โSince you know what it is, why did you want to touch it? Youโฆโ Dominic blinked his eyes, suddenly realizing something as he said sternly, โYou did it on purpose!โโI didnโt do it on purpose. I was just curious if there were any exceptions, like perhaps it isn't as poisonous now that it has been improved and cultivated differently.โShe held her cheek up with one hand and looked out over all the other ferns and plants, straight at the yellow flowers of the wilfordi root.The herb looked average, similar to other plants. The tender, green buds looked like tea leaves, but who could have imagined this was the poisonous wilfordi root?Most people might not be familiar with the wilfordi root. It belonged to the famous plant familyโheartbreak grass!According to the myths, a farmer had tasted all sorts of herbs and finally tried the wilfordi root, which brought about his death as it was something that could not be treated.Although it was just a myth, it was a fact that the wilfordi ro

โWhat? What the hell are they up to?โ The older man was appalled and somewhat angry. Being at his age and having gone through so much, he was used to all kinds of trouble. However, after he figured out what the research institute was up to, he was shocked and appalled. โI don't know what they're planning, but it's not improving herbal medicine for the benefit of humanity, as we first presumed they were doing.โShe held up the cup of tea and took a sip. It had a mellow taste. The older man knew how to enjoy himself. He had tea leaves of good quality here, and both the herbs and tea leaves were gifts from nature. Thousand s of years ago, the ancestors were wise in using various herbs to treat patients. However, they have dual therapeutic and harmful potential. Poisons and medicines were always used in tandem. Some medicinal herbs have the potential to save lives if used properly, but they also carry the risk of death if misapplied. Lily knew about this and had always been ex

โYes, Iโve already decided to pull out of the project, and Alexโs company will also divest. However, as the project has gone on for such a long time, Iโm afraid they wonโt give up and will look for other people,โ Lily said thoughtfully.โThen let them get another person as long as it has nothing to do with you!โWaving his hand, the older man had learned to take things easy at his age. In his opinion, one could not save everyone with medicine, and what mattered most was to do their best. He got up and walked toward his beloved herb garden. โThere are people who learn herbal medicine to help people, and there are those who want to cause harm. Human beings are much more complex than these herbs.โLily got up and sat down in his rattan rocking chair. She felt great about being able to stretch. Rocking the chair, she said leisurely, โYouโre right. There are all kinds of people. Some donโt like to be high-profile and prefer to stay at home in the middle of nowhere, while some enjoy d

The older man chuckled since he knew his students well. "You've never cared about claims like these. Why did you mention that little brat all of a sudden? Did he do anything to upset you?"He looked intrigued, as if he was eager to hear gossip.โNot really,โ Lily answered blandly, then suddenly widened her eyes. โHe went to the research institute.โโWhat?!โ Dominicโs jaw dropped, and he could not wrap his head around it. โWhy was he there? How could someone, who knows so little, contribute to the research? He better not make a fool of himself!โLily did not know how to respond to that.โSo you guys met? Does he know youโre myโฆโโNo,โ Lily answered quickly. Sitting up, she said almost warningly, โYouโd better not tell him either!โโYes, yes, of course!โ Dominic nodded, not minding her request.He was somewhat whimsical when it came to taking a student. He would take one if he thought the person was someone he liked and suitable. He also did not care if his students did not becom

Dominic wanted to curse Alexander when he first saw Lilyโs bulging belly.โThe Russell family isnโt about to die out. Whatโs the rush in making babies?โHowever, Dominic was Lilyโs teacher and had no say in this matter. Besides, he could imagine how Wilfred would happily brag about him having great-grandchildren if the man were still alive.โOh, Wilfredโฆโ Dominicโs eyes dimmed when he thought about his departed friend. โOur short lives are full of endless encounters and separations.โHe had not met the right woman since he devoted all his time and energy to learning about herbal medicine. He would have missed her if he did. Therefore, he had always been alone and had nothing else except several manors and countless exotic plants.โOh, yes, I also have several students! They are scattered worldwide, but only Lily would visit me occasionally.โ Thinking so, he became saddened. At the mention of her child, Lily suddenly remembered she was no longer alone and was living with a restle

Lily went around the garden and saw the housekeeper leading Austin in when she rounded the rockery.Austin was not wearing a suit and instead dressed casually, looking humbled. Lily raised her brow, quickened her pace, and walked away.Austin had waited so long at the gate that he fell asleep. When he woke, he noticed that the gate was still closed, and there was no indication that they would let him in. The most puzzling thing was that the red sports car was still at the gate.โThis doesnโt make sense! Dominic usually doesnโt entertain his guests for too long and usually tries to get rid of them within half an hour. However, heโs been with the same guest for so long today. That person must be special.โFortunately, just as he thought he could not go in today, the housekeeper came to tell him that Dominic was ready to meet him.Thrilled, Austin followed the housekeeper into the compound. However, he felt a chill run down his spine as he rounded the bend in the garden. Austin shudd

If treated in such a way by another person, a man like him would have stormed off or lost his temper on the spot, but he dared not do so to the older man before him. He could only hold back his temper, saying, โWell, youโre my grandpaโs brother after allโฆโโWait a minute! We had different moms.โDominic and Austin's grandfather were half-brothers who were born to different mothers. Due to what happened during the last generation, they had not been close. It was a difficult time. Although Dominic was the younger brother and deserved to be treated well, Austinโs great-grandmother was partial to her son. Later, when it was time to pass on the family fortune, the woman fiddled with the papers, and everything fell into Austinโs grandfatherโs hands. Left with nothing, Dominic was kicked out of the house to earn a living by himself. Dominic later went all over the country and gradually became famous. After all, there was karma. As Austinโs grandfather was not made for doing busine

Austin looked helpless. โI genuinely didnโt tell them so. Thereโs nothing I can do if they think that way! I canโt keep telling people Iโm not your last student every time I meet them, can I?โDominic snorted. โEnough of your excuses!โAustin was making excuses, but he was not entirely in the wrong. The truth was that the others regarded him as Dominicโs last student. Of course, he might have somehow misled them, but he had never precisely made such a claim. Therefore, it might not be technically correct to say that he had been flaunting Dominicโs name. โYouโre just the same as your grandpa, incapable yet filled with deviant ideas!โ Dominic rebuked him and said no more. After all, Lily did not say the young man did anything appalling. Austin didn't think anything of Dominic's reprimands because he was used to them. He leaned in with a smile and licked his lips. โSince others think Iโm your last student, why donโt you take me as one? Considering Iโm your kin and youโve taugh

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?
