Xander froze. Seeing Audrey's suspicious looks, he was so painful.
"What do you think of me?"
The question took Audrey aback.
How was Xander?
He was upright and persisted in his ideals with faith in his heart. And he never gave in to the evil forces.
All of these attracted her. But why did she feel embarrassed as Xander asked her the question at this
moment?
"I just feel that the way you look at him is different. Xander, I don't want to doubt you, nor do I want to
see you and Nicole grow apart. Laurence is her good friend. What do you want to do with him?"
After so many years, Audrey didn't know what inhumane torture Xander had suffered on the island, but
she knew that the question she asked today would probably hurt him.
"Sorry."
"You don't have to apologize."
Although Xander was sad, seeing Audrey like this, he didn't feel good.
Looking at the sleeping Laurence, Xander sighed and whispered, "He is Carl's son."
"How could that be possible? When Dr. Miller caught his parents, the man was not Carl. At that time,
Carl was..."
"I know."
Xander's voice was somewhat low.
"The man Dr. Miller caught was not Laurence's father, but his good friend who took care of Laurence
and his mother instead. Later, to protect Carl, the man admitted that he was Laurence's father."
Hearing Xander's words, Audrey asked in puzzlement, "But Dr. Miller is researching on genes. Can't he
know that the man isn't Laurence's father?"
"That man and Carl have the same blood type."
Audrey instantly understood as she heard what Xander said.
"Oh, I see."
Laurence's biological father was dissected for the sake of Xander. He had never seen his wife and
children until his death. Now that Laurence was in such a situation, it was no wonder that Xander was
desperate to save him.
"So, Laurence and Booth are brothers?"
"Cousins."
Xander felt depressed.
He thought that he was omnipotent. Later, he realized that he was nothing. He couldn't even protect his
closest people and his best friends. What else could he do?
Now that his good friend's son had stuck in this situation, how could he allow this thing to happen
again?
"I understand. But I am still wondering why Davon's blood can ease Laurence's rage?"
Facing Audrey's question, Xander whispered, "Davon's blood is kind of special."
"What does that mean?"
Xander coughed. Audrey hurriedly got him a cup of boiled water.
He took a sip and said, "When William and Sally were in love, his food was poisoned. Leo intended to
use Sally to secretly poison William. Later on, Sally knew about this, so she gave William some
antidotes. However, before the toxin was removed, something bad happened to William. Sally was
brought back. And she found that she was pregnant. Davon was born with poison. His entire body was
purple when he was born and his breathing was weak. Morgan said that he might not be able to
survive. At that time, Sally almost lost her mind."
"Davon is the only child of Sally and William. At that time, Sally's only hope was to protect Davon, so
she ordered Morgan to steal a reagent from Leo's research institution. It is said that the reagent was a
gene reagent just developed. At that time, Davon was on the verge of death. Sally had no better way
but injected it into Davon's body."
"Fortunately, Davon survived and the toxins in his body have been removed without side effects.
Afterward, time was running out. Sally sent Davon to the Sawyer family. She secretly sent Morgan to
observe him from time to time and found that this boy was particularly strong in physical fitness. His
physical endurance was better than ordinary people's. Sally did experiments, but she failed to find out
his limit. Fortunately, he didn't have any other effects except this. Later, when Davon was sent back to
our country to join the army, doctors gave him a thorough examination. They even tested and
researched his blood, which had no difference from that of ordinary people. His DNA was also
unaffected, but his blood type was changed, it became a totally new one in the world, which could quell
Laurence's Berserk Gene. So, I guess Elvis contacted Leo then. They studied the genetic data
together. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental?"
Hearing Xander's words, Audrey became nervous.
"Then if Martin knew about this, wouldn't Davon be in danger?"
"Yes. So, just keep this between you and me. Even Davon can't know this."
Xander frowned and whispered, "Davon must live a good life carefully. Otherwise, no one can give him
a blood transfusion. Many doctors are studying his blood, trying to produce artificial blood.
Unfortunately, they all failed."
Audrey became serious.
She suddenly thought of something, "Have you kept in contact with the military compound?"
"Yes, because of my experience, the superiors decided to transfer me to the research group. Davon is
one of the top-secret protectors designated by them."
Looking at the sleeping Laurence, Xander continued, "Laurence is another top-secret protector. They
are complementary. If we can direct Laurence to the right path, he might become a secret weapon of
the country."
"Laurence is not a weapon. He is a person! He had no choice. He had been him since he was born."
Audrey suddenly became emotional.
"Isn't Carl a martyr? Did the country award him? Laurence's mother was a soldier's spouse, wasn't
she? She died so miserably. Did the country give compensation? Laurence was so miserable. He was
forced to accept all of this before he was born. Now that he was like this, the superiors want him to
become a sharp weapon of the country? Won't he feel hurt or sad? Aren't you afraid of hurting him by
doing so?"
Audrey's eyes instantly became moist.
Seeing that Audrey was as kind and righteous as she was twenty years ago, Xander couldn't help but
hold her in his arms.
"How do you know that Carl isn't a martyr?"
"What do you mean?"
Audrey looked at Xander with tears rolling down her eyes.
Xander felt heartbreaking.
He didn't want to make Audrey cry.
"After Elvis' matter was exposed, I asked the superiors to award Carl as a martyr. As I hadn't found
Laurence then and some things needed to be done, they didn't give Laurence compensation, but it was
saved in the fund. The state even compensated the Kent family. They recruited Booth into the army.
Unfortunately, Booth's legs went wrong, so I suggested that you bring Karina back. Nonetheless,
Karina had a connection to the Kent family. I shouldn't have told you these things right now. I should tell
you when everything is over. But seeing Laurence in such a state, I'm afraid there is something bad
happening. "
Hearing what Xander said, Audrey immediately became nervous.
"What do you want to do? Xander, no matter what happens, you can't leave me and take a risk this
time."
Xander smiled and said, "I won't. Now tell me how you got poison in your body?"
"I don't know. My health wasn't good at that time. Morgan, who treated me, told me that I had cancer
and told my father so. I don't know why she said that. But it's said that she had worked for Jayden for
some time. I didn't know if she was forced or voluntary. So, I think I'll ask her about the poison when I
get out. Perhaps there will be some clues. Now she works for Samuel. So, she wouldn't lie to us
anymore."
Audrey's words upset Xander.
"Don't get tired. The poison in your body isn't easy to remove. I wonder if the new drug Dr. Clarkson is
researching has any side effects. Please hold on."
"It doesn't matter. I've lived so long. I don't have any regrets after seeing you and your daughter being
good."
"Nonsense. We've wasted too much time. You have to keep healthy from now on, so we can explore
the mountains and rivers. When all of this is over, I'll resign and travel around the world with you."
Xander's smile was especially gentle.
Audrey rested her head against Xander's shoulder and said softly, "As long as I'm with you and the
children, a day is forever to me."
"I'll be sad if you do this. I'm here. I won't allow anything to happen to you, much less allow you to die
before me. I haven't met our second child yet. Don't you want to see Sally? And your father. If he
knows you are still alive, he will be happy."
Listening to her beloved's voice, Audrey couldn't help but smile when she thought of the reunion not
long after.
"Sometimes I feel that after getting through those bitter days, the rest will be sweetness."
"Yes. So, don't give up."
In short, Xander was afraid that Audrey would not be able to persevere.
Audrey couldn't help but smile.
They were lovey-dovey here. Samuel dragged Davon into his lab. Looking at the research equipment in
the lab, he whispered, "Have you contacted Phoenix?"
Davon paused for a moment and said jealously, "Why do you care so much about my wife? Samuel, do
you like my wife?"
"Hey! She is my sister!"
"She's your sister-in-law."
Davon smiled as he said.
Samuel wanted to beat this man.
"I don't think Laurence gives you a good kick. How about harder?"
Davon knew when to stop, "No, thank you. I will make some nutrient fluid for Nicole."
As he spoke, he got some herbs and began to work on them.
Samuel kept staring at Davon with his mind racing.
Davon and Laurence were unrelated. Why could Davon's blood ease Laurence's rage? Was there
anything he didn't know? Davon was so crushed on Phoenix, who almost died for him. Shouldn't he
contact Phoenix to explain the situation immediately? Why didn't he do that?
