Chapter 227 Spying? (1/2)

Sarah looked at her daughter thoughtfully. ”Daughter, you should focus on the blood transfusion only and avoid doing dangerous missions, please don't wear out yourself, you are doing too many things at the same time, you should have let the king and his men do the rescuing while you focus on blood transfusion and have a good rest in between,” she said.

Jessy smiled fondly at her mother. ”That's what I've been doing, Mother. I just rescued the mortals, it was an easy thing to do, and the king and his men do the killing for me, I did not kill a single soul last night—I swear!” she said seriously.

”Then—how many people you killed so far, Jessy?” Sarah asked her daughter the question without even batting an eyelash. She saw the dark cloud covering her child's eyes quickly. She can't monitor her going out of the Facility all the time and this got her worried. ”Tell me, child,” she said in a calm voice not wanting to alarm her.

Jessy looked at her mother mystified. ”Mother, please asked me another question I would be glad to answer everything,” she said trying to avoid answering the question.

”Just tell me how many and what circumstances drove you to kill them? I will give you a benefit of a doubt,” Sarah said. She knew her daughter was avoiding her questions but she must press on.

Jessy breathed deeply. ”Just two—Mother, one is an old military official I put him to sleep after I discover his sinister plan to bomb the facility, then the other one is a serial killer who slashed my throat with his knife—so I did not hesitate to kill him with his knife,” she said.

Sarah was horrified. ”A-are you spying on the military officials?”

”Yes, why can't I? They are surely spying on us,” she said. ”I'm just doing the countermeasure...”

”How long have you been doing this—spying thing?” Sarah asked nervously.

Jessy shrugged her shoulders. ”Not long ago, I mean—just recently, I happened to come across a military camp near us wanting to launch an attack on the Facility, so I took the initiative to scare and immobilized them by stealing their weaponry and follow them back to the military camp. That's why I killed Major Miller because he is going to bomb the whole Facility including the human workers above the Facility,” Jessy said.

Sarah was having a hard time accepting the truth that her sweet innocent daughter was more than capable of murdering people in cold blood.

”I'm not sorry I killed those people, Mother, yeah—I did feel a bit of remorse after I have done the deed but some things needed to be done no matter what the circumstances will be...” she defended her actions.

Sarah sighed deeply. ”Just promise me one thing, child, as long you can control yourself don't kill people without giving it much thought because once you end somebody's life you can never bring back a person's life. So think twice before you kill someone—okay?”

Jessy nodded her head. ”I understand, Mother. Great power comes with great responsibility,” she said looking glum.

Sarah rubbed her daughter's arms. ”I'm not condemning that you killed somebody, just make sure that they are worth killing and you won't hear a thing from me,” she said. But she was also aware that sometimes people cannot always make the right decision all the time—there will be fatal mistakes along the way.

Jessy stood up. ”Let's go now, Mother. I need to go back to the clinic,” she said putting up a wise face.
