Revenge After Death

Chapter 683

Linda walked in front of me without turning back. Her body was shaking slightly-she was crying.

I followed her to the basement of the main building. Genome Society's laboratory was there.

The place was now empty after being discovered by the police. The asylum had stopped operating, and all its patients were re-evaluated-those with grievances were all investigated.

Steven and the Rebels' ploy ended up saving the lives of many.

Genome Society used to be arrogant. Whomever they thought couldn't be killed would be sent to the asylum under various pretenses.

They would then be subjected to methods that would lead to passive "brain dead", making the families sign organ donation agreements under the guise of "easing their burden'.

Such covert operations were beyond humane.

Now, with Genome Society's laboratories gradually being exposed, their crimes were finally coming to light. Activities like organ trafficking, human trafficking, genome editing, and various inhumane experiments were being revealed one after another.

"They used to lock Steven up to torture and abuse him in the old building. They wanted to destroy his mental world but failed to do so.

"No matter how cruel their methods were, Steven had always held onto a single belief-you. He would call your name every time, saying that you were still waiting for him.'

Linda turned to me with reddening eyes. "I'm envious and jealous of you, yet I don't despise you. You were his hope and light for surviving."

Steven would've given up long if it weren't for his belief.

Linda said, 'Actually, all these things were his belongings left in the old building of the asylum. The people from Genome Society transported everything exactly how it was after moving to the new building.

"They had also tried to unlock the key to the genome and reincarnation. Unfortunately, they weren't as smart as Steven."

I followed Linda into a room. It was a spacious room, similar to the one Steven had been locked up in at the old buildingCopyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

The walls were still covered with intricate mathematical formulas, as if he had been working to calculate something.

I wasn't sure how Steven found the key to reincarnation. I had also tried solving this puzzle, but I failed. "These were the specimens he left in the asylum." Linda walked to a corner and took out an old, yellowing notebook with frayed edges. There was a letter inside. 'This is the letter he left for you."

Steven had written this letter many years ago when he first altered my memories.

"Your parents and Andy died a horrific death during that car accident. Steven was the one who rescued you and altered your memories. He wanted you to continue living a good life," Linda looked at me and said.

She continued, "He worked together with my dad to alter your memories. He couldn't trust my dad entirely, and he was also afraid that there might be complications after you got your memories altered like it might turn you dumb...

"He had just survived a fire at that time and had severe burns all over his body. He kept risking his life to escape the hospital, all just to see you to make sure you're okay and living well

I remembered someone had always been watching from behind me during the time I lost my memories. He had been following me because he was worried about me.

I took the letter with trembling fingers. Steven had already written this letter back then.

"Was he determined to die since then?" I softly asked, hesitant to open the letter.

Linda said, "He never left himself any way out. In fact, he came close to dying many times over these years he had always been teetering on the edge of death.

"The reason he could escape the grasp of death was because he wanted to be with you. He wanted to live an ordinary life with you, even if only for a short time."

I gripped the letter numbly.
