Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free
Linda smiled and replied, “Of course he did. He says that you can just outright declare your identity once you progress to the final match. After you have a good fight with the Irvin School of Martial Arts’ Big Brother and win fame and merit for yourself, you can secretly leave immediately. Doing this will also avoid attracting too much attention to yourself in the early stages, and prevent people from finding out your true identity.”
“Okay, we’ll do just that, then,” said Nora.
She had kept her identity a secret only because of the words her mother had left her. She had told her not to show off before she became capable of protecting herself, lest people targeted her.
Ever since the assassin who tugged off a few strands of her hair and tried to kill her in the hospital had appeared, she had become even more convinced by her mother’s words.
There was indeed a mysterious force that had been watching her all this time.
Once she shone too brightly, she might become their target.
This was also why she had immediately moved to the Smiths after they acknowledged her. After all, the Andersons were indeed too weak and powerless and didn’t have any security personnel there.
The Andersons would be safer once she was gone.
As for the Smiths…
Well, she was just staying there temporarily.
While thinking about it, she left the room. As soon as she went out, she bumped into Quentin. When Quentin saw her coming out of Big Sister’s room, he immediately gave her an “I understand” look. He smiled and said, “Did a certain someone secretly go to Big Sister to ask for a photo together and an autograph?”
Nora: “?”
“I get it all, I understand it all. You don’t have to be embarrassed about it. Isn’t it very normal for one to admire Big Sister?”
“…”
As Nora walked toward the exit, she asked, “Aren’t you going home?”
Their matches today were already over, so what was he still staying here for?
Quentin replied, “Nah, I’m gonna stay here and watch Big Sister from afar.”
“…”
Nora didn’t respond to his moronic behavior. After giving Justin a heads-up, she drove straight home.
The moment she got home, she saw Old Maddy sitting at the door in a daze. He was taken aback when he saw her, and he said, “Yvette?”
Nora, who was still in the car, rolled the car window down after she saw Old Maddy. Thus, even though his whisper was very soft, she had still heard it.
‘Yvette’?
… Yvette Anderson?!
To think he knew her mother!
The thought made Nora slam on the brakes. She jumped off the car, went up to Old Maddy, and grabbed his hand. “Do you know my mother?” she asked.
The old man looked at her in bewilderment. There was a lost and confused look in his eyes.
Nora frowned and reminded him, “Yvette Anderson.”
When Old Maddy heard the name, he immediately shouted excitedly, “Yvette!”
Nora: “!!”
As expected, he did know who Yvette was.
Nora asked the security guard at the door to park the car for her. Then, she held Old Maddy’s arm and said, “Where do you live? I’ll take you back there.”
Old Maddy grinned and nodded. “Will you give me hamburgers?”
“Yes.”
“Okay!”
Old Maddy followed behind Nora, and the two went to his place of residence.
It was already dark by then, and the whole manor looked as if the sky had been covered with a black veil. For once, it wasn’t foggy, and a few stars twinkled in the sky.
In a big city where lights shone so brightly, it was very hard for stars to be seen.
However, there weren’t many living nearby the large manor. The lights in the few simple houses around it were also switched off at the moment, so one’s field of vision stretched even further than usual.
Old Maddy led the way. He walked to a house at the furthest corner, opened the door, and switched on the lights. Only then did Nora’s eyes feel a little better.
She looked around Old Maddy’s house.
Unlike Old Maddy himself, the place was neat and clean. From the looks of it, it seemed that the butler’s claim that the Smiths weren’t abusing him was true.
Old Maddy had burns all over him, so he disliked taking baths, which made him seem very dirty. However, the sheets were changed frequently, so they were very clean. Neither was there any smell in the house.
After Nora looked around, Old Maddy sneakily took out a hamburger from the fridge and gave it to her. He said, “Eat this, Yvette…”
‘Yvette’ again…
Nora frowned and looked down at the hamburger in her hand.
While she was lost in thought, Old Maddy looked at the door warily and said, “Don’t be scared! You won’t die of hunger!”
Nora: “…”
She frowned, looked at the hamburger in her hand, and asked, “Where are we?”
“At home, of course!”
‘At home’…
Why would they go hungry if they were at home?!
Just what kind of relationship did Old Maddy and Yvette share? Judging from his behavior, he seemed very protective of Yvette…
While she was wondering about it, Old Maddy grinned and asked, “Did you bear Ian a child, Yvette?”
Nora: “?”
Old Maddy behaved erratically, and he spoke incoherently. He said, “Ian has a daughter now!”
Nora frowned.
She suddenly stood up and asked, “Are you Ryan Smith?”
She’d had that feeling since the day before.
The lunatic in front of her was likely Ryan!
He was the president of the pugilistic world, so he had gone to the arena. Otherwise, simply based on the fact that he was mentally ill, why would he possibly go all the way to the martial arts tournament?
Old Maddy was a little taken aback when he heard the name Ryan Smith, but right after that, he curled his lips disdainfully and said, “Ryan is ugly. He’s not as good-looking as Ian. Don’t be with Ryan, Yvette. Besides, Ryan’s IQ isn’t high, either. If you have a baby with him, it’ll affect your daughter’s IQ!”
Nora: “…”
She was confused again.
If Old Maddy was Ryan, why would he say that he was ugly?
Moreover, he went on and on about genes, IQ, and the like, and even knew that a daughter inherited part of her IQ from her father. Was he really someone from a small town in the mountains?
Nora frowned and looked around again. However, she didn’t see any substantial clues.
After all, according to the butler, when Old Maddy first came to the Smiths, he had nothing but the ragged clothes on his back.
Somewhat disappointed, she stood up and said, “I’m going now.”
Old Maddy nodded.
After Nora left, Old Maddy kept feeling as though he had forgotten something, but his mind moved too slowly, and he simply couldn’t recall what it was. Thus, he merely grinned and continued to eat the hamburger he was holding.
While he was eating, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
Nora pushed the door open and stood at the door. As though she had made up her mind, she slowly said “Old Maddy, why don’t I treat your illness for you?”
The next day.
When Nora went out of her bedroom with a yawn after she woke up, she saw Maureen seated in the small living room on the second floor. At the sight of her coming out of her bedroom, Maureen immediately walked over. “You’re awake, Nora?”
Nora nodded.
Maureen was obviously waiting for her. She asked, “I heard that… um… you’re thinking of treating Old Maddy’s illness?”
Nora nodded again.
Before this, she hadn’t thought that Old Maddy was very important, so she hadn’t paid him any attention. Later, she found out that he might be Ryan, but he had indeed become ill and lost his mind. He also didn’t remember much of his past anymore.
