His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 2318

The calm before the storm felt suffocating to Lily. When it was time to deliver her dinner in the evening, nobody came.

It was highly unusual because no matter how angry Fred was at Lily, he took great care of her regarding food and drinks. For the sake of the experiment, she knew he would never allow her body to suffer.

Although she was not hungry, the fact that they did not deliver the meal indicated that something was up. Lily opened the door and asked the guard, "Where's my dinner?"

"No dinner tonight, ma'am. Please get an early rest," the guard said readily.

"Why?" Lily asked, but the guard gave no reply.

Besides telling her there was no dinner, he would not say another word.

After some thought, Lily asked, "Where's Fred?"

The guard continued to remain quiet. Lily raised her brow and then returned to her bedroom and shut the door. She sat by the bed but did not feel sleepy.

'Fred hasn't shown up for quite a while, and they also didn’t deliver my dinner. Don't they care about my body anymore? No. The only possible reason is that they’ll experiment on me soon.

'So they want to keep me in a fasting state for the sake of the experiment, huh?'

Lily had always been anxious about when the R10 experiment would begin. However, she was less worried now that she knew. She resembled a death row inmate who had lived in anxiety, not knowing when the execution would begin.

They would feel relieved after knowing the date. Therefore, the waiting part was the most unnerving. Still, Lily did not think she would die, even at that moment. Instead, she felt Fred would never win.

...

Dawn finally arrived, but Rhea had been sleepless all night. It might have been due to what Fred said or the nightmare she previously had. Perhaps she had her own worries.

As Fred did not tell them the exact time or the detailed procedure, everyone waited, not knowing what to do. They had done many experiments, but they never faced such a situation before.

A while later, someone brought them breakfast and told them to get ready after finishing their food. Despite their frustrations, they said nothing, hoping they could get the experiment over with as soon as possible.

Having no appetite, Rhea reluctantly ate her breakfast and glanced toward the door. As there were twice as many guards patrolling outside, she could tell how important the experiment was to Fred.

As she finished eating half of her bread, a commotion came from outside.
