โHow could it be, Mom? Am I not here to see you?โ He wanted to get up, but Elizabeth tightly held onto his wrist. โDonโt go! If youโre gone, I would have nothing.โ Damian frowned. โMom, Iโm not leaving. Iโm just going to get you a glass of water. Your lips are so dry that theyโre flaking.โ Elizabeth touched her lips and realized they were dehydrated. She sighed. โFlaking? Who would give a d*mn even if my lips start bleeding?โโMom, donโt say it like that. Do I not care about you? Dad too!โ โYour dad? Please!โ She snorted, still looking upset. โAfter all these years, all he does is pay us lip service. Deep down, he only cares about that woman.โโYouโre just upset, Mom.โ Filling up a glass of water, he handed it to her and helped her to sit up. While she sipped the water, Damian said, โYouโve been with Dad for so many years. Iโm sure you know how he feels about you. Besides, from my perspective, Dad still loves you.โโHe loves me, yet he couldnโt bear to part with 10 million dol

Elizabeth took the perfume and gave it a look. โIt looks great!โ She took the bottle out from its packaging and sprayed some perfume onto her wrist. โWhat do you think?โ Damian asked smilingly, ready to receive her praises. Elizabeth took a deep breath and nodded. โIt smells great! Truly great! Itโs the best perfume Iโve ever used. You did a marvelous job!โ With his mother acknowledging the product, Damian grew even more confident. โThis is why I asked you to wait for my good news.โElizabeth was happy, too. With a smile, she sprayed two more times to fill the air with the fragrance. She closed her eyes with her head tilted upward and took in the scent. Damian looked on quietly. To him, he was witnessing the start of a beautiful future. โHmmโฆโ Elizabeth sniffed and frowned. She took another sniff. โWhatโs the matter?โ Seeing his motherโs unusual reaction, Damian asked hurriedly.โNothing. I just feel itโs a bit weird.โ She sniffed the scent again as if making sure. โW

Early in the morning, Arianna knocked on the door to Nathanielโs house. Nathaniel yawned and rubbed his sleepy eyes. He was upset when he answered the door. โCan you not knock on my door so early next time, please? Even if you donโt need sleep, others do.โโI need every bit of information on Lily Christian.โ Arianna stepped in and went straight to the point. Nathaniel was stunned, stopped saying what he was about to say, and looked over at her. โWhat?โโI want a detailed report on Lily, as detailed as possible.โ She went to the sofa, sat, and put her handbag down, looking severe.Having heard her instruction clearly, Nathaniel laughed as he took a can of beer from the refrigerator and handed another to her. Arianna held up her hand and frowned, rejecting the beer. โHow can you stay awake drinking this in the morning?โโDonโt worry. Iโve always been awake.โ He gulped down his beer and burped, looking satisfied.โ Why would you suddenly ask me for such a report? Besides, Lily is f

Although she did not admit it, her reaction proved otherwise. Nathaniel chuckled meaningfully. โI see.โโWhatever it is, I do it for our mutual interest. Donโt interfere with my plans,โ Arianna grabbed her handbag, stood up, and said, โWhen youโre ready, send it to my email.โ Nathaniel smiled, non-committal.Arianna took a few steps, then stopped and turned around. โOh, I heard the companyโs first perfume will launch soon, and its production is almost complete. Donโt you want to go to the factory to check on things?โโWhy should I? Someone has kept a close eye on it. The credit will go to him anyway, so why would I bother to steal the limelight?โ Nathaniel said casually. The truth was that he knew exactly how many times Damian had gone to the factory. Arianna raised her eyebrows and reminded him out of goodwill, โAre you certain your plan will work? If he discovers the problem before the perfumeโs official launch, wouldnโt your arrangement go to waste?โ โIf he can easily disco

As the workers moved the new equipment into the studio, Lily was on the sidelines taking inventory, somewhat distracted.Olivia was busy at work and moving around. She loved the new studio, not just because it was ideal, but because it belonged wholly to them, and they could do anything they wanted.โPut this over here and that over there. Hey, be gentle, okay?โ Olivia was in high spirits as she instructed the workers. She looked over at Lily and found her holding a pen and a notepad without writing anything, seemingly in a daze.โLily, whatโs the matter?โ She waved. โYouโve zoned out for quite some time.โLily caught herself. โOh, Iโm fine. Is everything here and accounted for?โโAlmost. The equipment is complete, and we have more stuff here than at our last workplace. Most of the tools here are the latest and have truly amazing designs.โ Olivia was too satisfied with the studio and could not stop singing her praises.โWell, I initially thought the stuff we had was complete, but

โThe hospital.โ Jenny got straight to the point. โI mean, you should verify it, right? At least youโll know what to do.โ After a moment of silence, Lily said quietly, โI didnโt go to the hospital.โโYou were afraid to? Do you want my company? This is so unlike you, though. No matter what, itโs better to know, right?โ Lily bit her lower lip. โItโs not that. I already tested it myself.โ Jenny asked immediately, โThen? Are you reallyโฆ pregnant?โThe answer was obvious in Lilyโs hesitant expression.โYes.โ Lily nodded her head. She felt conflicted since knowing about it, and her thoughts were a mess. โOh my God! That means Iโm supposed toโฆโ Jenny paused to think before saying, โโฆcongratulate you?โ Under normal circumstances, Jenny would congratulate her, but now that Lily had just started her studio and had begun accepting orders. Being pregnant meant giving up all of that. Should Jenny congratulate her or lament that the child had come at the wrong time? โI have no idea

Since production at the studio had only just begun, there was little to do. Lily spent a few days deliberating over the series theme, and that was just for Lisa's order. She could only begin developing the fragrance once she settled on a theme and basic concept.In the early afternoon, Lily suggested that Olivia go home and rest while she stayed around to tie up some loose ends and outline the preliminary concept for Lisa's order.She sat for nearly an hour trying to think of solutions, but all she could think about was whether she should give up the child or her job.In the meantime, she could not stop twiddling the piece of wood Benedict had given her because of how it smelled. Interestingly, its scent was not strong but had steadily lingered for a long time.โYour business hasnโt even started officially. Do you have to work so hard?โ Having the key to the studio, Alexander went straight in and saw her zoning out. Lily was surprised. โWhy are you here? Got off work early?โโIโ

Lily stared up at him, unable to respond. โFrankly speaking, Iโm not patient, and children are troublesome. However, Iโd be looking forward to them if they were our own.โ He held her hand and asked, โWhy? Do you want a child now?โGazing into his eyes, Lily wanted to let out a sigh. Whether she wanted the child or not, it was already here. Having her hands held between his, they felt warm, and she gradually relaxed. After all, he was the one who had made her feel safe for over a year. He had a right to know, just as Jenny had emphasized earlier.She gulped and mustered her courage. โI have something to tell you.โโYes?โโI might beโฆโ She paused and chose her words carefully. โI might beโฆ I might be pregnant.โHaving said it out loud, she felt a sudden relief. She looked nervously at him, anticipating his response. To her surprise, Alexander was neither shocked nor overjoyed. His response appeared overly calm as if he was listening to stories that had nothing to do with him.

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
