Chapter 744
Steven instinctively glanced at me.
I knew he was asking for my permission-one which I would never give.
I got up to open the door and gave Carol a warning glare. 'Simeon is your brother. Why are you calling my husband for help?"
She looked at me with a jealous expression before saying, 'Simeon is in danger, Steven!"
Steven said nothing.
"Is his years of friendship with you not worth a thing before this woman?' Carol asked angrily. 'Genome Society took him away. Even if they won't kill him, they'd experiment on him. You know best how they'll torment him!"
"Aren't you very capable yourself? Can't you rescue your brother on your own?" I questioned her.
"Shut up, you!" Carol glared at me angrily. "It's all because of you! Why aren't you dead yet? If it weren't for you, Simeon, Steven, and I would've been the perfect trio together!"
She had always believed that my appearance had disrupted their relationship. Simeon used to have the same thought, but he ended up accepting my existence.
"Everything changed because of you!" Carol said defiantly.
Steven got up and made his way over on his crutches. "It wouldn't be you even if she wasn't around."
Carol looked at him, upset. "So, are you going to listen to her and ignore Simeon, then?"
"If you're truly worried about Simeon, you should be thinking about how to rescue him instead of guilt tripping Steven here." I shielded Steven behind me and frowned at her.
Carol coldly chuckled before she reigned her emotions in. "I just need your word for it, Steven."
She only wanted to know whether he would help her rescue Simeon.
"Genome Society will surely contact you now that they've gotten Simeon. Let's wait to see what they want before making decisions,' Steven replied in a deep voice.
Carol looked at me provocatively, as if she was smugly showing that he still cared about her and Simeon.
I said nothing, only turning back to look at Steven once she was gone.
I knew he wouldn't ignore Simeon's situation, but I refused to let him risk himself anymore.
"Give me the reincarnation data and the genetic codes 'I closed the door and picked up the notebook on the table, asking Steven to write them all down for me.
He remained standing as he looked at me pleadingly. He knew that it was a hot potato. It wouldn't be good getting involved.
"Give them to me," I demanded again. My voice was low and threatening.
I would never allow him to go rescue Simeon. If someone had to go to Genome Society, I would do it.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
"Stephie." Steven shook his head, refusing to tell me.
"Fine. If Genome Society insists for you to go over, I'll go with you." I tossed the notebook aside, looking at the
numbers written all over.
I did not know what he was calculating, but somehow, I felt as if he was still hiding something from me.
"We'll be wiped out once the laws of nature are broken, Stephie,' Steven said softly. "Humans will never win against the laws."
I sat by the bed, saying nothing.
Genome Society had already gained the upper hand by capturing Joel. Yet we hadn't found out the identity of
the mastermind yet.
We had allowed them to be in control now.
Steven walked over to me with the help of his crutches. He then pulled my head into his embrace. "Don't be afraid, Stephie. I'm here."
What was I afraid of? Was it Genome Society or death?
I was only afraid that he might leave me.
