"You've worked hard." Mike nodded. This was the first time he acknowledged what she said. He hated Rhea because she was vicious, scheming, and had no boundaries. Her heart was as black as coal. However, she had indeed worked very hard.

Mike could see the efforts she had put in regarding experimenting. Regardless of whether he had woken up early or gone to bed late, he noticed she was always in the laboratory, experimenting all day and night.

Rhea was either reading books or looking up information. He had never seen another woman that was as hardworking as her.

"Then, why is God so unfair?!" She slammed her hands onto the table, venting her dissatisfaction.

‘I worked so hard but failed, while Lily casually…’

"Hard work is nothing in the face of a prodigy," Mike said.

"Huh?!" Rhea suddenly turned her head to look at him with surprise.

Mike breathed a sigh of relief before saying, "Yes, you’re hardworking and talented, but there will always be an inherent gap between gifted individ

    “Although none of the workers here are loyal to the organization, at least we wanted the experiment to work, unlike you and Lily, who came here to sabotage the experiment. Who else would have done it besides you two?”“It’s pointless to make false accusations.” Mike turned around, not wanting to continue the conversation.‘I don’t care if she did find out about it or is simply trying to trick me—it’s just a waste of time arguing with her.’“It doesn’t matter anymore since the organization has abandoned the boss. Now that the experiment has worked, you, me, the boss, we’re all expendable.” Rhea suddenly burst into laughter.As if she had just said the funniest thing in the world, she laughed so hard that she half-collapsed on the table.Mike was somehow affected by what she said.‘She’s right. Now that the experiment has succeeded, everyone has become expendable.’He could not help but feel a profound sorrow, realizing he had failed to determine what the organization was truly up

    Rhea glanced at Mike’s hands and exclaimed coldly, “Get your hands off me!”She looked fierce after dropping her smile.Mike loosened his grip but did not let go. “Rhea, what’s the experiment’s last step? Haven’t we completed it?”He subconsciously looked toward the computer. Although he could not understand what was on the screen, he roughly knew what it was about.‘Doesn’t the data indicate the experiment’s success? Why would Rhea and Lily say the experiment has worked if it doesn't?’Rhea followed his line of sight and looked toward the screen before chuckling. “Do you think the experiment is about creating the product?”“It’s not?” Mike noticed her staring coldly at his hands and quickly let her go while softening his tone, “I’d like to know exactly what you’re talking about.”“Must I tell you? We’re not on good terms, aren’t we?” Rhea asked.Mike knew they almost resembled enemies. However, he also knew they had no reason to hate each other so profoundly. Besides, their fa

    Rhea blurted those words despite herself. Mike was shocked by what he just heard.Rhea tried to leave, but Mike seized her. “Don’t go yet! What kind of vessel are you talking about? Didn’t you put the test tubes in the container? Why would they still need a vessel?”He was utterly confused.“Just forget about what I said.” Rhea was reluctant to elaborate further and struggled to break free.However, Mike held her tightly, determined to get an answer. “Rhea, do you think the higher-ups will let you off the hook now that you’ve revealed their secret? Tell me what vessel you’re talking about!”Irritated, Rhea stopped and turned around to look at him. “Mike, are you that dumb? You’ve been around here for so long. Haven’t you met R16, R14, R8, and others? Why are you asking the obvious?”Mike was stunned and recalled the tortured faces of those test subjects. He had goosebumps just thinking about them. “You’re saying…”“I’m saying you should think harder. I’ve got nothing to add if y

    After Lily got changed, she went outside and saw Rick already waiting. He was evident;y not worried she would seize the opportunity to escape. After all, it was hard for her to do so since she was heavily pregnant.Still, Lily rolled her eyes and sighed. “What a bummer! I thought I could get away.”“Come with me!” Rick did not want to waste time talking to her and turned to lead the way.Lily followed behind steadily and peered at the box in his hand. “Why are you so sure it’ll work today? What if it doesn’t? Are you going to kill me?”Rick did not answer. He did not even slow his pace as if he had not heard her.Lily pouted, saying, “Aren’t we going to see the higher-ups? Who are they anyway? How do you usually communicate with them? I don’t see any special communication devices here.“Are you staying silent because you fear revealing a secret, or is someone watching you? Is there an even more advanced listening device somewhere? If the product fails due to unstable performance…

    Since Lily was familiar with scents, she immediately knew it would make her lose consciousness. Surely enough, it soon did.…Mike floored the gas pedal as he drove. He was too anxious and could not care less about his safety.The other workers in the laboratory did not know the experiment had worked, and they were still conducting their daily experiments. Only Mike knew it was a state of emergency now. He called Alexander again, but no one picked up.‘How can you not answer your phone at this crucial moment, Alex?!’Mike did not know Alexander was overwhelmed at the moment. Dominic’s symptoms were worsening again, and Austin could not handle his granduncle alone. Simultaneously, Galen developed a slight fever again while all the servants in the estate began experiencing worsening symptoms.Moreover, Alexander’s guards were outside guarding the place, so they did not know what was happening inside.Mike floored the gas pedal to Alexander’s office building. He thought Alexander w

    “What about Lily?” Mike asked, worried. He was ashamed about not knowing where she was and that she was in a dangerous situation despite promising Alexander he would protect Lily.“What else can you do besides return to the research facility?” Alexander asked, “Are you able to locate and rescue her?”“I…” Mike was stumped.Alexander said grimly, “I’ll find her. Return to the research facility now and ensure nothing harmful gets out of there!”He was angry but knew it would not do him any good.‘What matters most now is to solve the problem. There’s no use losing my temper, is there?’Mike guiltily grunted a yes, then suddenly thought of something. “Oh, yeah! Has Edward returned yet?”“Edward?” Alexander was puzzled.“You don’t know?” Mike knew from Alexander’s response that he probably was unaware of what had happened. However, as it was not a time for small talk, he only told Alexander about meeting Edward in the facility without going into the details.Alexander answered, “I

    “No, no!” Galen waved his tiny hands, reluctant. He had seldom been to Margaret’s house. Although he only had vague memories of those trips, he knew the place was so far away that he had to sleep for hours before getting there.Furthermore, it was boring there, and Margaret was not good at entertaining children. As a result, Galen felt uneasy with her. Children’s intuition was sharp, so it would be challenging to be close to someone if they did not like that person.Since Galen was unwilling, Alexander did not want to make him go against his wish. Besides, he knew going there would delay his plan as Margaret lived far away.“Then…”“I’ll stay here and look after Grandpa Dom!” Galen jumped off the chair and said confidently.Alexander chuckled. “Are you sure?”“Yes! Mommy says I will grow up to be someone capable like you, Daddy!” Galen cocked his head and recalled what his mother had told him.Alexander was surprised at how much his son had grown and how he could express himself

    “But it’s quite risky for you to leave here. What if—”Before Austin could finish, Alexander interrupted him, “How much longer will the world be safe?”Austin was at a loss for words.Alexander said solemnly, “The situation is changing every day. Besides, even Dominic says symbiotes might not cause the disease, and we aren’t even sure what kind of pathogens it is. However, more unknown pathogens will soon spread if we don’t solve the problem. Then it’ll be even harder to deal with the situation!”Austin noticed his somber expression and lowered his hands from trying to stop Alexander. He knew the mysterious and vicious organization was not only researching one type of pathogen. Also, the variety and complexity of these biological weapons were beyond his imagination.He was shocked when he learned about the experiments the organization was trying to do. He also knew Alexander had much more information than him.“I know you’re under a lot of pressure. All of us are.” Alexander gent

    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
