Could we finally go home?
I was put in a trance. I had not contacted Theo since I left Whaldorf City so long ago. I figured it was best for us to go our separate ways if I could not give him a child.
Though I never thought we would meet again in a situation like this. Perhaps fate just liked playing jokes on people.
At the thought of this, I could not help but sigh, feeling more or less helpless. I was feeling a little lost at how I was supposed to continue the rest of my journey.
After recuperating for days, my arm was almost able t o move. Although it still hurt to move it, it was bearable to me.
On the day I was discharged from the hospital, Franky brought me back to the previous villa.
Upon entering the living room, Franky said before I could say anything, "Do you want to see your friends now, Ms. Lane?”
I nodded. "It’s time they go home.”
Later, Franky and I walked through the intelligent door once more and went down the long operating theater. I finally got to meet Shannon and the rest who were in the glass compartments.
They seemed a little dazed from being shut off for too long. With the lack of nutrition, they looked much thinner than before.
Sensing that someone was here, they looked at me with no changes in their gazes and expressions.
Moreover, they quickly shifted their gazes away from me as though they did not know me.
I felt sorry for them and looked at Franky, asking, " Why have they become like this?"
Franky glanced indifferently at Shannon and the rest, replying, "All the women who come here will eventually become like this. There's nothing surprising about that."
I felt my breathing turning laborious. With a husky voice, I asked, "Didn’t you promise to take good care of them?"
Franky snickered. "Allowing them to live is the best way to care for them. Otherwise, you'd be seeing a bunch of bodies by now."
"You!"
