Chapter 1698: Everyone Is Doing Their Best

Mia Lane accepted her mentor’s request, "Rest assured, we will keep a constant watch."She set down the teacup, took the bottle of medicine, and thanked him on behalf of both Ian Shelby and the King.

Under Harlan Quinn’s watchful gaze, their car departed from the welfare institution, heading towards the city center.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Mia Lane cradled the two bottles of antidote she had just obtained, a hint of surprise emerged in her grief-stricken and anxious heart; perhaps this was the greatest hope.

She must deliver them to Lorelei immediately.

She also trusted her uncle’s pharmaceutical expertise unconditionally, which far surpassed hers and Ian Shelby’s.

After returning to the city, Finn Morgan accompanied her to Ian Shelby’s pharmaceutical lab, where they organized and took some equipment.

Then, he escorted her back to Emerald Cove and called CEO Kingston to report their safe return.

"Is such thoroughness necessary?" Mia Lane couldn’t help but smile at him, "Just like treating it as work."

"You’re far more important than work," Finn Morgan joked, showing responsibility, "CEO Kingston entrusted me with a task, and I must complete it well."

"By the way, how’s your wife Hailey lately? She’s due soon, right?"

"Over eight months along, soon," Finn Morgan’s face beamed with the happiness of an impending first-time father as he answered, "By then, let’s arrange a match for your baby with ours."

"No problem!" Mia Lane replied to him, "If I have a daughter, marrying into your family would give me peace of mind."

"Ours may not necessarily be a son; we haven’t checked the gender," Finn Morgan grinned broadly, saying, "As long as the child is healthy, we’ll be especially happy."

"Exactly, every parent thinks this way; a healthy child is the greatest blessing."

"I’ll make my way now. Later, I’ll arrange a private jet for you; just let me know your time in advance."

"Alright, thank you for your effort."

"It’s my duty." Finn Morgan smiled at her and turned to stride into the courtyard; he’s also been busy lately, with companies to attend to and a pregnant wife at home.

Mia Lane watched him get into the car, then walked towards the stairs holding the bag of herbs.

"Madam, shall I help you?" the housekeeper, Mrs. Zhou, quickly approached.

"Okay, thank you." She handed the bag to Mrs. Zhou.

At that moment, Butler Shelby also picked up a nearby box that was brought from Ian Shelby’s place, and everyone proceeded upstairs.

"Madam, would you like some milk?" Mrs. Zhou always wanted her to ingest more nourishment.

"Not for now, thank you," she always remained polite, "You all can go about your tasks; don’t worry about me."

"Alright," Mrs. Zhou said, "Madam is taking Gigi and Dolly to the hospital to see Young Master Dalton."

"I know, Mom called me."

Mia Lane ascended the stairs, entering the spacious, bright design studio, her private space where she could create pharmaceuticals.

"I’ll be stationed at the door, if you need anything, just call me," Mrs. Zhou wanted to take good care of her, especially in Mr. Kingston’s absence.

"Okay."

Mrs. Zhou and Butler Shelby put down the items and turned to leave.

Mia Lane gathered her thoughts and began crafting the potion independently... She was always so composed and exceptionally intelligent.

With her support, curing the King should be just around the corner.

Curing the King, bringing the perpetrator to justice, and finding Princess Annie, only then would Lorelei’s story be complete.

Jocelyn and Ian Shelby could marry peacefully and confidently accept everyone’s blessings.

Everyone was working hard; they seemed like a cohesive unit, merely friends yet closer than family.
