When the couple turned around to catch up to the boys, they noticed someone flash by nearby—it was Caleb.
All three noticed one another. Caleb paused and looked at Nora.
Both Nora and Justin stopped and then approached Caleb.
Caleb also walked toward them.
They met in the middle where all three stopped.
Caleb, who looked solemn, frowned and asked, “Isn’t there any other solution we can try? Is Xander really going to die? If you can, I’d like you to extract the V16 from my blood and administer it to him.”
Nora replied, “You know it yourself that the V16 is absorbed into the cells once it has been injected into someone. Doing that is useless now.”
Caleb then asked, “It’s been so long. Haven’t you found the V16 formula yet?”
Nora shook her head. “You’ve been with us the whole time over the last month. When am I supposed to find the time to do any research?”
Caleb suddenly became furious. Seemingly a little crazed, he snapped, “So, why did you do that? Why didn’t you use this time to study the V16 instead of wasting time traveling around? If you had studied the V16 in the lab from the start, maybe you’d already have found the formula by now! And Xander wouldn’t have had to die anymore!”
Nora replied, “Xander made his choice.”
The chances of her successfully developing the V16 in the laboratory within a month were close to zero.
So many people had spent decades trying to develop the V16 and still failed. Nora couldn’t say for sure that she could develop something like that in just a few months.
She had already made her decision with regard to this matter a few months ago.
Moreover, Lily had been in the laboratory all this time and even so, she had only just managed to outline the real situation. After all, genetic modification was a brand-new field for them. They had never looked into it before.
Upon hearing her reply, Caleb realized that his anger was utterly unreasonable. He lowered his head and took a deep breath.

Only then did the trio enter the villa. When they were about to head up the stairs, they saw Xander and Pete looking at them quietly.
