Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! Chapter 1489 We Will Live Happily Forever

Xander looked at Samuel and smiled, "You're right. This is indeed a counterplot."

Nicole's face turned clouded when she heard his answer. She only coldly snorted and turned her head
away to express her dissatisfaction, after all, Xander was her father and they hadn't met for many
years.

Xander could tell that Nichole was dissatisfied with what he had done. He said laughingly, "Don't you
think it is a good plan?"

"The plan is not bad, but it's inhumane."

Nicole couldn't say anything against her heart. 'This counterplot was indeed useful in finding out the
people hiding behind, but they didn't consider the feelings of the women while making the plan.'

'I was not a great person, but a little woman, who was able to analyze a problem from the big picture
but couldn't handle it without the inference of emotion.'

Samuel looked at his father-in-law with admiration.

'Xander really had a way. Although Nicole was angry at this, she wouldn't be too angry. Considering the
overall situation, the plan was the right thing to do.'

Nicole could distinguish between right and wrong.

Xander sighed, "The war is cruel. You may think it's not a war. The people behind the curtain have kept
looking for Laurence; they are not ordinary people. Why did they want to research the Berserk Gene?
Have you ever imagined what a disaster it might be if the Berserk Gene is put into military use? At that
time, wars won't be waged covertly but in an open way. Ordinary people have always been the greatest
victims of war since ancient times. Once the war breaks out, millions will lose their life. Wars are even
more destructive in modern times since there are modern military weapons."



No one had such a near-death experience as Xander did in the war. If he could choose, he wanted to
be a painter who traveled everywhere; being a soldier would be the last choice because choosing to be
a soldier meant choosing a life filled with the cruelty of incessant battles.

A trace of pain flashed through Xander's eyes.

He whispered, "I know the plan will make the women who love Davon and Laurence heartbroken, and
they might even harm themselves." But we need to ensure the safety of the rest of the world.
Compared with the grave consequences that might be caused by this incident, we can only choose the
lesser of two evils. It is also Davon's unshrinkable responsibility because he is a soldier. Laurence is
not, but involving him in this plan is also inevitable for he has the Berserk Gene. If we hadn't taken the
counterplot, it would be Davon and Laurence's lovers who suffered the most when Laurence goes
berserk. We have reduced the damage it might bring by making it occur earlier. Nicole, we hope that
you and other girls can live in a peaceful world, but peace doesn't come itself."

Nicole didn't know how to refute Xander's words.

As the wife and the daughter of two soldiers, she knew that she should unconditionally support all their
decisions, which meant she would inevitably endure grievance, sadness, and even misunderstanding.

At this moment, Nicole had understood the difficulty of being a soldier.

Her anger died at this thought.

"Dad, what about you? You've been a soldier for so many years. What are you protecting and
persisting in? What happened when Elvis took you away as the subject of research? How did you
manage to escape death after the release of the news of your death?"

Nicole looked at Xander. She really wanted to know.



Xander looked at Nicole and smiled, but there was a trace of bitterness in his smile.

"Would you believe me if I told you that I was not the person who was dissected by them?"

Nicole and Samuel were stunned at these words.

Samuel didn't believe that Elvis would do such a stupid thing, but...

Looking at their surprised faces, Xander took a deep breath and said, "My face was wounded by the
bombs when Elvis brought me to that isolated island. But no one would expect that a signaler of mine
would follow us all the way to that island."

A trace of nostalgia touched Xander's eyes, while he was recalling the past.

He still remembered the appearance of that signaler, who was of a similar height and body shape to
him. And this was the reason he chose him as his signaler. When he was out for an emergency
mission, he would make the signaler his body double to stabilize the morale of troops.

Coincidentally, that signaler even looked a little bit like Xander, although that resemblance only
appeared in their eyes, that was enough for the signaler to play his double.

They had worked together perfectly. When Xander was out for a mission, the signaler would dress up
like him so that they could fool the enemies. This also enabled Xander to sneak into the enemies' back
to carry out his mission. However, he did not expect the signaler would follow him when Elvis caught
him.

"His name is Carl Kent. He's Booth's uncle. His ancestors had a kinship with our ancestors, but they
were out of contact as each established their own family. I didn't expect that after several generations
we would meet again and experience life and death together."

Xander's eyes went moist when he thought of Carl.



"The first day on that island I was unconscious and my face was severely burnt, so Elvis took my blood
for a DNA test to confirm my identity. After my identity was confirmed, someone came to take my blood
for experiments. I had no idea about where I was because I was still in a daze and had a fever. I only
felt the needles sticking into my body from time to time. Afterward, I felt I was moved to another place.
When I woke up, I found myself in a closed space. There was no one around, but there was plenty of
food that could cover fifteen-day consumption."

"Nobody came there. It was so quiet that I could only hear my heartbeat. I didn't know the time. I didn't
know where I was. About half a month later, when I had eaten up all the food, someone opened the
door and walked in. That person looked somewhat like Carl. I was sure that they were relatives. That
man told me that he was Moore Kent, Carl's younger brother and Booth's father. He was also the
assistant of the doctor who was forced by Elvis to do the research on genetic modification."

"He told me that Carl had burned his face and replaced me as the subject of research. Carl asked him
to save me. He couldn't take me out and could only hide me in that place at that time since that island
was heavily guarded. That place was originally designed for the research, but it was abandoned due to
its ventilation. I wanted to go out after knowing that Carl had replaced me, but Moore injected
something into my body and I passed out. Then I fell into a deep coma for over twenty years.

Xander's words shocked Nicole and Samuel.

"You fell into a coma for more than twenty years?"

"Yes, I slept for more than twenty years. The medicine Moore had injected into my body caused me to
fall into a coma for over twenty years, and I still didn't find out what it is. Had it not been for the
explosion, I wouldn't wake up. I opened the door, ran out, and saw Audrey running towards me with a
corpse in her arms. Although time has wrinkled her face, I could still recognize her, because she is my
only true love. Audrey was very stunned, but she didn't say anything and immediately pulled me and



continued to run. Seeing that I was alive, she threw the corpse back. I knew it could be Carl but she did
that before I could stop her. My best brother died for me."

Later, Audrey told Xander all the sufferings Carl had experienced. He felt extremely distressed. Then
they established this secrete base and started searching for the people from the Kents. While they
were looking for Moore, they found that Moore had already been killed. To their relief, Booth and Olivia
had escaped because they were not in City B at that time. While they looking for the Kents, they
coincidently met Karina and saved her.

This was their story before they met Nicole and Samuel.

Nicole was deeply affected by their story.

'I owed a great debt to the Kent family. Had it not been for Carl, she would never have the chance to
know what my father looked like.'

"Dad, does Booth know this?"

"I've told it to Booth through Karina. I owed a lot to The Kents. I will treat the Kents as my own family for
the rest of my life."

Nicole nodded. She also thought the same way.

Nicole found something confusing, so she asked, "Mom loved you so much. How could she mistake
that corpse as yours? I saw her nearly collapsed when she saw that corpse. How much do you look like
each other?"

"I'd say fifty percent."



Audrey walked out of the kitchen. Thinking of the past, she whispered, "I missed him so much and I
haven't seen him for so many years. I thought it was normal for his appearance to change after so
many years, especially on that island. The people in that place would torture him. That's why I mistook
that corpse as him. And on the finger of that corpse, I found the ring I bought for him. Our names were
engraved on it. "

Xander hugged her and whispered, "Carl did that. He pursued perfection with everything. To become
my substitute, he picked up my habits and mimicked me very well."

"I'm very grateful to him. Although it's cruel to him, I still thank him for replacing you. Life without you
was meaningless. I don't want to live that kind of life anymore."

"Not anymore, we will live happily forever."

Xander looked at her tenderly and patted her back.

Nicole didn't want to bother them, but since the topic had gone this far, she needed to get more
information. She cleared her throat and asked again, "Do you know who is behind this now? Have you
found anyone suspicious?"
