The Last True Female (Lexie) (by Sylvia Vance) novel Chapter 37

Lexie compliantly followed Arthur outside, and Austin was already waiting there, visibly anxious,

The moment Austin saw Lexie come out with Arthur, he rushed forward and asked, “How is it? Arthur, is Lex okay? Amya didn’t do anything to her, right?”

Arthur shook his head. “No, Amya didn’t lay a hand on her. But Marshal Drake, when I examined Lex’s body just now, I found that she’s in pretty bad shape. If this continues, she will definitely get sick.

“So for the sake of Lex’s health, I hope that from now on, she can stay with me. That way I can properly nurse her back to health and make sure she stays well.”

The moment Austin heard this, he looked at Lexic, and an unexpected hesitation flickered across his face.

Seeing Austin hesitate, Arthur hurried to explain again, “Marshal Drake, you know better than anyone how dangerous things are for you right now. Prince Nelson set up this whole scheme just to take you down.

“Now you’ve obtained the evidence that Prince Nelson used genetic technology to create androids. Once you present that evidence and expose his scheme, Prince Nelson might lash out and target you or the people around you.

“Marshal Drake, with your skills, you naturally don’t need to worry about someone ambushing She’s really not in good shape. She may be a female bot, but you’ve seen for yourself how skinny

x is different.

“Lex’s too fragile, and the chaos alone could scare her to death without anyone actually trying to hurt her. So, you should leave Lex with me for now. My place is safe, and I can protect her.

“Once you’ve dealt with Prince Nelson everything has been settled, you can come find me and take Lex back. How about it?”

Hearing Arthur lay everything out so clearly, Austin realized that it would seem unreasonable for him to disagree. Yet looking at Lexie’s sweet, innocent face, Austin felt an inexplicable reluctance deep in his heart.

Arthur replied, “Alright. Don’t you have a few top–grade crystal cores here? You can use them as payment. I’ll just use them to improve Lex’s health.”

Hearing this, Austin stared at Arthur’s outstretched hand for a moment, a little stunned. Then Austin retrieved the precious crystal cores from his storage space and handed them over.

Austin remarked, “Here. Keep Lex safe. She’s got such a pure heart, so make sure no one takes advantage of her. I’ll have people send you guys off later. As for Lex’s belongings, I’ll have someone pack them for her.”

Arthur nodded. “Alright. Just have your people hurry up. I want to take Lex away tonight.”

“Fine,” Austin agreed.

Listening to their conversation, Lexie tugged at Arthur’s sleeve and asked softly, “Dr. Cole, if you leave, what about Ms. Reyes? She only has a month left to live. Isn’t there any way you an save her?”

Arthur shook his head. “No, Lex. From the moment Amya was artificially created, her fate was already set.

“She can only live two months. Not a single day more. Even if I could extend her life by a few days, those extra days would be a living hell for her.

“Lex, I’ll be leaving, but I’ll make sure someone looks after Amy Let’s just say it’s out of pity

Lexie sighed, “Is that so? Dr. Cole, are we leaving tonight?”

Arthur nodded. “Yes, we’ll leave tonight.

Lexie asked, “Before we go, can I see Amya one last time alone?

Hearing her request, Arthur glanced at Austin, who was standing nearby. “Well…

Austin spoke up, “Lex, I’ll go with you. If you insist on going alone, then it’s a no–go. It’s not safe

Hearing this, Lexie could only nod in agreement. “Alright, then

After grabbing a quick lunch, Lexie went to Amya’s room with Austin. Lexie knocked on the door first, and only after getting Amya’s consent did she slowly step inside.

As soon as Lexie opened the door, her eyes fell on Amya, dressed in a gorgeous gown. The color was bright and striking, like a peacock spreading its feathers, mesmerizing and impossible to ignore.

A faint smile rested on Amya’s face, but there was a subtle trace of sorrow hidden within it. Lexie noticed, almost instinctively, that a delicate piano had been placed in the corner of the room, with scattered sheets of music on top, as if it had just been played.

Lexie walked in quietly, her gaze lingering on Amya for a moment, and a wave of complicated emotions rose in her chest.

At the sight of Lexie, Amya’s smile brightened a little more. Amya lightly tapped the seat besi

Lexie complied, and silence hung between them for a while. After some time, Amya finally bro is there something you want to tell me?”

Lexie replied softly, “Amya, I came to see you.”

“Just to see me? You don’t have anything else to say?”

“I–I’m leaving tonight.”

“Is that so?”

viting Lexie to sit.

quiet and asked, “Lex

When Amya heard Lexie was leaving, Amya gave a helpless smile. After only a moment, Amya gathered herself, took Lexie’s hand, and looked carefully into her eyes.

Then Amya spoke seriously, “Lex, I really envy you. You’ve got it all–your health and everything else you have are all so perfect. But I’m always struggling to survive. Sometimes I truly feel that the universe has been far too unfair to me.”

A hint of loneliness flickered through Amya’s eyes, but determination quickly replaced it. “But, Lex, sometimes I think that even if my life is short, at least I had beautiful clothes, people who admired me, a comfortable life, and in the end, I got to

meet you.

“Lex, we haven’t known each other for long, but even in this short period of time, I’ve grown to like you a lot. I originally wanted to be friends with you, but with my situation now, I’m afraid that won’t be possible.”

Lexie murmured, “Amya, you-”

Before Lexie could finish, Amya pulled down the collar of her dress. The moment Amya did that, Lexie saw the dark patches spreading across Amya’s skin.

Lexie thought, ‘What is this?‘

“It’s livor mortis,” Amya explained. “Lex, my body has already started to rot. At the rate it’s progressing. I might not even last

a month.

“Honestly, it’s good that you’re leaving, because I don’t want you see how disgusting I’ll look when I die Lex, can I ask you for something?”
