Chapter 695



.

Before Lily could hurry, the tables in the waiting room were already cleared. All of the Hunt’s medical equipment had been transported in under Justin’s direction.

As Lily hurried, she changed clothes and put on surgical gloves to assist Nora in the operation. When she saw the dog on the operating table, Lily was stunned. She hesitated and asked, “Chief, why are you operating on a m… dog?”

Before she could finish saying the words ‘dead dog,’ Nora gave her a sudden look. That look contained a warning, causing Lily to shut her mouth instantly.

Only then did she realize that the others in the room had been ejected. Except for one boy standing in the corner.

He stood silently with the knife in his hand and didn’t move at all. His eyes were fixed on the operating table.

He was not at all frightened by such a bloody scene.

Only then Lily realized that something was wrong. Therefore, she cooperated with Nora prepared to replace Butterscotch’s heart.

Nora stared at the dog. Butterscotch was already dead.

When Nora went to see him, she realized that his heart had already stopped beating.

This was also the first patient to die in front of her in Nora’s medical career.

But she was still acting.

No, it wasn’t an act.

Nora was actually dissecting Butterscotch.

These words were cruel. Butterscotch was Xander’s friend. Xander would never allow himself to be treated like that, but Nora had to.

That was because she wanted to observe the power of the gene serum through Butterscotch!

Xander had been injected with a gene serum. This was definitely the most important thing to her. Her mother had left nothing behind. She had researched this for a long time.

There was nothing in the company she had left behind either…or she hadn’t realized it yet.

She couldn’t place all her hope in her mother. She had to look into it herself.

When she saw Butterscotch’s heart full of cracks, her heart shrank. The power of that mysterious genetic serum was too great.

In Butterscotch’s body, only his heart was broken. The rest of his body was more developed than that of a normal dog.

In addition, the brain development of this dog was very good. The current Butterscotch had the intelligence of a three-year-old. The genetic serum was really powerful!

Two hours later, Xander covered Butterscotch with a white sheet.

He finally admitted that Butterscotch was dead.

He looked at Butterscotch stunned, but he didn’t cry. He just said, “So even a heart transplant was useless!”.

With that, the boy lowered his head, as if he felt guilty for his ignorant thoughts.

He looked at Butterscotch’s corpse and then at Nora. For the first time, he made his own request. “Can we… not eat Butterscotch?” Nora was taken aback.

Xander sighed. “All my friends who died in the past were eaten.”

He still remembered Butterscotch’s mother, who was also a big, fierce bitch. After she was taken away by the two bodyguards to be stuffed, the two had boasted in front of him, “Dog meat is really delicious!”

Therefore, after his little animals died, he would force himself to eat them.

In that case, the corpses of those friends would not be treated so cruelly.

But now, she no longer wanted to eat them.

Would his new parents agree?

While Xander was a little perturbed, Nora lifted his chin and touched his head.

Half an hour later, a trench was dug in the ground in the Hunt’s backyard. Butterscotch’s corpse was placed in a glass coffin Justin had purchased and slowly lowered underground. Then, the man handed a shovel to Xander. “Let him rest in peace!”

For the first time, Xander realized that his dead friend could be buried in peace.

His eyes turned red.

He finally felt the warmth of this home.

After burying Butterscotch, Xander was still sick. The boy had a slight fever and was talking nonsense in his sleep.

“Butterscotch, don’t worry, I’ll treat you.”

“Fluffy, don’t be afraid. I don’t have to eat you anymore. Actually, rabbit meat is very bad…”

Cherry looked at him with her chin propped up and sighed quietly.

Pete frowned as well. “Dad, shouldn’t Xander’s name be changed?”

Hearing this, Justin looked at Nora.

After Cherry had returned to the Hunts, he hadn’t changed her name. The name ‘Cheryl Smith’ was very nice to hear. Besides, he didn’t think there was anything between their last names.

As for Xander… Justin had already found some names for him. Since the boy had grown up enough, Justin wanted him to choose for himself once he was awake.

Nora didn’t mind this, but her heart ached for Xander.

Just then, her phone suddenly rang. It was a message from Trueman.

[Looking at the time, Butterscotch’s V15 should have expired. He died without V16, didn’t he? You want Xander to die too?]

[Oh, right, I forgot to tell you. Xander’s injected genes were to modify his brain, so if he dies, it won’t be from his heart. It’s no use transplanting his heart. You have to change his brain, but as everyone knows, there hasn’t been any successful cases of brain transplants yet. Besides, are you really going to replace his brain?].

[Since Xander is still an infant, he would only have about three months after taking the V15. Therefore, he is only three months old, like me].
