Julie’s POV:

What happened to him? Was he sick? Was there something wrong with him?

The first thought that came to my mind was that I was worried about Jack’s health. I wanted to get up to see him, but 1 couldn’t. My body and consciousness seemed to be completely separated. I couldn’t control my body and realized it wasn’t Jack’s fault because he couldn’t take care of himself now.

It took me a long time to realize I was dead or unconscious.

I looked down at my hand. It was translucent.

Great fear swept through my entire body – could I still return to my body? What was I doing? Was 1 dead or alive? My body seemed to be still breathing. What would happen to me? Would I be in a vegetative state?

Before I could panic for long, there was a change in Jack. His pain seemed to have lessened a little. He covered his head and moaned as he sat up. He stared angrily at where my body had fallen.

He couldn’t seem to see my soul.

“… I was unlucky, I almost failed.” He looked at me as if he was looking at an irreconcilable enemy. “As expected of the mother who provided me with noble power genes. She awakened her power only when she was about to die. What a pity. If you were still alive, you might have been able to provide me with more powerful subordinates.

“But it doesn’t matter. I’m already twelve years old. Those old b*stards will start creating descendants for me when my first night’s sleep comes. It doesn’t matter if I have you as a mother or not.”

Jack’s words shocked me.

Did I also awaken the power of mind control? This made me feel a second of surprise and then endless regret. It was too late. Everything was irreversible. No power could bring the dead back to life.

And creating descendants for Jack. How was that possible? Jack was infertile. It seemed to be a hereditary disease that he was born with. He would never be able to have a child of his own in this lifetime.

Unless…

A guess made me shudder.

Unless the Evaria Family did what they did to me to the other girls, tricking more innocent girls into experiments that were more painful than hell, collecting more breeding machines’, and artificially creating Jack’s descendants through technological means.

No, no, absolutely not!

I was terrified. I knew the horror of the experiment. It was not just about having a child. Cold equipment, painful surgeries, drugs with all kinds of side effects, and corpses that were dragged away like dead dogs.

I’d personally experienced this and seen it with my own eyes. How could 1 let more innocent girls be involved in this?

1 believed I must stop this conspiracy – but how? When 1 was alive, I couldn’t even protect myself. Now that I was a ghost, 1 couldn’t do anything.

Jack rested on the spot for a while. He coughed violently, and his face turned from pale to a sickly red.

“Damn it, this broken body.” He cursed non-stop and looked at the weather outside the window. The rain was still falling, but he seemed to have no choice but to leave immediately.

He was leaving. I had to keep up with him and think of a way to stop the tragedy that was about to happen.

But something else was bothering me: What should 1 do here if I leave? Only Jack and I knew the truth of tonight. I did not doubt that Jack would erase everyone’s memories tonight, even if they were only in a deep sleep. If I didn’t do something, all the secrets would never come to light.

What should 1 do? Stay or leave?

I struggled between Jack, walking further away, and Layla, lying in the bathtub.

My obsession grew heavier and heavier. It was for Jack, Layla, this manor, and the Evaria Family. 1 felt endless pain. Both alive and dead, I was trash. I could do nothing.

My obsession with both sides seemed to be tearing me apart. 1 gradually felt pain in my soul. I lowered my head and saw my soul filled with dense cracks. 1 seemed to be about to be cut into two, and the cause of all this was myself.

This gave me a new way out.

Why didn’t he split himself into two? Some of them stayed in the manor, while some left with Jack. This way, they could have the best of both worlds.

Thus, I immediately followed my thoughts and tried to think of ways to split myself apart. This process was extremely painful, ten thousand times more painful than physical division. But I had to endure it because I had something to do and was willing to pay any price.

But this process was too painful. My soul was wailing, warning me to stop. I even felt like I was shedding tears – could souls cry? I knew nothing about souls, so I could only choose to take this risk.

The moment the tears fell, the pain peaked, followed by a sudden calm and relief.

I succeeded. I felt myself being divided into two parts. One part returned to my body faintly, and the other floated toward Jack involuntarily.

I was too tired, and my mind began to blur. My brain was like a lump of paste, and I could no longer think.

‘I must succeed…’

Before I lost consciousness, I thought for the last time..
