Time Travel to Become Your Sweetheart novel Chapter 296

"What a silly girl."

William gently rubbed Jane's hair. The scent was light and mysteriously close to the shampoo he liked very much.

They cuddled each other.

Jane felt her chest wet, and she knew it was William's blood.

"William, they said the rescue would be in fifteen minutes, but it has been ten minutes!"

There were only five minutes left.

Jane held William tight. She didn't want to be apart from her husband. She loved him! Jane had never been this desperate to express her feeling.

"I'm stalling for time, and Randy knows it. There are only two possibilities."

It was Jane's concern. She was afraid that the rescue team couldn't make it.

"Brody has a grenade."

The trickier thing was that Brody kidnapped their sons.

Even if the rescue team could make it, Brody could use the twins as hostages. In that case, William and Jane couldn't do anything about it.

"Then..."

If Jane showed up, she would definitely put Dayton in danger. But if she didn't, she couldn't buy time for William, and he was probably dead.

After weighing the pros and cons, Jane chose to take a risk.

"So, if we want to stall for time, we have to put on a good show."

They were close to each other, and William whispered into Jane's ears.

If Randy wanted a game, William would let him play his little game.

When the rescue teams arrived, William would take Jane's gun, shoot Brody dead, and save his son.

It was a general idea. There might be accidents, so they had to play the game by ear.

Jane immediately agreed.

After they had decided on the rescue plan, Jane immediately stepped back in disbelief.

"William, why did you take the dagger? Are you going to kill me?" Jane acted like she was surprised when she found out William's dagger.

Jane did not know that she could be a talented actor.

"Randy, will you keep your words?"

William didn't look at Jane. Instead, he asked Randy, "If one of us survived, you would set the person free. Can you keep your words?"

"Of course. I'm as good as my word." Randy analyzed the situation and answered with a smirk.

'Interesting. It was a touching romance story minutes ago. Now, it becomes an ethical movie where the husband wants to kill his wife for survival.' Randy thought.

The human was the most selfish animal in the world.

"I want you to promise the twins' safety. It's all that matters."

William told Randy that he could kill Jane, even himself, but his sons had to be safe.

At first, Randy had some doubts, but when William said so, he dropped the doubts.

People cared about offspring more than one could imagine. Even if two people didn't get married for love, they could live together for the sake of their children.

But Randy could not understand this kind of sacrifice.

Since William had brought it up, Randy found the game more interesting.

As Randy expected, there was a surprise on Jane's face. She then wobbled and nearly fell to the ground.

"William, am I less important than your sons? How can you do that?"

Jane shouted hysterically. Her madness surprised William. He did not expect his wife to be so talented at acting. He felt that Jane should consider being an actress.

"Sorry," William muttered.

...

For Jane and William, their sons meant everything.

Dan and Ben, to the opposite, looked at each other. They didn't understand what their parents were speaking. According to their facial expression and gestures, the kids thought their parents were fighting.

"Daddy, stop bullying Mommy!"

Dan shouted, and Ben echoed with a nod.

Even a kid knew a man couldn't bully a woman, so Dan thought his dad shouldn't be lamer than a kid.

"Daddy wants to spank Mommy."

Dan's endless babble made Brody twitch his mouth. 'Well, what a shame!'

Even on the brink of danger, Jane thought of her friends. That was how she had always been.

Randy didn't have the slightest doubt. Instead, he looked at Brody, indicating him to spill the beans.

Brody had always been responsible for the potions in the labs.

"Yes, Randy. But..."

Brody was still a little hesitant because it revealed the organization's secret.

"It doesn't matter."

With a nod, Randy motioned Brody to confess. Other than the organization members, only William and Jane could understand.

William was destined to die, including his sons, and Jane was in the same boat with them sooner or later, so specifically, the secret still ended in this room.

"Alright."

Brody nodded. "The potion is used to change the structure of the chromosome. It's more powerful for pregnant women than other people."

It could cause genetic mutation and turn an unborn baby into conjoined twins of the opposite sex. This was what the Underground Network was developing lately.

They wished someday in the future, men and women could realize self-fertilization.

They were still working on it, and there was a long way to go.

As for the side effects on the mother, no one knew. At present, many test samples had a miscarriage and couldn't live with the mutated gene.

Jane was surprised. 'What? This bunch of crap wants to go against humanity!

Jane was so angry that she wanted to shoot these scumbags dead.

None of a word could describe them properly than 'crap'!

"Alright, Jane, you now know William is only using you, and I'm reliable," Randy said sincerely.

At that time, Charlee wanted Randy to be with Jane. If William hadn't come back, perhaps they would have been together.

Jane's father recognized Randy.

"Give me another dagger."

Jane gritted her teeth, encouraging herself, 'He who laughs last laughs longest. If William attacks me, I'll fight back!'

William was badly injured, and Jane just twisted her ankle.
