Chapter 1091 No Turning Back
"To them, those of us highly intelligent people with good genes who are fads are the best defense tools.
"Someone will drug our food from time to time every month. We can't go against them. Timothy and I are fine even after all these years because we have been secretly taking contraceptive pills. It was until a few months ago that we accidentally took the drug and got pregnant."
Sasha's eyes were filled with sadness when she rubbed her belly. "Maybe it is fate that this child has to live in such a twisted world."
Her yearning for a better life disappeared after she was imprisoned for a long time. All that was left was endless despair.
"That's not necessarily the case. Who knows? The birth of this child might bring good news," Elise gently comforted her, hoping that Sasha would cheer up.
Sasha could tell that what Elise said had a deeper meaning to it. The look in her eyes suddenly grew complicated when she looked at Elise. "Just who are you?" she asked.
"I can't tell you in such a short time. Mrs. Lancaster, if you trust me, please tell me the location of Professor Lancaster's lab before anything else."
"I advise you not to take this risk," Sasha kindly persuaded her. "The guards guarding us are all gifted in strength and speed. Once they find and catch you, you won't survive, let alone the child in your womb."
These guards were nothing to Elise. No one was perfect and everyone had a flaw of some sort. As long as she could find an opening for a breakthrough, she wasn't afraid no matter how powerful her opponent was.
Furthermore, she had not once used the medicine she brought that Zephyr gave her.
"I know what to do. I'm not sure if we have the chance to meet again, so please take the chance, Mrs. Lancaster!"
Looking into Elise's clear eyes, Sasha thought it through before she decided to believe Elise this one time. "I don't know the exact location, but it should be in the nearby sea. I used to go there every day when I was not pregnant. It is definitely not far from here. You can come back at night if you depart in the morning. I remember clearly that there was once when the legs of my pants were stained with red algae that usually grows in the sea. The laboratory must be at the bottom of the sea!"
As soon as she said that, Zoe demanded from not far away, "What are you ladies talking about?"
Zoe then approached them.
"She asked me if I was also caught and brought over, and I said yes," Sasha naturally responded despite the slightly dark look on her face.
Elise could tell from her expression that she was intentionally putting on a tough, competitive front.
Just like their intelligence, these scientists' arrogance was engraved in their bones. Even if they became prisoners, they would never try to butter up others.
"You must be joking, Mrs. Lancaster. You are now Triune's national treasure. We keep you here so that we can better protect you. We have no intention of treating you badly."
Zoe had a respectful attitude toward Sasha just like she did with Elise. It was as if she was lower than them.
She is obviously the one holding us captive! Sasha huffed and ignored her as she turned around to walk away.
"You mean I can be like them? I can live safely until after the child is born, right?" Elise pretended to be afraid of death as she asked Zoe for confirmation.
"Of course!" Zoe confirmed her guess and added, "It is about time. Let's head back, Mrs. Griffith."
"Alright."
Elise obediently followed after her and went back. When she was leaving the square, she quietly glanced back at Sasha, who was also looking at her. They tacitly nodded at each other the moment they met each other's eyes.
That night, Elise took off the faux skin gloves and removed all the hidden drugs.
Before going to bed the next day, she pretended to be pacing when Zoe came in to deliver a glass of milk for her. She then quietly got behind Zoe and sprinkled the drug on Zoe's neck.
