As the workers moved the new equipment into the studio, Lily was on the sidelines taking inventory, somewhat distracted.

Olivia was busy at work and moving around. She loved the new studio, not just because it was ideal, but because it belonged wholly to them, and they could do anything they wanted.

“Put this over here and that over there. Hey, be gentle, okay?” Olivia was in high spirits as she instructed the workers. She looked over at Lily and found her holding a pen and a notepad without writing anything, seemingly in a daze.

“Lily, what’s the matter?” She waved. “You’ve zoned out for quite some time.”

Lily caught herself. “Oh, I’m fine. Is everything here and accounted for?”

“Almost. The equipment is complete, and we have more stuff here than at our last workplace. Most of the tools here are the latest and have truly amazing designs.” Olivia was too satisfied with the studio and could not stop singing her praises.

“Well, I initially thought the stuff we had was complete, but

    “The hospital.” Jenny got straight to the point. “I mean, you should verify it, right? At least you’ll know what to do.” After a moment of silence, Lily said quietly, “I didn’t go to the hospital.”“You were afraid to? Do you want my company? This is so unlike you, though. No matter what, it’s better to know, right?” Lily bit her lower lip. “It’s not that. I already tested it myself.” Jenny asked immediately, “Then? Are you really… pregnant?”The answer was obvious in Lily’s hesitant expression.“Yes.” Lily nodded her head. She felt conflicted since knowing about it, and her thoughts were a mess. “Oh my God! That means I’m supposed to…” Jenny paused to think before saying, “…congratulate you?” Under normal circumstances, Jenny would congratulate her, but now that Lily had just started her studio and had begun accepting orders. Being pregnant meant giving up all of that. Should Jenny congratulate her or lament that the child had come at the wrong time? “I have no idea

    Since production at the studio had only just begun, there was little to do. Lily spent a few days deliberating over the series theme, and that was just for Lisa's order. She could only begin developing the fragrance once she settled on a theme and basic concept.In the early afternoon, Lily suggested that Olivia go home and rest while she stayed around to tie up some loose ends and outline the preliminary concept for Lisa's order.She sat for nearly an hour trying to think of solutions, but all she could think about was whether she should give up the child or her job.In the meantime, she could not stop twiddling the piece of wood Benedict had given her because of how it smelled. Interestingly, its scent was not strong but had steadily lingered for a long time.“Your business hasn’t even started officially. Do you have to work so hard?” Having the key to the studio, Alexander went straight in and saw her zoning out. Lily was surprised. “Why are you here? Got off work early?”“I’

    Lily stared up at him, unable to respond. “Frankly speaking, I’m not patient, and children are troublesome. However, I’d be looking forward to them if they were our own.” He held her hand and asked, “Why? Do you want a child now?”Gazing into his eyes, Lily wanted to let out a sigh. Whether she wanted the child or not, it was already here. Having her hands held between his, they felt warm, and she gradually relaxed. After all, he was the one who had made her feel safe for over a year. He had a right to know, just as Jenny had emphasized earlier.She gulped and mustered her courage. “I have something to tell you.”“Yes?”“I might be…” She paused and chose her words carefully. “I might be… I might be pregnant.”Having said it out loud, she felt a sudden relief. She looked nervously at him, anticipating his response. To her surprise, Alexander was neither shocked nor overjoyed. His response appeared overly calm as if he was listening to stories that had nothing to do with him.

    Lily felt like a fool when she realized her husband had known about it but said nothing until she revealed it. She looked away, upset.Alexander held her shoulders, turned her over to face him, and said earnestly, no longer smiling, “I did find out yesterday, but I thought since you hadn’t told me, you must not have decided anything. I’d rather hear it from you than me asking about it.”Lily said nothing and slowly returned her gaze to him.“The fact you didn’t tell me right away shows you have either been struggling to have the child or mixed feelings about it. No matter what, you had your reason for not telling me. Still, I’m glad you decided to tell me so soon.” He truly loved and respected Lily beyond her imagination.Hearing this, Lily felt there was nothing to be upset about. She only thought she should have told him right away and that deciding with him was the best option.“So, what do you want to do?” Alexander asked her, shaking his head, “I should be asking you instead.

    That’s right, She loved the child and the child’s father. She even loved what destiny had planned, which was ill-timed yet perfect for her. Love was a simple enough reason to outweigh the cons.“I’m unprepared and a bit afraid to take the huge responsibility of being a mother, but I can learn to be a great one. If the child is here, it’s destiny, and I don’t want to take its life for my own selfish reasons.”Her words moved Alexander so much that he embraced her. “You’ll be a terrific mother. The best mom in the whole wide world!”… Noah Richards was having his meal while most of the patrons in the buffet restaurant ate in pairs or with their families, but he was the only one having his meal alone, with not much food on his plate and a bottle of red wine before him.He sat by the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at the city, enjoying the view. However, his enjoyment was short-lived as the click-clack of high heels stopped near him, followed by a crisp voice. “Mr. Richards, enj

    “I’m a friend and not an enemy.” Arianna lifted her gaze and stared at Noah quietly.Noah snorted. “Tons of people want to be my friends. Are you even qualified to be one?”“You’d be the judge of that.” Arianna put down the tongs, removed her phone from her handbag, and tapped the screen a few times.Noah’s phone on the table vibrated.Arianna put down her phone and grilled more meat as if without a care in the world.Noah looked at her and then at his phone. He picked it up to see what she had sent.“The information is my gift. When we become friends, I’ll have a bigger one in store for you,” As she spoke, she put the piece of grilled meat onto the plate in front of Noah.Noah opened the document containing detailed information on Lily. He browsed through it and found the report to be very comprehensive.“This is it?” He revealed a look of disdain instead. “I can easily find tons of information like this. Do you think I would need your help in obtaining it?”“Of course, you c

    ‘Aren’t girls from rich families supposed to speak with decorum? Despite her innocent smile, this woman speaks rather boldly.’Noah laughed at her flirtatious remark. Many women threw themselves at him, but it was rare to meet someone so straightforward. “If I recall correctly, I don’t know you very well, and this could be the first time we’ve met. Despite that, you say you want me?” Leaning forward, he met her gaze. “What do you want me for? Fame? Status? Or… my body?”“I want them all,” she purred.“You’re greedy, aren’t you?” Noah loosened up his body. “Besides, do you think your information can get you that much?”“The information is not enough, of course. However, it can be a good start for both of us. If we’re together, we can find ourselves in many win-win situations in the future.” Hiding nothing, she let her desires show through her gaze. “Win-win situations?”“From what I know, although the Richards family call the shots in Kingsland, you put your efforts elsewhere.

    Since Lily had decided to keep the baby, she needed to get a thorough checkup at the hospital and find out if the baby would be affected by her exposure to chemicals before she was pregnant.After accessing her file, performing a urine test, and having an ultrasound, Lily's heart calmed down. She had already decided to keep the child, and she knew Alexander was with her. Even more unexpectedly, she felt like a mother already, and she was slowly adjusting to her new role."Lily."When her name was called, the doctor pushed up his glasses with the report in his hand. "You’re not pregnant."Lily, whose smile was ready to declare, "I want to keep it," instead responded with, "What?""The ultrasound states that you’re not pregnant," After speaking, he handed the report to her.She was a little confused and took the report. Seeing the data series, not everything was easy to understand, but it was still obvious whether she was pregnant or not."I’m not?"Alexander, on the side, was ca

    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
