Mike would only blame the experiment and Fred. The fact that anyone would believe in such inhumane research was mind-boggling to him.
"I don't expect Queen Yasmin to change her mind,” Lily said, "I've even tried to threaten her, but it didn't work."
Dominic leaned into his chair and gently rocked in it, adding, “As I said, she’s obsessed with the experiment. Unless we can make her die once…”
Everyone else stared at him. "What?"
Wasn't he just talking about hypnosis?
"Hey, what are you staring at me for? Lily had used it before. Ask her about it!" Dominic pointed his chin at his student.
Lily caught on. "You're talking about simulated death?"
The old man shook his head and said half-jokingly, "If the old gal truly dies, there will be a conflict between two countries, right? I don't want that to happen."
