Spoiled by Mr. Russell

Chapter 2451

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 realized that she had always

believed Lily despite herself.

Although Yasmin claimed she would no longer trust anyone, she still did not even suspect Lily of

possibly poisoning the needles.

“I’ll bring her back now!” Rick noticed the queen’s pensive expression and turned to leave.

“It’s okay!” the queen said, “I trust her.”

Rick was surprised.

Mike never thought he would see his son again. Although he was determined to rescue Nick, he had

begun to lose hope after going through so much.

Nonetheless, Mike embraced his son, as the latter was okay and had only lost a bit of weight.

“Dad, when can we go home?” Nick asked softly. After a pause, he lowered his innocent voice and

added, “Can we ever go back?”

“Don’t be silly. Of course, we can. Actually, I came to bring you home.” Mike wrapped his arms around

his son. “We’ll go back together, and I’ll never part with you again.” “I don’t want to part with you either!”

Nick held his father.

Although he was more mature than his peers, he was still a child. He trembled in Mike’s embrace.

During this period, he had always been scared despite his efforts to remain calm. Nick could finally

relax after seeing his father.

As the duo chatted, the door opened. Mike immediately looked over and felt Nick jolting. Mike quickly

held his son tighter, not wanting anyone to separate them.

However, it was Lily who entered. The duo sighed in relief when they saw her, and Nick warmly Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

addressed her, “Lily!”

Lily smiled. “Hey, Nicky.”

She looked toward Mike. “Are you feeling better now?”

Mike nodded and said sincerely, “Thank you so much.”

“Don’t thank me. You’ve done a lot for Nick as well. Anyway, I only managed to get them to let you two

meet. They won’t set Nicky free.”

Mike nodded. “I know. I’m happy enough even to see my son. Even if they kill me now, I’ll—”

Nick clapped his hand over his father’s mouth. “I don’t want you to die, Daddy!”

Mike softened. “I won’t. We’ll return home safely soon.”

“Yes, we will,” Nick said seriously. Although the boy merely echoed his father’s words, it touched Lily

profoundly.
