โI wouldnโt mind that.โ Lily noticed Anastasia looked weak and appeared tired after saying just a few words. โDo you get tired easily?โWith a pillow under her head, Anastasia nodded, her gaze lowered. โYeah. Iโm fat and lazy, so I get fatigued easily.โโAre you lazy? Youโre not,โ Lily pointed to the few bonsai pots in the corner. โYou managed those plants, didnโt you? How could you call yourself lazy when you could care for and prune those plants so well.โUpon hearing that, Anastasia looked toward the plants. They had a lush appearance and were well-maintained. The most exciting thing about them was that Anastasia had pruned them into the shapes of cartoon animals.โHow did you know I was the one who pruned them?โ Anastasia smiled. โWhy didnโt you think the maids did it?โLily shook her head. โThey wouldnโt have pruned the bonsai into such cute shapes if it were them. Only someone as innocent as a child would do something as such.โโInnocentโฆโ Anastasia repeated the word softly

It was different from anything in the past. This time, Anastasia was not repulsed by those questions. There was no mockery in Lily's eyes. She could tell Lily was not asking her all those questions because she wanted to gossip or laugh about it, but because she was genuinely concerned. Anastasia eventually got the impression that Lily wanted to assist her in solving her issue after she patiently probed her about her illness.โMrs. Russell, do you know how to cure an illness?โ Anastasia asked out of the blue.Lily was surprised, and after two seconds of silence, she shook her head. โNo, I donโt! Iโm a perfumer, not a doctor.โโOh.โ Anastasia appeared to be disappointed. โI thought you were a doctor because you might be able to help me that way.โโHow could I beโฆโ Lily laughed. โItโs best for you to get a consultation from the professionals.โโIโve met many of them and tried every possible way. Maybe because Iโm lazy, but Iโll puke every time I exercise. Later, I had to give up on

โOf course. Thereโs no need for you to fight against your body. You need to communicate with it and compromise with each other.โ Lilyโs voice seemed to have a power that could calm anyone down. Anastasia sat up straight, staring at the desserts on the table while swallowing her saliva. She looked like she really wanted it.โHave a try?โ Lily offered, seeing her desire. Slowly, Anastasia reached out for a piece of cake. When she moved the cake closer to her nose after picking it up, it appeared as though she was inhaling the aroma of the food. Desire filled her eyes, but at the same time, dilemmas and conflicting feelings were part of it too.โHave a piece. Itโs fine. Eat slowly.โ Lily encouraged.Anastasia slowly opened her mouth and treated the cake with caution, like it was a treasure. She stared at it for a long time and slowly sent it into her mouth. Just as she was about to bite it, a raging voice came behind her. โWhat are you doing?โThe manโs roar made Lily tremble in

When Lily arrived home, she realized that Alexander was already back and that he was playing with their son in the living room. He looked likeโฆ he was going to head out soon.โDo we have dinner plans later?โ Lily had been too busy lately, so she was unsure if she had forgotten something.โNope, I just wanted to bring the both of you out for dinner,โ Alexander answered. โYou donโt have the time for that?โโI do, but why didnโt you call me and ask me to come home earlier?โ Lily checked the time. Fortunately, it was not too late yet.โIโm not in a hurry, and I know youโve been busy with many things lately. I can wait.โGalen stumbled toward Lily and opened his arms, wanting a hug from his mother. When his fingers almost touched her clothes, Alexander let out a cough that stopped Galenโs movement. He was still young, but he appeared to have understood what Alexander meant by that cough. He turned to look at his father, frowning as he thought for a moment before he spoke again. โMama

โI know that,โ Alexander said casually, not reacting much to it. โEveryone in Kingsland knows about that. Secretary Rollins had spoiled his daughter too much. Sheโs overweight and has a weird temper. The other girls in the circle donโt really hang out with her.โHence, he found it strange when he learned that Lily was in contact with Anastasia, and the latter had even gifted his wife something costly. However, Lily was different from the other women anyway.โSpoiled her too muchโฆโ Lily repeated this phrase and sighed softly.โYou donโt think so?โโPerhaps he loves her, but in the wrong way,โ Lily elaborated.Alexander could tell she had many emotions from her trip to Cameronโs place. โWhat did you see?โโItโs nothing. I just want to ask you something. What if Gale becomes as fat as Ms. Rollins in the future? How would you treat him?โ Lily asked while pointing to their son sitting in the baby chair.Subconsciously, his gaze followed her fingerโs direction. The little boy had no i

โHow long do you think humans can go without eating?โ Lily asked seriously.Without hesitation, Alexander said, โThereโs research data on this. People can go about seven days without eating anything.โLily nodded and continued, โA human body consumes energy even if they donโt do anything. If humans were to consume their energy every day without eating anything to compensate for that, how could their bodies take it in the long run?โAlexander seemed to understand it, but perhaps not entirely.โThink of humans as robots. If you want the robots to lose weight or do anything, youโll need to give it something to move.โ Then Lily paused for a moment before continuing, โAnyhow, sheโs losing weight the wrong way now, and itโll be difficult for her to do so like this. Also, her mental health will worsen if this continues.โLily wanted to tell Alexander that Anastasiaโs mental health was already on the verge of crumbling. Anastasiaโs resistance toward food had reached a limit, and she would

Cameron was strict about Anastasiaโs diet, but he still encouraged her to socialize and hoped she would have friends. However, Anastasia was always reluctant to do so, perhaps due to her low self-esteem.Alexander was speechless. โIt turns out Lily just wants to use my name to do something, and she even said she didnโt need me at first! Iโm still useless, even more so than that punk.โHe turned to look at Galen, who returned a bright smile as if to mock him for being useless to his wife when he was such an influential man in the business world. Alexander just stared at him. โWhat are you laughing at? Youโre just a tool!โLily did not realize the eye contact between the two and assumed that Alexander had agreed to her request. โThatโs settled then. If Secretary Rollins asks about it next time, just tell him what I said earlier.โโOkayโฆโ Alexander hummed, slightly upset.โฆMaria had waited outside the institute for two days but caught no sight of Austin. It made her doubt herself.

Austin widened his eyes. He wanted to dodge, but his legs were rooted to the ground. Hence, he stood frozen in place.Slam!Maria knocked Austin to the ground. She did not think she would trip over her heels as well, and her body was leaning forward as she lost control over it. Her arms were wide open, and she crashed into Austin entirely.โMr. Fike? Mr. Fike, are you alright?โ She hurried to get up, but it only made her press down on him even more. Austin was gritting his teeth by now, and with all his strength, he shoved Maria away. He lifted himself off the floor and brushed the dust off his clothes as he yelled in rage, โWho the h*ll are you?! Are you nuts?!โโIโm sorry! Iโm so sorry!โ Maria felt awkward and embarrassed. Initially, she wanted to show her sincerity toward Austin, but she almost crushed him to death.โMr. Fike, I didnโt fall on you on purpose. I tripped right there, and look how my heels are broken.

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?
