My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122 

Philix bowed deeply toward the two rows of corpses. “Rest assured, brave heroes. You protected me for a moment; I’ll defend the Northern Territory for a lifetime!” 

Stellar, Henderson, and the inspectors all raised their hands in salute. 

Grant, Joseph, Zakariah, and Skadi also paid their respects with a bow. 

In the morning, Jade brought a group of high-ranking political figures from Jonford. They solemnly bent over and bowed, paying their respects to these heroic spirits who had died protecting the warden. 

Cillian, Lloyd, and Nash, however, offered their respects with a hand on their hearts. 

In fact, these three were very highly regarded in both the martial arts world and the priest community. They did not even need to pay their respects. 

However, these people died protecting the warden. 

They were worth honoring. 

Half an hour later, under the guidance of an ambulance, a hearse from the funeral home slowly drove into the manor. 

Hospital staff performed the final checks on the deceased, confirming their deaths before the funeral home workers dared to put the bodies into body bags. 

After dealing with the bodies, Nash prescribed Philix some medication. 

“Philix… take this medicine according to the prescription and your body should be completely recovered within a month! Eat a balanced diet in the meantime!” 

Due to being tormented by the poison that caused deossification for a long time, Philix was malnourished. 

Despite being nearly 1.8 meters tall, he probably weighed less than 100 pounds. 

Philix was not overly polite with Nash and handed the prescription to Stella. “Nash, I won’t say more than necessary. If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to look for me…” 

Nash responded with a big grin, “Certainly!” 

After saying goodbye to Philix, Nash went back to Baroque. 

Philix, having been away from the Northern Territory for too long, was planning to return immediately. 

Two hours later, on a private jet, Philix looked out the window at the clouds while deep in thought. 

Stellar brought a cup of tea and placed it in front of Philix. 

Sitting across from him, Stellar asked with a smile, “Warden, you seem to have something on your mind?” 

Philix took a sip from the teacup and said, “I felt a very special air coming from Nash!” 

Stellar was taken aback and said, “Perhaps it’s because Nash risked his life to protect you twice, so you feel he can be a true 

friend in life?” 

Philix shook his head. “When I first met the Smiling Grim Reaper, I already sensed that he should be a man in his 20s. While others may fear the Smiling Grim Reaper, I felt a sense of familiarity with him!” 

When Nash appeared before him as the Smiling Grim Reaper, only his eyes were visible. 

Anyone else would not have been able to guess what kind of person the Smiling Grim Reaper was. 

Yet Philix felt as though he had insight into everything just by looking into Nash’s eyes. 

Stellar jokingly said, “He wouldn’t happen to be a member of your family, would he? Should we have the Skye family look it up?” 

Philix frowned slightly, then he said seriously, “Let’s not think about that now. When I return to the Northern Territory this time, let’s keep my recovery a secret…”
