The phone call went silent. Trueman did not hang up.
He smiled on the other end and said, "Little servant, I've finally made you obedient. Hahaha, Xander really is my good son. He made you so obedient."
Nora sat on the bus very calmly. "Can you let me talk to Xander for a while?"
She knew that Trueman liked her being obedient, so her tone was very tactful.
Indeed, this attitude pleased Trueman. He smiled. "Of course."
Then, Nora heard a sobbing voice on the other end. "…"
Xander's silence filled the phone. He seemed to not know what to say.
Nora's heart clenched slightly. She slowly said, "Xander…"
Her words made Xander choke even harder as he cried, "Mommy, I'm sorry!"
Nora quickly comforted him. "You don't have to apologize. There's no need to be sorry. I'm the one who let you down. I gave birth to you, but I didn't even know of your existence. I let you live in hell for so many years. Xander, you're the child I feel most guilty towards."
