"Zachary!" Timothy hurriedly rushed over to check on Zachary. He then took out his phone to dial 911.
"Xan!" He paced around anxiously when he saw Xan turning around and walking away.
Zachary's condition wasn't looking good, so he couldn't leave Zachary at the moment. However, Xan's behavior scared him.
The medical staff finally arrived after a long while. Timothy anxiously rushed to the lecture hall to look for Xan, but he didn't see her. Instead, he spotted Stephanie.
"Mrs. Lincoln, Xan "He was nervous whenever he spoke to Stephanie.
Stephanie looked pale as she shot Timothy a cold glare. "Xan isn't feeling well, so I got my husband to take her
home. I've already arranged for her to take leave from the university, so she probably won't be back anytime soon.

Timothy was stunned. He wanted to ask about Xan's condition, but he found Stephanie's gaze too scary.
Stephanie did not offer more information. She walked into the lecture hall to get Xan's bag and belongings.
Petros was obnoxiously leaning against the chair while Eirene was coldly chuckling with her chin propped. They were each blocking one end of the row of seats, preventing Stephanie from entering.
Eirene gave Stephanie a contemptuous look as if she were looking at a defective experimental subject from the previous generation. These experimental subjects had even developed a sense of pride now.
Stephanie walked over to Petros and gestured for him to move away.
"Move aside! Don't go overboard. I haven't settled the scores with you over Zachary yet!" Timothy angrily stepped forward, trying to grab Petros.
Stephanie reached out to stop Timothy's arm. She knew that he would lose his arm if he took action.
She then reached out to grab Petros by the wrist before he could make a move at Timothy.
Petros frowned, seemingly surprised that a first-generation defective experimental subject would possess such strength and speed.
"You'd better stop it while I'm being nice, kid," Stephanie replied, her voice low.
She was here to take Xan away not because she was afraid of them but because she did not want to stir trouble.
The reason Petros made a move on Zachary was to force Ashton to come back. No one knew what got into Ashton when he bought the flight ticket back without a word.
Stephanie had a hard time understanding the camaraderie between ordinary people. While she shared a deep bond with Joel, Eason, and the others, it was a friendship forged through life-and-death experiences.
Ashton had seemed aloof since young, yet he was actually rushing back without hesitation for a Zachary. This was something she had never expected.
However, Steven was quite pleased about it. He thought that Ashton's socialization was a great success-Ashton was now loyal and caring.
Stephanie couldn't understand Steven's excitement when both Ashton and Xan were now targeted by others.
Petros looked at Stephanie and frowned. He could sense that she wasn't making a move on him just because she did not want to stir up trouble.
After she yanked him away, she retrieved Xan's belongings and deliberately chose to walk out from Eirene's side. Eirene frowned, her expression darkening as she glanced at Petros. She refused to budge when Petros kept quiet." Can't you walk from the other side, old hag?"
Stephanie raised her brows. Eirene had clearly struck a nerve.
"You should be looking up to me because I've made it up till today. You'll never be able to live up to my age." Stephanie chuckled coldly before grabbing Eirene's hair and slamming her head against the desk.
The desk, which had cracked from Xan's action earlier, crumbled entirely.
Stephanie, older and more mature, did not kick Eirene as Xan did. Instead, she tossed Eirene out by her hair.
Everyone stared at Stephanie in shock. Timothy couldn't even speak.
As expected from the mother-daughter duo, even their behaviors were similar. He finally knew who Xan had taken after.
"Mrs-" Timothy dared not call out to her for fear of getting beaten up.
Everyone in the lecture hall fell silent. However, they were amazed by how Eirene's nose was still intact after all that had happened.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
