Female Novel
Chapter 1608
Sarah slowly smoothed her disheveled locks and plucked a tissue from the stack beside her to dab at
her lips.
“Ian, how many folks you got on the outside?”
The moment the words left her lips, Ian knew that the map had indeed come from her. But as the key
researcher in the project, she shouldn't have had the chance to step foot outside.
“At the research base, we're talking a couple dozen. Beyond that, sky's the limit.”
Sarah lifted a hand to her temple, massaging it as she rose to her feet and walked out. Ian trailed
behind her, navigating the extended corridor until they stopped at the research bench. Only then did
she grip the icy edge of the countertop before her.
“As many as I want, huh? I suppose that answer will do.”
“And your role, Doctor?”novelbin
Sarah gazed blankly at the vial before her, a smile suddenly playing at her lips.
“I need a team, the bigger, the better. I want out of this place.”
She had set her sights on Ian because she needed an ally. The effort it took to send that map was her
at her limits. Despite garnering ample trust within the base, she still couldn't leave.
“How did you manage to send out that map, Doctor?”
Sarah reached for a glass of lukewarm water and took a sip. Sweat had already begun to bead on her
forehead in the brief interval.
“It was a close shave. I couldn’t make the map too obvious, but lucky for me, you got the gist.”
Ian had deciphered the map because he knew about a secret passage on Forbidden Island. By
working backward from the passage's location, he'd pieced it together.
To anyone else, the map would have been gibberish. So, he surmised that another part of the map
indicated the research base. It was a bit of a guess since he was investigating the base at that time.
Sarah stretched out to massage her temple, her physical state seemingly deteriorating, sweat
continuously streaming.
“What do you need me to do, Doctor?”
“First, take out Summer.”
Ian didn’t ask why Summer had to die. He could sense a potent emotion in her tone - not hatred, but
revulsion.
“Alright, after Summer’s gone, then what? Got an escape plan?”
“Not yet. But now, I can start to forge a path out. Before, my own strength was just too meager.”
Ian raised his eyebrows, “Doctor, I’ve been here for over a week. Why didn’t you clue me in sooner?”
“My situation’s been unstable.”
“What do you mean?”
Sarah continued to press at her temple as the sweat slid down her cheeks and onto her white lab coat.

Ian felt a jolt in his chest. Without further explanation, he knew that man was his brother, Eric. Sarah
pulled out a cigarette, her fingers trembling slightly.

Ian shook his head. Sarah chuckled at that moment, flicking the ash from her cigarette.
