"We should go now," Ewan said after completing the discharge procedure.
"You two go on ahead. I won't be discharged until tomorrow. Zion should be able to pick me up," Rachel motioned me to come near and hugged me. "Get some rest when you get home. Don't worry too much."
I nodded, following Steven numbly.
Noticing my concern, Steven whispered, "Rachel's genetic test came back fine. It's really just luck."
"Good to hear." I looked at Steven and sighed in relief. Rubbing my temples, I realized I was becoming overly anxious. Even the sight of a doctor put me on edge.
"Don't worry. You still got me," Steven gently reassured me.
"About Jimmy… " I wanted to know more about Jimmy and the cooperation he mentioned.
"He came to the orphanage to see me three years ago. He knew I was just pretending to be an idiot." Steven held my hand, leading me into the elevator.
"The moment I laid eyes on him, I sensed he was incredibly dangerous. He showed me the evidence and facts about Genome Society, telling me that genetic modification had become popular among capitalists 20 years ago…
"The wealthy began experimenting with genome editing, using their own sperm, high-quality eggs, and surrogates to create a superior population, ensuring the longevity of their assets and families."
There was no denying that money was the root of all evil.
"The concept of genome editing raised ethical questions. While scientists and researchers proposed it and successfully validated it with animal experiments, such inhumane actions were strictly prohibited worldwide.
"As a result, a criminal organization emerged—Genome Society. Operating in secrecy, they conduct experiments on human subjects, whom they refer to as 'experimental subjects'."
Stephany and I were undoubtedly among these experimental subjects, and it was likely that many others worldwide shared our genetic makeup.
"To gain further trust from the wealthy and secure their funding, these experimental subjects were implanted into the wombs of ordinary mothers. They were born, raised, and integrated into society. Each was closely observed by dedicated personnel documenting their behavior.

The readers' comments on the novel: Revenge After Death (Michael and Stephanie)
A very good thriller in the beginning ruined by unnecessary twist and unrealistic plots. Exaggerating the story just for the sake of it. Totally disappointed...
