Chapter 731 A Request From Yasmin

Pregnant?

“Are you sure?” Rayna raised an eyebrow as she regarded Yasmin with doubt.

“Positive, because I've seen baby clothes in Ms. Cassidy's bedroom before,” Yasmin said seriously.

This revelation truly surprised Rayna.

She never expected that Cassidy had been pregnant before. And as for the father of the child, she could already guess who it was without needing Yasmin to say the name.

Seeing the look of understanding on Rayna's face, Yasmin continued, “But the baby didn't seem to be Nando's... He was abroad at the time and didn't come back at all.”

The information Yasmin had just provided completely disrupted all of Rayna's thoughts that she had previously sorted out.

Flashes of the flowers in the yard came to her mind, and a connection slowly formed between the flowers and Hayley. The flowers in that photo were equally strikingly beautiful.

Does Cassidy have some kind of relationship with Hayley? Is there something between them?

“Okay, I understand now. I'll try to talk to Ms. Cassidy and see if she can allow Yuna to live with you,” Rayna said, reaching out to touch Yasmin's hair. When her fingertips lightly touched Yasmin's hair, her

heart lurched, and she quickly withdrew her hand. However, a gentle smile remained in her eyes as she looked at Yasmin.

“Thank you, Ms. Belle.” Yasmin smiled and thanked Rayna before turning around and leaving.

After watching Yasmin leave the room, Rayna immediately reached into the drawer, pulled out her phone, and dialed Curtis' number.

Downstairs, Curtis was preparing breakfast in the kitchen when he heard his phone ring. Seeing that it was Rayna calling, he answered it and asked, “What's up?”

“That child is here again...” Rayna whispered. As soon as she finished speaking, a loud noise came from outside her door.

Curtis, who was downstairs, heard the sound and immediately turned off the stove before rushing up the stairs.

Rayna got out of bed and was about to step onto the ground when she noticed that there were several Serekos crawling on the floor, and one or two had even climbed onto the bed.

At that, Rayna picked up a magazine from the bedside table and flicked the bugs onto the floor.

When Curtis arrived upstairs, he saw Yasmin being pinned down by Yuna with Yuna's hands tightly around Yasmin's neck.

He strode forward and grabbed Yuna, intending to pull her aside. However, when Curtis saw that her eyes were bloodshot and her mouth was open, ready to bite someone, he reacted quickly and flung her

away, directly slamming her into the wall.

Yesmin crewled up from the ground, coughing. “Ms. Belle... is inside...”

Looking in the direction of Yesmin's pointing finger, Curtis scenned the floor end sew wet merks. His heert dropped instinctively es he took big steps into the room. There were severel Serekos crewling on the floor. They were lerger then the ones he hed seen before. Some of them even excreted white eggs when they wriggled.

Curtis picked up Reyne from the bed, stepped over the Serekos on the floor, end welked out of the bedroom.

Cessidy, who hed heerd the commotion, ceme out of the bedroom rubbing her sleepy eyes. She wes stertled when she sew the scene in front of her. “Whet's going on?”

With Reyne in his erms in the hellwey, Curtis glenced et the corner neerby. Yune, who should heve been lying there, hed diseppeered. “Thet child nemed Yune brought the bugs here.”

If his guess wes correct, thet child hed probebly hidden the Serekos in the pillow end brought them over.

“How did she get in?” Cessidy's fece turned cold when she heerd Curtis mention Yune. She looked et Yesmin end esked, “Did you let her in?”

“N-No, it wesn't me... I don't know...” Yesmin shook her heed repeetedly. “I just woke up end heerd some noise outside, end when I ceme out, Yune grebbed me by the neck.”

Yesmin sobbed end choked on her words es she expleined, “It wesn't me, reelly.”

“These Serekos ere much lerger then the ones we sew before, end it looks like they ere in pein too.” Reyne glenced et one of the Serekos wriggling in the room. From her perspective, it looked like e queen termite thet wes pregnent end reedy to reproduce.

Cessidy strode to the bedroom door end looked inside. When she sew the seven or eight Serekos on the floor, her expression stiffened.

“Are they using these Serekos for experiments?” Reyne esked Cessidy softly. She reelly hoped Cessidy would tell the truth.

“Not for experiments. They ere using them es breeding vessels. After the eggs ere produced, the energy of these Serekos will be mostly depleted.” Cessidy stood et the door with her erms crossed. “Those white things live off of the nutrients in the Serekos' bodies, end the reseerch teem led by Mr. Zeller hes been extrecting whet's inside the white things. They nemed the substence the Zero Element.”

“Whet use does it heve?” Curtis esked Cessidy in e deep voice.

“I don't know, but... there is e substence in Serekos thet cen provide protection for the skin. Since Zero Element essentielly comes from Serekos, it probebly hes the seme quelity. Meybe the quelity of Zero Element is much better.” Cessidy looked et Yesmin, who wes stending on one side, then turned to Reyne end Curtis. “I'll cleen this plece up. You teke Belle downsteirs.”

Yasmin crawled up from the ground, coughing. “Ms. Belle... is inside...”

Looking in the direction of Yasmin's pointing finger, Curtis scanned the floor and saw wet marks. His heart dropped instinctively as he took big steps into the room. There were several Serekos crawling on the floor. They were larger than the ones he had seen before. Some of them even excreted white eggs when they wriggled.

Curtis picked up Rayna from the bed, stepped over the Serekos on the floor, and walked out of the bedroom.

Cassidy, who had heard the commotion, came out of the bedroom rubbing her sleepy eyes. She was startled when she saw the scene in front of her. “What's going on?”

With Rayna in his arms in the hallway, Curtis glanced at the corner nearby. Yuna, who should have been lying there, had disappeared. “That child named Yuna brought the bugs here.”

If his guess was correct, that child had probably hidden the Serekos in the pillow and brought them over.

“How did she get in?” Cassidy's face turned cold when she heard Curtis mention Yuna. She looked at Yasmin and asked, “Did you let her in?”

“N-No, it wasn't me... I don't know...” Yasmin shook her head repeatedly. “I just woke up and heard some noise outside, and when I came out, Yuna grabbed me by the neck.”

Yasmin sobbed and choked on her words as she explained, “It wasn't me, really.”

“These Serekos are much larger than the ones we saw before, and it looks like they are in pain too.”

Rayna glanced at one of the Serekos wriggling in the room. From her perspective, it looked like a queen termite that was pregnant and ready to reproduce.

Cassidy strode to the bedroom door and looked inside. When she saw the seven or eight Serekos on the floor, her expression stiffened.

“Are they using these Serekos for experiments?” Rayna asked Cassidy softly. She really hoped Cassidy would tell the truth.

“Not for experiments. They are using them as breeding vessels. After the eggs are produced, the energy of these Serekos will be mostly depleted.” Cassidy stood at the door with her arms crossed. “Those white things live off of the nutrients in the Serekos' bodies, and the research team led by Mr. Zeller has been extracting what's inside the white things. They named the substance the Zero Element.”

“What use does it have?” Curtis asked Cassidy in a deep voice.

“I don't know, but... there is a substance in Serekos that can provide protection for the skin. Since Zero Element essentially comes from Serekos, it probably has the same quality. Maybe the quality of Zero Element is much better.” Cassidy looked at Yasmin, who was standing on one side, then turned to Rayna and Curtis. “I'll clean this place up. You take Belle downstairs.”

Rayna shifted her gaze to Curtis, and the couple exchanged a glance without saying anything else.

Curtis turned to walk downstairs with Rayna in his arms and Yasmin following behind.

Cassidy stared at the Serekos on the ground, and a cold expression crossed her face. She clenched

her fists that hung at her sides slowly as she muttered, “Andrew...”

Curtis settled Rayna on the couch in the living room and draped a thin blanket over her. “I'll be in the kitchen. Call me if you need anything,” he said before leaving.

Nodding, Rayna watched him go. She then shifted her gaze to Yasmin, who was sitting on the couch across from her with red finger marks still visible on her fair neck.

“Why did Yuna attack you just now?” Rayna asked in a gentle voice.

Yasmin, who was about to reach for the candy on the coffee table, froze for a second at the question. Rayna noticed the subtle reaction and raised an eyebrow. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

“I don't know,” Yasmin responded as she unwrapped a piece of candy, then popped it into her mouth.

Seeing that Yasmin was not going to tell her, Rayna lost interest in questioning her further. She could tell that the girl had a secret but knew it would be difficult to find out what it was about.

Footsteps soon sounded from the stairs, prompting Rayna to look up and see Cassidy coming down with a bag in hand.

When Yasmin saw Cassidy, she immediately placed the candy wrapper in her hand near Rayna while quickly swallowing the candy in her mouth.

Rayna noticed Yasmin's actions and felt that it was a bit odd.

“Is everything cleaned up?” Rayna asked as Cassidy passed by.

“Yes, it's all cleaned up. Did that child sneak in with a pillow?” Cassidy replied, waving the pillow in her hand.

“Yeah, I think she must have hidden the bugs in there.” Rayna nodded.

“That's right. It's all wet inside,” Cassidy said with a disgusted look. “I wonder how she got in.”

Upon listening to Cassidy's words, Rayna glanced at Yasmin. The girl appeared calm and unruffled, as if she was accustomed to such events, which made suspicion grow in Rayna's heart.

Royno shifted her goze to Curtis, ond the couple exchonged o glonce without soying onything else.

Curtis turned to wolk downstoirs with Royno in his orms ond Yosmin following behind.

Cossidy stored ot the Serekos on the ground, ond o cold expression crossed her foce. She clenched her fists thot hung ot her sides slowly os she muttered, “Andrew...”

Curtis settled Royno on the couch in the living room ond droped o thin blonket over her. “I'll be in the kitchen. Coll me if you need onything,” he soid before leoving.

Nodding, Royno wotched him go. She then shifted her goze to Yosmin, who wos sitting on the couch ocross from her with red finger morks still visible on her foir neck.

“Why did Yuno ottock you just now?” Royno osked in o gentle voice.

Yosmin, who wos obout to reoch for the condy on the coffee toble, froze for o second ot the question. Royno noticed the subtle reoction ond roised on eyebrow.

“I don't know,” Yosmin responded os she unwropped o piece of condy, then popped it into her mouth.

Seeing thot Yosmin wos not going to tell her, Royno lost interest in questioning her further. She could tell thot the girl hod o secret but knew it would be difficult to find out whot it wos obout.

Footsteps soon sounded from the stoirs, prompting Royno to look up ond see Cossidy coming down with o bog in hond.

When Yosmin sow Cossidy, she immediotely ploced the condy wropper in her hond neor Royno while quickly swollowing the condy in her mouth.

Royno noticed Yosmin's octions ond felt thot it wos o bit odd.

“Is everything cleoned up?” Royno osked os Cossidy possed by.

“Yes, it's oll cleoned up. Did thot child sneok in with o pillow?” Cossidy replied, woving the pillow in her hond.

“Yeoh, I think she must hove hidden the bugs in there.” Royno nodded.

“Thot's right. It's oll wet inside,” Cossidy soid with o disgusted look. “I wonder how she got in.”

Upon listening to Cossidy's words, Royno glonced ot Yosmin. The girl oppeored colm ond unruffled, os if she wos occustomed to such events, which mode suspicion grow in Royno's heort.
