Chapter 255
"Let’s go check on Sofia," Zion pulled Violette away, fearing she might get emotional.
Violette murmured softly, "You’re lying... Sophia has reincarnated. She’s alive..."
Zion sighed helplessly. "As a forensic scientist, you should think scientifically."
Tears welled up in Violette’s eyes as she responded, "Science hasn’t taught me how to accept the death of my best friend! Compared to science, I’d rather believe Sophia is alive..."
Despite Violette’s faith in science, it provided no solace for the anguish of losing a loved one. Hence, it was no wonder she chose to believe otherwise.
Eason glanced at Dexter before silently turning away. Una and I waited for Dexter’s response.
"Even if Sophia has turned into a dog, I’d still recognize her," Dexter rebuffed Una’s advances, his voice calm yet distant.
I couldn’t help but find his response both amusing and bewildering. Looking up at Dexter, my tears seemed to dry up before they threatened to fall.
How could he be so obstinate, to the point of absurdity?
"Who are you calling a dog?" I retorted hoarsely, attempting to grab his shirt but failing to reach him. Una suddenly laughed. "I’d love to see how far you’ll delude yourself... Anyway, now that the laboratory is exposed, the organization will want to eliminate everything related to it—including me. If I want to survive, I’ll need someone to protect me, Dexter."
Approaching Dexter, she continued, "I have the same genes as Sophia Milford flowing in my body. So, you’ll protect me like how you protected her, won’t you?"
