Everyone let out a gasp when that name was mentioned, as though it was taboo to speak that name.
“Make it quick! Do it this instant!”
“Yes, only he could do it!”
Back at Oakland City, in Wilcox family's private hospital, Zoey was staring blankly out of a window, having just survived another terrible migraine attack.
Wynona had a strange feeling she was different compared to before. She seemed cold and rather ruthless.
All the specialists in the hospital had taken turns to give her a checkup using the sophisticated equipment they had, but they could not figure
out what was wrong with her.
Wynona could only place her hope on the arrival of the international specialists.
“Ms. Wilcox, a medical team from Zarain is here. They wanted to examine Ms. Lopez!” A hospital staff brought her good news.
“Thank goodness! Yes, please let them in!” Wynona cheered up upon hearing that news and immediately went out to welcome them.
Bruce was leading the Zarain team, but he wasn't lying about it being a medical team. Among them were top medical specialists from Zarain.
Wynona was overjoyed and did not suspect a thing, so she let them into the hospital.
“Ms. Wilcox, we need to know more details about the patient. What happened to her?”
Bruce made use of the opportunity to pry some information about what happened in the laboratory on that fateful day.
“Well,...” Wynona hesitated, wondering how she could explain the part where the rescuers had pronounced them dead after the incident.
Bruce gave her a smile and said, “Please do not hide anything from us, Ms. Wilcox. That is not going to help us with the diagnosis. Moreover, we know Ms. Lopez and you were supposed to have perished in the explosion at Gamma Tech training base. Why are the two of you still alive and here with us?”
“Huh!” Wynona was taken aback, as she had not expected him to know that as well.
“All right, I will be honest with you then. This is what happened...” She briefly told him about the particle collision accident but left out most of
the details.
Bruce did not get the information he was seeking, so he continued to probe, “Oh, but that doesn't explain much. Did anything special happen to Ms. Lopez before the particle collision accident?”
“This information is crucial, so please tell us the truth!” The rest chipped in to pressure Wynona.
