Chapter 118: The Past
Caroline didn’t know that Edwin’s thoughts had drifted away. Hearing his words, she subconsciously thought, ‘I’m ten years older than Eva. Strictly speaking, we’re of two generations, so it’s not a problem to raise Eva like a daughter.’
However, this body of hers was only two to three years older than Eva, so she couldn’t say these words out loud. Caroline could only say, “Eva is a very well-behaved child. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t be here.”
Back then, when she was still a greenhorn, she had followed a small team on a mission. After successfully rescuing Eva, she had won Eva’s trust. Just as the two of them were about to escape from the base, the crazy professor saw that the matter had been leaked and that his plan had been destroyed. In his despair, he wanted to detonate the explosives buried in the base and die with everyone.
After receiving the news, Caroline handed Eva over to her companions and told them to escape as soon as possible. She returned to the control room, ready to take control of the professor and intercept the explosion command.
Although the professor was not strong, he was very cunning. When he saw Caroline coming to the control room from the surveillance screen, he activated all the mechanisms to delay her.
Caroline spent a lot of effort to break in and managed to destroy the detonator a few seconds before the explosion. She successfully stopped the explosion.
This action had completely infuriated the professor, so he destroyed all the machines in the control room and completely locked the door, locking Caroline inside.
Seeing the professor’s smug look, Caroline shot him in the head. The second before the professor died, he smashed a reagent bottle containing a strong poison. The second the glass shattered on the ground, a strong smell surged out.
In less than three seconds, Caroline felt a strong sense of dizziness and fell to the ground. She thought she was going to die here, but just a second before she lost consciousness, the door of the control room suddenly opened and Eva appeared.
A little girl peeked in from outside the door.
Caroline gritted her teeth and let out her last roar. “Eva, run!”
This poisonous gas was too domineering. Caroline didn’t want Eva to die here when she saved with so much difficulty.
However, Eva was unmoved. She walked in, held one of her feet with both hands, and pulled her out of the control room.
Caroline’s eyes widened in shock for a moment before she lost consciousness.
Later, when she woke up, she learned from her teammates that she had run back to the control room after handing Eva over to them. The next second, Eva had broken free from her teammates’ arms and chased after her.
Just as her teammates were about to give chase, the crazy professor activated the mechanism, and the corridor suddenly collapsed, blocking their way. Her teammates had no choice but to retreat according to the original instructions.
All the surveillance cameras in the base had been destroyed by the professor, so they didn’t know how Eva found Caroline in the control room and dragged her out of the base in her little girl’s body. Of course, after the test, it was discovered that she had great strength, which more or less resolved some of the doubts of the crowd.
After that, Caroline asked Eva why she had gone back to save her. Eva’s answer was very straightforward. “Because you said you were going to take me out of the base to play.”
It was just a casual promise, but Eva remembered it in her heart. She even ran back to bring Caroline out of the base for this reason.
Caroline didn’t know what to feel, but looking at Eva’s eyes, she really treated Eva as her younger sister, and the two of them became closer.
If it wasn’t for the uniqueness of Eva’s body and Caroline’s complicated background, she would have adopted Eva into the Pritz family.
Later on, she was betrayed, and the Pritz family was completely annihilated. Caroline was even glad that she didn’t adopt Eva. Otherwise, she would probably be punished too.
However, because she was too close to Caroline, even though Eva’s IQ was only five or six years old, she still couldn’t escape the exclusion and cold treatment of those people. Caroline didn’t believe that with their manpower and resources, they couldn’t find Eva after she escaped from the military camp. After all, even Edwin could find her so quickly..
