Nick cut her off mid–sentence, “What nonsense are you spouting? If you’re unwell, go to a hospital. Stop imagining things.”
Turning to the bionic robot, he softened. his tone, “Helen, don’t misunderstand. This woman holds a grudge because I fired her. She’s just here to make trouble. Don’t believe a word she says. Were you scared? Go inside first. Let me handle this.”
He then pulled out his phone and called someone, demanding that Yvonne be sent to a psychiatric hospital.
Yvonne panicked and resisted, trying to argue, but Nick slapped her hard across the face and gritted his teeth, “If you can’t get a grip, I’ll make sure you spend the next ten years in a mental institution.”
The bionic robot watched the drama unfold with amused detachment. Once both

parties calmed down, she spoke leisurely, “I already know everything. There’s no need to put on a show for me. Nick, let’s get a divorce. Don’t let your mistress suffer any longer.”
Nick’s face went ashen. He frantically reached for the bionic robot’s hand,
“Helen, trust me, please! She’s just trying to smear me. Other than a proper employer- employee relationship, there was nothing between us.”
The bionic robot pulled out her phone and played the videos from the past few nights, shoving the screen into Nick’s face, “Mr. Hemsworth, is this part of a professional employment relationship too?”
Seeing the evidence, Nick tried to deny it, turning the blame on Yvonne, “Did she send this to you? It must be AI–generated.”
The bionic robot shook her head, “I recorded it myself.”
Nick was left speechless. What truly

shattered him, however, was the indifference on the bionic robot’s face.
now
Tears streamed down his cheeks as he trembled, “Helen, I was wrong. Please give me another chance. I swear I’ll never betray you again.” The bionic robot didn’t respond.
Suddenly, Yvonne, who had been silent, stood up. Noticing blood staining her legs, her eyes burned with rage. She lunged at the bionic robot, shoving her violently down the stairs and screamed, “My baby is gone because of you! Go to hell!”
Nick roared in fury, pushing Yvonne aside with brutal force and rushing to the bionic robot. But when he saw her, his eyes froze.
The bionic robot had hit her head, yet there wasn’t a single wound, not even swelling or redness. Something finally clicked in Nick’s mind. His face darkened
as he fixed his gaze on her eyes, “You’re not my Helen. Who are you? Where is my
Helen?”

The bionic robot tilted her head and smiled, “Mr. Hemsworth, I am Helen.”
Nick, now like a man possessed, grabbed the bionic robot and took her to a private hospital. There, my blood samples from years ago were stored. A simple test would reveal the truth. But there was no need for testing, the needle couldn’t even pierce the bionic robot’s skin.
Realizing the truth, Nick locked the bionic robot in his home, interrogating her daily, “Where is my Helen? Bring her back to me!”
The lead researcher called me, sounding troubled, “Miss Rimes, if Mr. Hemsworth keeps confining the bionic robot at his residence, we won’t be able to collect more experimental data.”
I sighed deeply. It was time to end this. That night, when Nick visited the bionic robot again, I connected to her voice system, “Nick, it’s me.”

Nick, disheveled and gaunt with an unkempt beard, looked up sharply. At the sound of my voice, a glimmer of life returned to his eyes. “Helen, where are you?” he hurriedly asked. “You promised you’d never leave me. Why did you leave without saying goodbye?”
Tears streamed down his face as he
