Chapter 1091 No Turning Back

"To them, those of us highly intelligent people with good genes who are fads are the best defense tools.

"Someone will drug our food from time to time every month. We can't go against them. Timothy and I are fine even after all these years because we have been secretly taking contraceptive pills. It was until a few months ago that we accidentally took the drug and got pregnant."

Sasha's eyes were filled with sadness when she rubbed her belly. "Maybe it is fate that this child has to live in such a twisted world."

Her yearning for a better life disappeared after she was imprisoned for a long time. All that was left was endless despair.

"That's not necessarily the case. Who knows? The birth of this child might bring good news," Elise gently comforted her, hoping that Sasha would cheer up.

Sasha could tell that what Elise said had a deeper meaning to it. The look in her eyes suddenly grew complicated when she looked at Elise. "Just who are you?" she asked.

"I can't tell you in such a short time. Mrs. Lancaster, if you trust me, please tell me the location of Professor Lancaster's lab before anything else."

"I advise you not to take this risk," Sasha kindly persuaded her. "The guards guarding us are all gifted in strength and speed. Once they find and catch you, you won't survive, let alone the child in your womb."

These guards were nothing to Elise. No one was perfect and everyone had a flaw of some sort. As long as she could find an opening for a breakthrough, she wasn't afraid no matter how powerful her opponent was.

Furthermore, she had not once used the medicine she brought that Zephyr gave her.

"I know what to do. I'm not sure if we have the chance to meet again, so please take the chance, Mrs. Lancaster!"

Looking into Elise's clear eyes, Sasha thought it through before she decided to believe Elise this one time. "I don't know the exact location, but it should be in the nearby sea. I used to go there every day when I was not pregnant. It is definitely not far from here. You can come back at night if you depart in the morning. I remember clearly that there was once when the legs of my pants were stained with red algae that usually grows in the sea. The laboratory must be at the bottom of the sea!"

As soon as she said that, Zoe demanded from not far away, "What are you ladies talking about?"

Zoe then approached them.

"She asked me if I was also caught and brought over, and I said yes," Sasha naturally responded despite the slightly dark look on her face.

Elise could tell from her expression that she was intentionally putting on a tough, competitive front.

Just like their intelligence, these scientists' arrogance was engraved in their bones. Even if they became prisoners, they would never try to butter up others.

"You must be joking, Mrs. Lancaster. You are now Triune's national treasure. We keep you here so that we can better protect you. We have no intention of treating you badly."

Zoe had a respectful attitude toward Sasha just like she did with Elise. It was as if she was lower than them.

She is obviously the one holding us captive! Sasha huffed and ignored her as she turned around to walk away.

"You mean I can be like them? I can live safely until after the child is born, right?" Elise pretended to be afraid of death as she asked Zoe for confirmation.

"Of course!" Zoe confirmed her guess and added, "It is about time. Let's head back, Mrs. Griffith."

"Alright."

Elise obediently followed after her and went back. When she was leaving the square, she quietly glanced back at Sasha, who was also looking at her. They tacitly nodded at each other the moment they met each other's eyes.

That night, Elise took off the faux skin gloves and removed all the hidden drugs.

Before going to bed the next day, she pretended to be pacing when Zoe came in to deliver a glass of milk for her. She then quietly got behind Zoe and sprinkled the drug on Zoe's neck.

Elise intentionally took her time to drink the milk. By then, Zoe began to feel sleepy as the drug had started to take effect. It only took a few minutes for her to gradually lose consciousness and fall to the floor.

Seeing this, Elise moved her to the bed and took off the clothes she had on to put on Zoe. After she covered her with the blanket, she took the key card and tiptoed out of the room.

Everything went smoothly.

However, she had just taken one step out of the room when Zoe woke up.

Zoe was relaxed as she sat up to take a bottle of red wine from the wine rack and poured some into a wine glass.

While she was enjoying her wine, Emily pushed the door open and came in from outside.

Watching her indulging in her drink, Emily warned Zoe with a dark expression on her face, "You'd better think this through. There is no turning back for this decision you are about to make." Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Zoe continued to lift the wine bottle and pour more of the liquid into her glass as though it was no big deal. As she poured, she murmured, "At this age, I have had my fill of life. It'd be nice to be able to live a day that is different from usual. There is nothing for me to regret."

…

After the news of Danny's abduction made it home, the people at the Griffith Manor cooperated and began with the next step. All the staff was mobilized, leaving only the guards who were there to maintain order.

Just like their intelligence, these scientists' arrogance was engraved in their bones. Even if they became prisoners, they would never try to butter up others.

Before they departed, Raymond came to Zephyr's home and delivered an exquisite pink gift box to Maisie.

"Please take this, Miss Maisie."

"What is it?" Maisie asked.

Raymond then opened the cover, showing a pistol and a few magazines which should be a set.

The white pistol was the size of a palm. There was a sequin in the shape of a five-pointed star on the trigger, giving the weapon a delicate appearance.

Maisie couldn't help feeling troubled when she saw the gun lying in the box. "But I don't know how to use a gun," she admitted.

"That's not a problem at all!" Raymond looked extremely uncomfortable as he stated, "I've taken a special fancy to this gun. The recoil is less than half of a normal gun, and the aim has been increased by 30%. Even a dummy can use it!"

He realized he might have said something inappropriate only after he finished his sentence, and he hurriedly explained, "I'm not saying that you are a dummy, Miss Maisie. You are Doc's younger sister. I'm sure you are clever as well. What I mean to say is, this gun is not hard to use! It really is easy! You have my word!"

Maisie started giggling at his antics. "But what do I need a gun for?"

"Clement and I are going to leave soon, and the security around here will weaken by a lot when we are away. If Triune ever breaks in, you can use this gun to save yourself. I personally applied anesthetics to these bullets. You can surely defeat them and take the chance to run away if your bullets hit them." Raymond was looking at her with worried eyes as if what he was talking about had already happened.

Maisie felt something well up in her chest as she looked into his sincere gaze. She soon took the box with both hands and took the pistol out from it. As she waved it around, she murmured, "Thank you. It is a beautiful gun. I will always carry it with me."

Raymond finally let out a breath of relief upon hearing that, and he bashfully scratched his head. "I'm glad you like it. I'm leaving now if there is nothing else."

"Please be careful!" Maisie reminded him.

"I will." He solemnly nodded and went away in wide strides.

After he left, Zephyr casually strolled out from a corner and mused, "I've never seen anyone whose first present for a lady is a pistol. His inability to be romantic must be hereditary."

"Don't say that." Maisie defended Raymond. "He's just being kind."

"Does that mean that you have feelings for him as well?"
