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.
