Old Maddy looked at Justin again. "At that time, he became seriously injured trying to save Xander. He wanted to save Pete too, but he simply couldn't walk or move anymore, so he called Mr. Hunt... To be honest, be it Xander or Pete, it didn't matter even if they had died back then because having one child alive was enough. You can say that it's all thanks to Caleb that both of them survived..."
Old Maddy lowered his head. "I didn't know that he was Trueman at that time; I thought he was just a young man with a crush on Ms. Nora. It was only after I recovered my memory that I realized that he used to hang around Ms. Nora in the past."
Nora was a little stunned. "Really?"
Old Maddy nodded. "I was under orders to protect you at that time, so I had been observing you the whole time. The young Ms. Nora was round and chubby. He often came over to play with you and also occasionally gave you food..."
Nora had fallen ill and started to gain weight when she was five years old.
She vaguely remembered that she did meet a little boy when she was eight or nine years old...
The little boy, who was about twelve or thirteen years old, had stood outside the villa and mocked her for being a little fatty.
But occasionally, when her stepmother didn't cook for her, he would give her something to eat... He had liked teasing her.
However, he had stopped visiting her after a while...
So, she and Caleb had already met in the past?
And...
Caleb didn't only save Xander this time; he had already saved Xander and Pete once back then!
One could say that without Caleb, the two children would have been killed by Henry long ago!
Nora stared blankly ahead.
There was only one V16 left now. To be honest, after hearing what Old Maddy said, she was now even more at a loss as to what to do.
However, she had always been hard-hearted.
And people were selfish.
Though Caleb had helped her a lot, Xander was her son. The degree of her closeness with them was of utmost importance at this moment. Besides, she had never been the traditional definition of a "good person".
She wasn't capable of abandoning her son to save Caleb.
She looked up at Justin, but saw the man frowning in silence.
Nora understood what he was thinking.
