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.

Mike looked at her intensely and pressed his feet to the floor to stop himself from shaking them. Although he 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, hetgawant for? rhoment arid 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 ha th fallen asleep.
‘Didn't they return to rescue the bay? How are they so calm? They might be putting on an act.
