Reborn in the Enemy's Embrace - Chapter 382

Chapter 382: CHAPTER 382 Chapter 382: CHAPTER 382 “What are you talking about?

Do you think we’d be able to abandon you and escape on our own?” Joel looked at Dexter with a frown.

“This isn’t like you.

When did you become this indecisive?” Dexter looked up at him and asked, “Why do you think they suddenly let you come over?

These people aren’t full of themselves like Carol.” Joel was stunned and fell silent.

“We should be under strict surveillance now.” I looked around, observing the surveillance cameras.

There were cameras everywhere, and every move we made was under watch.

They would be alerted if we did anything out of the ordinary.

I suspected there were many people who were keeping an eye on us.

“Before they make a move on their prey, they’d lock them up to build rapport.

Then, they’d kill one of them.” I sat on the couch and looked at Joel.

“Both of us were reincarnated- we’re one too many.

They could just get rid of one of us to force Dexter to hand over the reincarnation data.” I rested my head on my hand lazily and said calmly, “Who do you think they’d kill first?

I’m sure it wouldn’t be me.

If they killed me, not only would Dexter not tell them, but he’d even try to kill himself.” Joel gritted his teeth.

“They’ll probably just take it out on a singleton like me, then.” He then glared at Dexter and grumbled, “Couples are so annoying ” “It would definitely be hard to escape.” I looked around us.

“This is a maze specifically designed for us.” Besides, it wouldn’t be the same as before now with Dexter’s lack of mobility.

As such, it would be too great a price to pay if we were to risk escaping from here.

We would only be met with a dead end if this laboratory was built over the ocean or somewhere tough.

“Since we can’t escape, we’ll just sit here and wait for our demise, then.” Joel was equally calm as he took an apple and started munching on it.

“Just take it one day at a time,” he said while eating, glancing at Dexter.

“You don’t seriously think the police will find this place, do you?

Do you think they’d let us live so comfortably all this while if they could?” Dexter remained silent.

Joel was locked up with us, living day after day in this dark place, unaware of time’s passing.

Sarah would come over occasionally to bring Dexter some homemade food.

She likely came on her own without bringing Violette over.

She was also worried that Violette might ruin her plans by releasing us.

My odds of succeeding would be greater if she did not bring Violette over.

If Violette wanted to help Zion and Eason rescue me, Dexter, and Joel, she would definitely do her best to track us down.

There was also Damien in the picture.

I could only hope that they were smarter.

“Sophia.” After sleeping for some time, Dexter got up and wanted to head down from the bed.

I reached out to hug his waist, pulling him down tight.

“Why are you up this early when we don’t have to work?” We weren’t aware of the time.

I only knew that I wanted to sleep more with him.

I wanted to hug him or let him hug me.

We both probably knew that our lives wouldn’t be peaceful for too long.

“Stop sleeping already!

Hurry up and come out!” Outside, Joel was knocking on the door.

I frowned, wondering what that singleton was trying to do now.

Dexter got up and made his way over with his crutches to open the door.

Joel was beyond excited.

I thought he had found a way to escape, but he was holding a pack of playing cards.

“Let’s play poker, guys!” I rolled my eyes before turning my back against them to continue sleeping.

Dexter looked back at me and helplessly asked, “Do you want to play poker, Sophia?” “No, you guys go on.” I huffed.

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got.

I got up and glared at Joel.

“You singleton can’t you just go daydream on your own if you’re not sleeping?” He rolled his eyes and stared at me provocatively.

“I won’t!

Like it or not, I’m just going to stick with the both of you.” I almost choked, but then I tensed up.

This scene felt familiar, reminding me of our childhood.

We would playfully fight and get jealous of each other, thinking that we were getting in each other’s way.

“You’re so childish,” I muttered, sitting up regardless.

“I’ll shuffle the cards.” Joel sat down gleefully.

The three of us sat on the bed and played poker.

After playing for some time, someone from the laboratory delivered food for us.

The lunch trolley was filled with delicious food and fruits, resembling a buffet.

It was quite the luxury for the three of us.

“It’s just like we’re having our last meal,” Joel muttered.

I frowned, knowing that Genome Society was about to make their next move soon.

After all, they had achieved their goal-the three of us had bonded quite well during this time.

Besides, Sarah had also been observing us.

She was checking if Joel and I were truly Simeon and Sophia, who had reincarnated.

They were also afraid that the entire reincarnation fiasco was just a fluke on Dexter’s end.

“Just eat up.

Who knows if this might be your last meal?” I raised my brows, teasing Joel.

He cursed while eating, trying to preserve some energy.

“You won’t just let them torment me to death, will you, Dexter?” “You have the ability to protect yourself.” Dexter believed that Joel could fend for himself.

“Both of you would lose your value if I could do that.” He propped his arms against the table and looked at Dexter and me.

“It doesn’t matter.

You can make your own decisions,” Dexter reassured Joel not to overthink.

Joel said nothing, and we continued to eat in peace.

Sarah showed up with her men soon after.

“How’s your stay here been, Dexter?” she asked with a smile.

Dexter stayed silent and ignored her.

He had been a quiet person all along, but he grew more reserved after losing a leg.

He stopped talking as much as he used to even when I was with him.

“You’re a smart person, Dexter.

You should know why I brought all of you here.

It’s not for a vacation.” Sarah placed some food on her plate and sat in front of us.

She smiled before continuing, “Once you’re done eating, I’ll bring you all on a tour around the place, Dexter.” I raised my brows, knowing that she was about to flex Genome Society’s abilities.

They would then start to force Dexter soon after.

I placed my cutlery down and looked at Sarah.

“You should give us a good tour, then.” Joel was also lounging as he watched her eat.

Sarah ate a few mouthfuls before putting her cutlery down.

She then got up and said, “Let’s go.

I’ll bring you around Genome Society’s headquarters in the Othard region.” Dexter held my hand as he sat in his wheelchair.

Joel was the one pushing him around.

As we stepped out of the maze Sarah prepared for us, we were met with a huge expanse of floor-to-ceiling windows.

We could see glaciers and the ocean outside.

As expected, it was futile to even try to escape from here.

I took a deep breath and looked down at Dexter.

He shook his head at me.

It was too unrealistic to escape from here.

The reason Sarah took us on a tour was to make it clear that we shouldn’t entertain other thoughts now.

Nothing could escape from the headquarters.
