Chapter 213 Twins.

Unwilling to admit his mediocrity, he couldn't understand why Grace could do things so easily while he had spent so many years and so much effort failing to do them.

Unwilling to admit their own incompetence.

Grace nodded slightly. He didn't press the matter further. In fact, the answer wasn't important to him. He and Lustan never had a deep father-son relationship.

Mentioning Lustan brings back more memories he doesn't want to recall.

"Kill me, use my blood to pave your path to success, I'm willing."

"Don't think of yourself as so great. I won't kill you, but you won't have any freedom for the rest of your life. I'll send you back to the Dark Prison, and you can continue living there from now on."

Lustan chuckled softly: "Grace, do you know why I chose to do this at the very moment you were about to succeed? Besides being unwilling to accept it, there's another reason: you're not ruthless enough, you don't have the ambition. You're only doing this for your female master. It was such a good opportunity for all the males to take the initiative, but you just didn't do it. You think that equality will make those high and mighty females bow down? You're wrong. You can't change anything by doing this. I'm waiting to see the day you regret it."

Grace listened quietly, ignoring his roars, but he also felt that Lustan, who was going crazy towards him at this moment, was the one who was normal.

He curled his lips into a smile, a hint of amusement in his eyes: "What do I care about other people's lives or deaths? My only wish has always been to make her happy."

Grace's words froze Lustan's ferocious expression. He looked at Grace, who had a smile in her eyes, and for a moment it was as if he was getting to know his son for the first time.

Grace continued, "Don't think about it anymore. These are no longer things for you to worry about. This should be the last time we meet. Take care of yourself in the future."

After saying that, Grace turned and left without lingering for a moment.

After he left, Lustan seemed to have suddenly found a voice: "Madman, you're a madman!"

The iron gate closed, shutting out Lustan's roar.

The official announcement of the Allied Forces' imminent arrival on Imperial Star signifies the impending end of the Empire's era.

The public's reaction to this was very enthusiastic.

"This day has finally come. The hypocritical royal family has finally collapsed. We will never have to live in fear again."

"I think everyone shouldn't be too happy yet. Who knows if the Allied Forces' entry into the Imperial Star is a good thing or a bad thing? What if they're not as good as the royal family?"

"Actually, it doesn't matter to us who's in power. But now at least I'm a gene hybrid, and that's a real benefit."

"Yes, if it weren't for this, we wouldn't know when we would have become gene fusers, but at least we are gene fusers now."

"I work in population data surveys, which many of you may not know. Since the widespread use of gene fusion agents, the number of discarded defective males has decreased dramatically!"

"My relative works as a researcher at No. 2 Courtyard. He said that the research on gene fusion agents has never stopped. An 80% probability is not the end. They are committed to developing a 100% gene fusion agent to completely eliminate the existence of defective males in the Empire."

……

Lu Xia naturally saw this news as well. However, unlike the public, she was focused on something else entirely: she knew that Grace would be home soon.

Smerian came downstairs and noticed Lu Xia, who was still sitting on the sofa: "Has Cecil not returned yet?"

Lu Xia nodded: "Yeah, he might be a little busy today."

"Then shall I go with you to Dr. Eugene's for your checkup?"

"Aren't you free today, Smerian?"

“I’m not in a hurry, we can go to the hospital later.” Lu Xia smiled at him: “No, let’s wait for Cecil. You go and do your thing. I’m not in a rush anyway.”

Smerian wanted to say something more, but Cecil hurriedly returned from outside: "Sorry, sorry, sister, I've kept you waiting."

After saying that, he saw Smerian standing there and asked with slight surprise, "Hey, you haven't gone to work today?"

Smerian nodded: "Now that you're back, take good care of Xiaxia. I'm leaving now."

Watching Smerian leave, Cecil came to Lu Xia's side: "Sister, shall we set off now?"

Today was the day she was to go to Courtyard No. 3 for a physical examination. Originally, Lu Xia could have gone by herself, but Cecil was worried and insisted on going with her, so Lu Xia went with him.

"Let's go, I'm ready."

After leaving the Duke's mansion, the two boarded a hovercar and headed straight for Courtyard No. 3.

Dr. Eugene had made all the necessary preparations in advance. He always personally conducted Lu Xia's physical examinations. However, this time, there was a slight surprise: Duke Lu Xia's belly was more prominent than usual.

So I came here specifically to check it out.

When Lu Xia arrived at Courtyard No. 3, Dr. Eugene personally greeted her and led her to the examination room: "You look well, is there anything bothering you?"

Lu Xia replied, "You know I didn't have much of a pregnancy reaction, but this time, compared to the previous two times, my pregnancy is showing a bit more."

As she spoke, Lu Xia was invited onto the examination bed.

Dr. Eugene personally performed the imaging examination on her.

Upon seeing the image, Dr. Eugene exclaimed, "Your Grace, you are carrying twins!"

Lu Xia was slightly taken aback; she naturally understood what twins meant.

Cecil, however, seemed confused and asked worriedly, "What do you mean? Is there a problem? Are you alright?"

Dr. Eugene looked at Cecil, who was looking nervous, with a smile in his eyes: "Your Excellency the Duke is carrying two babies, so it's twins."

After hearing Dr. Eugene's explanation, Cecil finally understood what twins meant.

His blue eyes widened instantly, staring in disbelief at the screen next to Dr. Eugene. He couldn't actually understand it, but he understood what he was hearing.

Cecil looked astonished and couldn't react for a moment. Dr. Eugene smiled and said, "I never expected you to be pregnant with twins. No wonder your pregnancy is so different from before."

Lu Xia sat up. She really hadn't expected that she was carrying twins.

If that's the conclusion, then it makes sense.

Lu Xia nodded, finding the result easy to accept.

Cecil cautiously leaned closer and asked softly, "Are they really twin babies, sister?"

His voice trembled as he spoke, and he even lowered his voice deliberately, as if he dared not speak loudly for fear of disturbing the fetus in Lu Xia's womb.

Lu Xia smiled, raised her hand to pat his head, and nodded, saying, "I believe Dr. Eugene is right."

Upon hearing this, Cecil couldn't contain herself and reached out to hug Lu Xia, exclaiming, "Sister, you're so amazing! I'm amazing too!"
