Ch. 2441..2450

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 2441-Cameron did not need to continue, as the others knew what he meant.

If the public found out who was behind the pandemic or where it originated, it would condemn Yudonia's reputation. Of course, the Yudonians would not admit it. Still, the pandemic had caused such a havoc that they could not dismiss the outcry.

Condemnation alone would overwhelm them. Moreover, it would affect public opinion and shake the Yudonians' trust in Yasmin. It would lead to her losing the needed support to rule her country.

Indeed, it was an excellent plan from Carmeron's perspective.

After some hesitation, Mike asked, “Will the government be willing to help?"

The others wondered similarly. They knew exposing the matter would have significant benefits.

However, they had many things to consider. If it were that easy, the Hyderland government would have done it long ago.

Firstly, they needed evidence. After all, concrete proof was necessary in a lawsuit, let alone a considerable case like this. Secondly, they needed to consider the ties between the two countries, their chain reaction, and their side effects.

If they upset Yasmin, it would affect the relationship and trade between the two countries. Besides, even if Yudonians became discontented with the queen, they would still hate Hyderland for causing public outcry against their country.

Still, it was hard to tell whether or not the queen had other supporters.

"The government is still considering and will make the best decision." Cameron nodded and said, "I heard about your son's situation, and we'll provide you with some support. However, we hope you won't do anything you aren't supposed to."

Mike looked at him in shock. Although Cameron hinted subtly, the message was clear. The government knew he had found a way to smuggle firearms into the country.

They also knew Yasmin had firearms but had to be discreet, considering her status and the fact that she was in Hyderland in secret.

Nonetheless, it was time for the queen to leave.

"I got it," Mike said, nodding solemnly. If not for Alexander's sake, Mike knew Cameron could have waited and arrested Mike after receiving the weapons.

The subtle hint served as a kind warning.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 2442-Mike understood everything. After all, he only wanted to take a risk for his son’s sake.

Alexander looked at him intensely and said, “I understand how you feel, but you won’t gain the upper hand even if you fight them. Who knows, they might do something drastic if you agitate them.” Alexander’s meaning was evident. Meanwhile, Mike clenched his fist and grunted, saying nothing more.

“As for your plan,” Cameron said as he turned to Lily, “I don’t favor it either. I know you’re all highly skilled physicians and that you’re doing it for the country and the boy. However, I think simulating death is too risky, especially after talking to Dr. Blanc about it.” Cameron then looked at Dominic, adding, “Although I’m not a professional, I know we can’t risk it, even if there’s a one-in-a-thousand chance of failure. You know who she is, right? If she dies for real, you and Hyderland will face unimaginable consequences.

“Even if Yasmin doesn’t die for real, others won’t know about it. What can we do if it leads to misunderstandings?” Cameron sighed, asking, “Don’t you agree, Mr. Dominic?” Dominic nodded. “Actually, I’m not in favor of it either. You’re right that it’s risky, but there’s no other better way.” “That’s because there’s not much you guys can do!” Cameron raised his voice and propped himself against the table to stand up slowly. “The truth is I’ve already requested to visit Yudonia in two days.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates… “You’re going to Yudonia?” Alexander was shocked.

“That’s right.” Cameron nodded. “Now that Queen Yasmin, Prince Ross, and the duke aren’t around, they’ll report to her even though I’ll be visiting other people.

“They’ll be anxious to go back. They will also wonder about the purpose of my visit. That’s why I’m making the trip,” Cameron spoke casually with an authoritative air.

As it was an official visit, he would have other affairs to attend to. Still, he did not need to tell the others about it.

Lily thoughtfully said, “You’re right. Doing that will disrupt their plan and force them to mobilize.” “No one knows the situation there better than me, and no one can sway Queen Yasmin like me. Besides…” After a pause, Lily continued, “If she believes in the experiment, she won’t hurt me, at least not physically.” Coոtent of Drąmanovеls.com He did not know if the queen would keep Lily alive then.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 2443-Alexander wanted to say something, but Lily interrupted, “Say no more, okay?

I’ve made up my mind. Besides, there is no better solution.” They would have done it if there was any. The truth was that they had done their best.

Lily continued, “I’ve told Queen Yasmin that I would be creating a new drug that can regenerate cells to prolong life. She believes it, at least for now. I’ll just go back and continue the research. Then I’ll get her to stop the R10 experiment.” Austin said, “Even if she believes it, she’ll need to test the drug on someone.

She might even use it on you if she’s suspicious of you.” Since Yasmin was suspicious by nature, Austin’s worries were reasonable.

Before Lily could reply, someone suddenly said, “I’ll go.” Surprised, they looked toward Mike. He held up a hand, adamant as he said, “Let me go with you.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates… He looked over his shoulder at the hesitant Lily. Mike blandly said, “Since the experiment will need a test subject, I’ll volunteer.” “Mike, do you know what you’re talking about? It’s not a joke!” Austin said despite himself.

As Lily had said, she had only made up the experiment to fool Yasmin. No one knew what would happen if the queen wanted to test it on someone.

“I know,” Mike smiled, saying, “Lily clarified it just now, but that’s why I need to go. I can be the test subject if I do. What if Queen Yasmin wants to test the drug on Lily if I don’t go?” “Of course, as Lily still has to continue with the research, the queen might consider another candidate. I doubt they’ll sacrifice their own people, so the one becoming the test subject will most likely be…” After all, they had abducted him to make him a test subject. They did not care what experiment they tested on him.

Everyone fell silent.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 2444-“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,” Austin said despite himself.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates… Deep down, he admired Mike for being such a good father.

“I know. I’ll listen to Lily and will never act on my own,” Mike said, nodding.

Since everyone had agreed, Alexander turned to look at Lily, concerned. “So, when do you plan to leave?” “As soon as possible. If not, the queen might get suspicious,” she said, “I’ll pack and leave immediately.” Alexander could not help but ask, “So soon?” Although he saw it coming, he could not bear to see his wife leave so soon.

“Well, Queen Yasmin must be in a fit now, and God knows what she’ll do. If she proceeds with the experiment recklessly, it’ll be too late.” After a pause, Lily said, “I might be able to stop her if I go back now.

Cameron nodded slightly. “You’re right.” Lily could delay Queen Yasmin’s plan. Also, the latter would be anxious to return to Yudonia when she inevitably found out about Cameron’s visit. It was the perfect moment to buy time.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 2445-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 down. He also nervously shook his legs.

“I’m sure you’ll see Nicky soon, okay? Try to relax,” Lily spoke gently.

Mike looked at her intensely and pressed his feet to the floor to stop himself from shaking them. Although heBooks Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates… seemed more relaxed, Lily could see his stiff expression twitch slightly.

She could only sigh, knowing Mike could not help but feel nervous.

The duo sat in the room for a while, but no one checked on them or even brought them to see the queen.

Mike grew increasingly anxious and stood up. “What’s up with this? Why don’t they just take us to the queen?” “Take it easy,” Lily said, “They are playing mind games with us. They have no idea why I came back, so they must be trying to test us. I’m sure we’ll see Nick soon.” After a pause, she said, “Since they’re not taking us to see the queen now, we should just get some rest.” She then closed her eyes. She knew that the place had surveillance cameras and listening devices, and Yasmin was watching them now. She did not want to appear weak to the old woman.

Still, it was hard for Mike to calm himself down. Since he had promised to listen to Lily, he thought for a moment and sat back down to pour himself a glass of water. After taking a few sips, he felt less anxious and closed his eyes.

It was so quiet, as if they had both fallen asleep.

‘Didn’t they return to rescue the boy? How are they so calm? They might be putting on an act.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 2446-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 gently, “Wait for me here.” Mike knew he could do nothing more and could only look on as Lily left with Rick. Mike said, “Be careful.” Lily smiled and followed Rick away. They soon reached the queen’s bedroom.

Rick then knocked and opened the door. “Your Majesty.” “Let her in,” Yasmin said blandly.

Rick turned and signaled for Lily to enter. After closing the door, Rick stood guard outside.

Lily entered and saw the queen sitting in her wheelchair on the balcony. As the window was open, the curtains swayed in the wind. Lily headed over and closed the window a bit, saying, “It’s getting pretty cold and windy.” Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates… “Well, based on your decades of experience, I’m sure you know if I’m right.” Lily held the wheelchair and looked up at Yasmin, asking, “Aren’t you wondering why I returned?” New chąpter avąilable oո Drамanоvels.coм Yasmin snorted. “For the boy, of course.” She knew Lily could not stay away as long as she had Nick.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 2447-“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, “Don’t be angry. I’m not here to upset you. I’m back because I want things to develop in the best possible direction. Although the public doesn’t know you’re in Hyderland, do you think our government wouldn’t have found out about it? After all, you’ve stayed for so long.” The queen was alarmed.

Lily continued, “They simply haven’t taken action out of courtesy. What do you think will happen if you continue staying here and inflicting your will? Besides, don’t you care about your country anymore?” “Enough. What are you trying to say?” Yasmin took a deep breath and said impatiently, “Do you want me to stop the R10 experiment?”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates… “You won’t.” Lily shook her head. “You’ve poured in too much effort for so long. I doubt you’ll give it up.” “I’m glad you know that.” After a pause, Yasmin said, “If you help me complete the experiment, I’ll do my best to fulfill all your other requests.” The queen was willing to make compromises on matters not concerning the R10 experiment to make it up to Lily. If not, the former would have killed Lily long ago.

“Then free the boy,” Lily said tentatively, cocking her head.

Yasmin stiffened. “You know he’s part of the experiment.” Yasmin sneered. “Well, so have you.” She could no longer trust anyone after being betrayed by so many people.

Besides, she had learned that it was challenging to get people to remain loyal to her at her age.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 2448-“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 again?"

After some silence, Yasmin turned back to Lily and stared at her. "Are you serious?"

There was irrepressible longing in the older woman’s eyes, along with deep suspicion. Meanwhile, Lily shifted her gaze to the queen’s legs and stepped closer before crouching.

Yasmin shook when Lily gently placed a hand on her knee. The queen could feel nothing but was desperate to get up.

Without a word, Lily tapped and pressed the queen’s legs several times. She repeated the process at different spots before stopping and looking up at Yasmin.

"How are they?" The queen’s voice trembled slightly.

"Your legs have been numb for many years, haven’t they?" Lily asked softly.

"But it was a gradual loss of sensation, not a sudden one."

"Yeah, you’re right!" Yasmin nodded repeatedly and could not help but press her legs. "So?"

"I can stimulate your nerves through acupuncture, and you will gradually regain sensation. However, it won't happen overnight," Lily said.

How long will it take?" Yasmin grasped the sides of her legs.



Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 2449 -"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 as she did when she was young. However, getting up and moving around without crutches was something to look forward to.

"I'll give you the three days. What else do you need?" Yasmin sounded more relaxed as she became cheerful.

"About Nick—"

The queen stiffened again when she heard that name. "You know that's not possible. Stop making that request.” "I only wanted to ask if he was okay. Can you let him meet his dad?" Lily added, "I'm not asking you to release him.” "What? That's it?" Yasmin was puzzled.

"Of course. I doubt you'll let Nick go. Honestly, Mike came just to see his son.

The two haven't seen each other for too long," Lily continued, "Mike's also willing to take Nick's place as the test subject."

"He…" Yasmin was stunned as she sighed. Seemingly thinking of something, she spoke emotionally, "Even so, not everyone can be a replacement. Some things are irreplaceable, after all."

"Also, I have another request," Lily added.

The queen grew upset. "Don't push it."

Lily said, "I'll start the acupuncture treatment right away if you agree."

Really?" Yasmin looked at her suspiciously.

"Well, I'm right here," Lily added, "I have my tools with me, too."

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 2450-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 stop, and I didn't want it to affect our relationship. Besides, our country still needs us, so I decided to send him back."

"But I couldn't reach his phone." Lily was baffled.

Even if he was overseas, the group should still be able to reach him. That was why they thought the queen had detained Ross.

"I'm not sure why. I was mad that day, but I sent him back to Yudonia immediately." The queen took a deep breath and said, "So, are you happy with my answer? Can you treat me now?"

After some thought, Lily nodded. "Of course."

She then wheeled Yasmin to a more suitable spot and knelt on one knee. She then spread out her tools and began the treatment. The queen felt nothing as Lily inserted one needle after another.

However, the older woman gradually relaxed as she watched Lily's severe and focused expression. Yasmin was desperate to walk around since she had not been able to get up for so many years. Even a walk to the stately garden would be a blessing to her.

After a while, Lily finished inserting the needles. "I'll pull them out later. You may feel soreness in your waist tonight. The sensation will slowly move downward and spread. If you feel uncomfortable, use a warm towel to cover yourself. If it doesn't help, let me know."

Lily instructed her seriously, and the queen nodded, subconsciously touching her waist. The latter could feel nothing below the waist.

Yasmin looked at her needle-covered legs and then at Lily, gently asking, "If— and I mean if—R10 works and I can transfer my consciousness to your body, does that mean your consciousness will disappear?

“Does that mean the new Lily, which will be me, won't have medical skills like you do?"
