Anya was furious on the phone. She couldn't believe Phil should be so arrogant and imperious, as he not only admitted that he had asked someone to thump Tristin, but also said he would kill Tristin next time.
After taking several deep breaths, she managed to keep her tone as calm as possible, "let me be the one. Don't hurt the innocent."
Anya understood that it was impossible for Phil not to hate her since it didn't work out between them. If he chose to continue tormenting her, it didn't matter. But what the hell of him to be angry with Tristin?
Back then, if Phil had been so aggressive with her, she would have already lost her temper. But now, she knew she could no longer have a tantrum with him, and didn't want to be involved with him anymore.
As her words finished, Phil smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Anya, I also want to say this to you."
Anya didn't understand his meaning, only to hear him saying in a tired and hoarse voice, "If you hold any grudge against me, come at me, and don't hurt yourself."
Anya's heart was greatly hit by his words; she didn't know the kind of feeling she had; a mixture of sadness and sorrow, and also resentment and anger. She simply hung up the phone in a panic.
For her now, Phil's love put her in hell.
"You're really fucking crazy!" Ezra scolded unceremoniously.
He really hated to see Phil being such crazy. One second he was the demon; the next, he was in deep love.
Phil ignored Ezra's curse towards him. He slung the phone aside and lay down on the recliner again. With a headache, it seemed he really needed a good sleep.
He just got up after lying down for a while, "Find a room for me to sleep."
Ezra gritted his teeth, got up, and led him into a guest room on the second floor.
After coming back, Ezra said to Julian, Emelia, and Maisie, "He can't keep on going like this for long."
Emelia was quite penetrating, "He actually neither wants to give up, nor wants Anya to do anything stupid again. So it is painful for him to give up, which is why he behaved so capriciously."
Perhaps because she was in an occupation like writing romance stories, Emelia's analysis of feelings was subtler. Her analysis of Phil was accurate. Julian naturally agreed with his madam's words.
Maisie also said, "The separation of them now is indeed the only solution. You guys should persuade him more so that he can calm down earlier and stop hurting Anya moodily."
"If Lorie's condition takes a favorable turn, perhaps there can still be some hope for the future between them."
This was the focus of Maisie's analysis.
Ezra and the rest nodded in agreement, as Lorie's unconsciousness was the deepest pain in Anya 's heart.
After knowing that her father had a family with his mistress, who even attempted to transfer all the company's assets, Anya only had one close relative left, Lorie.
However, Lorie had a car accident later, which made Anya 's world collapse. Had she not wanted to take revenge on her father and the mistress' family, she would not have survived then.
From Phil's daily chats with them, they knew that every time after Anya visited Lorie in the hospital, she was in a terrible mood. Therefore, Phil always tried different ways to please her.
Now, Anya learned that Phil was the ringleader of her mother's car accident; it was apparent how much she hated him. If Lorie's condition could improve, her hatred towards Phil might be dissipated.
Julian sighed, "Arthur has been trying to find the best doctor over the years. But doctors can only say that Lorie has the urge to survive, but she just can't awaken from her coma. If something could stimulate her a little, a miracle might happen."
