Her lips trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, she leaned forward and wrapped her arms around him, her voice barely a whisper as she spoke everything into his ear, the dream, the cloaked figure, the demand... Ivy’s blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jay’s expression darkened instantly. By the time she finished, his eyes had already turned sharp, filled with a cold, dangerous clarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, he stood up and rushed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he returned, he wasn’t alone. Ivy stood beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Ember saw her, her gaze instinctively shifted away, guilt flickering across her pale face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy, however, felt a sharp pang in her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If she wasn’t my sister... would she have suffered like this?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought cut deep. Because now, it was obvious...that cloaked figure hadn’t chosen Ember randomly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wanted Ivy. Ember was just... a means. Ivy’s gaze hardened slightly as her mind raced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If he can affect her from a distance... then there must be a connection.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something linking Ember to that entity. Something inside her. Her eyes slowly drifted toward Ember’s abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ember winced again, a soft cry escaping her lips, her body trembling with pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy pressed her lips together tightly, her fists clenching. Then she turned sharply toward Jay. \"Give me the reports.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jay immediately handed them over, confusion evident in his expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy scanned them quickly, once... twice...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her grip tightened around the paper. Anger flared in her chest, sharp and uncontrollable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This... bastard ...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to calm down before looking up at Jay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We need to abort it. Now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jay froze. \"What? But she’s already in this condition...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now,\" Ivy repeated, her voice firm, leaving no room for argument.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something in her tone made Jay’s heart skip. He didn’t understand everything yet...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he knew...something was very wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No!\" Ember shouted, but when Ivy leaned toward her ear and whispered, she stopped struggling, looking completely lifeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now!\" Ivy barked at Jay, who came to his senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he scooped Ember into his arms and rushed toward the nearest hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.............\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hospital lights were harsh, almost blinding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doctors, already informed about Ember’s condition, looked at them with quiet pity as she was wheeled into the emergency room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy stopped Alana just before she followed. \"Go inside,\" she instructed. \"Focus on healing her as much as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alana nodded and rushed in. Ivy remained outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jay stood beside her, his chest rising and falling rapidly. \"What’s going on?\" he demanded, his voice strained. \"Did you find something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy exhaled slowly, her eyes dark. \"It’s not a pregnancy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jay blinked, confusion flooding his face. \"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy turned to him, her voice low but clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If someone can control Ember through something inside her... if they can cause pain and manipulate her...\" she said, \"then there has to be a medium.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused briefly. \"And that medium... is inside her body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jay’s breath caught. Ivy’s gaze hardened. \"I think... it’s not a baby.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence. Heavy. Unbearable. Jay’s eyes widened in horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy nodded slowly. \"Yes... exactly what you’re thinking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice turned colder. \"Someone planted something inside her. A tumor... disguised as a fetus.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jay staggered back slightly, as if the ground beneath him had shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy continued, her mind piecing everything together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s even stranger...\" she added, \"is that you wouldn’t have touched Ember during her illness. You wouldn’t risk hurting her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jay immediately nodded. \"Of course not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And yet,\" Ivy went on, \"the reports say she was already three months pregnant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jay’s brows furrowed. \"But... that’s what they showed...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s the problem,\" Ivy cut in. \"A month ago, Alana was treating her regularly. If there had been a fetus, she would have felt it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes narrowed. \"Healing energy attracts a fetus. It draws more energy instinctively. But Alana felt nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jay’s face went pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And then,\" Ivy added, holding up the reports, \"the second report suddenly shows four and a half months.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a cold breath. \"How does a pregnancy progress that fast?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jay’s hands clenched into fists. \"...That stomach cancer,\" he muttered. \"It started from there, didn’t it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy froze for a moment. Then her eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Of course ...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t even considered it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her previous life, she had simply assumed Ember had developed cancer and eventually gotten cured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now... How could someone survive in such a world with untreated cancer?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more she thought about it, the heavier her chest felt. Her eyes slowly closed, regret washing over her like a tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If she suffered this much... then I’m not innocent either ...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had ignored it. Dismissed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jay noticed the change in her expression immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t,\" he said quickly, shaking his head. \"This isn’t your fault.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice softened slightly. \"Even though you had told us about your last lifetime... and we still didn’t figure this out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy opened her eyes slowly. Silently... she nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had known for a long time that Jay knew about her rebirth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ember had told her. It wasn’t something she could hide forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that she couldn’t keep it hidden; she simply didn’t want Jay to ever question Ivy’s actions moving forward. Not when everything was already this fragile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lifting her head, she looked at him, her expression calm yet heavy with thought. \"Even then... I still don’t understand something,\" she said slowly. \"How did all of this happen behind the scenes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her brows furrowed faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who was capable of disguising something like this as stomach cancer...\" she continued, her voice tightening just a little, \"...and then turning it into a tumor later?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jay exhaled slowly, his jaw tightening as he leaned back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Instead of trying to figure out who did it...\" he muttered, his eyes narrowing slightly, \"...we should look at it from the other side.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy’s gaze flickered toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jay continued, his tone steadier now, more analytical. \"Think about it from their perspective.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brief pause followed as his thoughts aligned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoever planned this... knew exactly what would happen,\" he said. \"They knew that once healing energy was used on Ember ...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1030,"2026-06-05T15:12:50.241Z",1,"novelbin.me","af18d00277f3da3fea052cf349399342caa52f1ab3c96b7095b621f0ba78c922","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-621","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-619",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
