Although it was nothing, the last sentence irritated Lily.‘What’s a woman supposed to do?’To Austin, a woman should stay home, care for her husband, have children, and play with them. That was why he deemed Lily unworthy of being in the research field.Initially, Lily thought he was just against her field of work. Now, it seemed like he was just sexist. No one expected him to be a sexist b*stard behind his dignified demeanor. Lily thought that people were just blinded by his looks.She was furious. She had not been this angry in a long time and sneered. "Mr. Fike, what is a woman supposed to do? What shouldn't a woman do? In other words, what is a man supposed to do?“You don’t seem to have been in the research field for long, nor did you achieve much in it. Won't that mean you've not done what a man should do? You can't do what a woman does either," she said, rubbing her belly."If it weren't for the Institute of Medicinal Herbs, what rights would you have to stand here and te

"How can the invitations be sent out so carelessly?""From what I see, I don't think anyone even invited her! She must have snuck in when no one was looking!"People chimed in with their opinions, one after the other, but Austin remained quiet. He did not agree or refute as he stared toward the door in a daze.Lily had changed her mind about the project from how he saw it. It seemed like she was not going to put a halt to it. However, he still found it childish and whimsical for her to try and cooperate with a research institute for someone who knew nothing about medicinal herbs.Had power finally penetrated their pure and niche industry?…Alexander was already in the living room when Lily reached home, playing with Galen.In the vast living room, the coffee table and cabinets were empty. A thick and soft carpet lay across the floor for the child to crawl around and play. Alexander doted on the child so much that Lily feared their next child might be a daughter.Since Alexande

"A young degenerate?" Alexander was a little surprised.Since she had already opened up, she started to pour her heart out. "The research institute sent quite a young man today. He looked like a refined scholar until he opened his mouth.“He said he’s on my side regarding stopping the project. He said women should stay home with their children and do what a woman is supposed to do. He also insinuated that I only have this opportunity to cooperate with the institute because of your money and connections!"‘That man was something else!’"Didn't you intend to stop the project?""That's different!" Lily shook her head. "I wanted to stop it because the research is moving in the wrong direction, and they've hidden too much from me. I was starting to doubt their purpose. That's why I wanted to call it off.“But that man is supportive of my decision because…I’m a woman! Don't you think that’s outrageous?!"‘What century are we living in? How could there still be someone so discriminator

She felt it was unlikely they could achieve such a result and saw that there was no need to invest that much money and time in it, hence the conflict.Lily had been working in her studio again. While preparing the essence, she thought about how some medicinal herbs would always have a smell associated with them. Why must she forcibly try and separate the two? It was not a big deal if the consumers could smell the medicinal herbs used in the perfumes. Just like how lavender was known for soothing nerves and mint was refreshing, medicinal herbs also had their own uses. However, the institute was heading in a different direction. Instead of creating products to allow consumers to accept medicinal herbs in a more pleasant way, they were trying to get people to inhale the medicinal properties of the herbs without their awareness. This was the weird part of all this! On top of this and the fact that the research was stagnant, she hadn't returned to the institute for more than half a

His warm lips gently touched her collarbones, as if trying to remind her of last night.At this moment, Lily's cheeks burned, and she quickly pushed him away. "How dare you ask that?!" This man had always looked cold and distant, yet last night he was like a wolf that had been left without food for months. She rubbed her back and frowned subconsciously at the thought of that.Alexander, who had been pushed away, grinned. When he noticed what she was doing, he rubbed her hands. "What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"'It’s more sore than it is painful!' Lily thought to herself. She knew he had stamina, and although she tried her best to keep up, it was still too much for her."Hmph!" She feigned anger, telling him that he should not be so unscrupulous the next time. "Did I really hurt you?" After asking that, he suddenly picked her up and let her nestle in his embrace. He gently massaged her back with one hand and held her belly with the other.Lily was taken aback. "What are you d

"Don't change the subject!"Alexander let out a hearty laugh. Although he knew she was pretending to sulk, he was still delighted.He enjoyed her occasional jealousy. Without this, he would think Lily saw her pots and plants as more important than him."Didn't I meet with Secretary Rollins twice last month? I just happened to catch a glance at her profile when she texted him."Jokes aside, he still explained his side of the story solemnly, "This girl's profile picture is so gloomy. Not many would put such a picture up."After glancing at him, Lily looked down at her phone again. Alexander was right.The profile picture was indeed quite gloomy. It was gray and dark. When Lily clicked on it, she saw a picture of a gloomy sky with a puppy snuggling up by a broken flower pot. Regardless of how she tried to see it, the picture looked heart-wrenching. Lily heard that Anastasia was young and was probably around 17 or 18. She also came from a wealthy family, so she should be blossoming

‘This man is becoming increasingly romantic, but I’m not complaining.’Lily turned to put her hands loosely on Alexander’s shoulders and looked at him softly. "Since my husband is so kind, I can't be so ungracious, can I?""Huh?" He raised his eyes to look at her. She’s so…charming.’"Since I know who she is, of course, I won't do anything to embarrass you!" Lily was not a fool, after all. Of course, she knew the salesgirl was trying to stir up a fire when she suddenly changed her heart and readily sold the dress to Lily. However, Lily would not let the salesgirl get what she wanted."Good girl!" Alexander tapped Lily’s nose before picking her up and walking upstairs.Lily was startled. "What are you doing?!" Her hands tightened around him as she exclaimed, afraid she might fall."It's getting late. You should go back to your room and rest. Let's talk about the rest tomorrow.""But I haven't replied…""You can reply to her in the room."Lily was prone to forgetting to sleep an

Lily brought a spoon to her lips and questioned with a flat smile, "Ms. Rollins, I'd like to know who told you that your dress is with me?""That's none of your concern!" Anastasia frowned. "If you dared to take it, you should admit it!"With a snort, she added, "Here I was, thinking how powerful and prestigious the woman that relied on her husband's family wealth could be. Who would have thought you're just a coward who won't admit what you did."However, Lily did not get angry when she faced Anastasia's ridicule. Instead, she even put on a light smile. After putting down her spoon, she looked up at the girl sitting across from her.Although Anastasia was just a few years younger than Lily, she was just a little chubby girl in Lily's eyes."Ms. Rollins, I also thought you’re smart enough not to let yourself be a prop in someone else's game."Anastasia frowned and narrowed her eyes at Lily. "What do you mean?""I assume the salesgirl must have told you I insisted on buying that

Lily tilted her head up to fight back her tears, saying, “There’s something I find strange.”“What is it?” Mike asked after comforting his son.“Instead of detaining Prince Ross, Her Majesty has sent him back to Yudonia. If so, why couldn’t we reach him?”After some thought, Mike answered, “There are two possibilities. It’s probably due to poor signals, or he doesn’t want us to contact him.”The two shared a look, knowing what each other was wondering.‘Why can’t we contact Ross? Is he planning something?’…Three days later, Lily inserted the last needle into the queen’s leg and looked up at her, saying, “You should start feeling your legs tomorrow. Still, it’ll take some time before you can stand.”Suddenly, Lily chuckled.“Why are you laughing?” 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, “Of course, you wouldn’t.”“That’s… quite a pity,” the queen murmured thoughtfully.“Well, there’s a price to pay for everything. That’s how the world balances itself,” Lily continued, “I can’t stop you if you must carry on with R10. Still, I won’t witness whether or not it succeeds. I just wish the outcome isn’t something you’ll regret.”Lily 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 Yasmin’s legs. “Your Majesty, those needles—”The queen waved dismissively. “It’s okay. Lily will remove them later.”Even so, Rick was wary. “You’re being too careless, Your Majesty. What if that woman—”“She wouldn’t,” 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.“Tell me. What do you want?” The queen took a deep breath to calm herself. She then reminded herself that she could always say no to Lily’s 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 don’t 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 wasn’t sure if you’d blame him, but he did rescue me once. If I don't do anything, it would be ungrateful of me," Lily said gently, "Also, didn’t 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.“That’s it?!” 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.‘I haven’t felt my legs for over a decade. I wouldn’t mind waiting for three more days.’“Are you sure I can get up and walk in just three days?” 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, “I can’t guarantee that you’ll walk as fast as you once could. After all, you haven’t used your legs for a long time, and your muscles have atrophied. Still, you’ll recover slowly.”Yasmin nodded repeatedly, thinking it was good enough. She never dreamed of walking as well a

“Because only our opinions matter." Lily thought of something and said, "Unless you choose to believe Rhea.""I… don't trust anyone." Yasmin’s 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? You’ve done enough as a queen over the last few decades. Aren’t you tired of living a lonely life?”Lily gently spoke as she gazed at Yasmin’s back.The older woman caressed her knees with both hands and stared down at her legs, murmuring, “Sightsee, huh? I’ve forgotten what that’s like.”Yasmin 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 Lily’s suggestion.Lily asked, “What 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 couldn’t 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 who’s willing to die for him. If Mike decides to take drastic action against you— Yes, you're a queen, and you don't care much about an insignificant businessman.“However, 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?""You…" 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, “Bring Lily over. I’d like to see what excuses that sly woman can come up with.”"Your Majesty?" Rick was puzzled. "You know she'll just lie to you. Why must you—"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, “Her Majesty wants to see you.”Lily 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. “You stay.”"But we came together!" Mike glanced over his shoulder at Lily, signaling her to persuade the man. Rick added, "The queen doesn’t 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 queen’s 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, “If any of you go with her, they might stop or suspect you. They won’t do that to me. It’s natural for me to want to see and rescue my son. I’m the best candidate because it makes sense for me to sacrifice myself for him.”After a short silence, Lily said, “You’re right.” She then looked at Alexander, who pondered before slowly raising his head and saying, “Me too.”Dominic 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, “Thanks, you guys!”"Why are you thanking us? Just be careful, and don’t be rash like you promised," Aust
