Chapter 471 Mortimer's Substitute
Rhys quickly replied, [I discussed it with Nora at the time. It was her idea. I only went along with it to deceive you. How can you blame me alone?
Isaac: [Who gave you the money? Who should you listen to?]
Rhys: [But you also said that Nora's demands outweigh yours. I remembered your words and actively followed through.
Isaac: [Facepalm.]
Rhys: [So, did you manage to smooth things over with Nora? Is she still mad?]
Isaac: [I did. She's currently undergoing an abortion.]
Rhys: [?]
[You call that smoothing things over? If she's appeased, why is she still aborting the baby?]
Isaac: [Who said that appeasing her means she has to keep the baby?]
[Besides, she already has children. It doesn't matter if she has another one or not.]
Rhys: [But those two kids aren't yours.]
Isaac: [They are mine.]
Rhys just assumed Isaac was treating them as his own out of love for Nora.
He didn't believe that Magnus and Soren were Isaac's biological children.
Because their birth dates didn't match the time Isaac and Nora were together.
When Nora was with Isaac back then, she was pregnant, but before she left Isaac, she had already aborted the baby and even threw the aborted fetus at Isaac.
He still couldn't forget that scene.
Including Isaac's look of despair at the time.
Back then, he thought that with Nora being so ruthless, Isaac would never get over it in his lifetime.
Unexpectedly, after a few years, they were back together.
Thanks to Isaac's tolerance.
Rhys: [Forget it, I won't persuade you, love-struck fool.]
[But you also secretly had an illegitimate child, so you and Nora are even.]
Isaac was silent.
He wanted to say that his "illegitimate child" and Nora's two children were from the same pregnancy.
But he feared Rhys couldn't keep a secret, so he decided not to tell him the truth.
Rhys continued, [But your illegitimate child isn't doing well. He can't hear or speak, so getting an education is going to be really tough for him He may not grow up to be an outstanding person. You should have more children to choose the best heir.]
Isaac: [If you dare call my son an illegitimate child again, I'll break your mouth.]
Rhys fell silent.
Isaac: [The Porter family doesn't lack children. Besides me, my other cousins have many children. Even if I don't have kids, the Porter family won't die out. You don't need to worry about my heir.]
[Just arrange the surgery for me now.]
Rhys was silent for a while before replying, [I've developed a male contraceptive injection. One shot works for a year. The verification phase is almost over. In half a month, you can get the injection. You don't need surgery.]
Isaac replied unhappily, [If you have time, focus on researching Magnus's condition instead of those random studies.]
Rhys felt helpless, [No drug can be used on humans immediately after it's developed. I created that drug two years ago. For the past two years, I've been conducting animal and human trials, not recent research!]
[Since Magnus's incident, my research has been focused on his condition. I absolutely don't have time for anything else!]
Isaac didn't continue the conversation.
He sent a list to Wesley, asking him to arrange for someone to buy and deliver it to Nora's house.
The list was compiled after consulting a professional nutritionist last night, containing items to help Nora recover.
About half an hour later, Nora was wheeled into the ward.
This kind of surgery didn't require hospitalization. After about half an hour of observation, she could be discharged if there were no issues.
Nora lay on the hospital bed, feeling a bit weak due to the anesthesia but otherwise fine.
She didn't feel any pain.
But Isaac held her hand, his eyes red, looking like he was about to cry.
Nora, afraid he might shed tears, quickly said, "Don't cry. I don't have the energy to comfort you right now."
Isaac denied it, "I won't cry. I'm very strong."
Nora raised an eyebrow, "Then why are your eyes so red?"
Isaac stubbornly said, "Just eye infection."
Nora's mouth twitched.
Isaac buried his head in front of Nora, feeling heartbroken.
Although Nora didn't seem to be in serious condition, he still felt very distressed.
Nora gently patted his head, like petting an animal.
Nora rested on the hospital bed for half an hour.
After the doctor confirmed she was fine, she was discharged.
Isaac wanted to carry her out.
Nora didn't want to be watched by others and sternly refused.
He felt aggrieved.
At the hospital entrance, a black luxury car was parked in an inconspicuous corner.
In the car, Mortimer watched the hospital entrance with a deep gaze.
He didn't look away until he saw Nora and Isaac come out of the hospital and drive away.
After a long time, he closed the car window and look at Lora Stoll sitting in the passenger seat.
Lora, sitting beside him, looked very similar to Nora.
But it was clear she had some plastic surgery marks on her face.
Her figure and hairstyle were also identical to Nora's.
In dim light, she could really pass for Nora.
After the car window was closed, the light inside the car dimmed.
Mortimer quietly looked at Lora, his cold gaze gradually softening.
He gently stroked her cheek.
Lora's eyes immediately showed a look of joy.
Mortimer's expression instantly turned cold, and he quickly sobered up.
He withdrew his hand, his gaze lowering to her abdomen.
After a while, he slowly offered, "Lora, have a child for me."
Lora was ecstatic, her voice trembling, "Really? Mr. Radcliffe, I would love to have a child for you!"
Not just one, she would have a hundred children if he wanted!
Mortimer frowned, showing a hint of dissatisfaction, "I told you not to speak in front of me. You don't sound like her."
Her appearance could be made to look like Nora's, and her actions and habits could be learned.
But Nora's voiced and natural demeanor were impossible for Lora to imitate.
Lora felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her, showing a hint of hurt.
She bit her lip, not daring to speak again.
Mortimer continued, "I'll arrange for you to go abroad tomorrow. There will be a medical team to perform IVF for you."
Lora's eyes widened in shock.
IVF?
