Chapter 680
Carol was trying to provoke me by telling me that I was nothing without Steven.
Eason stepped forward to restrain her, putting handcuffs on her before getting her into the car. She continued to stare at me defiantly until the police car drove away.
"Call the ambulance!" he yelled when he saw Nova on the ground.
"He's an experimental subject from the laboratory," I calmly said.
I was about to say that his death would mean nothing since he was just an experimental subject, but I couldn't do it.
Despite being an experimental subject, he seemed more human than some humans.
"Experimental subjects are still humans! Do you think he wanted to be born that way? Go get the ambulance! We need to save him!" Zion rushed over and pressed down on Nova's wound, trying to save him.
Nova seemed to have some consciousness left as he looked at me and smiled. Perhaps it was because he heard Zion's words.
He probably could die without regrets having heard those words in his last moments.
"Carol's killing is quick and efficient. Nova has no chance of surviving," I said softly, checking his wounds. Both stabs caused fatal wounds.
Despite knowing that there was no chance of survival, Zion and Eason continued to press down on the wound, in hopes of saving Nova.
I would have been perplexed by such behaviors in the past-why continue when you already know there was no chance of survival? But I seemed to be able to understand it now.
This was their last hope. They would start pinning their hopes on a miracle when human effort fell short. Although miracles were rare-they were not impossible.
For a split second, I started to wonder if a miracle would happen to Steven. I wondered if he would still be alive.
The paramedics carried Nova into the ambulance once it arrived. They were desperately trying to save an unlikely survivor.
I stood frozen in place as I watched the ambulance leave. I then looked at Zion, whose hands were covered in blood.
"You mentioned that Steven's DNA was found in the underground laboratory," I softly said.
It usually meant that a person's body was blown to pieces at an explosion site if their DNA was found, leaving only fragments of their body behind.
Zion eyed me indifferently. As a staunch materialist, he refused to believe in soul reincarnation and would only take me as Una.
"Yes, we detected fragments of Steven's tissue on site," Zion struggled to reply.
Finding tissue fragments at the center of the explosion basically meant that Steven was dead.
Zion and Eason brought their men to search around the orphanage for Carol's accomplices.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
I stood frozen in place. I felt chills running throughout my body.
He was dead... Just like that?
"We can't afford to delay our plan anymore, Ms. Stephy. The mastermind of Genome Society still hasn't given up yet.
"We received reliable information that he personally met up with Dayton Sacco, the president of Crowdstar Group. He has already met the person behind the scenes." Yara walked out from the comer.
She had been hiding in the dark. She only came out after confirming that I was Stephanie from my conversation with Carol
"Most of the Rebels have already sided with Carol, but she was too cruel and killed too many people. I can't bear to see any more deaths. When will everything end, Ms. Stephy? Will Mr. Steven still come back?" Yara asked softly.
