Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1350

Emmy grabbed the phone almost reflexively. She froze when she saw the name on the screen. It was not Penny, but John.

Are you there?

Emmy scrolled up through the chat history, only then realizing she had been so focused on dealing with emergency affairs that she had ignored this string of messages. John had been looking for her since a few days ago.

Emmy, where are you?

I am returning to the country. Can we grab a meal together?

Are you very busy? I have news on my end. Can we talk on the phone?

I heard you returned to the country. If so, please reply to me.

Are you okay?

Are you there?

Looking at this long list of unread messages, Emmy quickly called him back. The call connected almost after a single ring.

"Emmy! Is that you?" John answered.

Emmy rubbed her aching temples, trying to keep her tone as gentle as possible. "I am sorry, John. A lot has happened these past few days, and I have been entirely too busy. I just saw your messages."

Emmy found it somewhat unbelievable, her voice terribly dry. "Then to complete this procedure, what price must be paid?"

John took a deep breath, his tone filled with disgust and terror. "The price is simply utterly inhumane. Emmy, this is not medicine at all. It is a massacre. To thoroughly change one's appearance in a short time, the recipient needs to find at least three donors whose genetics, blood type, bone marrow, and other indicators highly match their own. These three donors are usually chosen to be younger and possess more vibrant vitality than the recipient."

Emmy widened her eyes, suppressing her nausea to listen.

John continued. "Once the match is successful, regardless of whether these three people are healthy or innocent, they are immediately captured in secret. The surgical process is extremely cruel. The doctors connect the blood vessels of the recipient with these three people to perform a full body blood transfusion. Then they extract the stem cells and bone marrow from the donors and inject them into the recipient. Those three people will slowly die in the extreme agony of having their blood and bone marrow drained bare. Meanwhile, the recipient experiences drastic mutations in their bodily functions within just a few short months. Some can forcibly grow ten centimeters taller in three months. Some who were originally obese can turn into slender individuals in three months. Even an old man with a head full of white hair can grow black hair, rejuvenate his skin, and look thirty years younger."

Emmy felt a chill wash over her entire body. Three living people dying in extreme agony, all just to fulfill one person's selfish desires. To become Abis, to obtain that mere skin, Dean had actually burdened himself with three human lives! This was that man! That selfish, dark lunatic who resorted to any means necessary to achieve his goals!
