Chapter 2431

"You're crazy! Even if you can rescue Nicky, you'll be arrested!" Austin said. "Or do you plan not to return to Hyderland ever again?""Why not?" Mike was not hesitant at all. "It doesn't matter where I go as long as I can keep my son safe.""I'll go with you then," Lily suddenly said.Everyone was shocked, including Mike. "You?" Mike caught himself and shook his head. "No, I don't need you. As I said, what I do has nothing to do with you guys. Just pretend you didn't hear what I said." He knew many people would get into trouble if he failed, but he was eager to save his son. The only way he would not implicate the others was by asking them to feign ignorance. "Don't be silly!" Lily approached Mike and patted his shoulder, saying, "How can you shoulder this alone? You all helped Alex rescue me and my children, didn't you? Besides, even if you have firearms and know the embassy’s layout, do you know where Nicky is?"Do you know there are secret passages? Do you know how many g

Chapter 2432

Mike choked up, saying, "No, you've helped enough. I wouldn’t even know where Nicky is if it weren't for you. I know how difficult it is to rescue him, so I don't blame you guys. I know I'm impatient, and I've lost my temper before, but I know it's not your fault."Mike would only blame the experiment and Fred. The fact that anyone would believe in such inhumane research was mind-boggling to him. "I don't expect Queen Yasmin to change her mind,” Lily said, "I've even tried to threaten her, but it didn't work."Dominic leaned into his chair and gently rocked in it, adding, “As I said, she’s obsessed with the experiment. Unless we can make her die once…”Everyone else stared at him. "What?" Wasn't he just talking about hypnosis?"Hey, what are you staring at me for? Lily had used it before. Ask her about it!" Dominic pointed his chin at his student. Lily caught on. "You're talking about simulated death?"The old man shook his head and said half-jokingly, "If the old gal truly

Chapter 2433

"You're not considering going back, are you?" Alexander looked at Lily, concerned. She smiled. "You know me best."Not just Alexander but everyone exclaimed in unison, “You shouldn’t! Mike said, "I'm worried about Nicky, but you just escaped. How can we let you go back to that hellhole?" He shook his head firmly. "No, I can't let you risk your life just because I want to rescue my son.""Don't say like that. It's not like I'm surely going to die," Lily said nonchalantly with a faint smile. "But you're taking too much of a risk!" Mike shook his head with a frown. "If anyone has to die, it should be me, no one else!"He could die for his son, but there was no reason for others to sacrifice their lives. Lily sighed and said, "I know what I'm doing. Besides, do you think I'll be safe if I don't go back? Will Queen Yasmin spare me? I’ll never be safe unless she gives up on the experiment.""She’s right," Dominic said, "When the old gal does, we don't have to rescue your son beca

Chapter 2434

Lily had never wanted to save the world or mankind, nor did she think she could. She had learned medicine and perfumery purely out of interest, while her grandfather had forced her to learn kickboxing.Lily never harbored any grand ambitions, yet destiny had led her on such a path.Alexander said solemnly, “What do you plan to do after going back there?”Instead of objecting, he wanted to know her plans. Deep down, he knew she was right, even though he did not want to let her go. He also knew they had to face the issue together instead of avoiding it.‘I could try forcing her to stay, but as she said, would she be safe? Is my wife supposed to live in hiding until the queen passes away? Even if the queen did, someone else would proceed with the experiment.’In short, avoiding the problem would not solve anything.Alexander knew Lily well. That was why he still tried to think logically and calmly, even though he was reluctant.Lily said simply, “I told Queen Yasmin I’d conduct ano

Chapter 2435

After contemplating, Alexander said, “I won't stop you if you want to go, but you must think it through. You shouldn’t go back just like that. Remember that you're going back to rescue someone, not throw your life away, okay?"Although they were willing to sacrifice themselves, they knew not to do so unnecessarily. "Of course. I won't be going back so soon. Maybe tomorrow." Lily pondered for a moment. "Let me get some rest today. Besides, I have something important to do."Austin was puzzled. However, Alexander nodded. "Okay, I'll tell him to come over."Lily said, "Tell Olivia to come, too." Catching herself, she frowned. "Wait, it's better if I go there instead. Isn't Olivia about to give birth?"Lily had lost track of time after being away for so long. "You should stay. I'll get someone to pick them up. You're in more danger than Olivia, you know," Alexander said, placing his hand on his wife’s shoulder. Olivia was only pregnant, but Lily was not anymore. Although sh

"How dare you think of locking your boss up." Lily snorted. "I was locked up long enough. No more for me, okay?"Concerned, Olivia lost her smile and held Lily's hands, studying her. "You've lost weight.""Hey, I gave birth, didn't I? You’re going to look thinner after this, too." Lily sighed, sorry that she had not had time to see her children yet. She asked gently, “When are you due?”Olivia caressed her own tummy. "Soon. The doctor says in a few more days.""I shouldn't have asked you to come here. If it weren't for the circumstances, I would’ve visited you guys," Lily said apologetically. "Don't say that." Olivia shook her head. "I'm pleased to see you, okay? Besides, it was a cozy ride. I'm sure my baby didn’t mind." She spoke firmly, palming her tummy. "I should’ve finished my treatment with Edward much earlier." Lily sighed and gazed up at Edward, who looked rather well. "You look well. I guess the toxin hasn't affected you that much." Lily pondered and held his hand

Chapter 2437

Lily held Galen carefully like he was the most precious thing in the world. She tightened her embrace and nudged her cheek against his to feel his warmth. Finally, she felt like she had indeed returned home.Lily choked up as she muttered, “I miss you so much.”She had been busy dealing with too many things, but all she thought about was her children.“I miss you too, Mommy!” Galen nudged against his mother and embraced her.Lily could hardly fight back her tears, asking, “Have you been a good boy?”"Yup!" Smiling with narrowed eyes, Galen said, "We all have."His words reminded Lily of the twins.Meanwhile, Dominic and Austin smiled, each bringing a twin over.Lily hurried over with Galen in her arms. “Let me look at them!”Although the twins were sound asleep, she could tell from their even breathing and rosy cheeks that they were in good shape. She lovingly caressed the twins' cheeks in turns."They have a good appetite and never throw tantrums," Austin praised, "They’re s

Chapter 2438

Alexander playfully glared at Galen, but the latter giggled and held his mother tighter.Olivia and Edward chuckled when they noticed it. Still, they thought it would have been an even more wonderful moment if not for the experiment.After spending some time with her children, Lily told the others to send them back to their rooms. She then sat down and looked at everyone, clearing her throat before saying, “Since I’m most familiar with the current situation, I’m the most likely candidate who can gain Queen Yasmin’s trust. Old man, you shouldn’t go because it’s pointless.“I’ve heard about the plan, but even if we show her that the experiment will fail, she’d ultimately wake up. She’ll then brush it off as a dream and a scheme of ours. We would’ve solved this issue long ago if we could change her mind so easily.”Although Dominic was quiet, everyone knew from his eyes that he agreed with her. Of course, he considered failing when he proposed the idea. Still, he did not think it th

Chapter 2439

Cameron, Anastasia, and his attendants entered. Lily was shocked to see them, exclaiming, “Secretary Rollins?!”When everyone got to their feet, she looked over her shoulder at Alexander. She thought he must have known about Cameron’s visit, and it was highly likely that Alexander had arranged it.As she expected, Alexander smiled meaningfully at his wife. He then approached Cameron to welcome him. “Thank you so much for coming.”“Well, it’s my duty. Anyway, let’s dispense with formalities.” Cameron gestured for everyone to sit down.”After getting someone to serve some tea, Alexander ensured the others left them alone.Although Olivia and Edward knew what was happening, the fewer people knew about the details of their discussion, the better.“It must’ve been tough for you guys.” Cameron held a teacup and glanced around before looking at Lily. “Especially for you.” "Tough luck, I guess," Lily shrugged, getting uneasy. If she had a choice, she would not have wanted any of this t

Chapter 2440

“Of course." Anastasia nodded and left.Alexander turned back to the others. "I think we should let Mike join us."Keeping things from him would rouse his suspicion. Besides, the matter at hand was related to Nick, and Mike had done a lot. They could not just exclude him.Cameron nodded slightly, not objecting.Soon after Anastasia went upstairs, Mike came down. He looked exhausted and unwell, with slumped shoulders. However, they knew he was doing okay, considering what he was going through."Secretary Rollins," Mike greeted the man seriously and nodded at Alexander before taking a seat."How are you holding up?" Alexander asked.Mike took a deep breath and nodded, brushing his hair with both hands. "I'm okay."Alexander looked at him intensely and then turned to Cameron. "What do you have to tell us?"Cameron sipped his tea and said, "The truth is that we knew Queen Yasmin had been secretly staying in our country, but we couldn't just deport her due to who she is. However, w
