The Last True Female (Lexie) (by Sylvia Vance) novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38

Faced with Amya’s request and seeing the calm smile on her face Lexie just felt her heart wrench with unbearable pain. Amya said, “Lex, if I get a tomb of my own after I die, will you come to visit me when you have time?”

She went on, “I don’t want everyone to forget me. I want everyone to prove that I once existed. I hope that even if I die, someone will remember me. So Lex, promise me you won’t forget me?”

“I will. I won’t forget you.” Meeting Amya’s hopeful gaze, Lexie felt a surge of sorrow.

She moved closer to Amya and reached out to hug her. “Amya, Im sorry. You helped me so much, but I can’t save you.”

“It’s okay. It’s not your fault. I have something for you. Consider it a little memento from me.” Amya said.

“Okay.” Staring at the memory drive Amya handed over, Lexie fought back her tears and put it

Noticing the tears hanging in Lexie’s eyes, Amya reached out and gently touched one with he mouth to taste. “Lex, are human tears salty?”

ertip, then put it into her

“They’re salty, bitter, astringent, full of sorrow, and also, also of excitement and joy… Amya, human tears can represent so many emotions.” Lexie said.

“Really? If I get another life, I hope Lex will shed tears of joy for me.” Amya said.

“Okay. I promise I do,” Lexie said.

Hearing Lexie’s assurance, Amya smiled at her, then turned to look at Austin, who had been standing guard nearby.

“Marshal Drake, protect Lex. She is the most precious treasure of the entire Aetherion Interstellar Zone. You must take good care of her, and never let anyone bully her, will you?” said Amya

“I will,” Austin said.

After hearing Austin’s promise, Amya hugged Lexie gently again before letting her go. “Lex, it’s getting late. You should leave now. Goodbye. Forever.”

Lexie said reluctantly, “Amya, I…”

“Go. Just go, Lex,” said Amya.

Then, Lexie was helplessly pulled away by Austin. As she left, she looked back at Amya, who was as beautiful as an angel.

She thought, ‘She is so beautiful. Why couldn’t the people who created her let her live a few more days?‘

Amya’s remaining two months of life were like a candle flame. A gentle breeze would be enough to snuff it out in an instant

On the way back, Austin noticed that Lexie was still drowning in grief. He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and pulled her into his arms without hesitation.

Being suddenly embraced, Lexie let out a startled gasp and instinctively wrapped her hands around Austin’s neck. “Marshal

Drake?”

Austin didn’t say a word. He just patted Lexie gently on the back as if comforting a hurt child

The warmth of Austin’s embrace aroused an indescribable emotion in Lexie’s heart.

She knew she shouldn’t have such feelings for Austin, but she just couldn’t control her heart. Because at this moment he was

“Marshal Drake, I…” Lexie wanted to say something, but the words stuck in her throat, and she didn’t know how to put them

into words.

Austin seemed to sense Lexie’s inner turmoil. He comforted her softly like a child, then looked into her eyes and said gently, “Lex, I know what you’re thinking. But remember, Amya was just an android.

“Her creation was a carefully designed trap set for us. We don’t have to take our anger out on her, but you shouldn’t show her too much kindness either.

“Lex, the Aetherion Interstellar Zone has been short of females for a long time, and all the beastmen have grown more and more cold–hearted. They won’t waste any extra feelings on people who don’t matter to them. Profit is the only thing all beastmen pursue.

“You are so kind. You’re this broken up over a mere pawn. You will definitely be taken advantag intentions. Lex, to protect yourself, don’t be too soft–hearted. Because I’m afraid you’ll get hu

After hearing his words, Lexie still felt sad, but she knew every word Austin said was true. She quickly pulled herself together, nodded, and said, “Marshal Drake, don’t worry. I know what to do.”

Seeing Lexie’s red–rimmed eyes, Austin kept patting her on the back gently.

He said softly, “Lex, it’s okay if you stay kind forever. You are my female bot, and I will definitely protect you well. You just keep being your kind self. I’ll take care of all the consequences of your kindness.”

Then he went on, “Don’t cry, babe. Dr. Cole said you’re in poor health and need proper care. If you keep crying like this, it will be really bad for your body.”

Lexie was deeply touched by Austin, who held her in his arms and kept soothing her. However, after hesitating for a moment, she couldn’t help asking, “Marshal Drake, you’ve been so good to me. Do you like me?”

“Of course. You are my female bot, of course I like you.” Austin said.

When Lexie heard Austin’s words, she froze for a moment, then her cheeks turned bright red instantly, and her heart started pounding wildly in her chest.

She had never expected Austin to admit his affection for her so directly.

Before this, she had never dared to even think about this possibility. After all, Austin was of such noble status, while she was just a female bot. There was a world of difference between them

But now, hearing Austin say that, an unexpected sweetness rose up in Lexie’s heart.

She looked at Austin, her eyes shining with happiness. But this feeling faded as quickly as it came.

Because Lexie knew that Austin’s affection for her was just like the love an owner had for his pet. After all, with her current identity as a female bot, she was no more than a pet to Austin.

At the thought of this, Lexie could no longer hold the smile on her face. Then she thought to herself, ‘Never mind. It’s okay if he sees me as a pet. It’s better than him hating me.

To be honest, she didn’t even know why she had fallen for Aust They hadn’t spent that much time together, and he was not a romantic person

However, whenever she was alone with Austin, she couldn’t help but blush, and her heart would race uncontrollably
