In truth, whether there had been a second option or not, Ms. Tracy would have chosen the first.
She had even come up with more ideas. For example, she planned to refuse artificial insemination for her clone and instead use the most primitive method of reproduction.
Sitting on the sofa and watching Lin Qi's younger self... Just thinking about it made Ms. Tracy feel a little excited! Then she could occupy that body and become a young mother. How wonderful would that be?
The doctor wasn't surprised by Ms. Tracy's choice. Many people did the same thing nowadays, especially wealthy and powerful elderly people who had been unable to have children for various reasons.
Life Surgery now gave them a chance to fulfill their wishes. There were many people cultivating their own clones, whether to avoid death, make up for regrets, or simply enjoy a young body.
When Ms. Tracy left the hospital, she looked a little regretful. "Sorry for taking up some of your time..."
Lin Qi waved his hand. "As a friend, as long as it's within the scope of what I can handle, I'm more than willing to help you."
After exchanging a few more words, the two parted ways.
Unlike Lin Qi, who quickly put the matter out of his mind, Ms. Tracy kept looking forward to five years later.
Lin Qi rode in a comfortable car across half the city and arrived at that magnificent office building.
Under the respectful and fearful gazes of the people around him, he returned to his own office.
Elsewhere, however, a war had just begun.
The guards in Private Shelter uniforms held shields and batons as they tried to resist the steadily advancing crowd. Those bootlickers locked arms and marched toward the guards one firm step at a time.
