Nellie didn't show a hint of surprise on her face. From the moment Rea shared that photo on social media, she had a feeling it was meant for her eyes.

With a wry smile, Nellie picked up her coffee cup but didn't take a sip. "When did you find out?" she asked.

"Last year," Mirabella replied without skipping a beat. "I caught Nick digging into your background."

"About Chester?" ?s s find?novel.net

"Yeah." Mirabella nodded, then added, "You went to the hospital last night, didn't you?"

"You don't miss a thing," Nellie sighed softly. "I'm glad you're here this time."

If not, she might never have had the chance to see him again.

Mirabella raised an eyebrow. "So, you really are Chester's mother?"

Nellie's face clouded over, and she didn't respond directly. Instead, she said, "I'd like you to keep my being here a secret from Chester."

To him, she'd been gone for more than a decade.

If she was considered dead, why come back and stir up everyone's emotions? Mirabella sensed Nellie was hiding something and couldn't help but ask, "Why?" "With your skills, you must know my body's not gonna hold up much longer," Nellie said, her smile tinged with sadness. "The living always bear the most pain."

Mirabella was quiet for a moment before nodding. “I can keep quiet.”

"Thank you."

Nellie trusted Mi

Mirabella's word,

which is why she'd chosen to meet her. "No need for thanks, Nellie." Mirabella lightly tapped her fingers on the able, lost in thought before asking, "Could Cassie be you and Chester's child?" s

Nellie almost spilled her coffee. "No, why would you think that?"

"Why is it that only his blood type works with Chester's in the fusion tests?" Mirabella asked slowly.

When she was developing the blood fusion agent, she tried other blood types, but none worked except for Cassie's.

In genetics, only direct blood relatives have the highest compatibility.

"That's a long story," Nellie said, setting down her cup, her eyes drifting into the past. "The first time I saw Cassie was in the lab at the main research facility."

"The main facility?" Mirabella was surprised, not expecting the child to be linked to that place.

"Yes." Nellie's eyes grew cold at the

mention of the main facility. "You

know,

the scientists there are

absolute lunatics. Every year

countless people become their research subjects, and Cassie was one of them." s

She remembered seeing the child for the first time, hooked up to countless tubes and experimental machines.

Barely a few months old, he was subjected to daily injections of all sorts of drugs, a cruelty beyond words.

Mirabella looked at Nellie, remembering the unknown substance found in Cassie's blood during earlier tests. She said, "Cassie was chosen because of his unique blood, wasn't he?"

"Exactly. His unique blood is part of

it," Nellie said gravely, pausing before revealing a secret she'd kept for years. He's also the most successful genetic modification among that batch of infants." s

Mirabella was momentarily stunned.
