Chapter 307 Reunion
Chapter 307 Reunion
Johny's face lighted up as he saw Ceres awake.
"You're conscious, Ceres! Does it still hurt?"
Ceres stared at Johny blankly.
There was a voice in her head telling her that the man in front of her was the enemy who had killed her
father.
Under the quilt, Ceres clenched into fists. She wondered why this man was able to act as if nothing had
happened after he killed her father.
Johny noticed that Ceres was silent. "What's the matter? Are you not feeling well?" asked he.
Ceres seemed to deflate, unclenching her fists.
"I have a headache."
"Maybe it was because the sound was too loud when the explosion happened. I'll ask the doctor to
check on you later."
Johny sat on the bed and held Ceres in his arms. "Thank goodness, you're fine."
Nestling in Johny's arms, Ceres felt warm and safe, with an unprecedented sense of intimacy.
It confused her.
'Should I ask Johny about it? But if he did kill my father, how could he tell me the truth?'
Ceres bit her lips. In the end, she said nothing.
In another ward, Caleb, who was slightly injured, had his wound dressed. The doctor asked him to stay
in the hospital for two days to observe. After all, Caleb was old and not in good health.
Roy talked and talked. Finally, Caleb agreed to stay in the hospital for two days.
At that time, a man came in. Roy became alert. 'The bodyguards are outside. Why is this man...'
"Roy, relax. Didn't you ask me who saved us? Here he is." Caleb smiled as he looked at the person
who came in.
It was Matt, who was also known as Purple Phoenix. "How are you going, Mr. Caleb?" Matt extended
his greetings to the old man.
"It's all thanks to you today. Otherwise, I would have died," said Caleb sincerely.
"It's not a big deal, Mr. Caleb. Glad to be of help."
Caleb introduced Matt to Roy, saying, "Roy, this is the famous Purple Phoenix."
Roy had heard of him. Purple Phoenix was a legend. Everyone heard of the name.
However, Roy had always thought that it was just a story. Besides, he had not heard of the deeds of
Purple Phoenix for many years.
"Thank you for saving my life."
Roy never dreamed that he could see Purple Phoenix in person.
'No wonder he was able to kill the opponent with a single gun. Other than Purple Phoenix, there is
probably no one else in this world who could do it.'
What surprised Roy, even more, was that Caleb and Matt seemed to be very familiar with each other.
They were very relaxed while chatting as if they had known each other for decades. Roy did not know
Caleb knew such a big character.
"Well, Mr. Caleb, I have paid you back." Matt changed the topic.
"I can't believe you remembered that." Caleb waved his hand.
"Of course, I remembered. Back then, you saved my life. Today, I also saved your life. We are even."
Matt had a relaxed smile on his face. He disliked owing others favors.
"I have been by your side for the past few years to protect you in secret. You are so popular. You have
a lot of friends and no enemies. I thought I may not have the chance to return your favor. I don't know
who did this. But finally, I have the chance to pay you back. Now, I can leave."
Caleb looked at Matt in shock. Back then, Caleb was incidentally involved in Matt's crisis and saved his
life. Matt said he owed Caleb a lot and would repay him.
Caleb did not take it to heart. He did not expect that Matt had been secretly protecting him all the time,
just for the opportunity to pay him back.
"You don't have to do it. Back then, I..."
Caleb did not expect that a person could do so much just for a promise.
Matt waved his hand and said, "Never mind. I have repaid your favor. If you encounter any danger in
the future, I may be able to save you."
"Purple Phoenix, you carried out no missions in the past few years. You may get lonely in the world
without any company. Why don't you stay with me? I really need someone like you."
Caleb said humbly, "I know it is not easy to invite a great master like you. You can name any conditions
as long as you are willing to stay!"
Matt looked at Caleb, who was eager to win his support, and laughed.
"Mr. Caleb, you are a little greedy."
"You are a great martial artist. I would regret it if I didn't invite you," Caleb smiled.
"People like us are destined to be lonely and helpless for the rest of our lives. We have killed so many
people, so it is not suitable for us to stay in one place. Farewell, Mr. Caleb."
Matt had completed his mission. It was time to leave Caleb. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
"Wait! You seem to be in a hurry to leave. Did something happen? Is there anything I can help you
with?"
Matt stopped and turned around. He didn't want to bother others, but this thing was quite special.
"I have a niece. I wanted to visit her, but I found that she was missing. I am going to look for her now."
Matt did not hide anything, saying, "She is the only daughter of my best friend. Her father entrusted her
to me before he died. Now that she is missing, I have to find her immediately."
"It's easy. Give me her information and I will use my connections to help you find her."
Matt hesitated for a moment and replied, "I didn't bring her information with me. I'll sort it out and send
it to you later."
Roy immediately handed his business card to Matt, "Here's my contact information. You can send it to
me."
Matt stuffed the business card into his pocket and said, "Thank you."
"It's not a big deal. You saved my life," said Caleb.
Matt bowed and left the ward.
Caleb sighed, 'If only I could keep Purple Phoenix here.'
Johny had been guarding Ceres's bedside. However, for some reason, Ceres thought that there wasn't
much to talk about between her and Johny.
Seeing Ceres was avoiding him, Johny didn't ask her about the red spots on her face.
Finally, Ceres couldn't hold it in anymore. She asked, "Haven't you noticed that I have changed?"
"You've lost weight." Johny frowned and looked at Ceres.
"What else?"
"You're tanned."
"What else?"
"No more."
Ceres pointed at the red spot on her face and said, "Didn't you see that?"
