Reborn in the Enemy's Embrace - Chapter 390

Chapter 390: CHAPTER 390 Chapter 390: CHAPTER 390 I began to panic as I tugged at Dexter’s hand.

“Let’s go back.

I’ll stay with you, Dexter.

Let’s go back.” He tugged at my wrist and shook his head.

He was enduring the pain.

He coughed out blood once again when he could no longer endure it.

“Dexter!” I cried while pleading, “Please don’t leave me!” I finally managed to find him after all this while.

Dexter hugged me tight and looked at Damien.

“Keep on moving.” “No!” I struggled to push him away, but he was too strong.

He refused to let me out of his embrace.

“Dexter!” Andy and Sarah began to panic.

Andy was worried that the reincarnation data and its secrets would disappear forever if Dexter died.

He wasn’t worried about his own son dying.

“Turn off the micro bomb!” he yelled anxiously for Sarah to turn it off.

However, it was impossible to turn the micro bomb off once it was activated.

“The signal is blocked-I can’t turn it off!” Sarah said, panicking.

I thrashed around hard, crying as I pleaded for Dexter to let me go, yet he refused to do so.

Damien fell silent for the longest time.

He dared not move.

“Damien” Dexter turned to look at him with reddening eyes.

“Don’t forget what you promised me.” He had told Damien that everything would end only with his death.

Damien’s eyes were clearly red as he clenched his fist, looking at me.

He was probably still scared of me.

“Damien!” Dexter trapped me in his embrace as he yelled uncontrollably, “Please!” This would be the first and last time Dexter begged Damien.

In the past, he would submit to anyone but Damien, but now he was begging Damien to kill him.

Damien clenched his fists tightly as he turned to instruct our contact to start moving the boat.

“No!

Turn back around, Damien!

Stop him, Joel!” I cried while trying to push Dexter away.

Joel did not move.

It was as if he had also accepted the fact that Andy would never be eliminated unless Dexter died.

We had finally caused Andy to lose everything but the headquarters’ laboratory now.

Dexter had finally turned himself into the ultimate leverage over Andy’s life-and he was destined to die.

This was a trap set by Dexter personally-one with no way out.

“Sophia…” Dexter’s voice trembled as he chuckled while hugging me tight.

“I love you.

I’ll always be by your side, just in a different way.

But trust me, I’ll always be by your side.” I shook my head while crying.

I refused to let him die.

“Hug me.” Dexter’s voice was beyond weak now.

My arms trembled as I hugged him tight.

He leaned against my shoulders, while the scent of blood permeated the air heavily.

His last words to me were asking me to hug him.

He had yearned to be loved so much that he wanted to die in my arms.

I gradually stopped feeling his heartbeat and breathing.

His arms around me slowly slid down as he lost the strength in him.

I remained stiffly crouching in place, looking up blankly at the blue sky and vast ocean.

My world fell deathly silent at that moment.

Dexter was dead.

Andy and Dexter stopped their boat as they watched us gradually pulling away.

As they lost Dexter as their bargaining chip, they could only hope for the scientists in the base to be able to discover the key to reincarnation.

But how was it possible for those useless pieces of trash to be able to do that?

I gently laid Dexter flat on the deck before getting up to look at Andy and Sarah.

Has everything come to an end now?

It hadn’t.

After all, Andy and Sarah weren’t dead yet.

It was a week later when we brought Dexter back to Huma.

As expected, the police couldn’t find anything in Genome Society’s base.

They could only head back.

Genome Society’s laboratories in the country had been pretty much wiped out, dealing a significant blow to Andy.

For the time being, his focus was entirely on finding the key to reincarnation.

“Sophia,” Joel called for me.

“What are your plans?” Joel asked.

“I’m bringing Dexter home.” I looked at the empty space beside me, yet I could still feel his presence.

It was just like how I had been detached from my body back then.

However, they couldn’t feel him.

They thought that I had gone mad – that I had started hallucinating because I couldn’t accept the reality.

“Sophia…” Damien dared not show up in front of me since that day.

He had been hiding all the while, yet somehow he found the courage to walk over today.

I glanced at him, feeling surprisingly calm and unperturbed.

Their trap must have been a deadlock from the start since he had agreed to help Dexter out.

“Just leave.” I refused to meet anyone else.

I only wanted to bring Dexter home.

I glanced at Joel and whispered, “Help me send Dexter home.” “Sophia,” he called hesitantly.

“You’ve figured out the formula between reincarnation and the genetic code, haven’t you?” I asked him after making sure that no one was following us.

Joel stared at me quietly for the longest time.

“Did Dexter not leave the data with you?” I had a bad feeling as I frowned.

“He did, but I burned it.” I would have looked at it if I knew this would happen.

“Would you believe me if I told you that my reincarnation was purely coincidental?” Joel softly asked.

“I was lying to Carol when I said I found the way to reincarnate.” It was to prevent Carol from doing anything reckless just to get her hands on Dexter.

I took a deep breath as I slowly stiffened up.

I had thought I could find a way to bring him back.

It turned out that it was all meant to be.

Dexter had been deceiving me all along.

“Dexter knew all along that you actually don’t know the method to reincarnation, right?” I looked at Joel.

He remained silent as he clenched his fists tightly.

I had held onto a glimmer of hope since Dexter had mentioned that Joel knew the way too.

I figured that we could bring him back as long as I could find Dexter’s clone subject.

Andy would definitely have prepared a clone subject for him.

Joel said, “Dexter was worried that you might go look for Andy for his clone subject.

That way, we would be back to square one.

Andy would never let you go since he knew that you have the reincarnation data.” Dexter’s sacrifice would be in vain if that happened.

I took a deep breath and said nothing.

It was time to go back home, Dexter.

We returned to the mountaintop villa.

Joel sent Dexter and me back.

He was still worried about me.

Zion, Violette, and Eason were all there.

I did not want to see any of them.

Violette had come with Xan and Ashton, but I didn’t even want to see them.

I couldn’t protect their father but came back alone.

I felt so sorry for the kids.

I said, “Bring the kids back.

I want to be alone.” Dexter’s body was stored in the cryogenic chamber.

I clung to the hope that he would come back, but I had been in a daze for a long time.

I could feel his presence, yet I couldn’t connect with him at all.

I knew he was right by my side, but he couldn’t reply to me when I spoke, and I couldn’t hear him when he spoke.

It was as if we were trapped in two different worlds, and he only had a sliver of quantum consciousness left, unwilling to leave.

“I’m tired now, Dexter,” I whispered as I locked myself in the bathroom, filling the bathtub brim with water.

I knew he was looking at me.

He was probably crying and screaming now.

But without him, I realized that I couldn’t find any reason to keep on living.

Everything has lost its meaning now.

“I’m coming to you now, Dexter.” I submerged myself under the cold water, feeling myself gradually suffocating.

“Sophia!” “Do you believe that the body has a soul, Dexter?

Just like quantum entanglement, a person’s consciousness can exist separately from the body.

We just can’t touch or see it.

“Those two twin white mice came back to life on the brink of death, Dexter!

Elizabeth’s behavior has completely changed.

She seems more like Eaton from before, while Eaton is more like Elizabeth!

“Help me find a pair of twins, Dexter.

If only I can succeed-” “You’re insane, Sophia.

You want to use humans-” “So what?

There have to be sacrifices in order for humanity to move forward!” “Please stop this, Sophia!” I felt as if I had seen Dexter as I teetered on the brink of death.

In those memories, I was the one who was frantically conducting experiments.

I was also the one who had continuously tortured animals in order to record the data.

On the other hand, Dexter seemed to not trust me.

He did not believe that souls could be reincarnated, nor that the quantum called “souls” could continue to entangle through a different medium.
