Avenger's coming back novel Chapter 122

Considering the wound on his back, she patted him on the shoulder and said, "As long as you are fine, I will support you."

"I won't let you down." There was a determined look in Eric's eyes when he said this. After that, he let go of her and said, "Mom, I have something else to do. I'll go out with girl."

"Okay, go ahead." Angela nodded and then turned to look at Lily. She wanted to ask her to take care of Eric because he was injured after all, but when she saw her hands with bandages, she sighed slightly. "You both have wounds all. Be careful when going out."

"I know, mom. I will take care of girl and myself." Eric breathed a sigh of relief and said in a relaxed tone.

On hearing this, Lily felt warm in her heart. She smiled and said, "Aunt, I will take good care of Eric."

"Yes." Angela nodded and her attitude toward Lily was much better.

Holding Lily's hand, they arrived at the front yard of the house. Eric frowned unconsciously. He drove Ellison's car back directly as he came back in a hurry yesterday. The license plate number of this car was special. He hoped that it hadn't been noticed by anyone.

Thinking of this, Eric sneered all of a sudden. In Gu family, those people were vanity, no one was heartless. Maybe they have noticed it, but it doesn't matter. Since he didn't want to be silent, so it didn't matter.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Eric was somewhat dull, Lily could not help asking.

"Nothing." After coming to himself, Eric replied. Then he opened the door of the passenger seat and said, "Get in the car. Let's go to Ellison first."

After they got into the car, Lily asked in confusion, "What's up?"

"You will know when we get there." Eric didn't say and buckled her seat belt. Then he closed the door and went to the other side of the car to sit on the driver's seat.

Then, he started the car and drove out.

After they got on the main road, Eric controlled the steering wheel with one hand and took out his phone with the other. He dialed a number directly. The phone was connected in no time.

"I will arrive at your home in half an hour. I want the results." Without waiting for the response from the other end of the line, he hung up the phone with a somewhat gloomy face.

Lily couldn't help but turn to look at him when she heard the attitude in his voice. But what attracted her attention was not his face, but his mobile phone that he put in the car.

"Did you change your phone?" She asked.

"No, I didn't." Eric turned his head and took a look at her, an unnatural look flashed across his face. "This mobile phone is very special and rarely used. The regular mobile phone was confiscated by grandpa yesterday."

Special? Hearing that, Lily frowned unconsciously. Suddenly, she couldn't see through him. He seemed to have hidden too many secrets from her.

Seeing her in such a state, Eric continued to explain, "My elder brother gave this cell phone to me. It can be used to contact the Sun family, but… I seldom contact them. There's a special circumstance this time, so I used it."

Lily was in a conundrum, but she got the point. It seemed that the Angela belonged to the Sun family. But why should he use another phone to contact the Sun family? It was supposed to be under wraps.

"Is there my number in this cell phone?" Lily asked suddenly.

Hearing this, Eric unconsciously touched his nose, "No."

"No wonder you didn't call me yesterday, but called brother Ellison." Said Lily disappointedly.

"You think too much." Eric freed one hand to hold Lily's hand on her knees. "I didn't call you because I knew you. I didn't want you to worry about me. It's not because I didn't save your number in my phone. I always keep your number in my mind."

"Really?"

"Really." Then, Eric picked up a string of numbers and said, "one, five, nine, zero, two and three..."

"Well, I believe you." Lily smiled and held his hand back.

In fact, she didn't really mind that he didn't save her number in his so-called special mobile phone. She just thought that they should face difficulties together, just like when he accompanied her to see Joe at the beginning, but he got the punishment from the Gu family alone. She was moved, and felt that he was a little silly.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the place where Ellison lived.

After getting off the car, Eric held Lily's hand and walked straight into the gate of Ellison's house. When they arrived at the hall, they saw a picture of a handsome man when he went out of the bathtub. Drops of water were still hanging at the end of Ellison's hair. His bathrobe's chest was still open, and some parts of his body were exposed. Obviously, he had just taken a shower and came out of the bathtub.

"Did you just get up and take a shower?" Looking at him, Eric scowled.

"Can't I?" Ellison raised his eyebrows and asked. Then he bent down to take a sip of milk on the tea table.

At the moment he bent down, Lily immediately looked away and her face unconsciously flushed. Ellison was so casual. Didn't he see a little girl? The muscles on his lower abdomen were seen by her.

He was in good shape.

Noticing the strange look on Lily's face, Eric covered her eyes with his hand and warned, "Don't look at him!"

Then he turned to Ellison. "Put your clothes on. Don't you see that she is here?"

Ellison didn't take it seriously. He put the milk back on the table, and then sat down on the sofa. He looked at Lily casually and asked, "What do you think? My body is better than Eric's, isn't it?"

Lily's ears turned red. Although she was a mature woman, she was at least a relatively conservative woman. Being asked like that, she was too shy.

"Ellison!" Eric called out his name out of anger and pulled Lily into his arms. He pressed her head against his chest so that she could no longer see him. His tone towards Ellison was very harsh. "I'm here to ask for the evidence, not to see if you are bored."

Ellison smiled, tugged the neckline of his bathrobe, pointed at the sofa and said in a decent tone, "Have a seat."

Only then did Eric release Lily and take her to sit on the sofa.

Slap.

Ellison directly threw a piece of paper bag in front of Eric and said, "Have a look for yourself. This is what I asked people to find out."

After saying that, he picked up the milk and began to drink it.

Eric glanced at him and then took the paper bag open. He took out all the material in the bag, most of which were photos, a pile of half thick paper material and a disk.

He wasn't curious about these photos. They were all published in the newspaper, so there was nothing interesting. He directly opened the paper documents. And the first page was the information of a familiar person.

When he saw the information of that person, Eric's face fell. Lily was sitting next to him and her attention was also drawn on the document in his hand. When she saw the person on the document, she was too angry to say a word.

Claire! It was Claire again!

"Huh." Eric sneered, "I thought someone did it, but I didn't expect it was her."

"You should be blamed for your carelessness." Ellison glanced at him. "Anyway, if you do it in that kind of place, you will be easily caught. Fortunately, they don't do it too bad. Instead, you were just on the front page of entertainment newspapers."

"Her target is me." Lily said coldly. "Claire is very jealous. She is simple minded. If she had a complicated thought, she would have gone through more than just being reported on the newspaper."

Eric quite agreed with her. He kept turning the pages. He looked up at Ellison and said, "You have investigated the life stories of the mother, her son and her daughter?"

"Yes, I did." After saying that, Ellison looked at Lily and laughed. "Little girl, you..."

Before he finished his words, he noticed the murderous eyesight from Eric and had to stop talking. Thinking of what he had said before, he immediately changed his mind and said, "I know. I shouldn't have called her with the word 'little girl'. It's enough for you."

After taking a complaint look at him, Ellison continued to say to Lily, "Lily, fortunately, you didn't live with them. Otherwise, you might died without knowing why."

Lily laughed. How could she not know how she died? She remembered everything that happened in her previous life clearly!

"I know." She said, "Among the three of them, in fact, Eden is not bad. He even saved me. But the real bad guys are Lucia and Claire."

Ellison did not answer or disagree with her words. He did not know much about the Qiao family. The reason why he investigated them was that he had discovered too many notorious things of Lucia and what Claire had done this time, so he had decided to investigate them thoroughly.

Seeing that they did not speak, Angus continued, "In fact, I was also curious at the beginning. Few reporters were allowed to enter the party held by Angus. Even if there were reporters in the party, they paid all their attention on him, how could it be on me and Eric? I did not expect that it was Claire who created the trouble and let me and Eric to be reported on the second section. It's not enough for her and even make us the headline today."

Hearing that, Ellison's eyes flashed unnaturally, but no one noticed that.

Because Eric focused all his attention on the pile of documents in his hand, and Lily didn't look at him either.
