Chapter 568 – The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free

Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free

The basement had a bathroom with water in it.

However, there was nothing to eat there. Ruth had already asked for food several times over the last few days!

It had been three whole days. She was close to starving to death.

Lawrence was also afraid that she would really starve to death. That was why he had asked about it.

Unexpectedly, Justin replied coldly, “She won’t die of hunger. Of course, if the child doesn’t return within ten days, then it won’t matter even if she starves to death.”

If Trueman didn’t send the child back, then it would mean that he didn’t care in the least whether Ruth lived or died.

In that case, why should he care?!

Lawrence swallowed. He felt that there was murderous intent in his boss’ voice when he said that. It was only then he realized that his boss had really become angry this time.

His boss rarely got angry for real. After all, he could pretty much solve every problem with just a wave of his hand. For him to become so angry this time… Surely it wasn’t because Ruth’s existence had made Ms. Smith jealous, right?

Lawrence felt like he had figured something out.

Justin couldn’t be bothered to go to the basement. Or rather, the sight of Ruth made him sick, so he didn’t want to go. Lawrence, however, had to go.

After all, he had to remind and urge her several times a day to call her people overseas.

When Lawrence went down to the basement, he saw Ruth lying on the ground and eating… paper towels. She was in a pathetic state. Her hair was greasy and stuck to her face while her cheeks were sunken in from hunger, making her look a little scary. After going hungry for three days, she had probably lost a few pounds.

Lawrence tutted a couple of times.

At the sight of him, Ruth put down the paper towels in her hand. She stared at Lawrence, her eyes fierce and vicious. She said, “Give me something to eat! My son is about to come back to the country soon. When he does, he will become a Hunt! Even if Mr. Hunt does not give me the status I deserve, he still has to acknowledge his son! My son will be the head of the Hunts in the future! Lawrence, aren’t you afraid that my son will make life difficult for you in the future if you treat me like this?!”

Lawrence: “?”

He scoffed and threw the phone to Ruth. “Time for you to make a call. If you want food, then we’ll talk about it when your son arrives! Just like you said, he is a Hunt. If he says the word, who would dare starve you?”

Ruth bit her lip, picked up the phone, and called Xander.

She had no other choice. Trueman had said that Xander didn’t want to come. He had to respect his will.

Ruth’s eyes flashed with hatred when she thought of this.

Was there even a need to respect his will? He was just a sh*tty kid! They had raised him for so long. What was the big deal about making him return to the States to save her? Shouldn’t he do that? That kid was a total devil!

While thinking about it, she took a deep breath.

The call was quickly connected.

Xander’s devilish voice rang out. “Aunt Ruth, what do you want this time?”

Ruth got a shock when she heard the word “aunt”, and she glanced at Lawrence. She quickly lowered her voice and said, “How many times have I told you this? You have to call me Mom!”

“Tsk, did you give birth to me? Why should I call you Mom?” Ruth was so angry that she yelled, “Xander!”

“I’m still here, you don’t have to be so loud. I can hear you.”

Ruth took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. “Xander, be good, hurry and come and save me, okay? There are a lot of fun things to do in America!”

“Wow, really?” Ruth nodded. “Yes, yes, of course. If you come here, I can buy you lots of things.”

“Oh, I don’t need anything.”

“Is there anything else you need? If not, then I’m hanging up. Also, Aunt Ruth, don’t ever talk about being my mother or whatnot anymore. My mom is the woman who gave birth to me, not you!”

Elsewhere.

Lawrence was eavesdropping on their conversation with a listening device.

He heard clearly everything that Ruth said.

However, he could only hear static noise coming from the other side.

Obviously, the other party also had a very powerful hacker who could block his signal, so only Ruth could hear the voice.

Lawrence frowned and put down the listening device altogether. He went up to Ruth and turned on the speaker mode on the cell phone.

Ruth had already known this when she made the call, of course. That was why she had called Xander with peace of mind and hadn’t been afraid that he might let something slip. After all, Xander’s phone had been modified, so no one could listen in on his voice.

But with Lawrence switching on the speaker mode so blatantly, she immediately said, “Xander, behave. Hurry up and come to America to look for me. I promise I won’t touch your rabbits anymore when I go back!”

When Xander heard this, his voice suddenly rose. “Really?”

Xander, who grew up in the basement, had never been allowed to go out. His father was the only one who had accompanied him and taught him everything. He was also able to teach himself a lot of things through online classes.

His father was very busy sometimes, so he could only stay in the basement by himself.

The little rabbits, cats, and dogs had accompanied him for many years. They were his closest friends, but those friends of his were instead the adults’ tools for experiments.

Xander was very unhappy about this.

But he didn’t know how to fight back. Having grown up there, he didn’t even know that he could fight back. He just wanted to save the rabbits and keep his little friends alive.

Therefore, if an organ transplant was possible, then he was willing to do it!

In his world, there was only life and death. There was no right or wrong!

Even if sewing a dog’s head onto a cat’s body was a serious violation of natural science and went against humanity’s moral compass, for him, as long as it could keep Dog No. 6 alive, nothing else mattered.

Ruth nodded. “Yes!”

Xander hesitated for a moment. Then, he said, “Alright, then.”

Ruth breathed a sigh of relief. “Come over as soon as you can!”

“Okay, okay. You’re so annoying!”

Xander hung up the phone.

Ruth breathed a sigh of relief. When she handed the phone to Lawrence, she said weakly, “Mr. Zimmer, I hope you’ll keep your word. The day Xander arrives at the manor, you must send me food!”

Lawrence picked up the phone and nodded. “Of course.”

Justin drove to the Smiths’.

When he entered, he found Nora lying on the bed, her head rested on one hand as she watched Cherry and Pete.

She had her phone in her hand and she glanced at it from time to time.

Seeing the three of them peaceful and happy, Justin fell silent for a while.

He walked over and sat beside Nora.

Nora glanced at him and said, “You’re here.”

“Yeah.”

Justin sat at the edge of the bed. He stared at her for a while before he suddenly chuckled and asked, “Are you jealous?”
