His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 2452

Lily tilted her head up to fight back her tears, saying, "There's something I find strange."

"What is it?" Mike asked after comforting his son.

"Instead of detaining Prince Ross, Her Majesty has sent him back to Yudonia. If so, why couldn't we reach him?"

After some thought, Mike answered, "There are two possibilities. It's probably due to poor signals, or he doesn't want us to contact him."Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

The two shared a look, knowing what each other was wondering.

'Why can't we contact Ross? Is he planning something?'

Three days later, Lily inserted the last needle into the queen's leg and looked up at her, saying, "You should start feeling your legs tomorrow. Still, it'll take some time before you can stand."

Suddenly, Lily chuckled.

"Why are you laughing?" Yasmin touched her legs. She had begun to regain sensation in her legs over the last two days. She then began to believe that she could get up. However, the queen was hesitant when the queen heard Lily chuckle.

Lily shook her head and said, "Well, it was pointless, right? Since you insist on conducting the R10 experiment, you'll abandon your body sooner or later. I shouldn't have wasted my time treating you."

Yasmin squinted and asked, "Then why did you—"

"Oh, who knows, you could've changed your mind," Lily added, "Perhaps you'll think your body is the best after all. We all came into this world with nothing. Only our bodies belong to us. Will we be the same person if we abandon them?"

"You're right," Yasmin said after sighing.

When it was time, Lily removed all the needles, and the queen moved slightly. Although her legs remained still, she felt her toes move. It excited her because she had not felt such a sensation for many years.

"You've given me a wonderful gift, Lily." The queen looked up with tears in her eyes. "I have a gift for you, too."

Yasmin then turned and opened a wooden box with several bottles lying inside. Lily was surprised, asking, "Is that... the R10 drug?"

"You're right." The queen nodded, picked up a bottle, and squeezed it. She made up her mind and poured its content into a flowerpot beside her. 

Lily gasped. "Your Majesty?"

"I couldn't sleep well for the past few months, but wasn't because of you guys. I had been wondering if I should carry on with the experiment," Yasmin said slowly, "I was reluctant to give it up, but wouldn't know what I'd face if I were to continue. 

"I decided to stop the experiment when my legs gradually regained sensation You guys were right all along. We all have our destinies, and I shouldn't sacrifice so many lives for my obsession. I'm already exhausted and should finally stop to smell the roses." 

Lily was at a loss for words, finding it hard to believe.

"Ross returned to Yudonia to take the throne. He'll pave his path. It's time for me to return to pass on my responsibilities to him." Yasmin revealed a relaxed smile. "You guys are free to go. We all have journeys to embark on, right?"

"Anyway, I'm glad to have met you, Lily." The queen extended her hand. "Are we still friends?"

Lily silently gazed at Yasmin's hand for a long while before holding it. The former nodded with a smile, saying, "Of course we are."
