Chapter 1223
[ 595 words ]
Shanley was slightly stunned, struggling to process what he just heard.
Did she mean what he thought she meant?
Before he could speak, Juniper suddenly grabbed his collar and pulled him toward the inner resting room.
“Thud-“
Shanley was pushed onto the large bed, his dark eyes wide in disbelief as he stared at the scene before him.
Something he normally would have anticipated was now actually making him a little
nervous.
Juniper braced her hands on either side of him and crashed her lips against his in a fiery kiss.
“Really?”
Three minutes later, Shanley pulled his head back, his breathing ragged. “You’re not afraid?”
“Stop talking!”
Juniper sealed his lips again, kissing him fiercely and urgently.
Shanley’s lip got cut against her teeth, making him frown hard in pain.
She was clearly inexperienced.
Juniper’s hand accidentally pressed hard against his chest.
“Hiss-“
Shanley, who still hadn’t fully recovered, couldn’t help but gasp, his face turning pale.
Was this girl trying to give him the time of his life, or end his life?!
Hearing his gasp, Juniper’s passion was instantly extinguished like a fire doused with cold water. She rolled over and lay beside him.
She rested her hands on her stomach, lying flat on her back, staring boredly at the ceiling.
“This is boring.”
Boring?
Shanley felt his masculine pride take a massive hit.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, preparing to say something, when she suddenly threw her arms around him.
The young woman leaned into him, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist and burying her face in his chest.
Shanley stiffened, instinctively wrapping his arms around her. “I’m sorry.” “Hmm?”
Juniper mumbled against his chest without looking up.
“My body still isn’t fully recovered. I ruined the mood,” Shanley said, a lazy smile curving his lips. “But don’t worry. I’ll focus on resting up. Next time, I’ll definitely make sure you’re satisfied.”
“Oh.”
Juniper let out a short laugh, holding him tighter. “Looking forward to your next performance.”
“Mm.”
Shanley’s Adam’s apple bobbed, his voice deep and raspy. “I’m looking forward to it too.”
A week passed.
Theia spent every day eating, sleeping, and waking up just to insult everyone.
Corvus and Nadia were frequently pushed to the point of smashing things in anger. “Corvus, Corvus “
Nadia ran out of the lab, but instead of finding Corvus, she bumped into Theia.
Her expression of pleasant surprise morphed into smugness as she glared at Theia like a bitter enemy. “Well Even without you, the experiment can still succeed.”
“In two days at most, the research will be complete.”
Theia’s grip on her cup slowly tightened.
She knew Nadia’s skill level.
With Juniper’s foundational data, completing the rest of the research would be extremely easy.
Corvus had occasionally dragged her into the lab to witness their progress.
It was entirely possible they would succeed.
But Theia hadn’t expected it to be this fast.
It seemed…
To prevent the research from succeeding and endangering humanity, her plan needed to be moved up.
But this plan…
Her chances of survival would plummet drastically.
Eclara City.
Silas Blackwood heard that Corvus and Theia hadn’t left Eclara City but were completely untraceable.
He racked his brain, thinking of every possible place Corvus could be hiding, until one vital location came to mind.

The beachside villa.
At 3:00 AM.
Juniper and Shanley were summoned to the hospital room.
“A beachside villa?” Juniper frowned, a profound darkness swirling in her eyes. Their people had scoured countless exits and even checked the coastal regions. But they had completely overlooked the remote, impoverished fishing villages.
“I’ll have someone look into it,” Shanley immediately notified Felton and Flint.
Soon, Flint sent back a photo: On a dilapidated, run-down stretch of beach stood a beautiful, pristine Villa

“Here!” Seeing the photo, Silas was overjoyed. “Juniper, Corvus and your mother
are definitely here!”
