Revenge After Death

Chapter 684

Suddenly, I could understand why Steven was so agitated when I offered to risk myself to look for Genome Society's laboratory in the desolate area.

He told me that there wasn't much time left and refused to let me go. He told me that he was selfish and only wanted to stay with me.

If I hadn't gone at that time, we would have been able to live in the villa on the mountain and spend time together for a while. But I went anyway, and we ended up wasting too much time.

That was why Steven was in a rush to alter my memories again. He then went to meet the mastermind of Genome Society with his real identity.

After that, in order to convince everyone that 'Stephanie' was completely gone, he blew himself up in the laboratory together with "Stephany's" body.

He wanted to prove Stephanie's death using his own.

Steven wanted Michael to keep me on the mountain and prevent me from coming down in order to keep me alive. I could only live an ordinary life after all the subsequent troubles were gradually resolved.

Genome Society set up a huge trap, and we were all insects caught in it, meant to be devoured one at a time. Later on, someone started opposing them. My parents started the Rebels together with Andy in order to fight against Genome Society's trap and the forces behind it.

After my parents' death, I took over the Rebels and started my own trap.

Our plan was initially progressing slowly. The trap I had set was originally meant to be fatal-I would die, and Genome Society would be destroyed. We would both perish together.

And then, my variable showed up-Steven had also set up a huge trap.

He wrapped me up tightly in his trap, protecting me all this while. He took over my role and did what I was supposed to do-including dying on my behalf.

That was why Steven must have known that Carol was likely behind the serial murder cases. He would've figured it out early given how intelligent he was

Yet he did not say a word and even hid it from me deliberately. That was because he wanted to expose Genome Society's secrets using Carol's hands.

Steven knew that despite Carol's ruthlessness, she was a smart and capable person. Anyone else other than her might not have succeeded with it.

"Did he leave me anything else other than this letter and these things?" I asked, looking up at Linda.

She fell silent for a good while before taking out a small box from the corner. "Do you still remember that you had a child together?"

Stunned, I took the box with numbing fingers.

I finally remembered the past that Steven desperately wanted me to forget-we had lost our child before. Back then, I knew little about feelings. I was only curious about what my child with Steven would be like. My parents once mentioned that it was hard for me to conceive naturally as I was a clone subject with incomplete gene chains. Even if a child was born, there might be a possibility of it having some uncontrollable genetic mutation.

But I was rebellious in my late teens. I was stubborn in finding out what our child would be like.

We had just lost our child before I lost my memories from the car accident.

That was also why Steven had confined and restrained me during that time. Because of my pregnancy and the fact that I was a clone subject, I started to become irrational, wanting to commit suicide and inflict harm on myself.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

He began to feel afraid. He was worried that those people might kill the child inside me. But the child ended up dying eventually.

Linda said, 'This was both his obsession and his pain. He wanted to bury this child together with you, but he was worried that you might recall that memory."
