Revenge After Death

Chapter 501

"Are you awake?" Steven turned around and noticed that I was awake. Instantly, he suppressed all his anger.

I felt a little awkward. The way Steven looked just now... If others didn't know, they might have thought he was a gangster. He was quite intimidating.

"Stephie..." His voice was hoarse and filled with a hint of grievance as he lay in my arms. At this moment, he was now completely different from before.

I raised my hand and gently rubbed his head. "What's wrong? Eason was cursing,"

"Did he bother you? I'll go and sew his mouth shut." Steven stood up, determined to walk out.

I firmly grasped his wrist, fully aware that he was attempting to divert the conversation. "Tell me, what happened?"

"Nancy died under their watch," Steven answered.

I was momentarily stunned. "There are so many police officers keeping watch..."

Steven turned around and looked at me. "They had planned everything, but they didn't expect Nancy to take her own life. She knew the organization wouldn't let her go, and she understood the police would be eager to pry the organization's secrets from her."

Nancy's decision to attempt suicide was a chilling indication of how terrifying Genome Society truly was. She was willing to take her own life rather than be captured by the police. I seemed to have predicted the outcome and released Steven's wrist.
