Chapter 816
"You should keep your distance from that jerk named Timothy in the future," Stephanie said.
Although she could see the changes in Xan's behavior, she was still worried that Xan might be fooled by a jerk.
"He's not a jerk," Xan explained softly. "He's nice."This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
She regarded Timothy rather highly.
Stephanie sighed helplessly. "I brought the kids up, yet they end up belonging to others when they grow up." Steven looked at her and whispered, "I'm yours, honey.'
Stephanie rolled her eyes. She decided to settle with knowing that Steven would belong to her forever.
"Don't take this road, Mom," Xan suddenly said while they were on their way back to the mountaintop villa. She wanted Stephanie to take another road.
Alerted, Stephanie made a sudden left turn before glancing nervously at Xan from the rearview mirror. 'What happened? Is someone following us?"
Xan shook her head and said, "There's a car accident up ahead, so that road will be congested.'
She had heard a car crash close to the road.
Stephanie breathed a sigh of relief, gradually letting her guard down. She had been on edge ever since those people from the laboratory came after them.
Steven held Stephanie's hand as they drove back to their home without a hitch.
"What's that?" The gates to the villa opened up, revealing a delivery box that was blocking the road. The box had been thrown in from outside.
It was a large delivery box, almost a person's length.
Steven comforted Stephanie and Xan before warily saying, 'Stay in the car, I'll go have a look."
They weren't expecting any deliveries, so the box must have come from an unknown source.
After Steven got out of the car, Stephanie cautiously unbuckled her seatbelt. 'Stay in the car, Xan." Xan nervously pulled Stephanie's shoulders. "There's the stench of blood, Mom."
She could smell the metallic tang of blood permeating the air.
Stevie was also barking non-stop. It was as if it could feel something was wrong and was uneasy.
Stephanie hurriedly got out of the car and slowly approached Steven. Fresh blood seeped out of the freezer bag as soon as the delivery box was opened
Steven frowned and opened the freezer bag, revealing a dead dog inside. There was a string of experimental codes on its ear.
"Fucking lunatics!" Stephanie cursed angrily as she stared at the words inside the delivery box. They were written with blood-"The fate of lab dogs is death."
This was a warning from the teenagers from the laboratory to Stephanie and Steven.
"Call Zion and get the police to deal with this,' Stephanie said as she rubbed her temples.
In order not to expose Xan, she endured countless taunts from the people from the laboratory. She would endure them all as long as they did not cross her boundaries or harm her family.
Otherwise, Stephanie would surely destroy them all. She would hunt every single one of them down without a doubt.
In the car, Xan watched as blood seeped out of the box. Her pupils narrowed quickly as she became swamped with hard-to-read emotions.
Xan was walking toward one of the academic buildings at Huma University while carrying a backpack. She was dressed in a low-key manner, with her long hair almost covering her entire face under a flat hat
Xan was in an extremely sensitive state, with her hearing, sense of smell, and other senses heightening each day.
She went from being able to hear the buzzing insects to hearing everyone's heartbeat-and she was still evolving.
"Xandra Carlson!" Suddenly, Xan was blocked by several young women as they surrounded her. 'Let's have a talk, dimwit!"
They threatened and brought her to a spot behind the academic building, where there were no surveillance cameras around
Xan observed them curiously, but she obediently went with them.
A fly buzzed around her, making her annoyed. She suddenly reached out and caught the buzzing fly, throwing it onto the ground before crushing it.
The group of young women did not notice Xan's actions. They continued to walk toward the back of the academic building obnoxiously.
"I've heard that you've been bugging Timothy all this while,' the leader of the group said. She had a lollipop in her mouth
She arrogantly pushed Xan before continuing, "We're here to teach you a lesson today. From now on, you'd better stay away from Timothy. He belongs to Kiara, the campus belle. Do you understand?"
