Revenge After Death

Chapter 708

Steven seemed unusually quiet and reserved, as if he was already resigned to his fate.

"I can stop trying to escape, Stephie, but I hope that you'll listen to me. Let's face whatever that comes our way together, okay?' he pleaded softly.

"Are you finally coming to terms with it now?' I propped my chin on my hand, resting my elbow on the bed." Are you planning to team up with me instead of sacrificing yourself behind my back now?"

Steven nodded and said, "I know it's all my fault. I shouldn't have messed with your memories and even pushed you to someone else."

I sat upright and looked at him solemnly. 'Listen up-this path isn't something you can walk alone while expecting me to be safe. Without you, I could end up dead too-whether by suicide or accident. So, we should just stay together, alive or dead."

We should finish the rest of this journey together. Why did he have to insist on walking the path on his own? "Okay," Steven said, extending his arms in hopes of hugging me.

Somehow, I could always lower my guard around him. I sat by the bedside and reached over to hug him.

Steven held me gently at first, then gradually tightened his embrace. I could feel his breath getting warmer." Im sorry," he whispered his apology.

"You did nothing wrong to me, Steven. You did something wrong to yourself," I said, my voice growing hoarser.

Steven refused to let me out of his embrace. It was as if he was trying to use his embrace to show how much he loved me.

I said, "I went to meet Rachel. She refused to reveal the identity of the mastermind but mentioned that she stayed by my side just to monitor me.

"She's not a smart person, but despite all the dangers we faced, she managed to survive being hunted. It shows that the mastermind of Genome Society places a lot of importance on her,' I analyzed softly.

Steven remained silent.

"We promised to face everything together." I bit his neck in frustration.

He allowed me to bite him and patted my back affectionately. "There's a possibility that Rachel might be the biological daughter of the mastermind of Genome Society."

That was also why she had been calling that person "mother".

"Have you ever noticed that she looks rather similar to you?" Steven said, looking at me.

I was taken aback. "Are you saying that... she's the daughter of Sarah's clone? But clones couldn't naturally conceive regular offspring. If they could, there wouldn't be so many women going missing and ending up becoming surrogates for Genome Society'

Steven shook his head and said, "It's not a clone."

I sat up, looking at Steven. "Sarah..."

"Yes, I've had my suspicions about her. Despite being a sacrifice for Genome Society, she managed to survive until now. She might look crazy on the surface, but many details match up with her. However, we've overlooked her just because she's a 'victim," Steven softly explained.

I remained shocked by the news for some time.

It would make sense if Rachel really was my original subject, Sarah's, daughter.

Back when I first met her after transferring universities, it was as if there was an instinctive connection between us. It felt like I was naturally drawn to her, and before I knew it, we had become friends.

So, it was the genes at work, after all.

"How did Sarah manage to go from a victim to being sacrificed to becoming the regional leader of Genome Society?' I asked in surprise.

Genome Society was spread across the globe, with a vast network behind it.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Was Sarah actually a genius as well?

"She's a genius. That's why she was chosen by Genome Society. That's also why Andy used her as a stepping stone to get into the organization, Steven softly said.

That explained why Genome Society suddenly wanted to kill Andy-because Sarah wanted him dead. Did she actually hate him?
