Lily remembered she was still pregnant the last time she saw Nick. She chuckled and palmed her flat tummy, saying, “I already
gave birth.”
“Was it a boy?” Nick asked curiously.
“A boy and a girl,” she said smilingly, showing her fingers.
Nick’s eyes lit up, finally becoming less guarded and more childlike. “Twins? Woah!”
Lily was much gentler with children. She chuckled and said, “I’ll bring you to meet them when we have the chance.”
“I’d love to meet them, but I don’t think I can...” Nick’s voice trailed off as he lowered his head.
Lily felt a surge of sorrow. “Why can’t you? You’ll meet them when we go back.”
“Can we?” He looked up expectantly, and Lily was saddened to see him like that.
“Yes, of course!” She pulled him into her chest as she said so, both to him and to herself. Thinking she was no match for the
queen, Lily had almost given up and prepared to die there.
However, she changed her mind when she saw Nick.
‘How can I give up now? My children need me while Mike is still waiting for Nicky’s return,’ she thought.
“I believe you, Lily.” Nick let out a faint smile.
After leaving the room, Lily told the guard, “I’d like to see Her Majesty.”
The man then led her to Yasmin’s room. When the queen saw Lily, she asked, “Have you come here to tell me to give up on the
experiment?”
Yasmin knew Lily’s every move, including her visitation to Nick’s room just now. Therefore, the queen knew Lily’s reason for
coming over.
“No, I just want to go to the lab.” Lily shook her head.
“You want to go to the lab? For what?” Yasmin asked, widening her eyes in surprise.
“I want to refine R10. I want to see if I can increase its success rate or change its nature,” Lily said thoughtfully.
The queen was puzzled. “What do you mean?”
“Fred proposed the experiment, right? I only had the formula initially, but I didn’t know what the experiment was for because he,
or should I say you, kept it from me and everyone else.”
