โYou knew Lily was sensitive and knew a lot about drugs, yet you tried to spike her tea. Did you do it to tip her off so that sheโd switch her tea with yours? Did you let her go on purpose?โ He slowly walked a few steps forward, then climbed up the stool. Standing on top of it, he stared into Mikeโs eyes judgingly.โI thought she wouldnโt discover my drug and that she would overlook it. I hadnโt thought it through.โ Mike regarded him calmly, showing no sign of alarm. His boss stared at Mike for what seemed like an eternity through the mask, and then he started laughing. โWhy? Arenโt you going to open the box and see whatโs inside? Itโs for you alone!โMike was filled with dread after hearing those words. He held up the box and opened it abruptly, finding a small, severed finger inside. The blood on it had dried up, and he could tell from its shape and size that it did not belong to an adult.An explosion occurred in his head, as if a bomb had been thrown at it.The next second,

Lily had not slept a wink for two days. She watched the medicinal concoction intently as she drew a tiny bit and carefully fed a white mouse.When the little creature drank it all, she put down the dropper and put the mouse back into the observation cage. She bent over and studied it carefully. Having remained quiet, Dr. Morris asked, despite himself, โAre you sure itโll work for the mouse?โLily shook her head. โNo.โDr. Morris was surprised. โItโs because Iโm not sure that Iโm experimenting first. How could I use it on a human being without knowing what the result would be?โ Straightening up, Lily glanced at him, then turned to feed the other white mice.She had familiarized herself with the virus, but it was cunning, and every person of different ages and constitutions would show different changes in their wrist pulse. Therefore, to be safe and accurate, she took the virus from each of them and put it into these laboratory mice.She also selected different strains of mice t

Dr. Morris was confused.โCan I tell her I donโt quite get it?โโAre you saying we should do nothing and let it mutate?โ He thought about it and asked.Lily shook her head. โWhat I am saying is that herbal medicine is meant to fortify damaged organs and mobilize the defense mechanism. Our bodies know how to protect themselves; that is why we can get well from a common cold after a few days without taking any medicine. That is our defense mechanism working to heal us.โHowever, this virus disrupts the mechanism. The medicine Iโm researching would fix it so our bodies could fight and kill the virus.โShe spoke earnestly, and Dr. Morris was dumbfounded. After a few seconds, his lips moved as he blurted out, โThatโs a pipe dream!โโIt is! Would the patients still need us if there was a way to fix the defense mechanism and if our bodies could counteract the virus? Arenโt we researching medicine to fight the virus? Herbal medicine physicians are indeed unreliable. Theyโre full of s*hit

โI can understand that, but what about Alex?โAlthough there were medical staff taking care of him and Greg was around, Lily was still worried as the outsiders had no idea how to deal with the virus. Fortunately, she could still use her phone.For everyoneโs sake, she could only follow the rules and nod. โI got it. I wonโt leave and will stay right here.โDr. Blanc sighed. โI know Iโm asking a lot from you and everyone else, but I hope you can all understand due to the unusual circumstances. I wonโt be going home either.โLily gave him a slight nod and was about to leave when she thought of something and turned around. โDr. Blanc, how long is the incubation period?โโBased on what we know, itโs about seven days. However, since our data is not comprehensive with limited cases within the country, weโre unsure if itโll be longer than seven days.โโI see!โ In other words, she could not leave the place for at least seven days.Lily retired to her assigned bedroom and realized the pla

Anastasia was confused and had no idea why her father had changed so much, but she was sure it had something to do with Rhea. Since she had nowhere else to go and no one to talk to, Anastasia could only turn to Lily.Lily frowned. She was too focused on Alexander, so she did not think much of it when Anastasia first called her. Hearing Anastasia again now, she thought there was more than met the eye. Lily thought about it and asked, โWhere are you now? Whatโs your exact location?โโIโฆโ Anastasia looked around her and said, โIโm in front of a boba tea shop on Maplewood Street. Lily, I donโt know where to go. If I go home, my father will surely tell someone to lock me up. IโฆโโStay where you are. Iโll get someone to fetch you,โ Lily said quietly, โDonโt be afraid. Iโll settle you down first, and weโll talk then, okay?โโOkay!โ Anastasia answered obediently. โThank youโโBefore she could finish, Lily had already hung up.She did not need Anastasia to thank her, and it was rather dan

Lily poured herself a glass of water and got hold of herself after gulping half of it down. She took a deep breath, still haunted by the nightmare scenes. She understood that the virus would affect everyone even if it did not turn people into monsters.Take the situation in Burnkwen, for example. The pandemic was severe, and the governments there had implemented lockdowns in different areas to stop its spread but to no avail. Sometimes they donโt even know how it happened.โWe have detected and contained the cases early, but who knows if itโll worsen? Furthermore, finding a cure is tough since everyone responds differently to the virus.โLily no longer felt sleepy as she massaged her temples. Still, her heart sank as she thought about those tormented by the virus. She got dressed, left her room, and went to where the patients stayed.She did not go in and stood outside the seemingly stifling partitioned room, where she watched for a moment. The little girl was awake, sitting on the

It was a simple question, but it seemed too hard for her.โNo, I only had my mommy...โ The little girlโs voice was soft and yet wrenching. Lily took a deep breath and tried to smile more naturally. โHow could you only have your mommy? You have me, and the doctors and nurses here all care about you a lot, okay?โHearing this, a smile returned to Debbieโs face. โOkay!โAs she nodded, two slow, noticeable trails of red liquid ran from her nose to her upper lip.Shocked, Lily snatched a tissue from a box to wipe them off. However, the girl showed no discomfort and stared at what she was doing with widened eyes.โDebbie, your noseโs bleeding!โ Lily said this in alarm as she palmed the girlโs forehead with one hand and wiped the blood with another. However, the blood soon soaked the tissue paper. She took another one to stop the flow, but the same thing happened... โฆOver and over againโฆLily pressed the nurse call button, and the medical staff soon came and were shocked to see

Having remained quiet on the side, Dr. Morris spoke, โThe government started building the vaccination center a long time ago, and I think it should be operational by now. I heard the tender process had been completed, so I assume it will be very soon. They have also rounded up the specialists in that field, so Iโm sure theyโll step up the prevention of the spread of the virus.โโThis is no doubt good news!โLily grew calmer and asked, despite herself, โHave they already developed the vaccine? Is it reliable? Has it gone through clinical trials yet? Are there any data on its side effects and adverse reactions?โDr. Blanc shook his head. โIโm not sure since itโs a different department. However, vaccines would have to go through several stages of clinical trials before they could be used. Anyway, Iโm only telling you this so that you know everyone is working hard, and itโs not you alone.โโI know youโre eager to find the cure, but donโt get too anxious about it.โ With a soft sigh, Dr.

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
