Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 2340

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.”

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?”
