Would their marriage be a romantic tale or utter disaster? ~ Except~ "Wait, let me get this straight," she says, her voice rising. "You want me to get pregnant?" Alexander's face remains impassive. "They, yeah." Sophia stares at him, searching for signs of a head injury or a hidden camera crew. Finding neither, she decides this must be his twisted form of play. "You're going crazy," she announces, grabbing her things. "I'm leaving." She's halfway to the door when his words stop her cold.

CHAPTER 181

The baby could never be born.

"This is the consequence of tampering with human genomes. Sophia was born a superhuman. She was naturally immune to various diseases, but it also means that her body isn't suited for reproduction since her birth."

"Much like a mule bred from a donkey and a horse. A mule is incapable of reproduction."

Sophia was the metaphorical mule in question. It would be impossible for her to conceive a child, let alone a healthy one.

Genome editing was a bit like Pandora's box. Once it was opened, the consequences that followed were unpredictable.

"This isn't a trivial matter. It's honestly terrifying. The scope of implications is very broad. Sophia was probably not their sole experimental subject. There must be an evil and terrifying organization that had everything planned."
