Chapter 522



.

After Nora sent the message, Trueman replied, “Give him the medicine first.”

Nora: “…”

This person knew how to negotiate.

She looked at Morris.

After all, they were in the special department. If Morris did not agree, the deal could not be completed.

Morris was silent for a moment. There was a look of deep reflection on the man’s determined face. Then he nodded, his cold facial features full of determination. “All right.”

The two of them reached the storage room and saw the medicine Caleb had taken out when he was arrested.

Nora looked at the medicine bottle. It was a medicine to treat coughs and also had some function to clear the lungs. To keep Caleb from hurting himself, she specially opened the medicine and took a look. The medicine inside was of medium level. He crushed up a pill, sniffed it and tasted it. Finally, he nodded to Morris to confirm that the medicine was adequate.

Morris turned and led Nora to the interrogation room.

The two arrived in the innermost interrogation room, completely made of metal. No matter how strong the person inside, he could not escape.

Morris pushed open the dark iron door, making a creaking sound.

Nora immediately saw Caleb sitting there.

She placed her hands in front of him obediently and lowered her head. When she heard the sound, she didn’t turn around. It was as if nothing around him had anything to do with him.

He coughed and held a piece of handkerchief in his hand. There were traces of blood on the handkerchief.

“Cough, cough, cough!… Cough, cough, cough!”

The entire interrogation room was filled with her coughing sounds, making one feel uncomfortable.

She grabbed a paper cup and took a glass of water from the water dispenser next to her. Then, she turned to Caleb and placed the medicine in front of him before handing him the water.

Caleb took the water and the medicine. His hands were shaking slightly as he lowered his head and said, “Thank you.”

This was the first thing Caleb said after he was arrested.

Nora replied, “You’re welcome.”

Caleb’s fingers paused slightly. Then, he looked up in surprise. At the sight of Nora, he seemed to freeze.

Hesitation appeared in his eyes. Then, he returned to normal and took the medicine.

After taking the medicine, she drank the entire glass of water.

Seeing that Caleb still seemed to be coughing, Nora picked up the glass and went to the water dispenser next to it. She helped him get another glass of water and handed it back to him. Caleb stared at the glass and his gaze rested on Nora’s slender, fair fingers.

He was silent for a moment before taking the glass and drinking again. He didn’t look at her again, however, as if he didn’t know her.

Nora watched his expression and was slightly stunned.

The next moment, it dawned on her. If the two of them acted too familiarly, perhaps it would arouse the suspicions of the special department. That was why he was deliberately cold to her.

Nora hesitated a moment before sitting down across from him.

Morris had already closed the door, preventing probing outside.

He sat down with Nora and took out a notebook and pen. It looked like he had some statements to prepare. “Mr. Gray, may I know what your relationship is with Trueman?”

Caleb coughed, but it was clearly less loud than before. It must have been the two glasses of water and the medicine.

He looked up at the two of them. “You don’t have to think long to question me. I won’t say anything. I have nothing to do with Trueman.”

The moment he said this, Morris said coldly, “If that’s the case, why would he text Nora to give you the medicine? A person like him doesn’t care about other people’s lives, but he gives you special treatment!”

Trueman was a very cold-blooded person.

So far, he had killed four people.

One of them was Abigail, and the other was Victor. When the two were defeated by Nora, one died on the spot and the other was arrested. In the end, they died in their cells.

Then, he gave the drug to Hillary, and she died in pain.

He even killed Yvonne.

Now, the other bodyguards were being tortured in every way possible, but he didn’t care at all. He only cared about a sick Caleb.

As soon as Morris finished speaking, Caleb suddenly raised his head. He looked at Morris and Nora in disbelief. Then, he said in a trembling voice, “Don’t make any deals with him!”.

This sentence was full of vigilance.

Nora frowned.

Morris hesitated a moment and looked at Nora.

Evidently, it was good progress for Caleb to speak after Nora came in!

Morris questioned him. “Why? He just asked Miss Smith to give you the medicine, and then he would answer some of her questions. This doesn’t seem to hurt Miss Smith.”

Caleb’s expression became nervous. He said again to Nora, “Listen to me. Don’t make any deals with him.”

Nora: “…”

She frowned. “You should worry more about yourself!”.

Caleb took a deep breath. He still lowered his head. Even in the dark interrogation room, he seemed gentlemanly and refined.

His voice was rich and powerful. “Miss Smith, Captain Ford, you don’t have to waste your effort on me. I still stand by the same thing. I won’t say anything. You can torture me…cough, cough, cough…”

A burst of coughing interrupted him.

He was coughing violently, looking like he was going to cough his lungs out. It was unbearable to watch.

After this coughing fit passed, he said, “My broken body is already riddled with holes. I don’t fear any pain, so your torture is useless against me. Of course, you can try… cough, cough, cough…” Nora and Morris looked at each other.

Without even trying, they knew that this violent cough would tear someone’s throat. Their organs would definitely be very uncomfortable. Right now, any other stimulus would be good for him. It might divert his attention.

Besides…

Looking at Caleb’s body, he probably wouldn’t be able to survive if they tortured him too much.

This was also one of the reasons Morris had not used torture.

Nora stood up and walked over to Caleb. She reached out and squeezed his wrist.

Caleb wanted to pull on the wrist, but Nora used a little force and could not get free. She could only frown and say, “Miss Smith, it’s no use even if you try. If it were possible, I would have let him treat me a long time ago. Cough, cough, cough…”

Nora frowned and commanded, “…Shut up.”

Alternative medicine practitioners hated it when patients moved or talked. They had to be quiet. Her fierce words made Caleb choke. He couldn’t even cough.

Time passed slowly. Nora frowned hard.

She looked at Caleb in disbelief. She looked a little indignant as she closed her eyes again and continued to check his pulse.

A minute later, Nora opened her eyes in surprise.

Caleb quietly withdrew his hand and went back to covering his mouth with the handkerchief next to him. Because he was holding back a cough, his mouth tasted like blood.

He let out a shaky breath and a little blood splattered on the handkerchief.

It looked like he was going to vomit blood and die the next second….

Morris asked, “How is she?”

After learning that Nora was a disciple of Doctor Zabe, Morris was even more confident in her medical skills.

Nora hesitated for a moment. Just as she was thinking what to say, Caleb slowly said, “End-stage lung cancer.”

“I know.”

Nora: “…”

She looked at Caleb in surprise.

Caleb smiled. “I knew about this disease before I came back to the country, so I didn’t ask you to take a look at it. It’s useless because there are no good cancer drugs.”

Nora’s mouth tightened.

Caleb coughed again and wiped the corner of his lips. “You don’t have to look at me like that. I know I won’t live past thirty.”

He was now twenty-nine years and ten months old. He had only two months to live.

Besides, lung cancer was a very torturous disease.

Actually, dying early was a form of relief.

Of course, he didn’t say that.

Nora nodded to Morris.

Morris’s expression instantly darkened. Faced with such a patient, the Special Cases Department had no other means.

He looked at the guard at the door and said, “From now on, set a fixed time every day. Remember to give him the medicine.”

“Yes.”

After giving his instructions, he looked at Nora and gave her a look. Nora nodded.

She stood up. “Mr. Gray, get a good night’s rest.”

With that, she walked out with Morris.

However, just as she reached the door, she suddenly heard Caleb’s voice. “Miss Smith, I have something to tell you.”

Nora looked at him, “Please speak.”

Caleb was silent for a long moment before he finally said, “There may be some stones that are best left unturned because the truth will definitely be cruel.

The truth will be cruel….

Was he implying something?

Nora clenched her fists. “What do you mean?”

Caleb lowered his head, with an expression that he would not speak again. Nora walked out of the interrogation room full of thoughts.

She arrived in the lobby of the special department with Morris. Then, Nora pulled out her phone and sent a message to Trueman. [He’s taken the medicine. Do you need me to send you a video to prove it?].

Trueman quickly replied, [No need].

Nora: [Then where’s my answer].

Trueman’s response this time was a little slow. He was probably editing the content. It took him five minutes to send the message. When he saw his reply, Nora’s eyes widened in surprise….
