Chapter 2379

“What do you think would happen if you died just now?” Dominic asked.

Yasmin was puzzled.

Before she could answer, he said, “Would the world have ended? No, nothing would’ve happened. When you die, you will have nothing to do with your people, your children, and everything else. You can’t even bother yourself with your funeral.”

The queen remained quiet.

“Are decades of life too short? Not really. Many can’t even live until your age. All we can do is live each day to the fullest. So why must you be so hard on yourself? What’s more important than being happy?

“Why bother yourself with your country? You should let the next generation deal with it. It’s time for you to rest!” Dominic got carried away as he patted the back of Yasmin’s hand.

The queen was stunned.

“Oopsie,” Dominic said half-jokingly and withdrew his hand. He then got up and said, “I know you won’t listen to others because you aren’t used to it. Still, you should really take it easy and treat yourself better.

I have to go and rest. You should, too.”

He stretched and headed out of the room.

Rick was standing guard outside when he saw the door open. He hurried over and lowered his head, saying, “Sir…”

“I’d like to get some sleep,” Dominic said arrogantly, arms akimbo.

Rick treated the old man as a VIP and was not upset. “Right away, sir.”

After getting someone to take the old man back to his room, Rick entered to see Yasmin. “Your Majesty?”

“Leave me alone.” Yasmin waved him off and looked away.

Rick did as she said when he realized she looked much better despite her weak voice.

When he stepped out of the room, someone approached him. “Prince Ross demanded to see Her Majesty.”

Rick frowned. “The queen says His Highness needs her rest, and no one is to disturb her.”

In other words, she wanted Ross to stay restrained.

“Yes, sir.” The guard turned and hurried away.

Rick quickly said, “Wait!” After a moment’s hesitation, he added, “I’ll go.”

Ross was enraged in his bedroom. “Why can’t you let me out of the room? I want to see Her Majesty. I want to know how she’s doing!”

He couldn’t help but feel worried. He even felt he should not have been so harsh on his mother. After all, she was old and in bad shape. Still, the guards outside refused to let him out, which infuriated him.

‘How dare they stop me! I’m the prince, for crying out loud!’
