Revenge After Death

Chapter 805

Stephanie fell silent. She spoke up after a long time, "Let's eat first. Go wash your hands."

"Where's Xan?" Only then did Ashton realize that Xan was nowhere around.

"She's still unconscious," Stephanie said with her head lowered.

Ashton's expression fell. "Why is she still unconscious? Didn't the doctor say she's fine?"

It had been a while since then.

"Go wash your hands." Stephanie sent Ashton away before turning to look at Michael.

He instinctively stepped backward as he was afraid of her. "Stephie."

"Are you confident that you can protect him?" Stephanie asked.

Taken aback, Michael shook his head. "I'm sorry, that region is beyond my reach. You're also aware that that region is..."

He was implying that the Ulophia region was a lot more complicated.

Stephanie frowned. Deep down, she knew that Michael wasn't capable to that extent.

"But I'll do my best," he said again.

He wanted to make it up to Stephanie, so he would also compensate through Ashton and Xan.

Stephanie did not reply to him. She said, "Let's eat. Go wash your hands."

Michael was stunned. This was her first time offering him to stay for a meal. All these years, he had to shamelessly stay back to have a meal with them.

With teary eyes, he ran into the washroom with barely contained excitement. He smiled helplessly when he saw his own reflection in the mirror.

Back then, if only he had...

However, there was no room for "what ifs" in this world. Michael had to accept the consequences of his own mistakes.

He would never get back the Stephanie who used to belong to him anymore, and it was all his fault.

Xan remained deep asleep in the bedroom. However, other than that, it was evident that she was healthy.

"She's even snoring," Ashton mumbled as he caressed her forehead.

Xan's light snores indicated that she was only sleeping. She would even turn over in her sleep, frowning whenever she was disturbed in her sleep. She just wouldn't wake up.

"Her brain is unusually active, and her neurons are dividing rapidly. In other words, her brain is currently functioning and developing at a high speed," Steven softly said.

It meant that Xan's brain was evolving, but the downside was that she needed a lot of rest.

"So, that means she's not unconscious, but her brain is overworked and has shut itself down. That's why she's asleep?" Ashton asked in surprise.

Steven nodded and replied, "That's one way to put it."

"Well then..." Ashton let out a relieved sigh, but he was still worried. "Why is her brain constantly so active?"Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Steven replied, "That's because both of your genes have been modified. Besides, Genome Society created you to allow both of you to actively evolve."

They wanted to create a whole new evolved humankind.

Ashton frowned and looked at Steven. "Xan and I will never be truly safe if we don't get rid of Genome Society, Dad.

Steven nodded.

"Help me convince Mom to allow me to go overseas." Ashton wanted to venture out on his own. He wanted to protect Steven, Stephanie, and Xan by his own means.

"You don't have to put your dad in a difficult position. I'll allow you to go," Stephanie said, walking in.

She walked over to the bed and caressed Xan's forehead, finding her still in a fever.

"You shouldn't disturb xan. She needs a lot of rest," Stephanie said, asking Ashton and Steven to head out.

"I've already given Xan her glucose and nutrient solution," Steven said, wanting to lessen her worries.

"It's time for you to eat, then," Stephanie replied in a low mood.

Neither Ashton nor Steven dared to interject.

Michael kept quiet at the dining table, and so did everyone else.

"You should leave after you're done eating." Steven glanced at him, finding him an eyesore.
