, โNo idea. They look like huge boxes. I wonder whatโs inside.โ"What else? The test subjects, of course," someone else said.Rhea's heart raced, wondering if Lily was inside one of the boxes. She wanted to take another look, but the workers had pushed the boxes out of her view.Soon, a guard appeared and said, โEveryone, youโll be in groups according to this list. Please follow me when I call your names.โHe then held up a list and started to call out names. Rhea was puzzled when everyone went to their groups and left with the guard.However, she did not ask about it and waited quietly. Several people shared curious glances and left as we

No wonder the guards separated them into groups and left in such a way. In other words, Fred had put them in charge of different parts of the experiment.With that, the authorities could never find out how the procedure worked unless they arrested all the personnel involved.โThank you for trusting me, Your Grace,โ Rhea said.She was happy to have the only complete handbook because she felt trusted and recognized by Fred.However, Fred squeezed her shoulder as if to emphasize how crucial her task was. He said, โItโs not because I trust you, okay? I want you to have it because youโll be in charge of the most vital step.โRhea was puzzled as he led her toward the laboratoryโs innermost area. There was a rusty iron door that had stayed shut for a very long time. However, the door automatically opened when Fred neared, not even making a creak.Finally, Rhea understood the door simply looked old and worn to avoid attention.Fred let go of her shoulder and strode inside. โCome on.

Rhea wanted to tell Fred to leave the surgery to her, but she could not bring herself to do it. Her fingers trembled as she thought, โHow am I supposed to perform such an intricate surgery alone?!โAs if sensing her concerns, Fred said, "Don't worry, I've arranged top-notch assistants for you." 'What the hell?' Rhea thought. 'Why doesn't he have them perform the surgery instead? If theyโre the best, why are they my assistants and not the other way around?' Although she had always thought highly of herself, her expertise was limited to research and development of drugs. Surgeries like these were not what she did best. "What's the matter? You can't handle it?" Fred asked somewhat unhappily after seeing her hesitance.Rhea gulped and said with a forced smile, "I'm honored you trust me so much, butโ" "That's all I need to hear." Fred raised a hand and interrupted her. He knew he would not like what she was about to say."Rhea, I know youโve performed brain surgeries before, and

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
