Chapter 639: The Jealousy Spills Again
Elsewhere, Tina finished the strawberry cake Jared had brought with her, contentedly in the car. After satisfying her hunger and thirst, she finally remembered the business at hand. "Didn't you say you had an important video conference tonight? How come you suddenly showed up?" Tina leaned in closer to Jared, who was driving.
Without changing his expression, Jared cleared his throat, "The meeting isn't as important as you."
"I didn't tell you where I was going today," Tina said with a mischievous smile, although her smile seemed somewhat sinister to Jared.
Jared took a deep breath, "Orson called me and told me you were here, so I came to check on you."
Tina pinched the bridge of her nose, somewhat helplessly, "Lysander is just a child, why can't you get along with him?"
As Jared slowly parked the car in front of the hot pot restaurant, he turned to look at Tina, "I simply don't like any man who covets you around you, even if that man is just a child."
Tina looked at Jared in front of her. She had heard that jealous men are the most handsome; she never expected it to be true to this extent! Could it be because it's Jared that he looks so handsome? He's so handsome, and she's so in love! Jared playfully tapped Tina's nose, "Let's go down and eat hot pot, your favorite beef hot pot."
Tina clasped her hands around Jared's neck and kissed his lips deeply, then got out of the car, delighted. The kiss left Jared breathless, indicating he wanted another.
Tina thought to herself, "An opportunity missed is an opportunity lost!"
As the bubbling hot pot cooked, Tina ate voraciously, savoring the aroma.
"Uncle, I'll go to Stephanie's house tomorrow for her treatment. Wait for my signal," Tina said as she gulped down a piece of tripe.
Jared casually wiped her mouth with a napkin, "Understood."
Tina smirked, eager to see what was really going on.
The next morning, Tina knocked on Stephanie's apartment door, only to find Lysander opening it!
"What are you doing here?" Tina frowned.
Lysander smiled, "Tina, I came to fix her computer."
"Is that Tina? Come in, I'm just taking a shower," came a voice from inside.
Tina raised an eyebrow, a shower this early?
Lysander's face turned red, "Tina, it's not what you think, really!"
Stephanie then emerged, wrapped in a towel. If you ignored the scar on her face, she looked quite like a goddess fresh from the waters.
"Tina, we accidentally spilled soy milk while eating, so I went to wash up. Please don't misunderstand," Stephanie explained with a smile.
Tina pushed past Lysander and walked straight to Stephanie, "Did you touch your face while showering?"
Stephanie, seeing the dark look on Tina's face, chuckled inwardly, guessing correctly that Tina was indeed involved with Lysander but was just putting on airs.
She winked at Lysander, then said to Tina, "No, I heeded your advice."
"Alright, shall we start here, or in the bedroom?" Tina asked coldly.
Lysander, standing behind, felt the chill emanating from Tina and grew uneasy.
Each time Tina was angry in front of him, he felt at a loss.
"In the bedroom, please. Andy, wait here for me, thank you," Stephanie adjusted her towel and sweetly smiled at Lysander.
Lysander awkwardly nodded, avoiding Tina's gaze.
Hearing the name "Andy," the chill in Tina's eyes grew even colder.
Holding her medical kit, she went to Stephanie's bedroom. Seeing this, Lysander hurried to explain but was stopped by Stephanie, "I'm going to change in the bedroom, what are you doing?" Lysander's ears turned red, "I... I'm not doing anything." Stephanie laughed, "Then let's go ahead."
Inside the bedroom.
After changing her clothes, Stephanie sat on the bed, "Tina, are you angry?" Tina glanced at Stephanie, her eyelids drooping, "Why would I be angry?"

"I thought you and Andy were close, and hearing me call him that, I thought you would be upset." Tina lifted her gaze slightly, a faint smile playing at the corners of her mouth, a long-missed hint of green tea.
Previously, she had only thought Stephanie was foolish, never realizing she had this potential. She applied silicone on Stephanie's face. "Did you drink a pot of tea before taking a bath?"
"Huh?" Stephanie was startled. Tina then implanted a chip ion into Stephanie's scar, "The entire forest behind the school depends on you to glow and turn green, right?"
"What are you talking about? What forest?" Stephanie looked puzzled at Tina.
Tina pricked Stephanie's face a few times, causing her to scream in pain, "What is this? It hurts!" Tina slowly packed up her things, "If you want to be beautiful, you'll have to endure it."
Stephanie took a long time to recover, feeling the skin on her face healing bit by bit. This healing felt like forcibly kneading two pieces of dry clay together, excruciatingly painful. Stephanie felt as if thousands of needles were continuously pricking her face, causing a relentless stinging pain, while countless ants crawled over it, both painful and itchy.
"What... what exactly did you do to my face? I agreed to let you experiment on my face, but you can't take my life!" Stephanie rolled in agony on the bed, helpless.
Tina sat to one side waiting for Stephanie's reaction, playing Tetris on her phone. She split the screen, sending a message to Jared. "Ready for the test." Jared quickly replied, "Good." About an hour later, Tina had stacked Tetris blocks to the top for the tenth time. As several vertical bars fell, the screen cleared. Stephanie's facial pain finally subsided. She was drenched in sweat from the pain, her voice hoarse. "Is it over now?" Stephanie asked. Tina looked at her screen, where she had broken a new record, and smiled satisfactorily. She stood up to check Stephanie's wounds. Good, they had healed by three millimeters.
In fact, Tina could restore Stephanie's face to its original state in just two minutes, an extremely simple task. However, she would not let Stephanie feel comfortable, especially since she had experiments to conduct on her. Tina's phone rang, a message from Jared.
"The chip is responding." Tina was pleased. Good. This indicated that their research direction was correct. She had agreed to treat Stephanie's wounds precisely to use her body for experiments. The experiment with the chip. Her mother had already analyzed the chip removed from Jane's body, completing everything except for how it controlled human death.
