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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI 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.
“It at least proves that I am serious about you, rather than making do because of the kids.”
Justin looked at her earnestly, his gaze deep and bottomless, making them look particularly devoted and
affectionate.
Even the beauty mark at the corner of his eye looked a little more serious than usual.
Nora felt as if her heart had been coated in honey.It felt like a ray of sunlight had suddenly shone through
the skies after it had been dark for several days.
She had never known that this was what being in love felt like.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA single sentence from him could make her so happy.
Despite that, she turned away and with her cheeks burning a little, replied, “Oh.”
The man kept quiet for a while.
Then, he suddenly asked, “What about you?”
Nora was taken aback.
Justin continued gazing at her.
“Are you only with me because of the children?” Nora kept quiet for a moment.
To be honest, someone with a personality like hers did not understand what being in love was.
When she first learned that Justin was Pete’s father, she had been wary of him and had feared that the
man would take the child away after he knew the truth.
After all, her first reaction was also to take the two kids and go out of the country immediately.
But what had happened later? When did that man slowly make his way into her heart without her even
realizing it? Justin looked at her seriously.
His heart slowly sank.
