When Nora heard this, she lowered her eyes.
Caleb spoke again, "He has never trusted me completely, so I didn't find out her identity. However, since he said that, I think you should be careful."
"Actually, you don't have to trust anyone, even if it's me."
At this point, Caleb coughed again. "Although I don't have a long life, who knows if I'll want the gene serum again someday?"
Nora asked, "How is your health?"
"I won't die for a month, at least."
Caleb replied with a smile as if he was not sensitive to this topic at all.
Nora was silent for a long time before saying, "Rest well."
"... Okay."
Nora wanted to hang up the phone, but seeing that he was a little hesitant, she asked, "Why?"
"Yes?"
"Is there nothing else?"
"..." Caleb was silent for a moment before he coughed and said, "You... nothing. I'm hanging up."
"Okay."
After hanging up, Nora felt that Caleb still had some things to say. She frowned and decided to drive to the hospital.
Caleb had helped her block Barbarian's attack last time.
Bones in his entire body had cracked, and he was still recuperating.
In the VIP ward.
When Nora arrived, Caleb was already asleep.
When the nurse saw her, she said softly, "Mr. Gray's injuries are recovering very quickly, but his wounds still hurt. Besides, he was given general anesthesia during the surgery. He can't be given any more sedatives now, so it hurts every time we change the dressing."
Hearing this, Nora frowned. "Then, he endured it?"
"Not really." The caregiver smiled. "Whenever this happens, Mr. Gray takes out his earphones and wears them. Hearing the music makes his body feel relaxed. He was also very cooperative when changing the dressing. The doctor asked him what music he was listening to that was so effective, but Mr. Gray did not say anything. We just joked that it was his anesthesia."
Listening to music to relieve pain?
This was also a solution.
Nora did not take it seriously. She put on her scrubs and entered the intensive care unit. After checking Caleb's various indicators, she then looked at the person on the bed.
Caleb lay there with a faint smile on his lips.
He still had the Bluetooth earpiece in his ear. One of them fell down and landed beside the infusion tube.
Nora was worried that he would move in his sleep and accidentally press on his earpiece, so she took it out for him. Just as she was about to place it on the table, her ear twitched.
When the nurse said that listening to music could relieve the pain, Nora was very curious.
After all, this was a medical study. If it was really so effective, she could forget about using anesthesia for mild pain in the future.
She did not plan to invade someone else's privacy herself.
After all, the things he heard most likely belonged to him and could comfort him.
However, she really did not eavesdrop. She was blaming her good hearing!
The moment she held the earpiece, the voice from inside reached her ears.
When Nora heard that voice, she was stunned.
She looked at the bed again. Caleb was still sleeping.
Nora felt that she might have heard wrongly.
Otherwise, why would she hear her voice through his earpiece?
