Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 714

In the hospital.

When Nora arrived at the laboratory, Lily was analyzing the components of VIZ. Seeing Nora enter, Lily immediately said, "Boss, the serum's components are indeed not analyzable. It is too complex, I am afraid it will take a few years for us to study it thoroughly."

Nora was not surprised.

If the gene serum's formula was that easy to analyze, then Trueman and the others would not have pursued her mother so persistently.

Twenty-five years had already passed, yet Trueman and the others were still putting their hopes of finding clues on her. In that case, this must surely be a herculean task.

To be honest, Nora had already expected the results, but she still couldn't bring herself to terms with it.

She nodded. "I'll take over."

Lily stepped aside and Nora sat down. She held various instruments in her hands and separated the components of the serum, hoping to find clues from it.

Three days later.

Nora's eyes were bloodshot and she had dark circles under her eyes.

After three consecutive days of work without any sleep, she had finally derived the V15 formula, but at the same time, her heart also sank.

It was really a gene-repairing drug and not some kind of

narcotic drug.

In other words, Xander must be injected with the drug, otherwise, he would really die.

She took a deep breath.

A while later, she took out her cell phone and called Caleb, who was abroad.

As soon as the call connected, Caleb said, "Nora, I have been waiting for your call."

Nora kept quiet for a while before she asked, "Is it necessary to inject him with the V15?"

"Yes, it is." Caleb said, "If you don't, the reparation of the previously repaired genes won't be adequate, and his brain will explode which would surely kill him. I have already looked into it—Xander's modifications are in his brain genes. If the V15 is not injected at the stipulated time, he will die."

Nora sighed. "The V15's formula does not seem very complex."

"Yes, none of the formulas from VI to V15 are complex. The most complex one is the V16. In addition, there are a few types of gene serums. Some improve IQ while some improve physical strength. The formulas for VI to V15 are all different for each type of serum. The only thing they have in common is that they all need the very last V16!"

Upon hearing this, Nora's pupils shrank.

Caleb sighed. "I'm dying, so I don't need the V16 anymore. However, every genetically-modified person would need the V16 at the end. Therefore, you should know the importance of the V16 now, right?"

Nora nodded to express that she had understood.

No wonder her mother had said that she must not expose her abilities, lest she ended up being targeted.

It was possible that some of the most outstanding people in the world might just be genetically-modified humans. Additionally, there were so many people that needed the V16 as an antidote.

She suddenly felt even greater pressure.

Such a group of people looking for her, could she really obtain the V16 for Xander?

Also...

If what her mother had left behind was really the formula... If she really produced the V16, thereby removing the last restriction on successful genetic modifications, what would the world turn into?

Would someone deliberately train a group of genetically modified warriors and unify the world?

Or would human beings with genetically modified IQ genes develop at a high speed and deplete the earth's resources in a dozen years—or perhaps even just a few years?

She dared not imagine such consequences.

But with how things currently were, she didn't have the leisure to care about such things anymore either.

Nora said, "I see."

Caleb was silent for a while. Suddenly, he said, "I didn't expect Xander to also be your son. Don't worry, I will contact you in time if I find clues regarding the V16."

Nora had been trying hard to find clues from the things that her mother had left behind, but she still couldn't find any.

It would be for the best if Caleb could inform her if he found any clues.

Nora replied, "Thanks a lot."

Caleb kept quiet for a while before he finally said, "You're welcome."

After hanging up the phone, Nora called Justin.

The phone only rang once before Justin answered. He asked, "How is it?"

Nora was silent for a moment. Finally, she said, "Let's inject him with it."

When Justin heard this, he knew at once that the serum was safe and could be injected as-is. But at the same time, the injection would only extend Xander's lifespan by three months.
