Everyone let out a gasp when that name was mentioned, as though it was taboo to speak that name.

“Make it quick! Do it this instant!”

“Yes, only he could do it!”

Back at Oakland City, in Wilcox family’s private hospital, Zoey was staring blankly out of a window, having just

survived another terrible migraine attack.

Wynona had a strange feeling she was different compared to before. She seemed cold and rather ruthless.

All the specialists in the hospital had taken turns to give her a checkup using the sophisticated equipment they had,

but they could not figure out what was wrong with her.

Wynona could only place her hope on the arrival of the international specialists.

“Ms. Wilcox, a medical team from Zarain is here. They wanted to examine Ms. Lopez!” A hospital staff brought her

good news.

“Thank goodness! Yes, please let them in!” Wynona cheered up upon hearing that news and immediately went out

to welcome them.

Bruce was leading the Zarain team, but he wasn’t lying about it being a medical team. Among them were top

medical specialists from Zarain.

Wynona was overjoyed and did not suspect a thing, so she let them into the hospital.

“Ms. Wilcox, we need to know more details about the patient. What happened to her?” Bruce made use of the

opportunity to pry some information about what happened in the laboratory on that fateful day.

“Well,…” Wynona hesitated, wondering how she could explain the part where the rescuers had pronounced them

dead after the incident.

Bruce gave her a smile and said, “Please do not hide anything from us, Ms. Wilcox. That is not going to help us with

the diagnosis. Moreover, we know Ms. Lopez and you were supposed to have perished in the explosion at Gamma

Tech training base. Why are the two of you still alive and here with us?”

“Huh!” Wynona was taken aback, as she had not expected him to know that as well.

“All right, I will be honest with you then. This is what happened…” She briefly told him about the particle collision

accident but left out most of the details.

Bruce did not get the information he was seeking, so he continued to probe, “Oh, but that doesn’t explain much.

Did anything special happen to Ms. Lopez before the particle collision accident?”

“This information is crucial, so please tell us the truth!” The rest chipped in to pressure Wynona.

The main subject of interest to Bruce was Jared. He was hoping Wynona would have useful information on his

whereabouts.

Wynona paused in hesitation, then decided to share more with the Zarain team.

“The truth is, Zoey was involved in an experiment before the particle collision accident. It was about the transfer of

one’s thoughts and consciousness to another. They came very close to success, but unfortunately, it failed at the

last crucial moment.”

She went on to briefly describe what transpired during Zoey’s experiment.

“Oh my! That actually happened?” Bruce couldn’t help but gasp in shock. He was positive the other person involved

in that experiment was Jared.

“What about the other person? Is he or she still alive?” One of the Zarain team members asked, unable to hold

back his curiosity.

Wynona shook her head and said, “No. Only the two of us survived.”

“Oh?” Bruce and his men were truly shocked to hear that. If Jared was dead, how could they have detected his

consciousness?

It did not make sense at all!

Just then, Bruce heard a voice over his earpiece reporting, “Mr. Johnston, we detected Mr. Schmidt’s consciousness,

and it is nearby. We suspect he is in the hospital.”

“What?” It was an unexpected piece of news from his team surveying outside the hospital grounds.

“Arhhh…!”

Suddenly, a piercing scream could be heard, and it came from one of the wards.

“Oh no, another attack!” Wynona immediately ran toward the ward, and the Zarain team followed her.

Inside the room, they could see Zoey rolling around in pain on the ground, and her screams were haunting and

unsettling.

“Arhhh…!” Another agonizing scream and they could see Zoey was in a lot of pain, as her hands had dug into the

ground and left deep scratch marks on the hard floor.

Wynona was shocked beyond words as that attack was much more severe than all the previous attacks she had

witnessed so far.

“Mr. Johnston, I could pinpoint the location of Mr. Schmidt. He is very near to you. In fact, he is right in front of you!”

The surveying men reported to Bruce over his earpiece again.

Boom!

It was a eureka moment for Bruce!

He looked at Zoey in disbelief and seemed to have pieced the puzzle together.
