When Nora heard this, she lowered her eyes.
Caleb spoke again, “He has never trusted me completely, so I didn’t find out her identity. However, since he said
that, I think you should be careful.”
“Actually, you don’t have to trust anyone, even if it’s me.”
At this point, Caleb coughed again. “Although I don’t have a long life, who knows if I’ll want the gene serum again
someday?”
Nora asked, “How is your health?”
“I won’t die for a month, at least.”
Caleb replied with a smile as if he was not sensitive to this topic at all.
Nora was silent for a long time before saying, “Rest well.”
“… Okay.”
Nora wanted to hang up the phone, but seeing that he was a little hesitant, she asked, “Why?”
“Yes?”
“Is there nothing else?”
“…” Caleb was silent for a moment before he coughed and said, “You… nothing. I’m hanging
up.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, Nora felt that Caleb still had some things to say. She frowned and decided to drive to the hospital.
Caleb had helped her block Barbarian’s attack last time. Bones in his entire body had cracked, and he was still
recuperating.
In the VIP ward.
When Nora arrived, Caleb was already asleep.
When the nurse saw her, she said softly, “Mr. Gray’s injuries are recovering very quickly, but his wounds still hurt.
Besides, he was given general anesthesia during the surgery. He can’t be given any more sedatives now, so it hurts
every time we change the dressing.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHearing this, Nora frowned. “Then, he endured
it?”
“Not really.” The caregiver smiled. “Whenever this happens, Mr. Gray takes out his earphones and wears them.
Hearing the music makes his body feel relaxed. He was also very cooperative when changing the dressing. The
doctor asked him what music he was listening to that was so effective, but Mr. Gray did not say anything. We just
joked that it was his anesthesia.”
IS SO
Listening to music to relieve pain?
This was also a solution.
Nora did not take it seriously. She put on her scrubs and entered the intensive care unit. After checking Caleb’s
various indicators, she then looked at the person on the bed.
Caleb lay there with a faint smile on his lips.
He still had the Bluetooth earpiece in his ear. One of them fell down and landed beside the infusion tube.
Nora was worried that he would move in his sleep and accidentally press on his earpiece, so she took it out for him.
Just as she was about to place it on the table, her ear twitched. When the nurse said that listening to music could
relieve the pain, Nora was very curious.
After all, this was a medical study. If it was really so effective, she could forget about using anesthesia for mild pain
in the future.
She did not plan to invade someone else’s privacy herself.
After all, the things he heard most likely belonged to him and could comfort him.
However, she really did not eavesdrop. She was blaming her good hearing!
The moment she held the earpiece, the voice from inside reached her ears.
When Nora heard that voice, she was stunned.
She looked at the bed again. Caleb was still sleeping
Nora felt that she might have heard wrongly.
Otherwise, why would she hear her voice through his earpiece?
She frowned and brought the earpiece closer to her ear.
Her cold and deep voice was clearly heard from inside.
“… That is why I have no desire. I observe its wonders and its frequent desires.
These two come from the same source and have different names. The same title is profound, mysterious beyond
belief, and the door to all wonders…”
Now, she was certain that it was indeed her voice reading the sacred text of morals. Nora: “…”
She frowned and looked at Caleb.
Seeing that the man was still sleeping, she quietly put the earpiece back.
After leaving, she was still frowning.
The nurse said, “Ms. Smith, why don’t you wake Mr. Gray up? He has been looking forward to you visiting him. You
finally came, but he fell asleep. When he wakes up, he’ll definitely be angry.”
After saying that, the nurse could not help but look at Nora and advise something beyond her responsibilities as a
nurse, “No matter how busy you are, you should come and see him more.”
The first thing Caleb asked when he woke up every day was, “Has Ms. Smith been here?”
Every time she said no, Caleb would be very disappointed.
His eyelids would droop and his lips would be pursed tightly, making the nurse’s heart ache.
A weak, good-looking man gave others a protective instinct.
The nurse felt that it was all Ms. Smith’s fault for not coming often.
Nora did not understand the nurse’s feelings and only glanced at her calmly. This glance immediately made the
nurse realize that she had said too much. She immediately lowered her head. “I’m sorry, Ms. Smith. I was too
talkative.”
Nora retracted her gaze and did not argue with her.
The nurse explained carefully, “I poured some soup for Mr. Gray today. He asked if you had come over. When I said
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmno, he got distracted and even got scalded from the hot soup, so I just… I shouldn’t have said so much.”
Nora looked into the ward again and was in deep thought.
She instructed, “Take good care of him. Contact me if anything happens.”
Caleb’s family was not here. Moreover, Caleb was injured because of her. Nora could not possibly leave him behind.
The nurse nodded, “Okay.”
After Nora left, Caleb’s ears in the ward slowly turned red. He opened his eyes. When the nurse saw him, she
pushed the door open and entered. “Mr. Gray, you’re awake? What a coincidence. Ms. Smith just left!”
Caleb stared at the ceiling and nodded.
The nurse poured him a cup of water. “Your girlfriend is really beautiful. She must be very busy too, right?”
Girlfriend…
Caleb’s gaze softened. He took a sip of water and lowered his long eyelashes, not denying it.
The nurse continued to ramble. “She must be very busy. Otherwise, why wouldn’t she come to see you for so long…
But you must like her a lot…”
–
Nora wore a mask and returned to King’s place.
She entered the living room and sat on the sofa. When he heard that she was back, Justin put down the document
in his hand and went downstairs to see her.
Because there were many more people from Switzerland in the villa, the two of them were wearing masks very
carefully.
They sat opposite each other. The scene was very strange, but it was inexplicably harmonious.
Seeing that Nora remained silent, Justin asked, “What are you thinking about?”
Nora: “Caleb.”
The man sitting opposite her had a dark expression on his face. “Huh?”
Nora told him about her voice reading in Caleb’s earpiece.
Justin’s tone was instantly filled with jealousy. He pursed his lips and suddenly asked, “Didn’t you notice anything?”
