Alfie glanced at his companion without the slightest change in his expression, “Relax. I know what I am doing?
One week ago. Alfie got informed of a medical seminar and went abroad for it. Upon his arrival, he found himself in a secret research institute instead of a seminar, and his task was to treat the injured there. Alfie had been chosen because he was an internationally renowned surgeon, a gihind
In the institute, there were outstanding surgeons from other countries. They helped the patients with various problems and discussed their Treatments. Anyway, it was another kind of medical seminar.
Apan from the surgery, the doctors knew little about their patients. They d wounds.
didn’t know who the injured were and the reasons for those terrible
Through communication with other doctors, Alfie obtained a lot of useful information. For example, the injured differed from the ordinary folks for their special physical structure and amazing resilience. They looked like humans, but they were stronger, more agile, and faster than the
average.
Before this trip abroad, Alfie had paid attention to Nina’s live show,
In the live show, Nina had once dived into the sea and caught a tuna that two grown men could barely pick up, and her friend, Jacqueline, had broken a coconut tree with one kick
The audience of the show insisted that the tuna and the coconut tree were the special props prepared for the show by the program team, but Alfie was clear that Nina and Jacqueline could do the stunts like those if they shared the same physical structure with the injured he was operating on
Now, Alle was convinced that Nina, her friends, and the injured in this research institute wete cyborgs
In a small talk, a doctor mentioned an experiment about cyborgs. His cousin had been a member of that experiment. As ever, the top–notch people knew some hidden secret unknown by the public.
It was an open secret in their circles that some powerful countries were developing cyborgs, but the project that doctor’s cousin was in seemed a bit different because of its experimental subject. The subject of that project was the kid whose body had more possibilities than that of a grown mail:
The main source for the subject of that experiment was the orphanage because few parents agreed to let their children be exposed to the risk of serious har
Then, the failure of the experiment became reasonable for most of the children from the orphanage had birth defects that resulted in their
abandonment.
With persistence, the research institute tried every way and finally got some good subjects to solve the problem.
The doctor didn’t go into detail about the ways the institute had tried, but his peers were clear about what that meant.
To get better experimental subjects than those from the orphanage, the institute needed a more extensive range of sources. Understandably, there lad been many shady dealings.
Hearing the story, Alfie thought of his sister, Nina.
Greg had been slandered for deliberately leading Nina out of the house and lening her get abducted, but Alfie knew that Greg was the first member of the Woods family to accept her,
The reasons included that Allie had seen Greg sneak into the nursery and lull the crying Nina to sleep at midnight, that Alfie had found Greg reading the parenting book when their father lamented over the death of their mother, and that Alfie found Greg dejected after Nina was abducted.
In the search for Nina, Darell said that all the surveillance cameras along the road had been damaged. Obviously, Nina’s disappearance was mor than an abduction
Together with the information from that doctor, Alfie now understood that Nina had been chosen for that terrible experiment. She was likely chosen before her birth, Alfie thought.
To take Nina away, Emily became the major obstacle. With Emily around, Nina would become the center of attention, it would be easy to take Nina away when her family dwelled in grief over the death of Emily.
Chapter 201
Alfie had such an inference because Emily’s death was suspicious.
There was a certain probability that women died from a difficult delivery, but Emily could have survived if Nina had been born by cesarean section. The problem was that the doctor had insisted on a natural delivery and given Emily no medical help. In the end, Emily died from severe bleeding
The doctor was executed, and Emily’s deaths was judged as a medical error. After a second thought, Alfie reached a different conclusion. Emily’s death seemed more like a conspiracy, and Nina, an excellent experimental subject, was the goal
Humphrey seems to know the truth, given what he said over the phone. How did they get it? Alfie wondered.
He decided to put the problem aside because he was being watched now. He might not leave this institute safe and sound if he did anything stupid
FLOW.
The number of the injured skyrocketed recently, so Alfie knew that the institute was working on some research.
He knew little about the research, but he had a feeling that peace and stability in this world would be undermined soon.
Darell and Humphrey arrived home. They gathered the other members of the Woods family to the study.
Gabriel hadn’t left the Woods‘ yet although Mandy had told him not to come so frequently. Gabriel loved to hang out with w Clifford didn’t protest, Gabriel decided to stay for another night.

At the sight of Charlie and Gabriel, Greg whistled, tilted his head, and teased Henry. “Dad, what are you doing? Do you really see Charlie and Gabriel as one of us? Is that why you summoned them over for our family meeting?”
Hearing the phrase, one of us, Henry could not help but feel excited. His eyes lit up as he looked at Gabriel. Henry, a straight man with large eyes and thick eyebrows, seemed to glow with love.
Charlie’s eyelids twitched at Henry’s ‘s excitement. Charlie whispered to Gabriel, “Look what you’ve done! What are you going to do with him?”
Gabriel was dumbfounded by Henry’s excitement, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Don’t push me, or I may have the gender reassignment surgery tomorrow! Gabriel thought
