Chapter 223 “Has she replied?”
Daniel popped his head closer toward Philip. When Jack on the sofa heard what they said, he opened his eyes a little. “She…”
Philip had a complicated expression. He looked at Jack with hesitation. “What did she say? Let me have a look!” Daniel snatched the phone over.
Then, his eyes widened. He said in anger, “Bloody hell! She left us on read?! How dare she disrespect Jack!”
Jack shut his eyes in disappointment. That weak glowing ember of hope in his heart has been snuffed out completely.
It looked like that was what she chose…
At that moment, Anna’s voice came from the door. “What? You guys are all here?”
Daniel smiled when he saw her. “My, Anna. You’re here just in time. I can now go and have fun!
Anna was their collegemate. Later, like Sean, she became Jack’s right-hand man, so naturally, Anna could enter and leave their club as she wanted.
“I’m here for some target practice. I wasn’t aware that you’d be here,” Anna explained her presence while looking at Jack, who had passed out on the sofa.
“What happened to Jack?” “Oh, he accidentally drank my medicinal wine and passed out.” Daniel snickered and even boldly patted Jack’s shoulder. He would never have done that usually. Sure enough, Jack did not move at all, as if he was unconscious.
Anna raised her eyebrows in surprise and said, “I thought Jack could hold his alcohol well!”
“That’s for ordinary wine! My bottle of medicinal wine could put an elephant to sleep!” Daniel picked the bottle of wine up and showed it off. Philip shook his head helplessly. “By the way, Anna. We’re all occupied. Can you stay back and care for Jack for a while?”
When Anna heard what Daniel said, a hint of delight immediately flashed across her eyes, but she soon quickly pretended to be serious and said, “I don’t think it’s appropriate. Should we call Naomi?”
“Don’t mention her! She doesn’t even care about Jack! She read our messages without replying,” Daniel scolded. “Have they fought?”
Anna might look worried, but she secretly laughed. What great timing.
“Let me tell you. The two of them…”
Daniel wanted to continue, but Philip interrupted him in time. “Enough. Let’s take Jack to the room first.”
Daniel and Philip carried Jack and placed him on the bed. Anna followed behind them, looking at Jack intensely. “Anna, Jack is hurt. You have to be careful when you take care-Ouch! Philip! You stepped on my foot!” Daniel had not finished his sentence when he clutched his foot and hopped around, but Anna still caught the meaning of his sentence. “Hurt? Why is he hurt?” “It’s nothing!” Philip glared at Daniel. Anna was just Jack’s colleague. She did not know about the organization or Jack’s identity.
Daniel knew he had misspoken, so he immediately said, “I’m saying that his old condition has flared up. Just take care of him from afar. Don’t go close to him just in case he kicks you out.” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“Yes. Don’t touch him.”
Daniel looked at Anna thoughtfully and repeated it. “If anything happens, just call us.” “Okay, I got it.” “Then, we’ll make a move!” Daniel giggled and pulled Philip out before saying goodbye to Anna. “Have fun.” Anna stood by the door and slowly shut it.
