The next day. Today is the weekend. S.T.A.R.S. teams don't have to gather at the training ground because they're off. Some still come, but the rest have returned to their respective homes to rest.

Jill prepares breakfast for two people; "Honey, have you become stronger? I feel you're more 'agile' and 'energetic' than ever in days. " Jill asked, trying to discuss Eddie's recent change.

There's a thin smile on Jill's sweet face.

"Yeah, I thought so. By the way, I need to talk about a fundamental matter." Eddie stooped for a moment, considering whether to tell Jill the truth or not.

"Hmm? What's so important?" Jill put her palm on one of the cheeks, she asked attentively.

Seeing Jill's attitude, Eddie sighed in relief. This Woman used to be very difficult to approach; now, they have become very close even to living in one apartment. Really, the world is spinning so fast.

Of course, Jill's gentle attitude is only shown specifically to her lover; beyond that, her attitude is still the same. Heroic as well as assertive!

"I'm actually doing some research that can improve physical strength at Umbrella."

"Spencer, the chairman of the Umbrella Group, has conspired to kill my distant relative, who is one of the founders of Umbrella as well, Marcus." Said Eddie in a severe tone.

Listening to a sensitive topic like this, Jill squinted her eyes. Her calm expression was also replaced by a serious one.

"I have perfected a Serum that I have developed over the past few months. I've been acting out of character when faced with Spencer all this time. All this for the sake of my safety. "

"But all this game will soon be over. I'm sure Umbrella is plotting a big, horrible conspiracy. I don't know what it is myself, but it's not a good thing."

"I'm so worried about your safety, Jill. That's why I want you to use the Serum I developed. So, what do you think?"

Eddie asked earnestly.

On the other hand, Jill's eyebrows began to frown. "A serum that can improve physical strength? Don't bother, Eddie; I don't think I really need anything like that." Jill answered briefly. She doesn't want to trouble her boyfriend, plus what kind of conspiracy makes her need to use Super Serum only for survival?

"Don't worry, there are no side effects. Maybe it'll just boost your appetite more than usual. Believe me, your safety percentage will increase dramatically after using the Serum I developed. " Eddie's trying to persuade her. Eddie doesn't want to mess around; his love for Jill is not fake after all.

*Beep!*

Suddenly Eddie's phone lights up, inside the screen appears a beautiful figure, it's Alex!

It seems Alex has heard from Eddie's success in his Serum research project, which made her want to call Eddie as soon as possible.

"Honey, I've received information about you. You really surprised me!" Alex laughed happily while occasionally caressing the hair that was around her ears.

"The data I gave Spencer a few days ago is incomplete. Better not waste your time researching that data."

"You can use it as a reference, but I've prepared things much better for you."

Eddie continued. "I'll meet you in person to map the Serum. So don't worry too much about anything else."

Eddie tried to cheer Alex up.

Alex nodded. "All right, I'll wait then. When you come, I'll give you a special surprise." Alex smiled.

"Right now, I'm still learning the new kind of Serum Spencer gave me. Maybe this data will be of use to you... Well, see you next time."

"Ok, take care, Alex. Then I'll hang up." Eddie nodded; apparently, Alex was researching Serum that could extend the life span.

***

After ending the video call, Alex looked out the window. Outside the building, there is a beautiful vast ocean.

She has been responsible for a project undertaken on an island. This island is nowhere on the map, a private island run by Umbrella.

"Spencer... Do you think you can use it as a tool? What a stupid dream." Alex's eyes glowed with a look of contempt. If Eddie hadn't told her sooner, maybe she'd still be fooled by the old man's ruse.

What about Wesker's plan? That thing she kept in the dark.

Her body has become better, but the genetic defect cannot be removed.

Alex can only hope that her future husband can fix this.
