"Thenโฆ What is going on?" Maria was perplexed."It's nothing serious. People die and disappear every day in this world. We are here to talk about the vaccine development project. Uncle Cameron, you shouldn't stray so far from the subject," Rhea stated without concern.When she said this, Fabian, who was starting to get suspicious, suddenly returned to his senses. "Yes, Ron, she's right. That missing man's affairs have nothing to do with us. We're here to talk about the vaccine development project. It doesn't matter if someone is missing or dead. If I don't get this project, my whole family will die!""So, you're saying that the life and death of others aren't important?" Cameron raised his eyebrows and asked lightly."Why would it have anything to do with us? The only connection that the miracle doctor has with us is that he treated Tasia. Even if he disappeared, we have nothing to do with it. Aren't the police looking for him? The most we could do is help look out for him, right?"

โThatโs right.โ Cameron fervently nodded while Maria smiled from ear to ear. โHence, I didnโt think my brother-in-lawโs daughter would harm my daughter. Sheโs so young, yet vicious.โ Cameron directed his cold and stern gaze at Rhea. If looks could kill, Rhea would be in pieces by now.Both Fabian and Maria were stunned upon hearing that. Only Rheaโs expression remained unchanged. She merely moved her brows and said, โUncle Cameron, what do you mean by that? Why donโt I understand you?โShe had an innocent look like she had no idea what Cameron was talking about. Upon hearing that, Maria quickly added in a displeased tone, โYeah! There must be some misunderstanding here! Cameron, how could you say that about Ree?โYou said so yourself that sheโs your niece. Itโs too harsh of you to call her vicious! If Ree did anything wrong, Iโd allow you to punish her for that, but I donโt like how youโre attacking her with such harsh words!โโWhy donโt you ask your baby daughter what she has do

โNo way! Anastasia is suffering from chronic poisoning, which has been going on for many years! Ree was just a kid back then, so what would she know about poisons? Also, Ree and Tasia did not get along well since they were young and rarely hung out.โWhy would she poison Anastasia? Donโt scare me! That is a serious crime!โ Mariaโs expression changed.โWhat did he say? Ree poisoned his daughter? Oh please! I understand Ree well. Although she has a weird temper and doesnโt have a close relationship with me, sheโs still a kind and smart lady. How could Cameron just frame her for such a thing for no reason? Iโll never believe it!โโMy momโs right. Uncle Cameron, are you mistaken about something? Or did you listen to someoneโs slander?โ Rhea nodded and asked seriously.Rhea sat properly with a calm smile hanging on her pretty face. She looked like an obedient student that everyone would want. No matter how one looked at it, she did not look like the vicious person Cameron said she was.

Maria was so shocked that she had no words because she did not expect Anastasia to say that. Her tears had even stopped falling.โSince you brought it up, letโs talk it out,โ Cameron straightened his back and said sternly, โI trust that you two arenโt involved in this matter, although Maria, you were the one who sent those harmful herbal plants over. Still, I trust you knew nothing about it.โThe mention of her name made her blood run cold. โWhat did you say? What harmful plants?โโBefore this, you sent Tasia a lot of herbs frequently, and it has filled up the whole place.โ Cameron motioned to remind her of them.Maria admitted that and nodded, but she was puzzled. โWhat does that have anything to do with Anastasia getting poisoned? Do you mean to say thatโฆ those herbs poisoned her? The miracle doctor didnโt mention that!โโYouโre right. Itโs those herbs precisely,โ Anastasia nodded and said, โThe miracle doctor has never brought it up, but that doesnโt mean others are clueless ab

Maria was startled upon learning that the cops would be involved in this. Although she did not believe Rhea would do such a thing, she became skeptical after witnessing Cameron's seriousness in the matter and his firmness in rebuking Rhea. โCameron, weโre family. Why are you making such a big dealโฆโ Maria started softly.โWeโre family, so why is your daughter so evil? Tasia was only about 12 years old at the time, and Rhea was around her age! How could a teenage girl have such a vicious heart? Iโm sure all of you know how much Tasia has suffered over the years!โIโm being kind enough not to throw her in prison already!โ Cameron was infuriated beyond words. The only thing he wished he could do right now was to put Rhea behind bars and make her suffer the pain Anastasia had gone through. However, Anastasia convinced him not to do so.โUncle Fabian and Aunt Maria would not be able to take it if Rhea goes to prison. They accompanied me most of the time when you werenโt home back the

โIs this why Cameron has been acting strangely lately? Is this why Iโve been feeling that he was hostile toward Ree? I never wouldโve thought that Ree would have anything to do with Anastasia getting poisoned. If what Cameron said was right, I wonโt be able to imagine the consequences!โโIs that even important? Didnโt Uncle Cameron convict me for it already?โ Rhea was still being nonchalant, as she usually was. She had been sitting in the same spot, and it appeared that she had no intention of admitting her mistakes and apologizing at all. From her words, one could tell that she was trying to say that Cameron had accused her of something she did not do.While Cameron was on the phone, Maria begged him on the floor, but it was useless. Then she turned to hug Anastasiaโs calf instead. โAnastasiaโฆ We took care of you when you were younger, and you spent a lot of time with Ree back then as well. Even though the two of you arenโt close to each other, youโre still family. Help Ree convin

In comparison, Cameron was much calmer. Raising a brow, he asked, โYouโre finally admitting to it?โโNo! No, she was just blabbering nonsense. Cameron, donโt take her words seriously!โ In a panic, Maria cried as she pulled on Rheaโs arm, explaining further, โYou know how stubborn Ree can be. Sheโs just mad at her dad! How could she have poisoned Anastasia? There must be some misunderstanding hereโฆโThat was what Maria said, but truth be told, she was losing confidence. โCould it be those herbal plants? Is that why Anastasia moved all of them away and said she gifted them to someone else? It seems that she had been wary of us since then.โWith that thought in mind, she looked at Anastasia. โTasia, who told you that you were poisoned by the herbal plants? Was it Lily?โMaria assumed so, as Anastasia had been in frequent contact with Lily only recently. โIโve told you that sheโs not a good influence on you. How could you listen to the things she said? It might not have been the herbal

If Anastasia did not get poisoned, she would have been much happier. She would have been a beautiful and confident young lady with many friends instead of having low self-esteem and staying cooped up at home all the time.All these years, she had suffered physically and mentally. Cameron was well aware of that. Although he said nothing much about it, it hurt him to see how she was. However, Maria wanted to take credit for looking high and low for the miracle doctor. It was ridiculous.โAnastasiaโฆโ Maria knew what Cameron meant by that, and she finally understood that he would go by what was right or wrong even though they were his relatives. Therefore, she thought of begging Anastasia instead and wanted to hold the latterโs leg.Anastasia moved away and stared at the teary-eyed Fabian and Maria before she looked at Cameron. โDaddyโฆโโI told you Iโll handle this. You stay out of it!โ Cameron raised one hand, signaling for Anastasia to stay silent. He knew his daughter was soft-heart

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?
