Rhea wanted to tell Fred to leave the surgery to her, but she could not bring herself to do it. Her fingers trembled as she thought, âHow am I supposed to perform such an intricate surgery alone?!âAs if sensing her concerns, Fred said, "Don't worry, I've arranged top-notch assistants for you." 'What the hell?' Rhea thought. 'Why doesn't he have them perform the surgery instead? If theyâre the best, why are they my assistants and not the other way around?' Although she had always thought highly of herself, her expertise was limited to research and development of drugs. Surgeries like these were not what she did best. "What's the matter? You can't handle it?" Fred asked somewhat unhappily after seeing her hesitance.Rhea gulped and said with a forced smile, "I'm honored you trust me so much, butâ" "That's all I need to hear." Fred raised a hand and interrupted her. He knew he would not like what she was about to say."Rhea, I know youâve performed brain surgeries before, and

"I don't want your best. I want your guarantee that it will succeed," Fred said as he stared at Rhea.She took a deep breath and nodded firmly. "I promise itâll be a success." Seeing Rheaâs confident look, Fred nodded. "Good. Keep up the spirit, okay?"He then lowered his head and said to a mouthpiece, "Is everything ready?"After receiving a reply, Fred nodded and looked up at Rhea and three other surgeons. "Please get ready and change into surgical gowns now."They went in deeper, and Rhea found a sterile room and an operating room, complete with all the surgical equipment necessary. Fred must have gone to great lengths to build this place in Hyderland in secret. When they put on their surgical caps and masks, Fred got changed and joined them too. As they were the only people around, Rhea threw him an inquiring look. Fred smiled." Don't worry. The test subjects will be here soon." He called the queen and Lily test subjects, but Rhea didn't see any problem with that. If sh

The queen looked toward Lily. Fred then instructed a guard to remove the latter's blindfold. Lily heard their conversation but chose to remain quiet. When her blindfolds came off, she squinted against the piercing light."All right, we're all set. The experiment can begin now," Fred said happily, clapping his hands.He then looked toward Lily. "Oh, considering the sacrifice you'll be making for the queen, I'll consider granting you a request if you have any." He smiled kindly."Let me go maybe?" Lily said as she looked up at him. "You know very well thatâs impossible." Shaking his head, Fred looked regretful. "How about something I can do instead? Like looking after your children, for example?" This served as both a tease and a threat, warning her not to struggle on account of her kids. Lily was perfectly capable of disrupting the experiment if she refused to cooperate, but she had to think about her family. As Fred said, although the Russells were powerful, they were no mat

Not expecting Fred to ask her to answer, Rhea was taken aback. "IâĶ""You heard the queen. What's the success rate?" Fred pushed her.Not knowing the answer, Rhea gritted her teeth and murmured, "Theoretically speakingâ""23 percent," Lily interrupted.Not knowing why Lily had said this, Rhea gave her a puzzled look. âDid she just pull out a random figure?'Without even a glance at Rhea, Lily added solemnly, "And this is only a rough estimation as the success also depends on the surgeons, the level of cooperation before the surgeon and attendants, the conditions of the test subjects, and so on.âTaking all these factors into consideration, the success rate could be as high as 45% or as low as less than 10 percent.âFred listened intently as if he had forgotten that Lily was the one about to undergo surgery, not the one performing it."You heard that?" the queen asked Fred in a grave tone."WellâĶ" Fred blinked, then caught himself. "Sheâs just bullshitting you so that youâd s

Fred said confidently, "Of course, Your Majesty. The experiment willâ" Before he could finish, the queen smiled and said, "Good. Since youâve said as much, I can stop worrying now.""You absolutely should!" Surprised that the queen would budge so easily, Fred thought she still trusted him as she used to. At the next moment, however, several guards walked in. Fred frowned. "Who told you to come in? Get out!"His words fell on deaf ears, and the guards encircled him. "Did you not hear me? Who do you work for?" Fred frowned. "Get the hell out of here, or Iâll kill you!""Do you think theyâll listen to you?" the queen said. Fred was puzzled for a moment before he caught on. "You arranged this?"The queen merely smiled in reply, but the answer was obvious. Fred laughed heartily. "No wonder you're so calm. I underestimated you, my dear queen." Making no retort, the queen merely sneered. "Do you really think they can stop me though?" Fred pointed at the men. "Your Majesty,

"If you must know, many of the officials are on my side. Just leave the country to me. It's time for you to enjoy your retirement," he said with a smile, finally revealing his ambition to rule Yudonia. The queen sneered. "Oh, yeah? Who are these people who are backing you?""Why? Do you plan to take them out?" Fred smiled. "It's a pity that you won't have the chance."Come now, Your Majesty. You could simply cooperate with me and share in the joy of success with me. Why must you make a scene?" Turning around, he pointed toward her men. "People will only treat you and your men as a joke."He then said to his guards cheerfully, "Guys, take them away, and don't let anyone come in here again without my permission! We're about to begin the greatest experiment ever done."However, his men stayed in their spot as if they hadn't heard him. Noticing Fred's upset look, Rhea scolded, "Hey, didn't you guys hear what the duke said? Seize them!" Hearing her words, the guards turned and poi

"You're too arrogant," the queen said indifferently.Holding onto the armrest of the wheelchair, she slowly sat upright, looking as fit as can be.Gaping, Fred caught on. "Youâve been pretending to be dying! You planned all this!" "That's right. Otherwise, would you have proceeded with the experiment so soon?" The queen smiled gently.Fred was terrified. "This canât be happening!" After all these years of careful planning and scheming, he couldn't believe the queen had uncovered his plot and prepared herself so well."As I said, you're too arrogant," the queen said, "As someone who has worked for me for so many years, you should know me better. Am I someone so gullible and easily manipulated? Do you think I've gotten senile?" Unable to accept his defeat, Fred was overwhelmed with emotions. Having expected this reaction, the queen said, "Do you think you'd be able to buy over my men so easily? You underestimate them and me. I wouldâve been killed a thousand times over if the

All his efforts had gone to waste just as he was about to achieve success."All right, the show's over for you." The queen sighed regretfully. "I gave you a chance, but you chose to betray me. You've truly let me down, Fred." As Fred had served her for many years, the queen wanted to show him mercy. However, since he had tried to replace her, she didnât have any other choice in the matter."This is all a mistake, Your Majesty. I've always told you that youâd stand to benefit from the experiment, haven't I? Yes, Iâve taken some wrong turns and gotten a bit greedy, but I only restricted your freedom and did all this for you!âThink about it. Why have I put so much effort into this?" Fred was unwilling to give up. "When the experiment succeeds, youâre going to be the one to live on forever. What do I have to gain from this?" "Cut the act, Fred!" Lilyâs cold voice interrupted him. "Youâre just using me and the queen as guinea pigs. If the experiment succeeds, youâll then repeat it a

Lily tilted her head up to fight back her tears, saying, âThereâs something I find strange.ââWhat is it?â Mike asked after comforting his son.âInstead of detaining Prince Ross, Her Majesty has sent him back to Yudonia. If so, why couldnât we reach him?âAfter some thought, Mike answered, âThere are two possibilities. Itâs probably due to poor signals, or he doesnât want us to contact him.âThe two shared a look, knowing what each other was wondering.âWhy canât we contact Ross? Is he planning something?ââĶThree days later, Lily inserted the last needle into the queenâs leg and looked up at her, saying, âYou should start feeling your legs tomorrow. Still, itâll take some time before you can stand.âSuddenly, Lily chuckled.âWhy are you laughing?â 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, âOf course, you wouldnât.ââThatâsâĶ quite a pity,â the queen murmured thoughtfully.âWell, thereâs a price to pay for everything. Thatâs how the world balances itself,â Lily continued, âI canât stop you if you must carry on with R10. Still, I wonât witness whether or not it succeeds. I just wish the outcome isnât something youâll regret.âLily 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 Yasminâs legs. âYour Majesty, those needlesââThe queen waved dismissively. âItâs okay. Lily will remove them later.âEven so, Rick was wary. âYouâre being too careless, Your Majesty. What if that womanâââShe wouldnât,â 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.âTell me. What do you want?â The queen took a deep breath to calm herself. She then reminded herself that she could always say no to Lilyâs 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 donât 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 wasnât sure if youâd blame him, but he did rescue me once. If I don't do anything, it would be ungrateful of me," Lily said gently, "Also, didnât 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.âThatâs it?!â 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.âI havenât felt my legs for over a decade. I wouldnât mind waiting for three more days.ââAre you sure I can get up and walk in just three days?â 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, âI canât guarantee that youâll walk as fast as you once could. After all, you havenât used your legs for a long time, and your muscles have atrophied. Still, youâll recover slowly.âYasmin nodded repeatedly, thinking it was good enough. She never dreamed of walking as well a

âBecause only our opinions matter." Lily thought of something and said, "Unless you choose to believe Rhea.""IâĶ don't trust anyone." Yasminâs 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? Youâve done enough as a queen over the last few decades. Arenât you tired of living a lonely life?âLily gently spoke as she gazed at Yasminâs back.The older woman caressed her knees with both hands and stared down at her legs, murmuring, âSightsee, huh? Iâve forgotten what thatâs like.âYasmin 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 Lilyâs suggestion.Lily asked, âWhat 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 couldnât 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 whoâs willing to die for him. If Mike decides to take drastic action against youâ Yes, you're a queen, and you don't care much about an insignificant businessman.âHowever, 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?""YouâĶ" 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, âBring Lily over. Iâd like to see what excuses that sly woman can come up with.â"Your Majesty?" Rick was puzzled. "You know she'll just lie to you. Why must youâ"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, âHer Majesty wants to see you.âLily 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. âYou stay.â"But we came together!" Mike glanced over his shoulder at Lily, signaling her to persuade the man. Rick added, "The queen doesnât 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 queenâs 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, âIf any of you go with her, they might stop or suspect you. They wonât do that to me. Itâs natural for me to want to see and rescue my son. Iâm the best candidate because it makes sense for me to sacrifice myself for him.âAfter a short silence, Lily said, âYouâre right.â She then looked at Alexander, who pondered before slowly raising his head and saying, âMe too.âDominic 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, âThanks, you guys!â"Why are you thanking us?
