Things had been strange at the embassy over the past two days. Although the staff continued their work as usual, they turned away almost all visitors and postponed most scheduled activities.The official explanation was an internal reshuffle of work for two days. However, according to a rumor, some embassy personnel had contracted a virus during the sanitation work. Some also heard the embassy had tried sweeping it under the rug to contain the commotion.No one knew where the gossip had originated, but it had also left the other foreign embassies uneasy. After all, the pandemic in Burnwken had only just ended.After witnessing or experiencing the pandemic, people wondered what would happen if another outbreak occurred. It caused everyone to be on edge, with each embassy starting its own investigations. Some even demanded an explanation from the Hyderland government.Puzzled by the rumor, the government tried to ask about it from the Yudonian embassy. However, the embassy continuo

Fred could not figure out when Lily made the poison. After all, he had kept her under tight watch, using many surveillance cameras and listening devices.“Does it matter how I made it?” Lily smiled. “Maybe I know magic?”Fred was speechless. He saw her smile and released her, no longer as fierce as before. He groaned and slowly crouched in pain, one hand palming his stomach.Lily was not surprised to see that. She turned slightly and looked down at him. “Do you feel discomfort?”Fred did not answer.“Do you feel a burning sensation in your chest every noon? You’re hungry, but you don’t feel like eating, huh? Do you have severe diarrhea while your stomach hurts like hell?” Lily resembled a concerned doctor trying to diagnose him.Fred bit his lower lip, not answering. However, he knew she had perfectly described all his symptoms. Besides confirming Lily had poisoned him, he had been away due to illness.He did not take it seriously when he felt nauseous and threw up on the first

“I’m talking about Nick Corden,” Lily said. Puzzled, Fred frowned. “Nick Corden?”“Mike Corden’s son. You guys kidnapped the boy to force Mike into doing your bidding. Don’t tell me you don’t know about it,” Lily said bluntly.“Oh, that boy!” Looking as if he had just remembered who Nick was, he asked curiously, “Why do you care about someone else’s son? Or is he also yours?”Lily knew what he was implying by his annoying look and tone. She did not bother to argue with him. Instead, she said, “My babies and Nick are nothing compared to a duke like you. It’s an excellent deal, right?”Fred rested his chin in his hand and smiled. “I guess you’re right.”“So, is that a yes?” Lily asked. “No!” Fred said decisively. Lily stunned. She thought he would agree after hesitating for a moment. After all, Mike was useless to him now, and it was pointless to hold Nick hostage.‘Wouldn’t giving up Nick to save his own life be a good deal?’Lily stressed, “Think twice. It’s your life we’r

Lily’s words terrified Fred, causing him to palm his stomach. “You’re just trying to scare me!”“You’ll soon find out whether or not I’m telling the truth,” Lily smiled and returned to sit back down while looking at him, “So? Do you want to make the deal? I’m tired and need my rest.”Fred glared at her, wondering if he should trust his words. Still, he could not tell if she was telling the truth. He initially thought she was bluffing about the poison, but the physician he visited proved him wrong.Fred did not know how much he could trust her this time. He slowly clutched his stomach when the pain returned. Although he looked calm, sweat dripped from his forehead.‘Should I take the risk?”After a momentary hesitation, he said, “Fine, I’ll give your children to your husband and show you the live feed. However, you must immediately give me the antidote afterward!”Lily nodded. “Deal!” …Alexander was at a loss when he suddenly received an anonymous letter. The letter told him t

The delivery felt heavy in Alexander’s hands. He held his breath and carefully opened its lid. Lying inside were two infants wrapped in blankets. They seemed sound asleep with their eyes closed.Alexander sighed in relief when he saw them but soon grew anxious again. He put a finger under their noses to see if they were breathing and was relieved, exclaiming, “It’s them!”“Oh, my God!” Mike nearly burst into sobs. Tears welling in his eyes, he looked even more emotional than Alexander. He was thrilled for Alexander. After all, the organization had also kidnapped Nick.Mike felt like he saw Nick again.‘If Alex’s twins can return safely, so can Nicky!’Alexander nodded. “Let’s go back first.”The delivery bag was larger than the regular one. No wonder it caught Alexander’s attention initially. Still, the delivery man dared to bring the twins out in the open. Furthermore, he did not look like he could fight.Back at home, Alexander grew worried seeing the twins still asleep. Soon
