Chapter 2339
The queen sighed and said, "You aren't afraid of death because you're not old like me. I used to think I
didn’t fear death and that I could conquer every problem."
After a pause, she continued, "However, I've realized that there are many things I can’t control. I don’t
want to die, either!”
Suddenly, Queen Yasmin looked at Lily helplessly. The former became emotional, saying, “I still have
many important things I’ve yet to do. Do you know what it feels like to be unable to do everything you
want to?”
"I do!" Lily answered.
"No, you don't!" Yasmin retorted, "How could you? You're so young, beautiful, and full of energy. Not
only are you young, but you also have a good family and career. How could you possibly know how I
feel? I used to be like you, but now I'm old!"
Yasmin looked exhausted. She spoke more like an ordinary aging woman than a monarch. She had
desperately struggled to defy her fate, unwilling to accept her aging and death.
Lily gazed at her and knew how frustrated she must feel. The former felt terrible for Yasmin. However,
death was part of nature, and it was futile to resist. Lily sighed and asked, “That’s why you refuse to
give up on the experiment?”
“Yes, it is!” Yasmin nodded. “I don’t want to die, and I can’t afford to. I’ll give the experiment a shot,
even if there’s only a glimmer of hope, not to mention—”
Although she did not finish her sentence, the look in her eyes showed how excited she was about
immortality.
“I can understand your feelings, but I can’t help you!” Lily spoke bluntly, not wanting to lie to the queen.
Yasmin looked up at Lily with an unreadable gaze. The former calmly asked, “Do you realize that
saying that would get you killed even sooner?”
Lily nodded. "I do." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“I promise to keep you alive if you help me.” Yasmin took a deep breath as she caressed her
wheelchair’s armrest. “I’ve thought it through. Although you’re my most suitable candidate, it doesn’t
mean I must use you.
“I can get my men to search for a substitute. I won’t mind if she’s not as good as you. I’ll also spare
your family if you’re willing to help me.” Yasmin’s offer was tempting. After all, Fred had never made
such a promise before.
