Genetic human body experiments were always held with strict human supervision around the world. Although this violated the very principles of humanity, it wasn't difficult to understand what they were doing. The worst result would be the loss of a person's life for another. They were simply trading lives.
Perhaps it was because I had died once before, but I did not feel angry when I heard this. Instead, I felt a sense of relief.
When the poison took effect, everything was painful, dizzy, and nauseating. I was rarely conscious at the time. I often had no idea about what I had done and was worried that I wouldn't be with my children for long. However, after I survived the procedure, I was able to restore Hendrix's health. So it was worthwhile.
Nathan was very familiar with Hendrix. If Hendrix knew that his health would come at the cost of all the pain I had suffered, he would never had agreed to it.
But he didn't know me well enough. If he had told me about his identity and purpose earlier on, he would have known that I would have happily sacrificed myself for Hendrix.
Aaron was stoned-faced as well. He narrowed his eyes in judgement. "So six years ago, Arianna kept fainting and coughing out blood because of those side effects?"
Having said this, the old researcher suddenly let go of Aaron's leg. He lowered his head and sat on the ground. I wondered what he was afraid of.
Aaron's eyes looked sharp. He kicked the old man who was on the ground. He practically roared out, "Stop dawdling. Tell me everything!"
The old researcher was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. He was clutching his chest. Aaron's kick was much too harsh for him.
The young researcher quickly stood in front of the old man and begged, "Please don't do anything to Mr. Koch. I'll tell you everything. The blood coughing and dizziness were from a poison that we injected to cover up the truth. Shortly after Miss Reid fell into a coma, we removed the poison under Mr. Granger's guidance. As for the actual side effects from the gene test, we don't know what it would have been. There's nothing to say about it!"
