I've made up my mind!
"What happened to your hand?" Phillips's heart skipped a beat when he saw Eve's blood-stained hand.
Eve's forehead was covered in cold sweat. She sucked in a breath of cold air and held her shoulder tightly. Shaking her head, she said, "It's just a cut from a knife. It's not a big deal. Let's move quickly."
She had only gone to the convenience store to buy some things, but she had been ambushed. Although she had escaped, the hotel they were staying in must have been exposed. They had to move quickly.
"What are you waiting for? Take the necessary things and leave quickly! "Eve saw that Phillips was still in a daze and couldn't help but frown.
Phillips's eyes were locked on Eve, an unfathomable look appearing in his eyes. In the next second, Phillips pulled Eve's hand and sat her down on the edge of the bed. He said calmly, "Let's bandage your wound first. We have to check if there's any neurotoxin on the knife."
Eve pressed his hand down. "I've already checked the knife. There's no harmful substance on it. What's more important now is …"
"I know!" Phillips interrupted Eve's words. His expression was a little bad. His thin lips were slightly pursed, and there was a layer of haze on his face.
She was shocked by his reaction and didn't say anything else. She just stared at him blankly. She had some thoughts in her mind.
Phillips seemed to have realized that his reaction was a little too extreme. Looking at Eve's expression, he knew that he was feeling uneasy and revealing too much of his emotions. All of this was taboo. If it was in the past, he would never have made such a mistake. However, Eve made him change time and time again.
What was even more frightening was that he knew that Eve would interfere with him, but he still threw himself at her without any regard for the consequences. This was completely unimaginable in the past. In his eyes, it was something that only idiots would do. Who would have thought that he would do the same today, and even be willing to do it in the beginning?
He took out his first aid kit, cleaned Eve's wounds, and wrapped them in gauze. Then, he slowly explained, "The most important thing right now is to move to another location. But my heart aches when I see you bleeding."
His words were very simple, without any fancy words. He just expressed his worries in a simple and natural way.
Eve had never been cared for so much by anyone before. She felt a little strange and warm at the same time. She looked at Phillips quietly. She had never thought that she would have such a deep emotional entanglement with this person.
Actually, this was not bad.
She held Phillips's hand and nodded. "Okay."
After bandaging her wound, the two of them quickly packed up and left the hotel.
Eve suggested that they leave the city as soon as possible. It would be best if they could go abroad. However, Phillips was still taking his time, as if he was still struggling with something.
This gave her a very bad feeling.
Could it be that he was still hesitating whether to send her back to Feng Dike's family? Probably not. She knew better than anyone how terrifying this man's possessiveness was. This man was the type who would rather destroy something than have it for himself. He would not be so generous as to give what he liked to others.
Eve shook her head and forced herself not to think too much. At this moment, Phillips seemed to have made a decision and said, "Let's leave Country E tomorrow morning."
"Are you serious?" Eve's blue eyes flickered. She seemed to be a little excited.
Phillips nodded solemnly. He had his usual smile on his face, looking very cheerful and charming. "If we continue to stay, it will only increase the danger. It's better to leave as soon as possible."
"If you had made up your mind earlier, I wouldn't have been injured." Eve laughed out loud.
Phillips's gaze landed on Eve's arm. He paused for two seconds and said, "Since we're leaving, we have to make some preparations. Can you go and buy these things back? The supermarket nearby sells them. "
He handed a list to Eve.
Eve looked at the list and nodded. "Yes, I can. What about you?"
Looking at this situation, Phillips did not intend to go with her.
Phillips retracted his gaze and said calmly, "I also have to finish up. It's not that easy to leave without being seen by those people. There are a lot of preparations that need to be done."
Phillips was an expert in this aspect. Eve did not doubt him. Or rather, she was now dominated by joy. As long as they left here, sending her back to Feng Dike would completely vanish. Feng Dike's alliance with the J Organisation would also be ruined. This was a good thing that could kill two birds with one stone.
"My anti-reconnaissance score is not as high as yours. Whatever you say. I'm going out."
"Okay. Be careful not to be targeted again."
"I know." Eve waved her hand and opened the door to leave.
The moment she closed the door, the smile on Phillips's face completely disappeared. He turned and walked into the side room. His gaze was malicious and filled with anger.
He quickly turned on his computer and said angrily, "My Lord, you said you would give me three days!"
The person on the other side of the screen was not flustered. He slowly said, "I did give you three days. Is there a problem?"
"Why did you send people to ambush Eve? Don't tell me that those people acted on their own! "
"Phillips, love makes people numb. This is an eternal truth. You have lost your rational judgment because of a woman. Haven't you raised the alarm?"
Phillips: "…"
"I did give you three days. That's why I didn't kill Eve. Otherwise, I would have killed her the last time! Moreover, I said I would give you three days to consider. Did I say that I wouldn't kill Eve? My purpose for doing this is to make you more clear-headed. With you, this kind of situation will continue to happen. You can't guard that woman forever. There will be a time when you will act alone, and that will be the time for us to make our move. "
He had never thought that the J Organisation's style of doing things was despicable and shameless. However, this time, he deeply realized that those who had been tricked by the J Organisation hated them.
However, he couldn't refute it. The other party was right.
He and Eve couldn't stay together forever. He could protect himself, but could Eve?
No matter how strong she was, she was still a woman. In terms of strength, she couldn't win against those monsters who had been strengthened.
"You are a smart person. Now that you have made a mistake and rebelled against me, if it were anyone else, they would have died long ago. However, you are still standing here talking to me. Phillips, don't you understand the meaning behind this? I love you like my own child. I don't want you to continue being pestered by a woman and become mediocre. "
"…"
"This is my last order. Send Eve back to Feng Dike and return to the J Organisation immediately."
"If you still don't give me an answer by the third day, I will mobilize all the forces in Country E to encircle and annihilate you."
The computer screen turned black again. Phillips had completely lost his composure.
He leaned against the table and slowly slid down. He couldn't stop laughing. As he laughed, he felt that his vision was starting to turn foggy. This was the first time he felt defeated.
However, His Lord was wrong. Love didn't make people numb.
When there was love, people would be tied down.
When there were too many worries, people would become weak.
His heart began to waver.
However, when Eve returned with injuries again, Phillips seemed to have decided on his answer.
"You're injured again!" Phillips saw the wound on Eve's palm and felt that his heart was being squeezed tightly by an invisible hand. The conversation just now echoed in his mind.
There will be a time when you two have to part.
When that time comes, Eve will …
Eve saw that Phillips's expression was too ugly and quickly shook her head. "No, no, this is an accident. I didn't encounter an ambush this time. It's …"
"It doesn't matter anymore!"
Phillips swayed as he made his way over to Eve and wrapped his arms around her. He hugged her tightly, and his entire body was trembling.
"Er …" Eve didn't know how to deal with this situation. However, there was nothing wrong with apologizing. "I'm sorry. I was too careless this time."
Phillips rested his chin on her shoulder. He lowered his eyes and his long eyelashes covered his dead eyes.
He said lightly, "It doesn't matter anymore."
He had enough of these days of being on tenterhooks. Even if the J Organisation didn't come looking for him this time, he couldn't help but lose control whenever he saw Eve injured.
If this continued, either Eve would break down or he would break down.
