Revenge After Death

Steven looked at me.

"Stephie, do you wish it was me?"

"No."

I shook my head.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Regardless of the final goal, the methods were too extreme.

For somebody to use such methods to hurt others to achieve their goals... I didn't think that person would be somebody "good".

Steven held my hand and brought me to hide behind a truck. We took off the hazmat suits.

"If you don't want it to be me, then it won't be me."

I looked at him in confusion.

"And if I wished it was you?"

"Then I'll find the mastermind and replace him, becoming the person you want me to be," Steven answered seriously.

I smiled. He looked a little silly for how seriously he was taking it.

But he also intelligently answered my question.

Eason said Steven had IQ but no EQ. But in my opinion... Steven had a terrifyingly high IQ and EQ.

He just... used his IQ on others and all his EQ on me.

I sighed and walked up to him, giving him a back hug.

Exhausted, I said, "I'm so tired. Piggyback me."

Steven piggybacked me with a smile and took us out of that place.

"Sir."

I wasn't sure how long it took, but I fell asleep on Steven. When I woke up, Ewan had arrived along with many other people. He must've known that we weren't safe. Shocked, I asked Steven, "How did Ewan get here so quickly?"

"Since Mr. Lincoln has been missing for days, I came here to look for the both of you because this was where his GPS location last appeared," explained Ewan. "Are Joel and the rest... okay?"

I felt exhausted.

My adrenaline had kept me going in the killing game inside the ruined building.

I had a hard fall on the staircase too. I was hungry and sleepy. My body felt exceptionally tired.

"They're all fine. Taylor has the worst

injuries, but he survived. Genome Society took Yasmin, so she'll live.

Rachel's injuries aren't severe either,"

Ewan said assuringly. S

"As for the rest, they just suffered some bruises."

Hearing that, I relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.

Even in my sleep, I knew Steven continued to hold my hand. He never let go.

The truth was I knew that Steven might not be the mastermind behind the killing game.

But I was afraid that it would be him.

When I woke up, I found myself at a hospital back in Huma.

On the beds next to mine were Rachel, who was sobbing, as well as Michael, who was glaring at Steven.

"Stephie!" Rachel said excitedly, noticing that I was awake.

"This is..."

I frowned. I couldn't understand how I ended up in the hospital when I had just been asleep. Why did everyone look worried? "Stephie, you're finally awake."

Rachel got off her bed and hugged me tight.

"Where's Zion and the rest?"

I patted Rachel on the back.

"Zion reported himself back to the police station. This case alerted the higher-ups, so everyone's really concerned about the case..."Rachel said softly.

She seemed hesitant.

"I can't tell you too much. But you get it, right? The major higher-ups were alerted!"

I paused.

I understood what she meant. The

mind had intended for it to

lot of public attention. But

in case it caused public panic, it hadn't been publicized yet. S

The authorities would certainly interfere with the case.

And Genome Society must be in a panic now.

"Was I... asleep for a long time?"

I asked Steven, who immediately stood up to block Michael.

"It's been half a month..." Michael answered hurriedly, looking worried about me.
