"I'll pay you twice the original price of the treasures he has ruined, butโฆ" Lily paused and curled up her lips into a smile. "You know that's not what I'm talking about, right?""Hmmโฆ" After dragging out his hum, the older man put down his teacup. "You showed up so suddenly that I didn't have time to ask. How are things on your end?""It's done. Weโve developed the antidote. Otherwise, why would I be standing here?" Lily replied casually."Really?" Dominic frowned. "Why did I hear it's not that simple, and there are rats within the department?"She did not expect Dominic to know this and pursed her lips. Lily gently ran her fingers through her hair and frowned. "Do you have an insider there, old man?""Why do you say it like that?! You make me sound like a spy!" Dominic slapped his thigh and gave her a look. "My apprentices are everywhere, okay?"Lily rodded her eyes and nodded. "Yeah, yeah. You have apprentices all around the world. Then did any of your apprentices tell you whe

Galen came out of the room, rubbing his eyes. "Mommyโฆ""Why are you awake?" Lily stretched out her arms and pulled him to her side. Her belly had grown bigger over the days. Although it was inconvenient to hold Galen, she would not let that stop her."I thought you left." The child snuggled into his mother's embrace. He did not say much, but his actions were loud and clear.Lily felt a little guilty. She had indeed neglected her son recently. After being separated for such a long time at such a young age, he must have missed her. However, he was sensible and did not complain."No! I'm not leaving you anymore. We'll go home together," she softly said as she rubbed his head.Galen's eyes lit up when he heard the word โhome.โ He immediately became more energetic. "Really?! Can we go home now?!""Of course." Seeing how cheerful he became made Lily happy as well. "Daddy is back too. We can be together again.""Okay!" At this moment, Galen acted like a child again, jumping up and down

However, the enormous room seemed empty untilโฆA short man jumped down from the chair behind the desk, walked around it, and walked in front of Mike. "What's wrong?""Rhea Moore is dead!" Mike replied bluntly.He was shocked to receive the news. Initially, he thought that it might be fake and that it was all a ploy. However, judging from the various sources and the current situation, it may be true."I know." The man looked up at him with his eyes slightly narrowed behind the mask, looking slightly displeased.Mike got the hint immediately and squatted down. Only then did he see a little satisfaction in that man's eyes."Why is it so sudden? Why did the factory explode? I've done many experiments before, and there has never been such a problem. Is sheโฆ faking her death?" Mike asked tentatively. He still felt like this was a game that the man and Rhea had set up.However, the man took a deep look at him and sighed. Then he climbed up on the chair behind Mike and sat down, shaki

At the mention of his son, Mike looked disturbed and hastily lowered his head. โNo, no, of course not! Donโt forget that youโve promised me. If anything were to happen to my son, Iโll do whatever it takes to ruin your experiment!โThe man was threatened, but instead of being angry he smiled and laughed. โGood! Iโm glad youโre aware of what I could do. Mike, youโve tried to search for your son dozens of times behind my back, havenโt you? Have you found him yet?โMikeโs shoulders shuddered, and his hands on both sides quietly clenched into fists. However, he remained silent.He pressed his lips tightly together and kept his head low without saying a word, determined not to make a response.Of course, the man did not care if he responded and just smirked as he said, โIf so, you know what the organization and I are capable of, and a puny businessman like you is no match for us, not even Alexander. Therefore, I advise you to do what I say, or I can't promise that your son will be safe.

โOf course.โ His drawl was tinged with impatience, and he hung up.A sneer formed on his lips. โThese academics are far from noble, and all they care about is fame and fortune. Iโm, however, different. My goal is to take over the world.โHe stood up and went to the window to look down at the sizable research facility. Everyone down there was busy working according to his wishes. โSoon, everyone in here, Hyderland, and even the whole world would yield to me!โโฆIt was a rare moment for the family of three to enjoy their time together.Lily felt like a century had passed as she watched Alexander carry their son on his shoulder from room to room, and then from the upstairs to the downstairs. Galen had a happy look on his face.She had been through a lot lately, having worked successively at two different research centers, where her life was consumed by viruses and experiments.Although she had learned herbal medicine from Dominic for many years, it was the first time she was so dee

The caller did not speak when the call connected. Lily said hello but did not get a response. She thought there was a problem with her phone and was about to hang up when she vaguely heard something.It was not a voice but a messy background noiseโwind blowing and faint honks.Puzzled, Lily looked at the phone screen and confirmed it was an unknown number. It was a local one. However, when she put the phone to her ear again, she heard nothing. โHello? Please say something.โStill, there was no answer.Alexander noticed something was off and looked at Lily. โWhatโs wrong?โLily shook her head. She planned to wait another 30 seconds before regarding it as a prank call and hanging up if she received no replies. As she lost her patience, a slightly urgent female voice echoed, โLily!โโTasia?โ Lily was surprised to hear her voice and wondered if it was inconvenient for her to talk. โAre you all right? Where are you? Is it inconvenient to talk? Is this your number? How about I call you

Lily did not turn Alexander down as it would be more convenient with him around.The two were people of action and went to Rollinโs house the following morning, but the servants did invite them inside. โSorry, Secretary Rollins is unwell. Do come again next time,โ the servant said courteously.It was Alexanderโs first time not getting invited into the house. Although he had not visited Cameron frequently, he never had trouble entering the house, unlike Fabian.The husband and wife exchanged a look as it was expected and reasonable. Cameron was no longer his old self, so it was not surprising that he refused to meet his guests.โSince heโs not feeling well, itโs all the more reason for him to meet us. My wife is a herbal medicine practitioner and might be able to treat Secretary Rollinโs illness,โ Alexander said, โPlease also tell Secretary Rollins that I have something to say to him about the vaccine project.โThe servant hesitated, seemingly put on the spot. However, as Alexander

The two looked at each other in surprise. It was not what they had expected.What Cameron needed most now was what Rhea used to control him. With her dead, he should want to meet the person with the stuff he wanted. Yet, he insisted on chasing them away instead.โCan you please ask him again? Tell him itโs Mr. and Mrs. Russellโโ After some thought, Lily tried to give the servant a more specific instruction. However, the servant shut the door before she could finish.โPlease leave. Secretary Rollins is not seeing anyone today.โ The door banged shut unceremoniously.There was no need to give the servant such instructions as Alexander was no stranger to them. It showed that the servant did it purposely if he had refused the coupleโs entry despite knowing them.โHeyโฆโ Lily wanted to knock on the door, but Alexander held her wrist to stop her. He gently shook his head, then directed her to look aside with his eyes.Puzzled, she looked in the direction he was staring and saw a piece of

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
