Revenge After Death

Chapter 501

"Are you awake?" Steven turned around and noticed that I was awake. Instantly, he suppressed all his anger.

I felt a little awkward. The way Steven looked just now... If others didn't know, they might have thought he was a gangster. He was quite intimidating.

"Stephie..." His voice was hoarse and filled with a hint of grievance as he lay in my arms. At this moment, he was now completely different from before.

I raised my hand and gently rubbed his head. "What's wrong? Eason was cursing,"

"Did he bother you? I'll go and sew his mouth shut." Steven stood up, determined to walk out.

I firmly grasped his wrist, fully aware that he was attempting to divert the conversation. "Tell me, what happened?"

"Nancy died under their watch," Steven answered.

I was momentarily stunned. "There are so many police officers keeping watch..."

Steven turned around and looked at me. "They had planned everything, but they didn't expect Nancy to take her own life. She knew the organization wouldn't let her go, and she understood the police would be eager to pry the organization's secrets from her."

Nancy's decision to attempt suicide was a chilling indication of how terrifying Genome Society truly was. She was willing to take her own life rather than be captured by the police. I seemed to have predicted the outcome and released Steven's wrist.

"Nancy said that you slept with Una." At the moment, I didn't want to dwell on other matters. I simply wanted to know if it was true.

Suddenly, Steven appeared to have grasped something important. He gently cupped my face, his breath warm against my skin. "Were you there with me? I felt it... You were there with me, weren't you?"

I was momentarily stunned. Then it dawned on me that while Una introduced herself as Una, I was still in my soul form.

"Maybe I overheard you speaking while I was unconscious?" I was unsure how to articulate this phenomenon. Science couldn't explain this either.

Steven laughed and affectionately rubbed my cheek. "I would recognize you even if you turned into a dog."

I frowned. "I'm not turning into a dog, you...

"Don't change the subject, Steven! I'm still your wife. Have you slept with anyone else?" I fixed Steven with a warning gaze.

"What kind of sleep are you referring to?" Steven asked me, smiling.

I believed he deserved a swift punishment. I clenched my teeth and uttered, "Sex!"

Steven kissed my forehead. "No, but I allowed her to come into my room and put on a show for Nancy."

"Oh." I snorted, still feeling a twinge of jealousy.

"Stephie, are you jealous?" Steven whispered.

The blood rushed to my ears, flushing them with a tinge of red. I couldn't help but feel a twinge of awkwardness. Perhaps a hint of jealousy was at play.

The door to the ward swung open forcefully.

Joel glanced between the two of us, who had come so close to kissing. He wore an expression of innocence. "Something has happened..."

Steven's gaze turned dark as he looked warningly at Joel. "I hope that's the case."

"The laboratory has been exposed. Many criminal experiments conducted by Genome Society have come to light. It has implicated several wealthy individuals in Huma, including the Lincoln, Ford, and Larson families.

"The records of their custom-made genome-edited babies in the laboratory were not destroyed in time. The police have discovered it all."

Joel was visibly nervous as he continued, "Genome Society isn't willing to put themselves at risk, so they're eliminating individuals who are aware of the situation."

"What do you mean?" I asked with a frown.

Jimmy walked in through the door and smiled at me. "Obviously, they want to eliminate as many insiders as they can. It's good to see you again, my dear sister-in-law."Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

"The news has been just released. Tonight's Huma charity dinner is being held on a cruise ship, where hundreds of wealthy people and their families have been collectively kidnapped.

"This is a major criminal case that the authorities are taking very seriously. The cruise ship is about to depart into international waters." Joel took out his phone.

"Michael's mother is also among them, as well as Charles and Nadia. Michael and Yasmin are also there."

Joel suspected that someone within Genome Society was implementing a purge plan to eliminate all insiders, ensuring their own survival.

"If Genome Society truly wishes to ensure its survival by getting rid of others, it should refrain from making such a loud commotion. By doing so, it would become clear to the police that the organization is indeed connected to these affluent individuals. This may not necessarily be beneficial." Even if the organization managed to eliminate all the wealthy individuals, it would still be exposed.
