Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free
She stared at Ruth and saw that her forehead was already covered in a cold sweat because of the pain. Her hair was wet as she glared at Justin fiercely. “He’s your son. Do you really not care about your own son?!”
Justin frowned. “You are full of lies. We didn’t have any relationship at all back then, but you made it sound like it was true. Do you think I’d still believe you?”
Ruth bit her lip. “Heh, don’t forget that I had drugged you back then. It was easy for me to get pregnant with your child! Even if everything else is a lie, the child is real!! I swear! Your son is in my brother’s hands! If you dare to let Black Cat interrogate me again, your son will suffer the same pain!” Justin was stunned.
Seeing that he finally hesitated, Ruth then looked at Nora. “I also gave birth to a child for him. Now, you don’t have any upper hand!”
Nora pursed her lips and suddenly took off her gloves. “How boring.”
She left the interrogation room after saying those cold words.
Justin hurriedly followed behind her. When she saw the two of them leave, Ruth finally heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, an unprecedented pleasure rose in her heart. See, she had said it before. No woman could withstand such jealousy!
At the mention of the child, Nora finally could not take it anymore, right?
Nora’s face was cold. She walked from the basement to the living room. Justin followed behind her. His tone and demeanor were hesitant. He wanted to explain, but he did not know what to say.
At this moment, Nora suddenly stopped in her tracks. “What she said about the child should be true.”
Justin’s pupils shrank.
He pursed his lips and organized his words before saying, “I don’t have any memories of that night. I only lied to her before she immediately exposed herself. That woman is full of lies. Her words can’t be trusted.”
However, Nora lowered her eyes. “She’s very smart. Her words are 80% true and 20% fake. You can’t tell them apart. However, although the needle I put in earlier hurts, I could still judge her speech and blood flow, as well as her heart rate. When she mentioned the child, she didn’t seem to be lying.” Justin was enlightened. “So you pretended to be jealous and paused the interrogation?”
Nora rolled her eyes at him.
She wanted to say that she was not pretending to be jealous, but she could not say that. She instead said, “I’m worried that she might have a tracking chip in her body. My methods of torture are a little cruel. If it’s really like what she said, what if the shameless and immoral Trueman really is torturing that child?”
Nora was worried about that child who might not really exist!
Even if that was the child of Ruth and Justin, she could not bear to hurt him!
Perhaps it was because she had felt guilty toward her son since he was young. When she was overseas, she had interacted with many children. She had even gone to places like Africa and seen some hungry children who could not even eat well.
She could not ignore the life of a five-year-old child.
It could be said that this was her only weakness in life.
Not to mention that this child was Justin’s son, but even if he was a stranger, she would still be soft-hearted.
Nora knew her own weakness, so she simply withdrew from the interrogation. Anyway, she already knew most of the things she needed to know.
Next, it was up to Justin!
Justin knew that Nora was avoiding suspicion, but when he looked at her like this, he suddenly felt a pang of indescribable guilt.
He really had a child with someone else…
Nora would definitely mind, right?
He lowered his eyes and said, “Yes, leave the rest to me.”
Nora nodded and turned to leave.
Before she could leave, however, Justin suddenly called out to her, “Nora.” Nora turned back.
Justin suddenly sighed. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely give you an explanation.”
Nora was a little stunned. Then, she nodded. “I trust you.”
She had always been the type of person who either did not love or completely believed the other person if she did. She no longer hid her many identities from Justin.
After Nora left, Justin returned to the basement.
His gentleness and love from earlier had disappeared, and he was exuding a bloodthirsty aura. As he entered, everyone in the basement lowered their heads. Feeling his aura, they did not dare to speak.
Justin came to Ruth and asked in a deep voice, “Where is that child?”
Ruth bit her lips. She felt a terrifying pressure from him. It was even more terrifying than when she first learned that Nora was Black Cat. She replied, “He’s with my brother.”
Justin lowered his eyes. “What’s the child’s name?”
“Xander Yale.”
Ruth continued, “He took my surname.”
Justin did not pursue this matter further. Instead, he stood up and looked down at her. “Get someone to bring the child here. I can let you leave. A life for a life.”
Ruth’s pupils constricted. “No way…”
The child was her bargaining chip. How could she give the child to him so easily?
However, before she could finish speaking, a hand as hard as steel grabbed her neck! It was as if it would snap her neck the next second!
Ruth’s eyes widened, a look of despair forming in them.
She couldn’t breathe properly and her throat felt like it had all stuck together.
Her brain started receiving insufficient oxygen and her vision blackened intermittently. Then, she blacked out from suffocation.
Splash!
A basin of icy-cold water was splashed onto Ruth’s face, waking her up with a start. Only then did she realize that she had been released and had fallen onto the ground.
The basement was dimly lit, so she had no idea just how long she had been unconscious.
She wiped her face with her hand. When she looked up, she saw Justin seated on the sofa with his legs crossed, coldly looking at her.
The look in his eyes gave Ruth a shock. When she thought of what had happened before, she swallowed hard and said, “Mr. Hunt, you can’t kill me! If you kill me, that child will die too!”
Because Justin had strangled her just now, thereby injuring her wind-pipe, her voice was hoarse. Additionally, the more she spoke, the more she ended up straining her throat, causing searing pain.
Ruth clutched her neck. In this instant, she became very sure of something Justin really had wanted to kill her just now!
While she was thinking, Justin suddenly took out a small chip. “Is this how you keep Trueman Yale informed of your situation at all times?”
Ruth’s pupils shrank. That was a tracker-cum-monitoring device that had been implanted in her. It allowed Trueman to check on her situation at any time.
It was only with this communicator and the child that Ruth could ensure her safety.
Yet even the communicator had been discovered?!
Justin threw the chip he was holding between his fingers onto the floor. Nora had reminded him of it before she left. After that, he had instructed Lawrence to bring him the relevant apparatus before he finally found it in Ruth’s stomach.
He crushed the chip with his foot. After breaking it, he scoffed, “Do you think my men won’t be able to find the child just because you’re dead?”
Blood drained from Ruth’s face. “I… I am the child’s mother!”
“So?”
Justin countered dispassionately. His voice was low and rich, making him sound just like a demon in the dim basement. “I can make it such that the child will never know that I’m the one who killed you.”
Ruth swallowed.
