The Bored Immortal

Meanwhile, Taya and Eva had left the Snow Mansion and headed to the Snow Healthcare hospital where Taya worked as a doctor.

Eva was curious about why she asked her to come along and what she talked about wanting to do something she should have done before. This was the first time Taya specifically asked her to do something in the hospital.

The two soon reached the Snow Healthcare building, and Eva entered inside along with Taya, making many heads turn seeing another beauty walking alongside Taya.

Some knew her as Taya's personal bodyguard, but they never saw her enter with her.

Taya entered her office, locked it, and activated the secret button to reveal the elevator, which surprised Eva.

"A secret entrance?" Eva asked with raised brows.

Taya slightly smiled and said as she gestured to her, "Yes. Come on in.."

Eva eagerly entered, wondering where this elevator would lead to.

The moment the elevator reached the secret floor, Eva was surprised to see an underground facility built with sophisticated design and technology, especially security.

As her bodyguard, Eva analyzed how it was impossible for an intruder to breach into this facility without raising alarms. Even if one knew Taya's passwords, they wouldn't be able to enter since they were not Taya.

Eva learned from Taya how this was her personal research facility for all these years and how she managed this on her own, which accounted for the fact why nobody else was here.

Eva saw some self-cleaning robots on the way and now realized why Taya always seemed tired and worked overnight most of the time.

She felt bad since she wanted to help her out, but sadly this wasn't her field. All she was good at was making things safe for her, she thought.

The two then entered the research room where Taya usually does her experiments.

Eva was welcomed by a blast of cold air as she entered inside, making her guess that this room must be used for cold storage of biosamples as well.

"Eva, I asked you to come with me since I need your help in disposing of the samples of the experiment I have been working on all along," Taya said as she rubbed the sanitizing gel between her palms.

Eva's expression became perplexed as she asked, "But why? It's your hard work, isn't it? Is it because it failed?" Eva didn't know what exactly Taya was working on, but she knew Taya must have been working hard on her experiment all this time.

Taya smiled as she shook her head, "It doesn't matter how hard I worked on it and how much I wanted it to be a success. I realized that in the end, it will only make me sacrifice the precious time I have. I already wasted all these years on my experiments. It's time I started to live my life properly."

Eva's lips parted as she had no idea what to say. She felt sad that Taya was ready to throw her hard work, but then again, knowing that this was her wish which might make her feel happy, Eva didn't think too much about it.

Taya, inwardly, was also feeling bad about putting an end to her experiments which were why yesterday night she couldn't sleep because of the dilemma she had in making the hard choice.

However, she felt that she probably wouldn't regret it once she started living the life she wanted till the end of her days, whenever that was. She decided it was time to live in the present and caring about the people around her rather than worry about the future while time passed away.

With this thought, Taya opened the medical freezer, but her eyes widened as she mumbled in shock, "No...where are they…"

Eva heard her mumble and came forward hurriedly to see that there was nothing in the freezer, making her ask, "Big Sister, there is nothing here. Was there supposed to be something here?"

Taya nodded with quivering eyes, "Yes...but...this cannot be….I never moved them from here. There isn't a better place to store them than this freezer. Wait a minute!"

Taya quickly took out her tablet and checked out the CCTV files from the day she last left this facility.

Eva also keenly looked on since she had the same thought in her mind as Taya did though inwardly, she was beginning to worry, seeing how upset Taya was.

The two looked through the CCTV recordings with complete focus to see if anything out of the ordinary happened.

"There is no intruder…" Taya mumbled in a disconcerted tone as she fast-forwarded till the video recording of her and Eva entering the facility, which meant that she saw nobody entering the facility after the last time she left this place.

She then continued as she shook her head, "Even if someone entered, I had set everything to self-destruct so that even if they successfully break in somehow, they wouldn't get anything."

Eva was surprised that Taya had set up such drastic measures though this only made her frown, even more, wondering how nothing self-destructed in this place but still Taya's samples went missing.

When Taya set up this measure first, she knew she would be destroying everything she worked on in case of someone broke in. But she was willing to let that happen rather than let someone steal her experiments and misuse them since she already saw what happened because of her carelessness all those years ago when she was very young.

"One second, Big Sister. I think I saw something strange before," Eva said as Taya let her take over.

Eva rewound back to yesterday's video recording and played the recording at a slower speed at a certain time.

Taya knitted her brows and looked on, wondering what Eva saw though she still didn't see the appearance of anyone breaking or even trying to.

"See this," Eva pointed out to something on the screen as Taya narrowed her eyes.
