Chapter 374 Lovey-dovey
Joe shrieked. William warded off keenly with the breakaway of a gauzy dagger, which slightly penetrated his shoulder blade.
William groaned. He clasped Roe again after a light shake.
Joe reproached himself, "How do you feel, boss?"
"I'm all good." William remained calm.
How could he pretend that nothing happened? Thankfully it didn't completely get stuck into him. Or the situation would get worse.
Six-ears roared with laughter. It was a small achievement for him today.
Joe goggled at him murderously and kicked his thigh, "You dare to play dirty tricks on us!"
Within minutes, Six-ears got stripped naked. The secret switch for the dagger was found over his waist. There was also a broken blade on his foot and a medicine pouch in his ear stud.
"Damn. This guy is just like a human centipede. He is equipped with poisons all over his body!" Joe kicked Six-ears away and threw him to the minion.
Six-ears was equipped with such a wide range of protective devices, which was why he escaped for so many times.
William braved a cold sweat in the car. His eyes fell on Roe, the bloodlust in his eyes slowly receding, and only warmth was left.
Honestly, Roe looked exactly like him. In addition, William found a familiar but different look on Roe's childish face as well. He suddenly felt warmed at that moment.
William fished out his phone and made a call. It was answered right away.
"Are you okay, William? Where are you now?" The anxious voice from Vivian seemed to break through from the other side. William smiled contentedly.
He held up the phone and said in comforting tone, even his shoulder hurt fiercely, "I am fine. I will be back soon."
"That's good."
Vivian relaxed a little and panted. Then she asked anxiously, "What about Roe? How is he now? Do you bring him back?" Vivian flurried, with a taste of sour over her eyes.
William giggled, "Vivi."
"Uh?" Vivian held the phone firmly.
"You asked how I felt first." William cheekily reminded Vivian.
Vivian froze, with awkwardness and shame on her face.
After a while, she replied word by word, "Are you crazy, William?"
Why would he care about it at this time?
Vivian hung off. She didn't know if she got mad because of herself or William's ridiculous response.
Obviously she didn't mean anything. She was just thinking subconsciously that William would bring Roe back if he promised that.
If he was fine, then Roe must be safe as well. Why would William misrepresent this?
Humph, Roe was the dearest to her!
Vivian lost in reverie. She was in a pique at one moment, and bashful the next. John just went back with a thermos bottle poignantly upon seeing Vivian's reaction. He hesitated for a while and walked in with the bottle.
"Is Roe Okay, Vivi?" John went over and poured her a cup of boiled water.
Vivian nodded happily, "William will bring him back soon. It's good to know that Roe is doing fine!"
A blush of darkness swept over John's eyes implicitly and he smiled bitterly. Though he accompanied Vivian for a long time, she still couldn't get over from William. John guessed that Vivian didn't realize how gentle she was when speaking of him.
He lowered his eyes and tried to cover up his bitterness.
William put the phone down, and a glimmer of smile touched the corners of his mouth.
"How different when a man gets nourished by love! Your lovey-dovey is more enviable to me than others."
William said with a lazy voice, "How about asking James to send Six-ears over there?"
Joe's face turned green, "Please don't. I need him to stay with me. Same as you do with your family."
Joe finally got the chance to spend some time with James. It was already half a year since they met last time.
If James went on mission, it would take months for them to reunite again.
William didn't respond, and Joe kept quiet.
As they got off, Joe gallantly made arrangement for William.
Vivian had been waiting for a long time. She was tense before William and Roe got back. She saw Roe in William's arms at a first glance.
Roe completely fainted. He collapsed in William's arms with his pale face, which totally distressed Vivian.
"Roe..." Vivian burst into tears. She went up and tried to cradle Roe in her arms, but she was afraid that Roe might get hurt.
Roe seemed to be a fragile porcelain doll.
William was extremely tired from hanging on till now. When he found Vivian didn't pay any attention to him at all, he grumbled in a low voice and tried to place Roe in her arms. "Take him." William's cold voice echoed, as if he was getting cranky by holding Roe all the time.
Once Vivian got Roe, she found something went wrong.
"Is he having a fever, William?" Vivian questioned William open-eyed.
William didn't know how to explain.
""Yes he is."
William had a headache. Was that a complaint?
Hearing the three words, Vivian bit her lips to conceal her dissatisfaction. William went berserk inside and would kill someone right now if possible. Vivian didn't respond and rushed in with Roe.
Doctors and nurses were already there for Roe as soon as they arrived.
Since Joe greeted already, the dean was waiting as well. He faced towards William, "I appreciate your help to Roe, Mr. Lu. On behalf of our hospital..."
"Stop shitting around. Don't you see that William got hurt? Hurry up and arrange a doctor for him."
Joe bawled the dean out.
Only then did the dean notice that William was sweating with his whole body stiffened up.
He was frightened and asked someone to come immediately.
William turned to Joe, "Let's go to the police station first and focus on Six-ears. I don't want to see anything unexpected happen."000
