His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)
Chapter 2324

Not expecting Fred to ask her to answer, Rhea was taken aback.

"I..."

"You heard the queen. What's the success rate?" Fred pushed her.

Not knowing the answer, Rhea gritted her teeth and murmured, "Theoretically speaking-"

"23 percent," Lily interrupted.

Not knowing why Lily had said this, Rhea gave her a puzzled look. 'Did she just pull out a random figure?'

Without even a glance at Rhea, Lily added solemnly, "And this is only a rough estimation as the success also depends on the surgeons, the level of cooperation before the surgeon and attendants, the conditions of the test subjects, and so on.

"Taking all these factors into consideration, the success rate could be as high as 45% or as low as less than 10 percent."

Fred listened intently as if he had forgotten that Lily was the one about to undergo surgery, not the one performing it.

"You heard that?" the queen asked Fred in a grave tone.

"Well..." Fred blinked, then caught himself. "She's just bullshitting you so that you'd stop the experiment, Your Majesty. Don't let her fool you again. Have you forgotten about your dream?

"How can we stop now when we're so close to success?" He continued, "Look. We're all set, and I've even brought in the best neurosurgeons. Rest assured, Your Majesty, the experiment will succeed.?" The queen laughed. "You're telling me not to trust her but you instead?" She pointed at Lily. "She's the expert who developed the drug. You also told me in the beginning she was the best person for the job. "Now you're telling me not to trust her? I ended up in this state because I trusted you!"

With a shrug, Fred said flatly, "Your Majesty, I admit she's capable and has contributed to the experiment, but don't forget that she's now a test subject. To save herself, she'd say anything. "Trust me on this, okay? The experiment will work. You've trusted me all these years, haven't you? Just trust me on this too."

The queen stared at Fred for a long while, then said, "So you truly believe that the success rate is very high?"
