Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free
Caleb had a split personality!!
One personality was Caleb, and the other was Trueman!
She thought of everything that had happened previously and realized that Caleb and Trueman were one person. But from the looks of it, there were really two people inside. After all, every independent personality was a separate person.
“Trueman, no matter what, I won’t allow you to hurt them!”
“Tsk, then make her obedient.”
“Let me talk to her first!” “Alright, I’ll give you five minutes. I want an obedient servant.”
With that, Trueman put on his glasses and became Caleb again.
Seeing that he finally stopped changing back and forth, Nora looked at Caleb in shock and asked, “You’re…” Caleb wore his glasses and touched his forehead. After a while, he said, “I’m sorry. I, I’ve always lied to you, but you’ve seen it too. I can’t control him.”
Nora frowned. “Which identity is real between the two? You or him?”
Every person with a split personality would have a primary and a secondary identity. Caleb hesitated for a moment before saying, “It’s me.”
He looked ahead in a daze. “After I was injected with the drug in the basement, I became afraid of the darkness. Somewhere along the line, he was born. He was braver than me, more ruthless than me, and more adept in that life than me. He could watch helplessly as his siblings died without doing anything while I would be sad. It can be said that he is my dark side.”
Caleb sighed. “It’s not the time to say this. Nora, listen to Trueman obediently. He has controlled this body longer than I have. Now, if you have any questions, ask me directly. I promise to tell you everything.” Nora looked at him fixedly and asked, “Back then, what happened to the three children? Who told Justin about Pete’s existence?”
Caleb sighed. “I did.”
Caleb lowered his eyes and clenched his fists. “I’ve never lied to you. I really hate the mysterious organization. I want to destroy them. This has been my wish since I was young. Your mother was very kind to me back then. I was about to die, it was your mother who had saved me.”
Nora was taken aback.
Caleb spoke again, “Although I had two personalities at that time, after taking the V3 gene serum, the rejection was obvious. Like my other siblings, I knew that I was about to die. At that time, your mother came to the basement and saw everything. She went almost crazy at that time and berated the mysterious organization for conducting human experiments. At that time, many children were facing death. Your mother treated a few of those children and took good care of them… In the end, the five of us who survived received your mother’s kindness. However, I was the one who was there at that time. Trueman really did not know, he only had evil in him. The sole purpose of his existence was to survive. Later, your mother betrayed the mysterious organization and said that she had not developed the V16. After escaping the mysterious organization, my father, Old King, put your mother on the wanted list worldwide…”
At that time, Yvette had already realized that the mysterious organization’s head was King, right?
Therefore, after returning to the country, she knew that no one would be able to resist King. She decisively left Ian and escaped to a small town.
However, she was still found in the end.
Yvette could only make a deal with King, or rather, Trueman. She had killed herself and escaped their clutches. Only when her daughter lived to 24 years old would there be clues to the V16!
Caleb apologized. “Caleb Gray is my other identity. Back then, my mother had actually married into the Grays first. Later on, King forced her to have me. Therefore, although I’m King’s child, I’m indeed a member of the Grays…”
He looked at Nora. “I don’t want to be Trueman. I don’t want anything to do with the Yale name. I just want to be Caleb Gray.” Caleb lowered his head. “Back then, King arranged for Justin to have a child with you. After that, he replaced all the surveillance cameras in your house and buried all clues to the child’s father. Then…”
He sighed. “When I came to look for you, you fainted as you gave birth to your first child. Trueman found a way to get it out in secret. He did it to raise your child. He injected him with gene serums and planned to force you to look for the clues to V16 yourself in the future. Trueman only needed one child. After he left, you gave birth to a second child. Henry threw the child away… I followed the security guard and arrived in the suburbs. He was your son after all. I really couldn’t bear it, so I called Justin and used a voice changer…”
Nora looked at him. “Thank you for saving Pete.”
Caleb was silent for a moment before his lips moved. “I definitely won’t watch him die because he’s your son. You’ll definitely be sad if he dies. I don’t want you to be sad.”
Caleb immediately shut his mouth.
He seemed to have realized that he had said too much and was afraid that his words would put more pressure on Nora. He turned his head and looked elsewhere. He did not dare to look her in the eyes and quickly changed the topic. “When did you realize that I’m Trueman?”
Nora sighed quietly. “I’ve had my doubts all along. I already had my suspicions when I first tried to capture Trueman.”
Caleb was stunned. Nora lowered her eyes. “When we were trying to capture Trueman that time, I found the hotel where he was staying, but you were the one who walked out of it instead… Later, when we tried to capture Trueman a second time, he escaped and you were caught by the special department, instead. Now that I think about it, you must have allowed them to catch you on purpose, right?” Caleb nodded. “Yes, I wanted to work with the special department so that I would be able to destroy the mysterious organization.”
Nora fell silent for a moment. Then, she said, “I was very puzzled at that time. All our arrangements were appropriate and in place, so how on earth had Trueman escaped? During that time, I had even monitored all inbound and outbound activity at immigration, but there wasn’t any news of Trueman leaving the country at all. He seemed so mysterious and powerful that he could come and go as he pleased, but I have never believed that anyone in this world can completely avoid leaving traces of their existence as if they have never existed.”
Caleb sighed. “I didn’t expect you to have become suspicious of me so early.”
“At that time, I was just distrustful and a little wary of you, but it didn’t occur to me that you may be Trueman. After all, when you were detained in the special department, I was conversing with Trueman the whole time. This dispelled my suspicions. What really made me suspicious of you was when you were unwell and hospitalized some time back… I came to visit you and the nurse taking care of you said that you were scalded by hot water… But if your gene modification was of heat resistance, how could you be scalded? In that case, there could only be one reason you were lying. Your heat resistance abilities haven’t been modified at all… But five children had survived in the laboratory back then, and this was something that all five of you knew… It only occurred to me later that even though all five of you know about one another’s existence, it may be possible that apart from you, the rest were completely unaware of the others’ identities.”
Caleb nodded. “You have guessed everything correctly.”
He lowered his eyes and explained, “When I went to the special department back then, I did allow myself to be caught on purpose. To avoid anyone from recognizing me as Trueman, people kept impersonating me the entire time. My subordinates were also trying to protect me at that time. After all, even though it’s the gene serum that makes it seem like I have lung cancer, the coughing is real. Taking medicine eases my discomfort and relieves the pain… Cough, cough…”
At this point, Caleb covered his mouth again and started coughing.
Nora waited for a long while before Caleb finally stopped coughing. He said, “After escaping from the mysterious organization back then, the person whose heat-resistant genes were improved only wanted to be an ordinary person, even if it meant that he could only live until he was thirty years old. He begged me to help him hide his identity. I happened to be in need of a public persona, so I agreed to it. He lives a very peaceful life now, and he doesn’t want to be disturbed by the outside world. He also leads a very innocent life… so I don’t want to tell you who he is…”
Nora pressed her lips together. “He’s Professor Epson, right?”
As soon as she said that, Caleb looked at her in astonishment and subconsciously asked, “How did you know?”
Nora replied, “When Barbarian was holding him hostage and asked him about the gene serum, he had answered immediately. But during all that time when I was at Staav University, I hadn’t heard about the gene serum from any of the other professors at all. It was obvious that the matter was not widely publicized; only people who held great interest in it would know about it. Moreover, Barbarian didn’t know who he was at the time. After pushing him into the laboratory and setting it on fire, everyone who went in to rescue him, including my classmates, was injured, yet he wasn’t. That’s when I first became suspicious of Professor Epson…”
Caleb: “…”
Nora nodded. “Yup, he leads a very innocent life indeed.”
Professor Epson certainly led an innocent life, didn’t he? He devoted his life to gene serum research, and his only goal was to surpass Anti! When she thought about that man who regarded her as his imaginary enemy, Nora shook her head wryly. “I won’t do anything to him.”
“… Okay.”
Caleb replied again before he let out a quiet sigh and remarked, “You really are very smart.”
“No, I’m not smart enough. If I were really that smart… Back then, you told me not to trust anyone so easily, and I never once suspected you… Even if I had doubts about everyone, the fact that you and Trueman had indeed appeared at the same time was already enough to dispel my suspicions. It was only when I connected the dots about Aunt Queenie that the fake Trueman gave me a new perspective…”
After Nora explained all this clearly, she looked at Caleb again. “But none of this is important anymore. What matters now is… I want to know what you’re planning. Also, does Trueman know what you’re thinking?”
Caleb looked at her and lowered his eyes. “He doesn’t.”
Caleb rubbed his temples, seemingly having a headache. “We only switch back and forth frequently when I want to talk to him or vice versa. We both have control over this body, but he is getting stronger and stronger, so he is already gradually replacing me… Nora, I will tell you my plans now. I hope you can go with him. Don’t worry about where exactly he is taking you for now. As far as I know, he doesn’t hold much ill will toward you; he just sees you as a toy. He likes taming people and your stubbornness challenges his authority. Spend some time with him while I take the opportunity to find out where he has hidden the V16…”
Nora was astonished. “Trueman didn’t inject the V16 into himself right away when he obtained it?”
Caleb looked at her. “I stopped him from doing SO.”
Nora was taken aback.
Caleb sighed. “For this body to take any action, both he and I must come to a consensus first. Although, if I take a forceful approach toward something, he won’t be able to go against my will. After all, I am the primary persona now. But… if he really overpowers me eventually, then I won’t be able to come out anymore… When that happens, he will be able to inject himself with the V16. Nora, time is running out. Listen to me carefully, I have already lived long enough, so the V16 must be left for Xander! I want all the sins to end with me. Do you understand? Do as I say!”
Caleb’s tone became more and more urgent. Toward the end, his voice also gradually became sharper and sharper.
As the last word rolled off his tongue, he took off his glasses impatiently and stared at Nora. “He’s done talking to you, right? You should understand by now that you must follow my orders more obediently, my little servant. Now, I want you to come with me, or else you won’t be able to see Xander anymore!”
Nora lowered her eyes and took a deep breath. “Okay.”
As soon as she replied, Trueman took out a pill and handed it to her. “Take this.”
Surprised, Nora looked down at the pill.
Trueman smiled. “Don’t worry, my little servant, you are my favorite servant, you know. Also, thanks to you, that King confiscated all my assets, so you are the only servant I have now. I’m just worried that you will escape. After all, I can’t beat the Big Sister of the Quinn School of Martial Arts in a fight, and I don’t have a second Barbarian to act as my bodyguard either.”
Speaking of Barbarian, when Nora was on her way back to the Schmidts, the Queen had called Justin and informed him of Barbarian’s death. Also, both the captain and deputy captain of the guards protecting the Queen had been injected with gene serums. One was unable to withstand the serum’s effects and had died, while the other became stronger. The Queen had asked Justin what she should do next.
Nora also gave her advice at that time and told her that the gene serums Barbarian was in possession of weren’t the purest, so they only improved a portion of the genes, and they would not make one as strong as Barbarian. Because of this, there would not be too great a backlash. The man’s lifespan would only be shortened by ten years at the worst.
Barbarian would never let the bodyguard he prepared for the Queen, right before his death, survive the gene serum but die from its backlash. He really had the Queen’s welfare at heart.
The Queen remained silent for a long time on the phone before she finally said, “I’d like to give Barbarian a proper burial. Would you mind if I do that?”
To be honest, regardless of whether or not Justin minded, the Queen would still do it anyway.
This was her private matter.
However, the Queen really did regard Justin as a friend all these years while Barbarian was Justin’s enemy… Unexpectedly, though, the usually-petty man had replied solemnly, “We should respect the dead. Do what you want.”
This world had treated Barbarian too cruelly, so he had taken revenge. But no matter what had happened, now that he was dead, one should let go of all the past sins.
Trueman put the pill in Nora’s hand. She held it up to her nose and took a whiff-it was a type of muscle relaxant.
It didn’t harm the body and would only make one feel weak and limp. This way, she would not be able to resist Trueman anymore.
A sneering Nora glanced at Trueman and said, “Indeed, given your puny arms and legs, you’d better not get hurt by me.”
Trueman: “??!”
Trueman became angry at once, and a touch of malice even appeared at the corners of his lips. “You-“
The next moment, without waiting for Trueman to lose his temper, Nora took the pill, which took effect immediately. She could sense all her physical strength dissipating. It didn’t feel particularly uncomfortable, though. She moved her hands and feet a little, realizing that she had become no different than any other normal, slender, and frail woman, that was all.
A pill was effective for a day.
In other words, during this period when she and Trueman were to be together, Trueman would be feeding her one every day.
Seeing that she was being so obedient, rebuking her didn’t feel right to Trueman anymore, so he walked ahead of her and said, “Follow me.”
