From the material to the craftsmanship, even the embroidery and stitching looked like the one Anastasia had ordered."You're quibbling again!" She threw the dress down angrily.'If she can't tell the difference, does she even know which dress she bought?'Lily picked up a corner of the dress with a smile and said, "Ms. Rollins, don't worry. I bought this dress from the same store. Although it looks very similar to the one you reserved, I don't think this is yours.""What gives you…""Yours must still be in the store," Lily interrupted Anastasia.Anastasia was taken aback by this. She blinked as if she was trying to process what was going on."Ms. Rollins, did you put down a deposit for the dress that you ordered?""Of course!"How else could she reserve a dress without putting down a deposit? Anastasia paid a 50% deposit for the dress, which the shop had to alter to fit her figure.Her dresses at home were all beautiful and made from good-quality fabrics. Thus, it was difficu

Anastasia knew what she looked like, so she found it a mockery to be praised like that. The initial fondness she was starting to have for Lily disappeared in an instant. However, Lily wasn't surprised by Anastasia's glumness. After all, sensitive people were like this. A simple sentence could either make her happy or hit her nerves. "It's a genuine compliment." Lily nodded sincerely. "Yes, your figure does not fit the societal beauty standard, and you might have some extra flesh somewhere, but you're still beautiful. Your skin is so clear. It's rare to be born with such good skin. If you're keen on losing weight, I'm sure you'll feel beautiful yourself."Anastasia listened to Lily's explanation and saw that it was sincere and not empty words. Her eyes gradually lit up before they dimmed again."The problem is, I can't seem to lose weight." She had tried various methods for years, be it exercising, dieting, or other weight loss programs, but nothing seemed to work. In her wo

The slight sweetness lingered in her mouth.This blueberry mousse wasn't as sweet as the cakes she had before. It tasted like yogurt, and the sugar content was very low. However, it was delicious for someone like her who had not had dessert in a long time.The first mouthful seemed to have opened up her stomach, and she couldn't help but stuff another spoon into her mouth.Lily intervened just as she was about to put it in her mouth. "Wait a minute!""What's wrong?" Anastasia looked at her, her eyes filled with puzzlement and dissatisfaction.She would lose it if Lily suddenly stopped her from eating right now."You can have this, but promise me you'll eat it slowly! Enjoy the taste of the food, feel each bite, and taste all the flavors."Anastasia had never done this before. Every time she ate, she was either pampered with food or restricted. She was either pushed to eat a lot very quickly or not allowed to eat all sorts of food. No one had ever told her to enjoy and savor th

With that, Anastasia turned around and left. After walking two steps, she suddenly turned back and looked at Lily. "By the way, I have a birthday party next week. Please come with Mr. Russell!"Before this, Lily had no plans to follow Alexander to this party, but after today, she changed her mind. "It'd be an honor!"Anastasia beamed and finally left.…The Institute of Medicinal Herbs had a laboratory that had just been renovated and cleared out for their new project, Blossom.Inside, everyone seemed busy at work with solemn yet nervous faces. The numbers on the computers were beeping, and the reagents in the test tubes were being extracted little by little. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. The room was silent, with only the soft beeps from the computer and the trickling of the reagent from the test tubes echoing in the air.There were three test tubes placed on the experimental table. Once the timer on the computer reached zero, the extraction was deemed comple

"What's the matter with you guys? Why aren't you answering me?"After entering the laboratory, Austin asked again, "You’re all professionals and have been in this industry for decades. Why are you letting yourself get tangled up in a woman's web? Are you no better than a woman?""Mr. Fike, it's not that we're underestimating ourselves. Ms. Christian has the capabilities we don't have in this area. Sometimes we don’t even know why the experiments fail. However, Ms. Christian found the crux immediately. Just a simple sentence from her can change the final results quite drastically," someone answered.Everyone admired Lily for the skills she had. Her presence convinced them that this project could be a success. Therefore, when they heard that she was pulling out, they took a blow to their morale."Hmph!" Austin snorted disapprovingly. "You can't find the crux because you're incompetent. It's not because of how good she is. If the experiment fails, keep trying! It's not that hard to ad

“We should work more on our publicity and show everyone the wonders of medicinal herbs, then…”“Austin,” Professor Thompson held Austin’s wrist, interjecting, “I know you’re knowledgeable in this field, have done your research on these things, and learned much from a renowned teacher.“Mr. Dominic is a respected figure regarding medicinal herbs, but some still don’t respect him. Listen to me. It’s not easy to make the public accept medicinal herbs by working on its publicity, but what we’re doing now can achieve that!”“You’re not publicizing it for their acceptance! You guys are just merely meeting the market’s demands for the sake of your benefits!” Austin was angry.“Austin!” Professor Thompson frowned, and his voice became sterner. “Is this how you talk to your superior? Don’t forget you’re only a part of this team because I suggested your name to them! If you’re unwilling to cooperate, you can leave the team anytime!”“Professor Thompson, I just think our project isn’t moving

Austin turned and saw Lily approaching.“Professor Thompson.” Lily greeted.“You came just at the right time. The team just finished a set of experiments, but it’s still not right. Come and take a look at what went wrong.” Thompson was eager to bring Lily into the lab.“Professor Thompson,” Austin could not help but call out.“Uh…” That made Thompson tilt his body sideways and raise his hand. “This is Austin Fike. I believe you two met yesterday. You haven’t visited the institute recently, so you might not know him. Austin just joined us not long ago, and he’s the student of a reputable teacher in this field!”After a pause, he continued, “You two can chat since one of you is an expert in medicinal herbs while the other is an expert in fragrances. I’m sure the two of you can create sparks and miracles through exchanging ideas.”Lily looked at Austin and nodded lightly as if yesterday's unpleasant incident did not happen. Then she smirked. “I wonder who Austin’s reputable teacher

Lily looked like she was reminiscing about something from the past, or perhaps she was trying to figure something out.Thompson, who was by her side, was eager to know the answer. “How is it? Is it okay?”He took the smelling test strip from Lily and took a whiff himself. “Smells great. I can’t even tell that medicinal herbs were used in making this. Since you didn’t reduce the number of medicinal herbs used, their effect remains. We just need to make it into a scented candle now and find its effect on users when inhaled. If there’s no problem with that, then…”Suddenly, he paused as his expression changed. “This…”Seeing the expression change on Thompson’s face, Austin eagerly took the test strip from him and sniffed it. First, he waved the paper in front of his face before he put it closer to his nose and inhaled deeply.Frowning, he thought for a moment before suddenly smiling. “I told you guys that it’s impossible for her to succeed! Professor Thompson, look! I was right!”

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
