Nora was stunned and looked at Caleb in shock.
Caleb smiled.
"That's right.That boy is me."
Nora:"!"
She stood up in shock and looked at Caleb in disbelief.
Caleb lowered his eyes and slowly said, "When I was three, they injected me with a gene serum and improved my genetic code.They deliberately did not inject the serum all at once.At that time, my parents being quite capable reached the mysterious organization to find me.Unfortunately, by that time, I could no longer leave.My body had been conditioned such that I would die if I stopped taking the serum at regular intervals.I had to be injected with the serum every month to maintain my life."
Perhaps he had said too much at once, and he coughed again.
Nora handed the tea to him.He took a sip and suppressed the itch in his throat.
"And thus, I was tied to the mysterious organization.When my parents found out, they felt helpless.At that time, your mother decided to make a deal with the Grays.The Grays helped her hide her identity and guaranteed to raise you until you were 18 years old.She also left the formula for the last dose of the serum.I was to be injected with the last dose once I turned 25."
When she heard this, Nora suddenly understood everything.
No wonder she had an engagement with Anthony! No wonder the Grays did not break off the engagement even when she got pregnant.
What they wanted was the formula for the last dose of the serum! And the reason why the mysterious organization came to New York and kept looking for her mother was because of that formula! At this moment, she came to a sudden realization! But what about her pregnancy? Why did her mother betray the Grays and arrange for her to have a child with Justin? Was there a secret behind this?’ She stared at Caleb.
Caleb waved his hand.
"Don't look at me like that.I don't need that drug anymore." Nora was surprised.
Caleb laughed softly.
"I'm one of the few remaining children out of the 1,000.Logically speaking, my transformation was very successful.Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with lung cancer when I was 26.That's why I no longer need that drug."
Nora fell silent.
Suddenly, she felt that the deal between the Grays and her mother was not worth it.
They had helped hide their identities for so long, but in the end, fate had played a joke on Caleb.She lowered her eyes.
"If I can find the formula for the last drug, I'll give it to you." Caleb laughed softly.
"Aren't you afraid that I'm still loyal to the mysterious organization and am lying to you about the formula?"
"I want to hear the truth." Caleb sighed.
"The mysterious organization is very powerful.Back then, your mother leaked some information under the cover of my parents.Seeing that they were about to come looking for you, your mother chose to die to protect you."
Back then, Yvette had left Ian because she didn't want to drag him into all of her mess.
Later on, when she was discovered, she knew that she could no longer escape.She had used her death to stop that pursuit.
Caleb continued, "After your mother died, my parents helped cover all the evidence, and you were safe.But no one expected for the Andersons to recognize you.You even appeared in New York in such a high-profile manner.Yvette had a daughter who was still alive .This attracted the attention of the mysterious organization, and it finally made them discover what had happened back then."
Caleb lowered his eyes.
"When he found out that my parents and I had hidden your whereabouts to protect you, the leader wanted to kill me.It was Trueman who begged for mercy and saved my life."
Nora also said, "After you were caught, Trueman sent me a message .He said that he would answer one of my questions in exchange for me to give you medicine.He treats you pretty well."
Caleb sighed.
"Yes, this is also why I didn't betray all these years the mysterious organization despite knowing that they were in the wrong."
