As they left the hospital, Stephanie warned Timothy to stay away from Xan.
Before he could even try to salvage his reputation in her eyes, she got into the car and slammed the door,
almost catching his fingers.
"Mrs. Lincoln! Please letexplain, Mrs. Lincoln! My feelings for Xan are sincere, |-"Zachary stopped Timothy
from running after them.
"Can't you tell from Mrs. Lincoln's gaze that she's about to run you down from behind the wheels?" Zachary said
fearfully.
Timothy felt chills running down his back. "Forget it... I'll explain to her sother day."
"Ashton told you to stay away from his mother," Zachary replied with a shrug.
"But | " Timothy felt aggrieved. He was still hoping to change Stephanie's opinion about him.

"Let's just go for now. We'll get Ashton to help once he's back." Zachary started pulling him away.
Timothy looked at Zachary upon recalling something. "Xan mentioned something about you liking Ashton? What
did she mean by that?"
Zachary almost choked and hurriedly waved his hands. "Don't listen to Xan's nonsense. She misunderstood the
situation! That day, my pants got tangled up, so | got Ashton to helpout. He pulled too hard and ripped my
pants open. Xan happened to walk in and saw what happened."
Timothy was speechless. He was amazed at how Zachary had dared to ask Ashton for help knowing Ashton's
strength.
As the two left the hospital, a young man in a hoodie, who was sucking a lollipop, flashed a strange smile in a
corner.
"Even though that woman named Xan is dumb, she's quite a fighter-she took down seven people on her own,"
the man said in a call. "Ashton is under the protection of GenSociety overseas, so we can't touch him for
now, but his sister is still here. I'm sure he'll cback if we abduct one of his family members."
The young man removed his hood, revealing a childish face with a sinister look. "Eirene and | will transfer to
Xandra's university tomorrow. We'll find ways to take her away."
Steven had returned from his morning jog by the tStephanie woke up early the next morning. He stepped
out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel after showering. It was a pleasing sight to her eyes this early in the day.
Stephanie stretched herself and leaned against the headboard. She beckoned Steven over with a finger. "Come
here and lethave a feel."
He was already used to her feeling him up by now. As such, he worked hard in exercising daily to stay in shape.
"Carryto wash up." Stephanie climbed onto Steven's back once he obediently walked over. Resigned, he
carried her over to the bathroom with much affection.
"Have you heard anything about Ashton recently?" she asked.
Stephanie found herself worrying about many things on a daily basis. Not only was she worried about Ashton
being in danger, but she was also worried about Xan being attracted to jerks.
"My men are keeping an eye on him. It's unlikely those from the laboratory will be able to take him away on
someone else's turf. The most they can do is to create sfun for Ashton." Steven wasn't worried about Ashton
at all.

"I'm more worried about Xan instead," he muttered. It wasn't that he was favoring one over the other, but Xan's
evolution was happening too quickly.
Steven had been closely monitoring her physical changes and rate of evolution. She could still hide it well for
now, but if she continued to evolve and her genes continued to mutate, he wasn't sure if things would stay under
control.
Things would quickly spiral if it got out of hand. Not only might Xan be found out by those from the laboratory,
but she might even pique the interest of those from the overseas branches of GenSociety.
They might then experiment on her, dissecting and analyzing her.
If that happened, their family would once again be forced to live a life on the run. Steven would be left with no
choice but to flee with his family and live in hiding.
"Will those medications be able to control the speed of Xan's evolution?" Stephanie asked softly, equally worried.
She and Steven had been working hard over the years to develop a drug to suppress Xan's gene division to
prevent further evolution. However, all they managed was to slow it down as her cells were dividing too rapidly.
Stephanie dared not consider if xan might truly achieve immortality if this continued. That was the dream of
many.
"Reincarnation" was just an alternative for those who couldn't attain immortality. After all, who would want to
keep swapping ordinary bodies if they could make their bodies immortal?
