Chapter 329
After knowing that Jimmy was now the manager of the laboratory in the desolate area, Dexter started pestering me to go home.
He had been acting strange lately. I couldn’t put a finger to it, yet I could feel it-he seemed to be clingier and even more anxious about me now.
Not only was he clingy, but he refused to let me leave his sight all the time, regardless of our location.
Logically speaking, I should be a valuable experimental subject to Genome Society. If they wanted to keep me alive and make money off me, they wouldn’t be forcibly bringing me back to the laboratory when the police were watching me closely.
But somehow, Dexter seemed to be even more anxious than before. He was even saying strange things all the time.
"I bought a mountain-view villa at Celadon Hill, Sophia. It’s beautifully surrounded by mountains and lakes. He showed me a photo of his newly bought villa on our way back.
To Dexter, a residence was just a safe space-it was sufficient as long as it was secure and private. But he made sure to choose properly this time.
The villa was located on the back mountain of Huma. Although secluded, it had a great environment and was completely safe. Since the villa was perched on the mountain peak, there was a clear view of the road winding up the mountain.
"Are you planning to take me and the kids up to the mountain to live like hermits?’ I looked at Dexter, amused. "Ashton and Xan need to socialize."
They needed to interact with society and start mingling with other kids their age.
I was well aware of the reason behind placing Sophia Milford in a college and society back then. It was a form of socialization for an experimental subject like her. But it was just something that had to be done. Humans could not survive apart from society-society was there wherever humans were. Humans needed to learn to fit in, even if it meant putting up a front.
