Chapter 870 – Revenge Journey of a Twins’ Mother

Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free

Nora breathed a sigh of relief. “Yeah.”

After a while, the new chef that Harry had found brought them the meal prepared for Xander. Xander glanced at Caleb and started digging in obediently. Xander seemed exceptionally distant toward Caleb.

Nora thought about it for a moment. Xander had feelings for Trueman instead of Caleb. Just as a touch of hesitation flashed across her eyes, Caleb said, “Trueman doesn’t let me anywhere near Xander, for fear that I will take him away. So, all these years, he has been the one taking care of Xander.”

Then, Caleb smiled and added, “But it’s not true that we haven’t had any contact with each other at all either. Xander, do you remember how you insisted on asking for medical books when you were four years old?”

Xander paused for a moment, then he raised his head and looked at him. “How did you know that?”

When he was four, many of the animals around him had died. Xander wanted to save them, but Trueman had said with a sneer, “You? Saving people is what doctors do! What does it have to do with you?” Xander had retorted at the time, “Then I will become a doctor! Daddy, teach me how to become a doctor!”

When Trueman heard this, he thought of something and sneered, “I hate doctors the most! You can’t study medicine!”

In the past, throwing a tantrum had worked whenever Xander wanted something. This time, however, no matter how much he begged, Trueman simply didn’t agree. He said, “Who do you think your little animals went to? And who do you think operated on them? You can be anything you want except a doctor!”

The executioners in the mysterious organization were all professionals and doctors who, in the name of scientific research, had long since forgotten their basic moral boundaries as human beings.

Moreover, all those people around Truemanalmost one thousand of them—who had died while he was growing up had not been given proper burials but were dissected by the doctors instead.

In fact… Some who weren’t even dead had also been taken away for live human experiments.

It was a very cruel reality.

Dissecting the human body and observing the probability of people surviving various situations that challenged human limits were the best ways to understand the structure and limits of the human body.

Of course, it was said that they had taken reference from the actions of a country that obtained a lot of invaluable data from conducting similar brutal experiments on prisoners of war. This led to that country becoming more advanced than others in various medical fields.

That was why Trueman hated doctors the most, especially the ones who studied biotechnology.

But Xander didn’t know that; he just wanted to save his friends. In fact, he had already gouged out a rabbit’s heart and put it into a dog’s

body…

He then went on a hunger strike and told Trueman that he would starve himself to death if he was not allowed to study medicine.

Trueman didn’t give in at first.

But Xander was stubborn, and he never relented on things that he had already made up his mind on, so he stopped eating and drinking for real.

Three days later, the little Xander fainted.

By the time he next awoke, there was a tray next to him. On it was a juicy hamburger on a plate, as well as a USB flash drive.

Next to the USB flash drive was a fiercely-written note: “You can only study medicine behind my back. If I find out, I will confiscate everything.”

Xander might have grown up locked up in a basement, but he did have access to the Internet and a computer.

He understood something there and then. He got up, ate the burger, and then inserted the USB flash drive into the computer. Sure enough, inside the flash drive were vast amounts of educational material about medicine.

Xander knew that his Daddy Trueman had an awkward personality, so he strictly followed his orders and only studied medicine in secret, when Trueman was away.

Once Trueman returned, he would immediately stop studying At that time, he’d merely thought that Trueman was throwing a temper tantrum, but now that he thought about it again…

Xander seemed to have realized something. “You were the one who gave me that flash drive?”

Caleb sighed, stretched out his hand, and ruffled Xander’s hair. Xander froze but didn’t push him away.

He then heard Caleb say, “You’re just as stubborn as him, so I didn’t have any other choice but to adopt a solution that offered the best of both worlds.” Xander lowered his head, ate a mouthful of food, and then whispered, “Thank you.”

Caleb didn’t say anything. Instead, he got up and walked out. “You guys dig in first. I’ll go and deal with that old chef.”

Nora immediately said, “Her mistake doesn’t warrant a death.”

Although this was a place that none of the countries it bordered on cared about, and many things operated in a corrupt manner here, Nora had never been one to show blatant disregard for human life.

The chef had been disrespectful to her and her son, but beating her up was already enough. There was no need to kill her.

Caleb turned around and smiled wryly at her. “Of course. Do you think I’m Trueman?”

Then, he went out the door after speaking.

Nora and Xander shared the plate of lasagna.

After they finished the food, Nora told Xander to lie down and rest. She suddenly asked, “Have you really never seen him wearing glasses all this time?”

Xander answered, “No.”

Nora was about to ask another question when Xander suddenly turned to look at her. He said, “Mommy, it’s Daddy who won’t let me see him.”

Nora was taken aback.

Xander looked straight at Nora with a bit of dejection and sadness in his eyes. He said, “Daddy said he was a bad person and told me not to meet him. But now it seems that Daddy is the bad person instead, right?”

Nora looked intently at Xander in front of her.

Earlier, when Xander first returned to them, in order to better get along with the child, neither Nora nor Justin had said anything negative about Trueman to Xander.

After all, for the past five years, Trueman was the child’s only kin.

However, ever since Xander stole the V16 and gave it to Trueman, Nora was filled with regrets. She should have taught her son to differentiate between good and evil.

Seeing that Xander was finally bringing up the topic, she kept quiet for a while before she finally said, “True evil doesn’t really exist in this world, Xander, and everyone has a dark side deep down in their hearts. But as humans, we should safeguard our moral boundaries and stick to them. No matter what we do, even if we act a little selfish for our own sakes, we mustn’t cross that boundary.”

Trueman had taught Xander to be unscrupulous and resort to any means available to achieve his goals.

This was apparent from how Xander had frequently bullied the nannies and security guards when he was living with Nora and Justin. The little guy was a devil through and through. Fortunately, he was still young and kind-hearted by nature, which was the only reason why he wouldn’t do anything illegal.

However, a child’s personality was already cemented by the time they turned five years old.

Xander’s heretical and dark personality had become ingrained in him.

For some, their childhood could heal whatever suffering they experience in their lifetime.

But for others, it took a lifetime to heal the suffering from their childhood experiences.

Those five years spent in darkness had already led Xander astray.

Therefore, Nora taught him things differently from how she taught Cherry and Pete. She wanted Xander to keep to his moral boundaries.

Xander, who seemed to vaguely understand, nodded. However, he persisted and asked again, “So, is Daddy Trueman really a bad person?”

Was he really a bad person?

Nora didn’t answer him directly. She only stroked his hair and said, “People should not be defined by the concepts of ‘good’ and ‘bad’. Although he is a pitiable man, it doesn’t give him the right to take revenge on society just because of his unfortunate circumstances. Xander, I want you to know this-you are still young, so educating and nurturing you are our responsibilities. Real parents never contrive against their children when nurturing them. So, if he ever asks you to do anything that brings harm to yourself, please reject him.”

Xander was stunned when he heard her words.

As he looked at Nora, he seemed to truly understand in this instant what parents were supposed to be.

After having a heart-to-heart talk with Xander and gaining a deeper understanding of the child’s thoughts, Nora coaxed him to sleep and then went out of the room.

As soon as she stepped out the door, she saw Harry dragging a suitcase and walking out.

The suitcase was huge, and it seemed that there was something very heavy inside.

Nora didn’t pay it much heed. However, when the two passed by each other, Nora suddenly stopped and turned to look at Harry.

Harry gave her a smile and left quickly without saying anything. But the smell of blood coming from the suitcase wafted in the air, causing Nora to narrow her eyes.

Only then did she enter the room, where she immediately saw Caleb cleaning his hands with a wet wipe. He wiped them very meticulously, cleaning his hands one finger at a time. Finally, he tossed the wet wipe into the trash can beside him.

It was then that he finally turned and looked behind him. He seemed a little taken aback at the sight of Nora, but the next moment, he smiled and asked, “Is something up, Nora?”

Nora cast her eyes down. Suddenly, she asked, “What did you decide to do with that chef in the end?”

Without any change in his expression, Caleb replied, “I got Harry to send her away.” “Is that so?”

Nora suddenly pointed to a headband next to her on the floor. “If so, you guys forgot to take her headband with you.”

The headband was stained all over with blood.

The look in Caleb’s eyes changed dramatically at once.

Nora stared hard at him and said, “Therefore, you can drop the act, Trueman!”

Upon hearing this, a smile suddenly formed on Caleb’s countenance, and it was as though even his voice had changed, becoming sharp and piercing. He removed his glasses and said, “My, my. You’re pretty sharp, aren’t you, my little servant?”

After speaking, he licked his lips and then looked at the headband on the floor. Then, he snorted and said, “I’m the only one who can order my servant around. Does she think she can order you guys around too? Is she even worthy of doing so?”
