18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 298

Stella didn't mention Tracy's arrival. She truly felt there was no need to discuss it.

The truth wasn't hard to guess. Having to deal with someone like Tracy, Stella felt as though a huge weight had been lifted from her heart. So it was about being selfish, well, who wasn't capable of that?

What Stella actually feared was the possibility of Tracy having some unavoidable circumstances that she would use to gain Stella's pity.

In this apocalyptic world, familial bonds weren't exactly unshakeable, let alone when dealing with a sophisticated egoist like Tracy.

"Jasper, do you think I'm too selfish?"

Her question caught Jasper off guard, "Why do you ask?"

Stella gave a small chuckle, "Just a sudden thought."

She wasn't one to ask questions without reason, and Jasper seemed to have realized it. "You once said, we're humans, not gods. Doing what we can is enough."

Sure, she had Arcadia, but it was a mere drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things. Plus, she had already warned the authorities about the impending disaster in a coded message. She had also left a large amount of supplies for Evan twice. She also saved the people of Eastwood Eden.

She had done more than enough. All she needed to do was to not hold the authorities back and live her life. Let what comes, come.

"Jasper, thank you." If not for him, she might have lived a more self-absorbed life.

Jasper ruffled her hair, "Stop overthinking things."

Days went by and their neighborhood was relatively calm for the time being. It wasn't that there were no troublemakers lurking around, but Bran was shamelessly enough to pester Jasper into making Molotov cocktails, saying, "Jasper, those capable should take charge.
