Austin could no longer hold it in. “Granduncle, I understand if you’re partial to your secret apprentice, but what does she know? You can’t possibly be so biased, can you? Also, she’s taking so many precious herbs from you. Does she even know how to use them? Whenever I try to get some from you, you only let me take a little yet her bag…”

He grew jealous when he looked at Lily’s bag.

All the plants there were precious medicinal herbs that Dominic had carefully cultivated. Austin wanted to take them several times but got turned down, except for the few times Dominic gave him a little bit. Still, Lily’s bag… Austin was indeed jealous.

“They belong to me, and I can give them to whoever I like! You spend your days hanging around with those rich people, so don’t think I don’t know what you’ve been up to. Instead of focusing on herbal medicine, you keep trying to get famous, even at my expense. You stay the hell away from me, okay?” Dominic rarely got so angry and scolded him in one brea

    At this moment, the supposedly locked showcase was open, and one of the teapots had fallen and broken into pieces on the floor. The other one was still…“My darling!” One could not tell if Dominic was referring to the teapot or the boy as he shouted in a trembling voice. On tiptoe, he sped over. “Here you go, Grandpa!” Seemingly knowing what Dominic wanted, Galen reached out his hands to grab the teapot for Dominic and lost his balance. His body swayed and fell backward. “My darling!” The older man screamed again and quickly lunged forward to catch the boy as he fell. At the same time, he heard another crash. He shut his eyes as if he could not face reality. His heart and body ached, inside and out! “Don’t be scared, Grandpa!” Galen patted his chest soothingly. Dominic was speechless. He wanted to cry! Lily came over at this moment and sighed. “I was trying to ask you whether those two teapots were expensive.”‘But he had to interrupt me and give a heroic speech.’“Wha

    Since he had said so, Lily could not punish Galen in his presence. Pulling her face back, she gave her son a solemn look. “Are you sorry?”The boy was young but knew what was right and wrong. Holding his head low, he peered nervously at his mother and pursed his lips quietly when she asked. “We must all feel sorry for our mistakes. As a boy, don’t you even have the courage to admit that you’ve made one?” Lily continued, “Are you sorry?”"Yes," he said softly but clearly enough. Lily asked, “What did you say? I couldn’t hear you.”“I’m sorry.” His voice was louder this time. Pouting, he looked pitiful, with shimmery tears welling up in his big eyes. This was enough to make Dominic feel sorry for him and wave. “Okay, okay, you’ve said it enough. What does a little child know?”“The fact that he’s young makes it all the more important to teach him what he should and shouldn’t do! Didn’t I tell you many times before not to touch the things in Grandpa’s house and not to climb up a

    “His allowance won’t be enough to pay for the teapots. Why don’t you just use it to buy toys for him?” Dominic could not help but speak on the little boy’s behalf.Lily nodded. “You’re right. Then I’ll deduct his allowance for two years.”Galen pursed his lips and wanted to cry again. He had accepted that his mother would deduct his allowance for a year, but after Dominic tried to defend him, it became two years instead.“B-But…” Dominic was at a loss and dared not help Galen again, so he faked a coughing fit. His gaze wandered toward the open showcase as he tried to devise a random excuse. “It’s not entirely his fault! I didn’t lock the showcase properly. Even if he didn’t break the teapots, the thieves might have stolen them!”Then he raised his voice and scolded, “Look what you’ve done! Didn’t I tell you guys to keep the showcases and cabinets locked? Couldn’t you do such a simple thing? Do you still want this month’s salary? Do you still want your jobs?”The maid tidying up th

    Galen thought his mother would severely reprimand him at first. He happily wanted to show off his skill and realized that not only was Lily not going to scold him again, but she also said she could not open the lock.Galen put his tiny hands together, twisted them, then said, “Poof!” to indicate how he opened the lock. Others might not understand his performance, but since he was Lily’s son, she immediately caught on, even though she found it hard to believe. “That was it?”“Uh-huh.” He nodded vigorously.Lily thought about it and gestured at the maid standing aside. “Please lock the showcase.”The maid was puzzled. Dominic also came over as the maid looked toward her employer for his instruction. Dominic was also curious how a toddler could open the showcase.Initially, he thought it was an accident and that the maids did not lock the showcase properly. Now that Lily questioned her son, he rechecked the lock and felt it did not seem to be the maid’s fault.‘If Galen did open it,

    Dominic was slack-jawed as well. He saw the child looking over at him and quickly gave him a thumbs-up. “You’re amazing!”The boy grinned and puffed out his chest after Dominic praised him.Lily cocked her head and studied the lock. She was not good at this and could not understand the mechanism behind it. She had seen it on TV before, and there was an online urban legend that someone could open all the neighborhood doors with a single strand of instant noodle.However, seeing her young son open the showcase lock with a thin cable from some toy was rather shocking.“Who taught you that? She looked toward Galen, wanting to know where he had learned such a thing.“Dee-Dee!” Galen answered thoughtfully.“Who’s Dee-Dee?” The older man looked puzzled.“Daisy?” Lily asked after some thought, “Aunt Daisy?”“Yes!” Galen said, nodding sharply, “I learned it myself!”His contradictory remarks puzzled Dominic. “So you learned it yourself, or did Aunt Dee-Dee teach you?”“Hmm…” Galen kni

    However, Dominic had not interfered with matters of the outside world for a long time, and Lily did not want to involve him. Living as a carefree recluse was nice, and he should be enjoying his life in old age.Therefore, Lily did not say anything in the end and left with Galen in a hurry, bringing the herbs she had collected. Reaching home, she saw everything was as usual, but her mind was not at rest.She had always thought their house was safe, as she and Alexander had carefully installed various surveillance and safety devices all over the place, and her housekeepers underwent a rigorous selection process.Still, even a palace could not ensure it was 100% safe, let alone an ordinary home like hers.“Galen, you’re back!” Daisy, the nanny, came to welcome them warmly. She wore ordinary loungewear and looked pleasant, with her hair pulled into a bun.Barely over 30, she was relatively young, and her skin was so well taken care of that she looked like someone in her 20s.

    Lily did not find out when Galen had learned to pick a lock from the woman, but she knew her son was not lying. He was too young to even think about doing so and did not need to. ‘Daisy, oh, Daisy, just what are you up to?’…Rhea Moore returned home from the laboratory at 5 a.m.She opened the door and went upstairs, seeing no one except the maids in the quiet house. Just as she got to the second floor, Maria, who had woken up in hunger and left her room to eat something, was surprised to see her. “Ree?”Puzzled, Rhea turned around with a slight frown. Rubbing her eyes, Maria saw it was Rhea and grew excited. “Ree, you’re home! Why didn’t you tell me about it? You’re back so early—no, you’re back so late!”Maria could tell she had just returned home by what she was wearing. Feeling sorry for her, she placed one hand on her arm and tried to touch her face with the other. “Poor thing. Look at your dark circles.”Cocking her head to dodge her hand in irritation, Rhea said, “I

    Rhea placed the wooden case on the desk, thought for a moment, then brought the pen holder to the front. Turning around, she took two steps away, then returned to put the wooden case inside the pen holder. She took out several pens and pencils, fit them nicely inside, and let out a slight sigh of relief. She took her clothes and a towel, then went to take a hot bath in the bathroom, as she had not been home for many days. Although there were bathrooms and restrooms at the research institute, she could not take a nice bath there as they were not well-equipped. Lying in the bathtub, she felt her overworked mind and body start to relax, and she grew sleepy. After some time, Rhea jerked awake and was shocked to realize she had fallen asleep in the bathtub and there were footsteps outside. Her brain grew sharp immediately, and she quickly rose from the bathtub. Putting on a bathrobe, she neared the door and heard the footsteps stop outside, not far away. She suddenly pulled the door

    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
