One after the other, the two went to a secluded corner of the back door of the villa.
Nineteen: "Mr. Freeman, you're so careful. What are you going to say?"
"You don't have to pretend in front of me. I know you have a purpose for following Lyra around."
Nineteen's face instantly became incomparably sinister.
"Since you've noticed, I'm sorry!"
He quietly reached his hand back to his waist, took out a small knife, and quickly stabbed Melvin in the throat.
Melvin took half a step back keenly.
Within just three moves, he subdued Nineteen.
Nineteen's hands were clamped behind his back with such force that Nineteen felt her arms were dislocating and her face was wan with pain.
"You can kill me. I can't finish the mission given over there anyway. I will die sooner or later."
Melvin laughed lightly and let go of him, "Why should I kill you? I just wanted to talk to you. I'm not interested in you."
Nineteen can't figure it out.
"Don't you love Miss Carroll very much? I'm the one sent over to harm her, so why don't you do something about it since you've known me?"
Melvin's dark eyes stared at him soberly, "You like her, don't you?"
Nineteen instantly blushed.
"No, no ... how could I!"
Melvin had always been a good judge of men.
Since realizing that he was in love with Lyra, he found that he had gained an additional skill of being able to tell from the way a man looked at Lyra if the other man was thinking about Lyra.
"You just like her. Otherwise you wouldn't hide for so long without doing anything to her. You don't have to hide. You tell me the plan over there. Maybe I have a way to help you solve it."
Nineteen stared at him and was suddenly attracted in by his aura.
He knew that Melvin was not a simple man, and it seemed that now there was no other way out for him than to tell Melvin and work out a solution.
He could only choose to trust Melvin once.
"Three days later in the evening, they want me to lure Miss Carroll to the abandoned warehouse ... it's outside the city in the eastern suburbs of the forest. This time they set up a lot of ambushes. The man in black Miss Carroll has been checking will also appear. If Miss really goes there, she will be fraught with grim possibilities."
He sighed and continued, "Miss is the only one who treats me sincerely. I really can't bear to harm her, but I have to die if she doesn't die. They are watching me closely. I can't get away. I don't know what can you do?"
Melvin pondered for a moment. His dark eyes were calm and steady.
He continued, "Tell that you will arrange it. I will keep this matter a secret for you at Lyra's place. And you don't have to tell her about it."
"Huh?"
Nineteen was confused, "Then in three days ..."
Melvin's dark eyes looked solemn, "I'll go."
...
In the afternoon, Melvin didn't go out.
He leaned the entire villa.
It was almost time for Lyra to leave work. He went to the kitchen and started preparing dinner.
This was the last few days to stay by her side. He wanted to prepare dishes for her every day.
When he left, even if she won't miss him, her stomach should remember him, right?
He thought and smiled unconsciously.
The sound of receiving a text message suddenly rang.
At first glance, it was from Chad, and the content had only one exclamation point.
Melvin's smile faded and turned solemn.
This was the code word for something very urgent.
He looked at his watch. There were still forty minutes before Lyra got off work, so he quietly drove to the outskirts where Anthony was being held.
Chad was standing right by the highway pacing back and forth, waiting specifically for him.
Seeing Melvin's car coming, Chad anxiously ran closer and got into the passenger seat.
Leaning close to his ear, Chad said in a very low voice, "Boss, someone in Suham ... is here!"
Melvin's brows furrowed.
