Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace (Dexter and Phoebe) novel Chapter 487

"Really?" I let out a nonchalant 'oh', leaning against the doorframe of the makeshift cabin. "You really think I'd buy that story?"

Naomi was visibly irritated by my skepticism and let out a scornful laugh. "Looks like you won't believe it until you see it with your own eyes..."

With a slight smirk, she continued, "Forgot to mention, the Phoebe we sent over - both genetically and biologically - she's top-notch. Prime for pregnancy. Combining gene editing with a genetically modified organism to create the perfect offspring was part of our experiment plan..."

She paused, looking straight at me before adding, "Oh, and did I mention? This whole experiment was actually Phoebe's parents' idea... Initially, the organization was against the idea of gene-editing prodigies mingling with genetically modified subjects. Afraid of the unforeseen consequences."

After all, bringing two highly intelligent individuals together could spell trouble if they decided to rebel against the organization. Hence, the organization made sure to prevent such interactions.

"But Phoebe's parents couldn't bear to see them separated. They cunningly proposed the natural conception experiment, hoping to naturally conceive a child between the modified organism and the gene-editing prodigy, curious about the kind of child it would produce."

However, as Phoebe grew, we discovered that her parents had hidden experimental data, concealing the fact that Phoebe had a physical deformity that prevented her from bearing healthy offspring..."

Thus, our separation was inevitable. The organization must have found out eventually.

And so, at eighteen, after a car accident and memory loss, with both parents gone, I found myself growing up in the Fitzgerald family, falling in love with Dexter...
