It was Cherryâs voice.
Justin hurried to open the door. Cherry rushed in anxiously and pulled Nora down. Her voice was full of tears. âMommy, hurry up and see Butterscotch. Butterscotch canât take any more.â
Butterscotch?
Nora frowned and suddenly realized something. She hurried down the stairs ahead of Cherry.
As soon as she was down the stairs, the butler approached. âXander and Butterscotch are in the living room. I was afraid of causing a panic, so Iâve asked security to move them.â
Nora nodded to the butler.
He was Justinâs butler. He was good at handling business and had always been very polite to her.
Hearing this, Nora hurried to the parlor again. Just as she entered, she heard Peteâs voice. âMy mommy is your mommy too. Sheâs a doctor. Iâm sure sheâll be able to treat Butterscotch. Donât worry.â
Princess Lucy was also standing next to them, looking at them wide-eyed and afraid.
At the sound of footsteps, Pete and Princess Lucy turned to look at Nora. Peteâs eyes lit up. He hurried over and took Noraâs hand. He pointed to the dog in the cage in the corner and said, âMom, hurry up and save Butterscotch.â
Nora walked over and noticed that Butterscotch was lying in the cage. He seemed to have no strength at all. He was lying on his side with his legs stretched out. However, his eyes were wide open as he looked at Xander. His pupils had already begun to dilate and it was clear that no treatment was possible.
Noraâs heart sank. She turned to look at Xander and saw that he was extremely calm. His little face was tense as he squatted down next to Butterscotch and stared at him. He was carrying a small knife in his hand.
At the sight of that knife, Noraâs pupils constricted. She asked directly, âXander, what are you doing?â.
Xander kept staring at Butterscotch as he stubbornly said, âButterscotchâs heart canât take any more. Fluffyâs body is not well, but his heart is still alive. I want to trade Fluffyâs heart for Butterscotchâsâ¦. That way, theyâd both be aliveâ¦â
Any child would panic upon hearing such words.
However, at this moment, Nora only felt her heart slowly drowning.
In the past, she had always thought of Xander as a mischievous child who was simply ruthless. When the security officer had collected his DNA samples, Xander had even bitten her.
Later, he was always stubborn. Whatever Justin asked him, or whatever Nora asked him, he wouldnât answer.
The last time, he had been framed as a stranger and Pete had been taken away. Until he returned, he hadnât explained a word.
During that time, Justin tried to talk to him many times, but Nora stopped him.
Only when Pete woke up and told the truth was Justin able to release the knot in his heart.
Nora thought about his appearance as she took the DNA test report and headed upstairs to the VIP room to hand it to him.
After feigning maturity and finishing reading the report, she stood up and looked at the butler to simply say, âYes, I can change now.â
He said nothing and just looked at Justin and Nora with pride. Then he said, âYou can prove that you are my parents now, but this is only written proof. I havenât recognized them in my heart yet. You still have to make an effort, understand?â.
So, he had never called her mom and dad.
That was Xander. He was a strange, eccentric, domineering child. Right now, he was holding a knife and saying under his breath that he wanted to replace Butterscotchâs heart.
Over the years, although Nora had saved many people, it was inevitable that she would experience life and death in the hospital. She had a quiet personality and didnât worry about many things.
But at this moment, her eyes were gradually turning red.
Although Xander had grown up in a terrible environment, he was still true to himself.
She said, âXander, itâs useless. Your body will reject the new heart.â
âHow can that be?â
Xander frowned. âArenât they all hearts, how can you be so sure?â
With that, he reached out his hand again and wanted to open the cage. âOpen the cage quickly, I want to save Butterscotch! It will be too late!â
âWhoa.â
Butterscotch suddenly let out a faint bark. The bark made Xanderâs body stiffen. Then, he turned suddenly to look at Nora. âArenât the Smiths and the Hunts very powerful? Hurry and call Doctor Anti to treat Butterscotch! Anti can save Butterscotch! Call her quickly. If she doesnât come, kill her!â
Xanderâs eyes were filled with madness.
Seeing his heartbroken look, Nora reached out and squeezed his head. âXander, Iâm Anti.
Iâm Anti.
These words made Xanderâs body stiffen.
He pushed Nora away and looked at her in shock. âYouâre Anti⦠Mommy, hurry up and save Butterscotch!â
The first time he called Nora Mommy, he was asking her for something she couldnât do.
However, Nora knew that if she didnât do something now, Xander would probably go crazy.
She took a deep breath and nodded. âOkay.â
Then, she pulled out her phone and called Lily.
Lilyâs voice was hoarse. âChief, I had oversleptâ¦â
She had done the DNA tests without sleep for several days. She hadnât even attended the childrenâs birthday party and had overslept.
It had only been two hours.
Before she could finish complaining, she heard Nora say, âCome to the Hunts immediately and help me with a heart transplant operation!â
ââ¦OK.â
