"Why didn't you tell me?" Ross said, "So that's why you want to continue the experiment?"
Yasmin nodded. "At first, | thought | would be dying soon. | even considered choosing a successor among your brothers. But then,
one day, Fred suddenly toldthat he found a way to achieve immortality, and we could set up a lab to research it."
Her eyes began to light up. She still remembered it was a cloudy day, and she felt depressed. Her body also felt sore due to the
weather. As the pain tormented her and the fear of death neared, Fred appeared to tell her the good news.
She did not believe it initially, but Fred said the experiment had worked before and showed her an ancient text with strange
symbols and characters. He said experts had translated it and confirmed that it contained a formula for immortality.
He then began to paint her a wonderful picture of what would happen if the experiment succeeded, and she was hooked.

longer felt desperate. She looked forward to the experiment and permitted Fred to do whatever he needed to do.
She had also given him whatever financial resources he needed. She later discovered that Fred had been conducting other
experiments behind her back and did sterrible things in her name.
However, Yasmin tolerated his behavior for the experiment’s sake. Still, she felt uneasy and began to raise her guard against him
in secret, not expecting him to betray her. Moreover, his betrayal was unforgivable.
Yasmin was willing to look the other way if Fred was after wealth or power, yet he wanted immortality of himself. He even planned
to use her as a guinea pig to test the formula.
"Mom, have you ever considered the fact that the experiment might be impossible? Throughout history—"
Yasmin looked at him and interrupted, "Many have failed and died from experiments like this?"
Ross did not reply.
Yasmin could barely hide her yearning as she continued, "There have been many indeed, and | might end up dead as well.
However, why can't | be the first who makes it work?"
Ross knew it was pointless to persuade her. He said, "All right, even if you refuse to stop this experiment, what about those toxins
and viruses? What do they have to do with immortality?"
Yasmin straightened up, appearing indifferent. "That was Fred's doing and had nothing to do with me."
"Oh, yeah? You knew what he was doing and never stopped him. How could you say it had nothing to do with you?" Ross said,
agitated.
