"Phoebe?" Colin approached me, concerned, and gently touched my forehead.
I suddenly looked up, snapping back to reality. "I'm fine..."
"No health issues, everything's okay," the doctor reassured us. "Also, the results from the health department's check came through, all clear."
Stella breathed a sigh of relief. "We really dodged a bullet there..."
"Health department?" I frowned.
"The headmaster of that special school we found, the one who was terrified out of his mind, he had HIV. And among those of us who were locked up together, one person had HIV and three others had contagious diseases."
Stella clarified.
"Annora, it turns out, was an HIV carrier. Her husband, Jaxon, led a reckless life, engaging in risky behaviors both before and after their marriage, in addition to being abusive and an alcoholic... She got infected by Jaxon."
I took a deep breath. In such circumstances, the risk of infection was indeed high, especially for those injured by her.
"Stella! Did you get checked?" I instinctively grabbed Stella's wrist, one of those who had been injured by Annora, potential blood contact...
"I did, I'm clear, don't worry," Stella quickly reassured me, smiling. "Guess I'm just lucky, should probably buy a lottery ticket..."
I paused, not knowing what to say.
Before finding out about Annora and the others being HIV positive, they wouldn't have thought to take post-exposure prophylaxis, and by the time they found out, it might have been too late.
"Sir, Melody is HIV positive and is currently in a state of breakdown. Dexter is with her," Eric informed us as we were about to leave the hospital, whispering to Colin.
I numbly sat on the edge of the bed.
Melody contracted HIV...
It seemed like something Annora did intentionally. Since Melody couldn't

currently incurable, was her goal.
"Whether it's the HIV infection or this massacre, it was supposed to be strictly confidential. Matthew finding out wasn't a coincidence... How did the news about Melody's infection get out?" I looked up at Eric.
Eric took out his phone. "Someone deliberately posted it online, the ID tracked is overseas. The police suspect it's Annora." Annora had already exposed herself, she now had nothing to fear, posting online:
Hello everyone, I'm one of the
executors behind this massacre game, a pitiful woman. My family
valued sons over daughters. From a young age, I was cast aside to live with my grandmother, unloved by my parents, eventually drained of all my worth and married off to an ignorant thug for a so-called dowry of a hundred thousand. Content
I was abused, mistreated by my husband, maliciously infected with HIV, experiencing despair like never before.
Until I came across the Erase to Zero Plan.
This world is too dark, filled with too many parasites that need to be eliminated. Thus, we orchestrated this massacre game.
In the game, I remained hidden among everyone, and in the end, I used a knife smeared with my blood to stab several survivors, including Melody, Stella, Caleb, and Foebe.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Annora seemed to intentionally post online.
I looked at Colin, worried.
He shook his head at me. "I won't contract the HIV virus because I have a natural immunity due to gic editing."
"Then why are Stella and I..." I asked, puzzled, casting a meaningful glance at Stella.
Foebe and Phoebe were from the same embryonic clone experiment. Phoebe was a fully gically modified test subject. What about Foebe? Could she also be?
If my current body had been gically enhanced, I might be immune to HIV, but Stella...
Stella, looking genuinely relieved, said, "I guess I'm just really lucky."
