Chapter 366

The Ixora experiment was successful, and it could have been used on Jefferson and restored him to good health.

Alas, the hope for a new life had been shattered by a sudden explosion.

Jefferson walked over, only to see Rayna trembling violently. Shrugging off his jacket, he draped it over her and reproached in anguish, “Have you forgotten that you’re currently pregnant? Take care that you don’t catch a cold.”

Rayna gazed up at him, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. “It’s gone, Jefferson… What should we do now? Ixora has been destroyed when its experiment was a success.”

Jefferson wiped her tears with his thumb. “It’s okay, Belle. We can’t guard against everything, and perhaps God doesn’t want me to live too long either. Anyway, I’m already content.”

Clutching at his clothes, Rayna wailed, “But I don’t want you to die. I want you to live! We’d waited for so long, and it was already within reach. It’s so unfair!”

She had gone all out to obtain Ixora, but it was then gone.

At the side, Robert sighed softly.

Never had he thought that such a thing would happen. Not only had the laboratory lost a ton of information, but they had also lost a researcher. That was a tremendous loss to them.

There was still a stalk of Ixora with Jeremy, but he reckoned that the research must have failed ages ago since there hadn’t been any news in such a long time.

Jefferson took Rayna back to the mansion and cooked her favorite dishes.

However, Rayna was down in the dumps because of the explosion of the laboratory and the multimedia message, so she hadn’t any appetite.

Jefferson took some food for her before sliding the plate over to her. “The doctor said I can still live for a few more months if I keep myself in high spirits. Eat some for the sake of your children.” He nudged the plate again. “Eat. Otherwise, I’ll be distressed.”

At the thought of the children in her stomach, Rayna perked up and ate a bit. Unfortunately, she threw it all up shortly after because of her morning sickness.
