His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 2338

Despite her caring tone, the queen continued to look at Lily.

Rhea looked at the latter and noticed she was ignoring her, too. She hated being ignored ever since she was a child. Rhea had achieved so much, yet people still treated her like nothing.

As long as Lily was around, Rhea could only play second fiddle to her. Rhea could not help but try and persuade the queen again, “We have all the right people and resources to experiment today. Your Majesty, you shouldn’t give up now!”

She knew things would be different if they proceeded with the experiment. However, the queen lost her temper and glared at Rhea, scolding, “I told you to leave!”

Rhea was startled. She dared not push her luck anymore and bit her lower lip, saying, “If you need anything—”

She quickly shut up and left with the others when she saw the queen’s impatient expression.

When Rhea reached the door, she could not help but look over her shoulder at them. She grew envious and resentful, seeing the two gazing at each other.

Only Lily, the queen, and her attendant remained in the room. The queen turned and said gently, “Leave us.”

"But…" The attendant noticed the queen’s expression and then knowingly did as the queen said.

The queen looked at Lily and sighed. “Are you going to tell me to stop the experiment?”

"Will you listen?" Lily said hoarsely. After all, she was frustrated. She could hardly breathe when she realized they were going to experiment on Nick.

'How can they do such a thing to a child? How could Fred think of prolonging his life through Nick? Who the hell does he think he is?'

The queen raised her brow without answering.

They both knew they could not persuade each other, and their relationship was somewhat peculiar now.

As the queen wanted to use Lily’s body to prolong her life, Lily should fear and resent her. However, having gone through so much and being forced to work together, they became friends to an extent.

After a long while, Lily said, "Are you that scared of death?"
