Rhea excitedly walked away with her phone, wanting to test the formula. Someone quickly called after her, "Ma'am…" She looked over her shoulder and realized Mike was still there. She said, "Throw him out!"Since Rhea had the formula, Mike was no longer of use to her. Additionally, holding him in the embassy would only trouble her."Aren't you afraid I'm going to call the police?!" Mike growled. Rhea laughed. "Call the police? And tell them what? That I stole the formula for an invisibility potion, or that I'm not helping you rescue your son?"Oh, I forgot to tell you that I'm now a Yudonian, and I'm under its protection now. There's nothing the police can do to me here." Rhea smugly turned and left. 'Now that I'm under Queen Yasmin’s protection, why should I fear the police? All I need to do is to please Her Majesty. Besides, if I can develop the invisibility potion, I can go anywhere I please.‘Who will stop me? Who cares about immortality? What matters is to seize the mome
The man listened to Yasmin quietly. He was just like a piece of decoration who never voiced his personal opinions. "You're very loyal, but it's boring chatting with you." Yasmin sighed and shook her head again. "Lily disapproves of my actions, so she won't like what I say. As for Rhea…"Knowing she had nothing in common with Rhea, she grew helpless. Yasmin felt rather sad that she did not have anyone to talk with. As she looked out the window and thought of something, she said, "Didn't Fred kidnap a miracle doctor not too long ago?""Yes, the old man is Lily's mentor," the man said thoughtfully. Yasmin perked up. "Yes, yes, that's him! Where is he?""The storage room on the top floor.""Bring him here." After a pause, she decided not to wait any longer. "Forget it. Take me to him." "But he's in the storage room," the man said after a moment's hesitation. "I know. Just take me there. I just want to talk to him, not stay there, okay?"Since she insisted, the man then wheeled
"It doesn't matter who I am. I'm just someone who wishes to chat with you." Yasmin did not want to tell Dominic who she was. Instead, she smiled and whispered to her bodyguard, telling him to leave.The man obeyed somewhat hesitantly and closed the door behind him.Now that Yasmin and Dominic were alone, the latter said, “I know who you are.”"Oh?" The queen raised her brow and smiled, asking, "Who am I then?""You're a woman. From Yudonia," he said thoughtfully, pointing at her.Yasmin laughed and said, “You’re right! Anyway, I’m surprised you speak Yudonian so well. That's pretty rare for someone your age.""What's wrong with my age? I'm still young, okay?" Dominic said, patting his chest."How… old are you?" Yasmin was hesitant because he sounded severe. She thought she had guessed his age wrong. She even thought Dominic was in his fifties because of how energetic he seemed."I'm seventy-five!" Dominic declared. "I'm still young."The queen was shocked. 'I'm five years yo
Whenever Yasmin looked in the mirror, she would notice more wrinkles and grey hair despite her efforts to slow down her aging. Thus, she slowly gave up trying and no longer wanted to look at her reflection."So you're saying it's lucky to be able to grow old?" she asked hesitantly, finding the idea intriguing. "Of course!" Dominic slapped his thigh and said, "It's not easy to do that. I've seen and treated many people during my travels. Various strange diseases and illnesses plagued children, which was truly…heartbreaking. "So why fear aging? The real regret is not being able to grow old." After a pause, he thought of something and added, "Anyway, I'm really not old, okay?" Amused, the queen laughed.She nodded and said, "Yes, you're not, but I am.""You're not. You've only let your negative thoughts affect your body," Dominic said, shaking his head. The queen was puzzled. "Hmm? Are you sure? Would negative thoughts affect my health?" It was a subject she cared most about.
"I… don't quite understand," Yasmin sounded hesitant. Dominic cleared his throat and said thoughtfully, "Simply put, you're doing okay for someone your age, but you could be in better shape.""Better how?" Yasmin looked eager. She wanted the most to slow down her aging, but it was too difficult to go against nature.Dominic looked severe. "Based on your pulse, you're overworked and overstressed. Do you often feel that you don't have enough sleep or find it hard to wake up? Do you feel lethargic after waking up?" Yasmin was shocked that he had guessed everything so accurately. Even the doctors could not provide such accurate information based on her medical checkups. They only advised her to maintain a light diet and sleep early to increase sleep duration.However, they did not know that she had always been struggling with insomnia, which had caused her great agony. Still, she could not tell anyone about it. As many people wanted her dead to take her throne, such information woul
Waving his hand, Dominic said insightfully, "You’re exhausted because you tried to control everything and have also become restless as a result.“Think about it. You have to handle so many things alone. How can you not feel restless?" Growing thirsty, he got up and poured himself a glass of water. Deep in thought, Yasmin remained still. No one had ever dared to tell her that. She suddenly had a moment of clarity. She murmured thoughtfully, "That means I can be saved?" "As I said, you're not physically ill, so you don't need saving. It all depends on whether you're willing to let go." Dominic sipped some water and shook his head. "This is bad."Yasmin was puzzled."Oh, I'm saying the water here tastes terrible." Dominic smiled, pointing at his glass. “Sorry about that. I'll get someone to make you a cup of coffee," Yasmin said as she turned to call for a servant. Dominic waved. "No, no. I don't drink coffee. I prefer tea.""What difference does it make?" "That’s like compa
"You suffered? From what?" Yasmin asked curiously, not knowing what happened to him. Letting out a sigh, Dominic shook his head. "I'd rather not talk about it.""Why?" Having finally met someone around her age, Yasmin was curious and concerned. Dominic considered Yasmin and said, "I just thought it was unnecessary to talk about it as it's over now. I was infected with a virus a while ago and nearly died. Fortunately, I survived.”Yasmin blinked. "Virus? What virus?" She was curious about what kind of virus could stump a miracle doctor. Dominic said flatly, "Well… The virus came from here. Didn’t you know?""I… I didn’t." After a pause, Yasmin suddenly realized something. 'Was Dominic infected by the virus from Fred's lab?'Yasmin had mixed emotions. On one hand, she wished Dominic had not suffered as she felt a sense of camaraderie with him. On the other hand, she felt proud that the virus her people created was so powerful that even the miracle doctor could not do anything
“Why?" Yasmin was baffled. "Why do you want to live forever? Aren't you tired?" Dominic’s answer stumped Yasmin. She indeed had to deal with many things every day to the point she could not stop thinking about them whenever she tried to sleep at night. However, that was why she wanted to live on. "I'm tired, but I still have many things to do. If I could prolong my life, I probably wouldn’t be as tired as I could do more without having to rush everything," she said after some thought.She attributed her problem to her life being too short. Thinking she could do more things if she had a longer lifespan, she longed for immortality. "Come on," Dominic suddenly said. Yasmin was puzzled. "Don't you think you're overthinking the problem?" he asked. "There’s an endless list of things for us to do. How long do you plan to work?" Yasmin thought, 'As long as I possibly can!'She looked away, thinking that as a commoner, Dominic would not understand why she felt so strongly about
