Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1388

Emmy took a deep breath, slowly forcing herself to calm down. "Because an arrest warrant will be completely useless against him! The only reason Dean was able to transform into Abis was by utilizing an extreme, illegal biological experimental technology from the black market. You know exactly what that technology entails!" Her eyes were brimming with terror and raw hatred. "He murdered three innocent people just to become Abis! He is like a slippery eel. The moment he becomes a wanted man and gets spooked, he will absolutely choose to disappear again. To evade capture, he will not hesitate to undergo another genetic match. If that happens... three more innocent people will die because of him."

Emmy squeezed James's arm, her fingertips turning white from the force. "James, I do not want any more innocent people to be sacrificed. Losing Penny has already brought me enough agony. Let me think. There has to be a way. We can find a way to trap him and eliminate him without alerting him, without losing a single soldier. Please?"

James stared at the resolve and expectation in her eyes, remaining silent for a long time. Finally, he placed his hand over hers and spoke in a low, steady voice. "Alright. We will do it your way this time." He locked the metal case containing the Mnemosyne Interface and picked it up by the handle. "I am going to speak with Calony now and tell him to hold off on the warrant, strictly keeping it an internal surveillance operation. Your fever just broke, and your emotions have been swinging wildly. You need to get some more rest."

Emmy nodded wearily, her body slumping softly back against the pillows. James tucked her in, gave her one last deep look, and turned to walk out with large strides.

Not long after the door clicked shut, Nina pushed it open and slipped back inside. She had clearly already befriended all the nurses on the floor today, as she was holding a bag of sunflower seeds she had scavenged from somewhere. As she cracked the seeds open, she chattered away like a machine. "Emmy! I have to tell you, the nurse told me that everyone staying on this floor is a massive VIP! That international superstar Mercedes is staying in the room on the left, and the heiress of some huge conglomerate is on the right. I heard she is here to fix a botched double eyelid surgery from last year. And the guy at the very end of the hall drank until his stomach started bleeding..."

Nina's little mouth just would not stop, like a tireless radio broadcaster. Emmy's mind was still an absolute mess. She closed her eyes, genuinely unable to handle the noise anymore. "Can you please let me have some quiet for a moment?"

Nina's mouth clamped shut immediately. Looking at Emmy's pale face and furrowed brow, she finally realized she had been too loud. The little girl blinked her large eyes, looking incredibly guilty. Then, she raised her hand and swiftly tapped the side of her neck twice. The hospital room instantly fell silent.
