Olivia understood immediately. She only knew Lily was collaborating on a new experiment at the research institute, but she had no idea what it was about because it was supposed to be classified. If they were to talk about the experiment, it was not appropriate for her to be present. “Will you be okay going there on your own? What if he insists you stay with the project, and you two get into a fight? There’ll be no one to help you.” Thinking about it, she frowned. “Why don’t you bring Edward with you? He can wait outside in case anything happens.”Knowing she’s concerned for her safety, Lily said with a laugh, “You think I’m going there to fight? Besides, Professor Thompson is an old man. I’m afraid he’s the one who would need help if things get physical.”However, Olivia kept shaking her head. “He’s old, but what if he brings help? You’re young and know kickboxing, but you’re pregnant!” “We’ll be in a public place. Why have you gotten so anxious?” Olivia wanted to argue furt

Mike did not know what Mr. R had gone through, but there must have been a story behind his face.Mr. R was already numb to Mike’s reaction toward his face. However, Mike seemed relatively calm. Mr. R’s gaze swept over Mike contemptuously, and his voice became deeper, almost warning, "Mr. Corden!"Mike suddenly came to his senses, and the corners of his mouth twitched. "Sorry, I didn't know…""You don't know how ugly my face was, huh?" Mr. R gently stroked his mask. At this moment, Mike noticed that the same scars also covered Mr. R’s hands.When Mike gazed down at how this man had worn long sleeves and trousers in such weather, he wondered if there were also scars on the rest of Mr. R’s body."I didn't mean to offend you," Mike explained."Hmph!” Mr. R had grown accustomed to people's screams, contempt, panic, and fear when they saw him. Nonetheless, he, too, hated his face."I'll leave the funds to you, Mr. Corden. I believe Corden Group's financial resources will not let us do

Thompson’s smile froze for a moment before he chuckled. Then he proceeded to open the menu, flipped through a few pages, and ordered a few dishes. Afterward, he looked at Lily solemnly again."How have you been these days?"Lily hated it when people tried to beat around the bush and snapped, "Professor Thompson, this is not the first day we've met, so I think you know how I am. Let's get straight to the point. I still have no idea if the final product will be good or harmful for the public."Thompson looked terrified when he heard her words. "Harmful?! Why do you think that? Although we're not doctors, we know how to cure diseases and save lives. Pharmacology is beneficial to humankind. Of course, it'd be good for the public.""Really?" Lily picked up the glass and took a sip. "In that case, why were the assistants using wilfordi during the experiment?""How did you know it's wilfordi?" Thompson blurted before he could stop himself, and a guilty look flashed across his face instan

Since things had gotten to this point, Thompson thought he might as well tell Lily the truth. After taking another mouthful of food, he began to open up. "I'm the one who proposed this experiment. I'm sure you know this too," he said as he solemnly put down his silverware.Lily nodded, gesturing to him to continue."Initially, it was just an idea and a rough plan. I've grown accustomed to seeing various patients my age, and death wasn't uncommon. Dying isn't the worst part. What's terrible is the torment of the illnesses. Some can't take typical medication while the pain of surgery is too much.“There's also the slow process of home remedies that may or may not work. Some children struggle to take pills and elderly who can't move…" Thompson sighed while Lily remained quiet.What he said had moved her. After all, dying from illnesses is a terrifying form of death."Then I thought my idea could treat people’s illnesses and sustain them in the long run if they could integrate medicin

It was also their trust in her, believing that she could succeed in this project. Other than that, La Beaute Group was not short of money. This small investment was nothing to them.La Beaute Group would withdraw the capital they had invested in the project now that she had decided to withdraw from it. Although paying the compensation would result in a loss to them, it was just a drop in the bucket for the company."Lily, the experiment has been going on for so long. I think we're about to succeed. Are you genuinely going to give up now?" Thompson asked earnestly. "This project isn't just my painstaking effort, it's yours too. I know you were optimistic about this project in the beginning. La Beaute Group has also invested so much in this. Don't you think it'd be a waste for you to give up?"He was heartbroken by her decision. Despite the pressure from his superior, he was reluctant to give up.A simple idea of his has blossomed to this point. It seemed like it was about to succeed

"Lily? Lily!" Thompson called out after her a few times, but she had no intention of stopping. Just as he was deciding if he should chase after her or not, Mike held him back. "Professor Thompson, you should give her some time to think." "But…" Although Thompson did not fancy Mike, Lily was long gone amidst his hesitation. Ultimately, Thompson could only sit resentfully and glare at Mike. "Mr. Corden, you know how on edge everyone is about the project. Are you deliberately causing trouble by pulling something like this?""You should be careful when you speak." Mike pushed the glasses on his nose bridge, and a faint smile appeared on his face. "Don't forget. I'm one of the investors now and have spent money on this project. Why wouldn't I want to see results? It's just that you're using the wrong method to try and keep her in this project.""What do you mean?" Thompson was puzzled."I can more or less understand where Lily is coming from. Now that she doubts your purpose, she w

Thompson was stunned for a while before bursting into laughter. "Oh, Mr. Corden, you're too naive! You must be kidding me! Don't you know what we will use the end products for? Didn't the boss tell you? If I told Lily the truth, do you think she’d want to continue working with us?" "Why not?" Mike questioned. "You just need to tell her that for the sake of safety and the experiment's success. We have put an end to using poisonous herbs. Only herbs that calm the consumers will be used."Hearing this, Thompson's eyeballs almost popped out. "How is that possible?! Mr. Corden, are you telling me to lie to her? She won't be so easily deceived! Besides, she’s the one who’d be performing the experiment. It'll be meaningless for me to lie to her like this!"To Thompson, Mike seemed like he was out of his mind. Did he genuinely think that it was that easy to fool Lily? If that were the case, Thompson would not have been stressing about it until now. "I'm not asking you to lie to her." Wit

The following morning, Olivia went to the studio. She noticed that someone had opened the door with the lights and some equipment turned on. She was a little confused for a moment, wondering if she had forgotten to turn them off when she left yesterday.As she slowly walked in, she heard a rustling from the inside. However, the door to one of the laboratories remained, and it seemed like someone was inside.Besides raw materials, they had some flowers and plants here. Although the equipment was expensive, it was challenging for one to steal and sell.‘There’s no way there’s a thief here, right?With that thought in mind, Olivia leaned forward and pushed the door open. However, the person inside the room did not stop what they were doing. When Olivia looked to see who was inside, she cursed, "D*mn it! What are you doing?!"She did not expect Lily to be in the laboratory.Lily, concentrating on the experiment, did not seem to hear Olivia. Instead, Lily fixed her gaze on the test tu

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
