Reborn in the Enemy's Embrace - Chapter 278

Chapter 278: CHAPTER 278 Chapter 278: CHAPTER 278 The man gazed at me with sheer horror as though he had just witnessed something truly horrific.

“I’ve already been kind to you, considering I just became a new mother today.” I kicked the man out and opened the door.

Dexter and the others had defeated the rest in the corridor.

Zion was also outside and must have heard the noise.

“Let’s go back to our room!” I turned to the woman who had been through unimaginable suffering, “Would you like to join us?” In such an environment, it was challenging for a woman to live alone.

We had all embraced Maverick, and we could welcome another one as well.

Moreover, she genuinely made an effort to help me earlier.

Suddenly, the woman burst into tears.

After she fixed her hair, it became clear to me that she was the female celebrity the Sacco family’s scion had saved i the VIP banquet hall.

She quickly put on her coat and limped out.

Grabbing the key card, she followed us.

“Thank you.

My name is Xandra Zander,” she sobbed out the words.

I was stunned for a moment.

“You have the same name as my daughter.” Xandra Carlson eagerly reached out to Xandra Zander.

“Hello, pretty lady.

My name is Xandra as well.” “Thank you, all.” Xandra quickly wiped her hands on her clothes, feeling a sense of filthiness engulf her.

She thought she would be killed by those people,” Zion informed everyone.

“Come to my room” I escorted Xandra into our room and instructed her to take a bath.

I then retrieved some topical medicine from the medicine box and placed it on the sink for her.

“We’ll be in the adjoining room.

It’s safe for you to stay here.

Don’t wander off.

We’ll come in later.” I retrieved the room key and asked Xandra to stay in the room.

Her eyes were red, and her entire body trembled as she expressed her gratitude.

I gently caressed the two kids’ heads.

“There’s no need to worry, Ashton and Xan will watch over you outside.” “Kids, I’ve entrusted you with an important mission.

While the lovely lady enjoys her bath, you’ll be playing in the living room.

Your role is to protect her, understand?” Ashton and Xandra nodded in agreement and obediently took a seat on the couch.

I walked out and closed the door.

After ensuring the safety of the area, Dexter and I went into Zion’s room.

“Why did I just hear screams in the corridor?” I asked Dexter in a hushed tone.

Dexter seemed innocent.

“The person who attacked you somehow broke his hand and was screaming.

He’s really unlucky,” I felt completely helpless as I watched Dexter’s unwavering determination to seek revenge.

“We’ve now reached the high seas, a deep sea area where our satellite phone can no longer contact the police.

Our leaders have instructed us to protect ourselves.

They’ve notified the peacekeeping police in the Mileria, who will cooperate with us to carry out the mission.

“Supplies on the cruise are exhausted, and our priority now is to reach the shore.

Once on land, we can coordinate our efforts inside and outside,” Zion briefed us on the situation.

I grabbed the telescope from his bedside, stepped out onto the balcony, and peered into the distance.’Once this cruise depletes its supplies, it won’t dock.

We’re approaching uncharted waters…” Through the telescope, I could see several ships nearby, which I assumed to be the ships of Genome Society.

“The members of the Genome Society are advancing methodically, yet they’re not rushing to board the ships for rescue.

They seem to have resigned themselves to the situation.

They’re waiting for the cruise to vanish completely from the surface of the sea, at which point they’ll consider themselves safe.” The cruise carried many secrets of Genome Society.

Over a thousand people from different countries were on board.

If these people were allowed to disembark, the secret would become known.

Hence, everyone on the cruise would be trapped in a dead end.

Genome Society refused to allow us and those Rebels to disembark, just as the Rebels aboard this cruise ship also prevented anyone from going ashore.

The Rebels were determined to eliminate all the financial supporters of Genome Society.

From their viewpoint, every individual aboard our ship was already considered deceased.

Violette lay on the bed, coughing weakly, her eyes red.

“Sophia…

are we unable to go back?” “Don’t worry, I won’t let you die.” I turned around and promised Violette.

The room fell silent.

Eason remained silent and appeared quite despondent.

Joel also remained quiet, appearing lost in deep thought.

As a tourist on the cruise, Maverick lost his family and witnessed a massacre.

He hid away, silently weeping.

Violette’s complexion appeared pallid, accompanied by intermittent coughing.

“Violette’s running a fever, putting her at risk of infection.

She must take antibiotics.” Maverick, the doctor, quickly noticed that something was amiss with Violette.

He immediately rushed to assess her condition.

Zion grew nervous and immediately stepped forward, gently touching Violette’s head.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were unwell?” Violette shook her head, her eyes teary.

“I didn’t want you to worry…” I clasped my hands together and took a step forward.

“The medical capsule on this cruise ship is fully equipped with a wide range of medicines.

Just tell me what you need and I’ll go get it.” “It’s too dangerous outside,” Maverick replied anxiously.

Venturing outside was like risking one’s life.

It was surely chaotic out there.

With supplies only accessible through a room card, they had to be controlling the medicine too.

Those in need of medicine for a headache or fever would have to visit the medical capsule.

The medical capsule at present was unquestionably perilous.

“I’m uncertain about when this cruise ship will be able to dock, and I’m not even sure if it can dock.

We can’t afford to prolong her condition any further,” I declared seriously.

Despite the tremendous danger, I felt compelled to go.

Violette’s life was at stake, and I couldn’t bear to lose my best friend.

As I caught a glimpse of Violette, her eyes became filled with tears.

She closed her eyes, seemingly devoid of strength.

She desperately wanted to say something, but it appeared that the words simply eluded her.

“I’m coming with you guys.” Zion was certain that I would go with Dexter.

“No, it’s too dangerous for just you guys to go.

It would be best for everyone to go together.” Eason insisted as he stretched and glanced at Joel.

Joel regained his composure and nodded affirmatively.

“Sure.

Let’s go together.” Eason was quite astute and recognized that Maverick couldn’t be left alone.

After all, as an outsider, he couldn’t be fully trusted.

“You’re a doctor.

Come with us.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t know which medicines to take.” “I…

I can’t do it.

It’s too dangerous, and I’ll hold you back,” Maverick rejected nervously.

He was visibly scared.

“Besides, I can still take care of her if I stay.

Don’t worry, I’ll never leave this room until you come back.” I glanced at Zion and checked the time.

“I’ll bring Ashton and Xan over.

Xandra should’ve finished her bath by now.

Let’s bring them here to keep Violette company.” I didn’t trust Maverick, but I could trust the two children.

From my perspective, I saw that Maverick didn’t harbor any serious malice.

He was simply timid and afraid of death.

It was fine to let him stay.

Dexter nodded and went to pick up Xandra and the two children.

“There’s food and water in this room.

Remember, no matter what happens, do not leave the room until we come back, and do not open the door for anyone.

Do you understand?” Xandra nodded.

Dexter crouched down and gazed at Ashton.

“You’re a brother and a man.

You must protect your sister, yourself, and Violette.

She’s your mom’s best friend.

Do you understand?” Violette’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

It was as if a surge of energy had revitalized her.

She sat up with her arms propped up.

She looked at the two children in shock.

“How long was I unconscious?

What have I missed?” After saying that, she rubbed her eyes and said, “These two kids look so much like you both.” I smiled and proudly introduced, “These are my newborn son and daughter.

I’ve just become a mother without experiencing any pain.

They’re able to walk straight after being born.” Violette was utterly astonished.

“I can’t believe it…” Ashton politely introduced himself to Violette.

“Hello, Violette.

My name is Ashton Black, and my sister’s name is Xandra Milford.” Violette was filled with excitement as she looked at me.

“I’ll take great care of them.

Please stay safe and return as soon as you can.” I nodded and glanced at Dexter and the others.

“Everyone must return safely.” “The pharmacy is located beneath the medical capsule.

To reach the pharmacy, we have to go through the medical capsule.

It’s going to be a tough challenge,” Joel said in a hushed tone.

I realized that going to the medical capsule this time was a narrow escape.

With Violette’s persistent high fever, we couldn’t stand by and watch her succumb to the infection.
