Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 449

"It's time to head out," Eric announced, wrapping up the call that had summoned us.

"You guys go on ahead. I won't be discharged until tomorrow. Robin should be able to pick me up," Stella waved at me, pulling me into a hug. "Go home and rest. Try not to worry about anything."

I nodded, following Colin numbly.

Colin noticed my concern and whispered, "Stella's gic test came back clear. She's just incredibly lucky."

Relief washed over me as I looked at him. "That's a relief..."

Rubbing my temples, I realized just how stressed I'd become.

Even a simple visit to the doctor had me suspecting foul play.

"Don't worry, you've got me," Colin soothed in a low voice.

"This Matthew..." I wanted to know more about him and what he meant by collaboration.

"He sought me out at the orphanage three years ago, knew I was playing dumb," Colin said, holding my hand as we entered the elevator. "He's dangerous. I could tell the moment I laid eyes on him. He showed me incriminating evidence and facts about the Gene-Forge Collective, explaining how the elite had been dabbling in gic modifications over twenty years ago... The rich began secretly experimenting with gene editing, using their sperm, top-quality eggs, and surrogates to create offspring with superior intelligence, ensuring their industries and dynasties would thrive."
