Chapter 272
James led Clifford and Simon to see Jackie. Inside a massive nutrient tank, a storming girl with long, flowing hair was curled up, her knees drawn to her chest, Hosting gracefully in the green liquid
Her eyes were closed, and she appeared to be sleeping. Her face was calm and praceful, almost serene–beautifid in a way that reminded Simon of
a Bubie doll
Just by looking at the girl’s current appearance, no one would ever avsociate her with the human weapon someone with overwhelming power and strength that placed her at the pinnacle of humanity’s fighting forer
“Is this pckie“” Simon asked in surprise.
“Yes” James replied:
At this moment, Clifford’s gaze turned to Sensor, and he asked, “Mr. Lewis, now that you’ve seen Jackie, do you feel anything ummual?”
“Unvisual“” Sumon blinked in confitsion when he heard the question. He scratched his head with an embarrassed grin and replied to Clifford, “Well, Mr. Ster, could you explain more? I’m a bu slow and didn’t understand what you meant,
y resonance? Or when you
Clifford looked at the seemingly simple–minded Simon with patience. He explained, “What Lincan is, do you feel any look an Jackie now, do you feel a strong urge to save her, like an intense reaction in your body?”
“Well Sumon beard Clifford’s words and turned his gaze back to Jackie, who was peacefully asleep the nutrient tank.
Hir did want to help Jackie, especially since she was a member of the war machines, and he knew how much Mandy must care about her. However, he couldn’t think of anything when asked if he had any notabile reaction to her. He thought. Help her! How can I help?
Simon wasn’t a doctor. He had heard that Jackie’s body functions had almost completely stopped, leaving only her brain active, much like a vegetative state. Even modem medicine found it challenging to revive someone in that condition.
He had no medical knowledge, so expecting him to save her seemed like placing an unreasonable amount of hope on him. However, if he couldn’t
ve Jackie and Mandy found out her comrade had ended up like this, she’d be heartbroken. He didn’t want to make her sad..
And since Clifford, such a wise and calculating man, believed he could save her, maybe he really could. He thought, ‘Han what should I do to save Jackie? How do I even begin”
Just as the intense thought of wanting to save Jackie arose in Simon’s mind–without warning, his heart suddenly began to beat violently. At the same time, his palm suddenly slammed forcefully against the steel–reinforced glass wall of the massive nutrient tank, producing a sharp bang
Fortuutely the nutrient tank was made of tempered glass; if it hadn’t been, it would have indeed shattered from Simon’s powerful impact, Jackie’s survival depended entirely on the nutrient tank now. Any damage to the tank would mean she was beyond saving.
Clifford and James were stunned by seeing Simon strike the nutrient tank wall without warning. The next moment, they hurried forward and asked, “Mr. Lewis, what are you doing”
However, just at that moment, Simon suddenly clutched his head, his whole body collapsing to the ground as he screamed in agony. “Ah!”
“Mr. Lewis” James and Clifford were baffled by what was happening to Simon. They couldn’t understand why he suddenly collapsed, clutching his head and writhing in pain on the floor, unable even to respond. With no other choice, they instructed their team to take him to the infirmary immediately.
As the group hurried toward the infirmary with Simon, une noticed that within the nutrient tank, where Jackie should have been in a deep slumber, our of her fingers, curled tightly around her knees, uddenly twitched–almost imperceptibly, without any prior warning
At the other end, at the Snee family. With a sharp thand, Charlie’s phone slipped from his hand and fell to the floor, emiting a crisp sound. Secang this, both Nina, sitting nearly playing a game, and Gabriel immediately looked up at Charlie.
Gabriel asked, “Charlie, what’s wrong with you? It’s just a game. Why are you in worked upt You can’t even hold onto your phone.”
Nana tilted her head, looking at him with innocent concern, and asked, “Charlie, have you developed that condition where your hands sluke uncontrollably?
Charlie didn’t hold back and raised his hand, giving in a solid knock Though it didn’t hurt, the sudden impact still made her head spin, and her vision blurred as everything seemed to fili,
“My gosh! There are stars everywhere in front of my eyes Nina exclaimed, covering her eyes in surprise.

Chapter 272
The three troublemakers quickly surrounded Nina and explained, “Nina! Charlie has knocked you out!”
Abbie quickly took a wet wipe and gently placed it over Nina’s eyes. She kindly urged, “Nina, please rest your head on the sofa!”
Oliver put down his phone and glanced at Charlie. He asked, “Charlie, are you feeling unwell! Do you need to rest for a while?”
“I’m fine.” Charlie rubbed his forehead and explained, “I just had a sudden heart palpitation, and my hand shook, so I didn’t hold the phone properly.”
Oliver fell silent momentarily, and he thought. Heart palpitations? Isn’t that a form of heart disease? It’s not much better than that other condition.
Just as everyone paused their game because of Charlie’s slip–up, a servant suddenly rushed in from outside and told Oliver, “Mr. Snee, there’s a guest here to see you.”
“Who is it?” Oliver asked casually, not particularly concerned.
Then the serv
servant replied. It’s Miss Woods”
Hearing her
name, most people in the living room perked up. Nina quickly removed the wet wipe from her eyes and was the first to speak up. saying. “Didn’t I send Jessica to the hospital? Is she already up and about?”
“Wow, Jessica has good stamina for sure! Nina couldn’t resist getting a little mischievous again.
“Well, actually “The servant, noticing Nina’s eager expression, lowered her voice and continued, “It looks like she’s still wrapped in bandages, so doesn’t seem quite as lively as you might think.”
so she
“Then why is she here to see me?” Oliver frowned.
The servant replied, “Miss Woods said she’s here to return something to you.”
Charlie scoffed. At this moment, the sharp–wined Charlie seemed to have recovered. Upon hearing the servant’s answer, he let out a sly laugh and teased. The excuse of returning something is probably just that–returning it is a front. The real reason is likely to get closer to Oliver.”
“Looks like we’ve got some fun ahead!” Nina exclaimed excitedly. She sprang up from the sofa, waved her hand, and said, “Let’s go, let’s go, let’s meet Jessica!”
