As the road continued to narrow, she was beginning to lose phone signals as well. Finally, as she entered an extremely lush forest, she saw a small wooden cabin in the middle of the woods.The reality was grim, despite the fact that most log cabins in the woods sounded magical in fairy tales.The wooden cabin was simple and covered in moss. It was carefully hidden in the woods, unnoticeable to most. There was simple fencing around it, making it look like an ordinary farmer's hut.Lily checked the address on her phone again before looking up at the hut in front of her. She was sure this was the place. Other than the cabin, there seemed to be no other residences around.As she couldn't drive the car forward anymore, she stopped and got out before walking to the cabin. When she reached the door, she realized that the house was not as simple as it looked on the outside.There were surveillance cameras all around, and the cabin seemed to be fortified. This made her feel a little more a

At this point, it was impossible for her to back down. She pressed on the dagger pinned to her waist and slowly walked down.As she walked, she realized that there was no light on the stairs. Once they reached the bottom, there was a faint light source at the end. This was obviously a basement or a secret room.She did not expect such a simple wooden cabin, hidden inside the forest, to have such a room. It was a good place to recuperate and hide out. After walking a few steps forward, she heard a slight cough, and she could immediately tell that it was Alexander.Suddenly, she became excited again and took a few more steps forward, calling out softly, "Alex?"Unlike what she had imagined, the inside looked like a study room with bookshelves and computers. There was a big bed that was properly made on one side. Alexander was sitting behind the desk, coughing lightly into one hand while his other held the mouse. He was frowning as he seemed to be looking at something on the screen.

He looked normal even after taking off the mask. Other than his pale complexion, he did not seem any different. He was just a little weak.The plague had spread so quickly and fiercely, but there seemed to be nothing serious about contracting the disease.According to the news, those infected would be coughing non-stop, and those with severe symptoms might even cough up blood alongside other unknown symptoms. However, looking at Alexander, it wasn't as serious as it sounded."Stick out your tongue!" She ordered again.Alexander was taken aback for a moment before he laughed. "Look at you! You're quite thorough!""Enough nonsense! Stick out your tongue!" Lily had a solemn look on her face, looking like an extremely strict doctor.With a doting smile, Alexander obediently cooperated with her and stuck out his tongue.His tongue seemed to be covered in a thick layer of mucus with tooth marks on the edge and white patches in the middle.After studying medicine with Dominic for so m

Alexander was very thoughtful. However, judging from how Greg acted, Alexander had probably trained him. The security measures of this place were also very well planned."Thenโฆ" After pondering for a moment, Lily asked softly, "Where's Edward?"Alexander fell silent as soon as he heard that name, and his face turned solemn.From the looks of it, the situation might be more ominous than Lily had thought. Her mood dropped as well. On the one hand, she wanted to know the answer, but on the other, she was afraid of what she might hear.โIf something bad happened, how would Olivia take it?โ"Many died in the factory," Alexander began slowly, "Some died from the war, and some from the plague. I knew I couldn't stay any longer and had to return."After a pause, he continued, "The whole situation was chaotic. Just as we were about to leave, we ran into a bunch of thugs. Edward took a bullet for meโฆ""Is he dead?" Lily suppressed the sadness that startled to bubble in her heart and asked

"Is our son okay?" Once Alexander had updated Lily about the situation, he turned his concern toward his son."I left him in a very safe place for now. He's fine.""He's not at home?" Alexander asked, a little surprised."No." She shook her head. Then she suddenly remembered something. "By the way, there's something up with Daisy.""The new nanny?" After thinking for a while, Alexander frowned. "Didn't I do a background check and find nothing wrong with her? What happened? What did she do?"Alexander had specially hired Daisy to take care of his son. If there were something fishy about her, it would jeopardize his son's safety. Only people who had passed his background checks were allowed to work in his house. It would be a severe problem if he let a dangerous person near his son."She didn't do anything." Lily shook her head. Although she had put this matter on hold because she did not have time to deal with it, she was starting to feel more suspicious about Daisy as days passed

"A safe house," Lily deliberately answered in a way that kept Alexander on tenterhooks.Only a few people knew she studied medicine with Dominic. Although she had no intention of hiding it from Alexander, she did not feel the need to bring it up now."A safe house?" Alexander looked at her deeply before saying with a smile, "Are you hiding something from me?""What's wrong? If you can have a safe house, why can't I have one too?" She raised her head and looked around the secret underground room. Besides the lack of light, everything seemed nice. It was not even stuffy."Thereโs a ventilation system here that allows the outside air to flow into the room. That's why it's not very stuffy here, although it's underground. However, we canโt do anything about the lighting. It doesn't matter if it's a bit dark, as long as it's safe," Alexander explained as if he could read Lilyโs thoughts."That's true." Lily nodded. "By the way, I saw in the news that people who contracted the disease wi

Maria had been asking around for the past two days, but she had received no news. This was very discouraging.She did not think it would be that hard to inquire about this, seeing that it was just gossip about someone's love life. However, after asking around, she still found nothing. She even asked the wives of some ministers, but they knew nothing of it.Initially, she thought they were reluctant to tell her because of her relationship with Cameron, so she convinced them it was fine. After all, Cameron had been single for so many years. It was a good thing for him to be seeing another woman. People stuck to their script of not knowing even after saying that.Some even asked her curiously about Cameron's new woman.After two days, her voice was starting to get hoarse, yet she did not gain any helpful information. Fabian was losing his patience. His face turned gloomier with each passing day."What's the use of going to all these spa sessions and hanging out with your friends all

"Didn't you guys tell me to apologize to her? Why can't I go?" Rhea frowned as she started to get a little irritated.โWhat is this nonsense?!โShe would have gone by herself if she had known this would happen. However, she wanted her parents to come along so that they could discuss the vaccine development project.Thinking of what the boss had said, she was starting to become restless, and her tone hinted at annoyance. "Are we going or not?""Yes!""No!"Two voices sounded at the same time.What Fabian meant by agreeing to go to Cameron's house was so that Rhea could put on a show, which might allow Cameron to forgive him.Even if Fabian did not get the vaccine development project, as long as he was still considered Cameron's brother-in-law, he would still have a chance to grow. On top of that, people would be fearful of him. Once his identity as Cameron's brother-in-law was gone, he would be a nobody.However, Maria did not want to go. She took a few steps forward and grabbe

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? Just be careful, and donโt be rash like you promised," Aust
