“Now that Fred thinks you’ve left Kingsland, he’s likely to make a move soon,” Alexander said as he placed his hands on the coffee table. "He did nothing before this. Although Lily would be safe for a while, we couldn't do anything for her. As long as he does something, I'm sure we'll be able to locate her."

He could only wish that things would happen the way he wanted.

Ross said as he raised a brow, "I'm curious. Why the hell are they holding your wife captive?

"So that the queen can live on forever?" Alexander shrugged.

"And how would that be possible?"

"We feel the same way, but some believe in the experiment." Alexander sighed.

'It's a difficult position for the prince to be in, isn't it?' he pondered, 'On the one hand, he doesn't want anything bad to happen to his mother. On the other, if the queen truly lives forever, how will he deal with it? He’ll grow old while his mother stays young and continues to rule the country till the day he dies.’

Mike asked worriedly, "Your

    "Your Highness, I think the duke didn’t do all these for the queen, at least not entirely," Edward said seriously."Oh?" Ross asked curiously, "What makes you think that?""I spent some time in the lab and suffered at their creation. Fred did all this for something even more ambitious than achieving eternal life." After a pause, he continued, "If it's just for eternal life, they wouldn’t have to conduct experiments besides R20. Besides…" Edward then looked toward Mike and said, "As Mr. Corden is also aware, there are many poisonous plants and drugs in the lab, and they wouldn't be useful in achieving eternal life. That's why I say he isn’t doing this just for the queen." Ross nodded thoughtfully, thinking that what Edward said made sense. "It does add up, but why would Fred want to conduct the experiments in Hyderland where the risks are much higher? Why choose here?"If it was true Fred was doing this behind the queen's back, he could have done it in Yudonia, where it was more

    Though a little startled, Austin quickly explained, "A servant from the estate called and told me some foreigners took Uncle Dom away."The servants were not sure who those people were, but it was clear their employer had been forced into leaving with them. Knowing they had to alert someone, the first person that came to mind was Austin.Although Austin was not exactly Dominic's student, the servants considered him to be one of them because he was their employer's grandnephew and had lived with them for a while. Most importantly, he was popular among the servants as he had cured them. When Austin received the news, he immediately had a clue and came to find Alexander. "Foreigners?" Alexander thought of someone as well. "Do you also think it's Fred?" Austin asked as if he had read Alexander’s mind. "I think so." Alexander nodded. "But why would he want to abduct Dominic? Could it be for the experiment, too?”Although the experiment needed all kinds of experts, they would not

    Austin and Ross were acting like old friends. "I should’ve told you I've known Prince Ross for a long time. We got acquainted when I was studying abroad.”Austin said to Ross laughingly, "I'm pleasantly surprised to see you! When did you get here? You should’ve told me you were coming." Ross laughed heartily. "I’m only here for a short business trip, so I didn’t call you. To think I'd meet you here!" He gave Austin another hug. The other three men shared a surprised look. Nobody expected Austin to be the prince's old pal."You can say that again!" Austin took a seat beside Ross. "How are your headaches?""Since you treated me two years ago, I've felt much better. I do have some trouble sleeping, though." Now that Austin was here, Ross was now much more relaxed.Austin sighed. "You have so many things to worry about, and you hold yourself to high standards. If I were you, I'd have trouble sleeping too.""You're making fun of me again, Aust!" Ross laughed. The atmosphere bec

    One or two failures seemed reasonable, but Rhea’s experiments seemed to have failed too often. Back in the laboratory, Austin thought she was talented. However, he later discovered she was better at improving others’ work, while her individual research typically failed. Rhea did not develop the drug that tormented Austin and the virus in Burnwken, while the ones used on Cameron and Edward were. In the latter two cases, her experiments had failed.She was unable to control Cameron fully, and he even regained his volition. It was also the same with Edward. Interestingly, Rhea's research had always been about mind control. She seemed to enjoy the thrill of manipulating others but had never succeeded.Austin could not help but wonder why she was obsessed with it. He looked at Ross and asked, “So, she doesn’t know her hypnosis has failed?”Ross nodded. "She thinks it worked."Austin shook his head and chuckled. After some thought, he asked, "Does my granduncle's abduction have som

    Alexander remained silent while Ross and Mike shook their heads, thinking both their suspicions were unlikely. After some consideration, Alexander asked, "Is it possible Dom went to treat Lily?"The four men thought it was highly probable. "Fred looked healthy when I left. As for my mom, she has her own doctors. I doubt Fred would do such a thing for her. It makes more sense if Dominic did it for his favorite student,” Ross voiced his opinion, and the others nodded in agreement.Still, Mike was puzzled. "But Lily has always been in good health, and she knows how to take care of herself. How did Lily suddenly fall sick? Even if she is, the embassy has many excellent doctors. Why would Fred risk approaching Dominic?"We won't find out unless we can get inside." Sighing, he felt the more they delved into the matter, the more troubled and bewildered they became. If they were right, then Lily should have a severe illness. Considering the risks, Fred would have never asked Dominic f

    Lying quietly in bed, Lily looked as if she was asleep. Her face was pale, and her breathing was slow. The electrocardiogram next to her showed that her heart rate was so slow that it might stop anytime. Dominic then realized why that foreign man had come looking for him. Since they had a use for her, they could not let Lily die. They must be at their wits' end and thus used the relationship between him and Lily to get him to come. "I'm sure you don't want your favorite student to die at such a young age, right?" Fred questioned in a mocking tone.Dominic did not even bother to glance at him. "Only you can save her now. If you fail, she's a goner." Fred shrugged, feigning indifference."Get out," Dominic finally said. Fred was taken aback. "Get out. I don't need you here." Dominic’s gaze was fixed upon Lily's face as if no one else was around.This blatant disregard and hostility upset Fred. Throughout Yudonia, he was second only to the queen in terms of power. Now that sh

    If Lily had died, all his efforts would have gone to waste, and there would have been no way to proceed with the last phase of R10."Your Grace…"The doctors were curious about why the wires and tubes were removed."Get out," Fred said grimly. "Your Grace—""Out!" The duke exploded in rage.The doctors quickly darted out of the room, leaving them alone once again. Fred turned to his bodyguard. "You too!"Taken aback, the bodyguard hesitated, then did as told. Dominic sat beside the bed and gently held Lily's wrist, trying to take her pulse. Fred once witnessed a pulse-taking before and knew how remarkable it was. Although it was hard to comprehend it from the viewpoint of mainstream medicine, it had somehow proven effective."Leave us," Dominic said coldly, throwing Fred a sidelong glance. Fred was reluctant. "You can save her, right?" He wanted to know for sure. For the past two days, the doctors had told him that there was no cure for Lily, so he did not have high

    Dominic placed his fingers gently on her wrist. He closed his eyes and looked like he was sleeping, but he was not. Frowning, he focused on her pulse. After a while, he removed his fingers and leaned in to examine her face. He lifted her eyelids, then felt her neck. Watching this through the surveillance cameras, Fred rested his chin in one hand, pensive. Although it did not look like it, Dominic was treating her.The earlier doctors had relied on all kinds of equipment to determine what illness one had, but alternative medicine practitioners did this through observation, asking questions, and taking wrist pulses. He was unsure if Dominic could save Lily, but there was no other way. After examining her, Dominic stood up. All he did was gaze at Lily. As Fred was bewildered, he watched Dominic open the bag he was carrying. It was a black, old-fashioned cloth sack. From it, Dominic took out a set of silver needles of different sizes and laid them out.Intrigued, Fred sat up straig

    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
