"I don't want your best. I want your guarantee that it will succeed," Fred said as he stared at Rhea.
She took a deep breath and nodded firmly. "I promise it’ll be a success."
Seeing Rhea’s confident look, Fred nodded. "Good. Keep up the spirit, okay?"
He then lowered his head and said to a mouthpiece, "Is everything ready?"
After receiving a reply, Fred nodded and looked up at Rhea and three other surgeons. "Please get ready and change into surgical gowns now."
They went in deeper, and Rhea found a sterile room and an operating room, complete with all the surgical equipment necessary. Fred must have gone to great lengths to build this place in Hyderland in secret.
When they put on their surgical caps and masks, Fred got changed and joined them too. As they were the only people around, Rhea threw him an inquiring look.
Fred smiled." Don't worry. The test subjects will be here soon."
He called the queen and Lily test subjects, but Rhea didn't see any problem with that. If she had any doubts before, Fred had won her completely over by now.
