Fred had always treated Lily as the queen's vessel. He would take good care of Lily but could never

spare her in the end.

Lily looked at Yasmin quietly as the latter raised her brow and said, "You don't believe me? If you don't,

I can—"

Lily interrupted, "No, I do. You're the queen, and I know you keep your promises. You wouldn't say so if

you haven't considered sparing my life."

Lily smiled somewhat mockingly. "I should thank you for willing to do so."

It sounded awkward coming from her, but she meant it. Yasmin did not need to care about Lily's life, but

she was willing to trouble herself with finding a new vessel. Still, that was not what Lily wanted.

Yasmin noticed Lily was not overjoyed. The former grew puzzled, asking, “Then why can't you help

me? Don't you want to reunite with your family? Don't you want them to achieve immortality, too?”

"No." Lily readily shook her head.

Yasmin looked at her in disbelief. "Why wouldn't you? Everyone wants to live forever. I'm sure you're

only saying that because you're not old enough.”

Still, Lily shook her head and said, "No, it's not that. I'm not old, but I am going to die soon. I've always

been on the brink of death here, and you guys can kill me anytime. Isn't that so?"

Yasmin was stumped, knowing Lily was right. After some hesitation, the former asked, "So you really

don't fear death?"

'How could anyone not fear death?' Yasmin thought in disbelief.

Lily looked at her and said, "Honestly, I do. I have three—no, four children, and they're still very young."

She said she had four because she regarded Debbie as her own, "They still need me, and I'd feel

horrible for them if I were to die.

"What about my husband? We love each other so much. He would be heartbroken if I died." Lily

revealed a sweet smile as she thought of Alexander.

Yasmin asked, "Then why won't you help me? Why must you antagonize me?"

Lily shook her head. "I'm not. I just disapprove of this inhumane experiment. I also fear death, but I

know I must accept it because that's what makes our lives so precious.

She spoke gently and soothingly, "How meaningless would it be if we lived for hundreds or even

thousands of years? If we continue to live while those around us grow old and die, wouldn't each

separation be worse than death?"
