At the sight of Xander, Nora’s eyes lit up instantly.

Without waiting for Trueman’s orders, she opened the door and jumped out of the car.

Xander was a little taken aback to see her. He stayed where he was and did not walk forward. As they weren’t too far from each other, Nora could hear their conversation clearly. Trueman said impatiently, “Hurry up.” “I don’t want to,” Xander replied. Trueman scoffed, “Are you trying to make me force you into it?”

Xander said stubbornly, “Daddy, you’ve changed! You’ve never spoken to me like this before!”

Trueman continued to lecture him. “Things are different now. I used to have all the time in the world to play with and foster a bond with you, but we need to hurry now!”

“… I don’t dare to meet Mommy,” said Xander.

“Because you’ve let her down?”

Trueman’s words made Xander lower his head even further. The boy, whose head was lowered, was rather dejected. “Mommy spent a lot of effort to get the serum for me, but I…”

Xander really did know that he had done something wrong. He had only just said that when Nora walked over. When she heard him, she looked at Xander and asked, “So, you know very well what you have done is wrong, then why did you still do it?” Xander didn’t dare to look Nora in the eye when he heard this. He kept his head down as he replied, “Because it’s Daddy… I can’t just stand by and watch him die… Daddy is just like Butterscotch and Buttercup. He’s also my best friend…”

Xander had grown up with Trueman, and he was the only person in Xander’s world.

Upon hearing this, Nora glanced at Trueman.

After spending all this time with him, Nora knew what Xander was like.

The boy might seem unreliable and behaved like the spawn of satan, but in truth, he was very sensitive and had difficulty fostering bonds with people. This was also the reason he could immediately bring himself to bite the bodyguard’s hand when he saw him.

Because outsiders were all villains to him.

Only a handful of people could qualify to be classified as his own.

For example, he had said that Ruth was his aunt, but in truth, Xander had never regarded her as one of his own. This led to him never trying to save Ruth when he came to New York. He even bullied her instead.
