Each has his own ulterior motives
"Injection?" Adam frowned.
Phillips glanced at him from the corner of his eyes and chuckled, "What? Could it have been thrown away? Mr. He spent 80 million to buy it. Wouldn't it be a pity to lose it? "
Adam narrowed his eyes and ordered the attendant, "Go and get the syringe."
"Yes."
After instructing his subordinates, he looked at Phillips and said, "I didn't know that the medicine used to treat heart failure could also treat thirst. What did you guys do to Lilith? What did you do to Lilith when you sent me away that time? "
Adam had always remembered that when Phillips had just taken office, he had asked Qiao Qiao out for a meal. However, he had plotted to make her unconscious and even sent him away. Although he had been assured that he would not harm her life, from the current situation, Phillips had only promised that he would not harm her life.
How could he be fooled by this kind of word game? He was really stupid!
"Hehe, are you questioning me now?" Phillips sneered disdainfully. His expression was somewhat sarcastic. "I'll say it again. Everything I did was for the J Organisation, and I didn't harm Lilith's life. I didn't hinder your mission. What else do you have to ask?"
Adam: "…"
Phillips slowly approached Adam. His angelic face had a sinister expression as he said, "Adam, I've always wanted to get hold of your weakness. Although I still don't have any evidence of your betrayal of the J Organisation, you've always been on my watch list. Do you know why?"
When talking to Phillips, one had to be extra careful because he could detect clues from one's every move and see through one's thoughts.
When facing Phillips, even Adam did not dare to relax. His expression was indifferent as his dark red eyes looked straight at Phillips. "Regardless of whether you suspect me or not, I have never been disloyal to the J Organisation."
"It's better to say that to Black J. It won't have much effect on me." Phillips's lips curved into a cold smile. "By the way, don't you think you're too attached to Lilith? Adam, I don't know what methods you used to get the mission of protecting Lilith and staying by her side as her executive officer, but in my opinion, it's too much of a coincidence. You're also unimaginably good to her. "
Adam said indifferently, "That's just your prejudice against me. What I'm doing is just seriously carrying out my mission."
"Haha, that's true." Phillips's hands were in his pockets as a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He said playfully, "But I'm really looking forward to seeing how you'll react if the Organisation really falls out with Lilith and asks you to kill her yourself."
Adam's expression grew colder. He looked at Phillips and said word by word, "Lilith will not fall out with the J Organisation."
"That's hard to say …"
At this moment, the attendant who went to get the syringe came in. Phillips looked at the familiar silver-white box used to store the syringe and said, "You haven't used it since the last time, right? The two seals haven't been opened yet. "
He stepped forward and took out the syringe. The blood-red liquid flowed through the glass tube like blood.
"Come and help me. It's a little painful to inject this. Lilith is unconscious now. It won't be good if she gets agitated because of the pain."
Adam walked over to help Phillips control Qiao Qiao. He rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair and slender wrist. When the thin needle was about to touch Qiao Qiao's arm, Adam suddenly blocked it. Phillips was stunned and looked up at him. "What are you still worried about at this time?"
"Can Lilith really recover after this injection?" Adam asked uncertainly.
Phillips shrugged. "You can choose not to believe it. But things have already deteriorated to this point. Are you sure you have a better way?"
This sentence hit Adam's soft spot.
Yes, he had tried everything, but he still couldn't do anything about Qiao Qiao's condition. The doctor had given him an ultimatum. If Lilith's condition continued to deteriorate, she would very likely hurt the baby in her belly. This was the last thing he wanted to see.
Although he knew that Phillips would never be so kind as to help Qiao Qiao, Adam could only compromise.
The red needle was injected into her vein bit by bit. Qiao Qiao's reaction was very intense. She struggled violently in pain, but Adam held her tightly with both hands. When the red needle was injected, Qiao Qiao gradually calmed down. Her eyes were unfocused, and in the end, she fell into Adam's arms in a daze.
Adam helped her to the bed, covered her with a quilt, and gently stroked her broken hair. Looking at her gradually calming face, a bitter smile appeared on his face. Only when she was sleeping, he had the illusion that Qiao Qiao was still a normal person.
"We will know the effect when Lilith wakes up. But her condition has deteriorated so much that I can't say how much she can recover."
Adam looked at Qiao Qiao, who was sleeping soundly. After a few seconds, he stood up and pointed to the door. "I have something to tell you. How about we go outside?"
Phillips looked down for a moment and casually threw the discarded needle into the bin. He nodded. "Sure."
Before leaving, Adam instructed his confidant to guard Qiao Qiao's room. Then, he left with Phillips.
The Holy Light Palace was very big. It was easy to find a secluded place.
The two of them went to an empty room.
"Why did you ask me to come here?" Phillips asked first.
Adam looked straight at him and asked, "Tell me, what is the purpose of your visit?"
He didn't believe that Phillips would be so kind. He was full of sincerity this time. He must have something to say to him.
"Isn't the purpose of my visit to help Lilith return to normal?" Phillips smiled. His smile was always deceitful. People couldn't help but overlook how scary he was.
"It's just the two of us now. I don't want to talk nonsense with you." Adam's voice was cold. His gaze was fixed on Phillips. "I have a few conjectures now …"
"Oh?" Phillips raised his eyebrows.
He looked like he wanted to hear the details.
"I think the deterioration of Lilith's condition this time wasn't part of your plan."
Phillips knew that the man in front of him was very sharp. He didn't intend to continue hiding. He nodded and said, "That's right. The deterioration of Lilith's condition this time was beyond my expectations. To be precise, the time limit of her deterioration was brought forward."
Adam's eyes darkened. He said his second conjecture. "The person who caused Lilith's condition to deteriorate earlier is your enemy, right?"
