~ One Day Before The Mission ~
The ambulance arrived at Dr. Clara’s private clinic. They transferred Lu to his room immediately.
Phantom and others were already there, waiting for them. James and Erick also parked their cars before following Elle as she accompanied Dr. Argus and Brother Lu.
Brother Lu was still being moved through the stretcher. Phantom and Dr. Clara approached them right away.
“Lu, you’re back!” Phantom held his arm as he watched Lu.
“Yes, Master. I’m back. I missed you and my brothers,” Lu said with a weak voice.
“I’m so glad. You’re a brave man, son. I’m proud of you.” Phantom mumbled, feeling emotional.
“Master” Lu had no words to describe what he was feeling right now. He could only smile because of joy and happiness.
His other brothers also came running to greet him. They hugged him right away.
“Lu!”
“Brother Lu!”
“We missed you!”
“We are glad to see you again!”
“You scared us. We thought you left us already.”
“Brother, don’t go missing once again.”
“You broke our hearts!”
“Hey, easy, our brother Lu is not yet 100 percent recovered. Don’t squeeze him too much. Give him space!”
The remaining 9 henchmen of Phantom were now complete and reunited once again.
Charles, James, and Erick were watching this touching reunion on the sideline.
Meanwhile, Elle introduced Dr. Clara to Dr. Argus. She was not surprised to see Elle since Phantom had already told Dr. Clara that Elle was alive. He also told her everything that happened to her and Lu in the past two years.
“It’s my pleasure to meet you. Dr. Clara. Ali had mentioned you to me several times. She praised your skills as a doctor with a kind heart.”
Dr. Clara let out a soft chuckle before responding to Dr. Argus.
“The pleasure is mine as well, Dr. Argus. I heard how you took care of these young ones in the States. We are really grateful for your help. Thank you for not giving up on them.” Dr. Clara said, feeling grateful to Dr. Argus.
“Hmm. I’m so happy because I have two miracle patients. They survived not only because of the medication we provided to them but because of their strong will-power.” Dr. Argus commended both Elle and brother Lu.
Elle just smiled after hearing that.
“Oh, let’s go inside now and bring Lu to his private room. We arranged his room according to your suggestion,” Dr. Clara said, informing Dr. Argus.
“Thank you, Dr. I really appreciate it.”
Soon, they brought Lu into his private room. Dr. Clara and Elle together with James and Erick entertained Dr. Argus and his medical team.
James had also prepared their accommodation here in City Z. After seeing that everything went well, Erick bade his goodbye to them as he needed to report at XXX Crime Investigation Headquarters today.
“Wifey, don’t get tired and exhaust yourself too much. Call me if you need anything. I will come running to you right away.”
After saying that, he leaned over to kiss her on the forehead and whispered something.
“Take good care of yourself and our baby.”
Elle nodded and gave him a reassuring smile. “Yes hubby, I will protect myself and our baby.” Elle also gave him a peck on his lips before Erick left.
After Erick left, Elle asked James to talk with her privately, leaving Phantom, Dr. Clara, and Dr. Argus in the office.
James and Elle went outside and chose a spot where there were no other people aside from the two of them.
“James, first of all, I want to say thank you for bringing Lu back to us. You helped us a lot.”
James gave her a faint smile and said, “No need to mention it. You are my friend, remember?”
Elle giggled after hearing that. “I know. But still, I want to thank you.”
“Hey, I heard that you are planning to join the mission tomorrow night. Can you reconsider your decision? It’s dangerous for your safety. You should let Black Shadow and others do it.” Elle brought up the topic of the mission.
James fell silent after hearing that. He didn’t expect that Elle would ask him that. He wanted to come and do this mission.
“Why not? Even you, yourself, are doing a dangerous mission. Why am I the only one not allowed to do this?”
Elle didn’t know whether to cry or laugh because of his last remarks.
“James, I’m used to doing dangerous missions since I was young. I was trained for this, unlike you. You’re a leader of a big organization, not an ordinary member. If something bad happens to you, there will be consequences. Are you letting the enemy win by putting yourself in danger?” Elle tried her best to explain and convince him.
“I know that. I understand. But it’s just that I feel useless if I will just stay in the headquarters. Besides, even the leader of the Dark Knight Organization will make his appearance during the negotiation. I want to see the face of the person who called the hit for my father’s head.”
James was so determined to do it. Elle could only sigh deeply.
“I want to protect you. I want to keep you safe. But I will not be able to join the mission. I will not be at ease knowing that you are there, putting yourself in danger.”
James was taken aback when he heard that.
“What do you mean? Are you not joining the mission this time?” James asked her inquisitively.
“Yes, I’m not. I want to but I can’t. It’s dangerous and I have someone precious to protect.”
After saying that, Elle flashed her gentle smile at James.
“James, you’re going to be an Uncle now with my Baby. I’m pregnant. That’s why I can’t do this mission.”
James was dumbstruck by that piece of good news. He was utterly astounded. He just stood there as he lost his ability to speak.
Elle couldn’t help letting out a soft giggle. Seeing the surprised expression of her friends after knowing that she was pregnant was really priceless.
Then Elle looked down, rubbing her flat stomach. “Baby, please help Mom. Let’s convince your Uncle James to stay and not do a dangerous mission.”
James: “…”
Elle gazed up to meet his eyes once again. With her pleading look, Elle asked James once again.
“Please James, can you just stay put and let others do this mission. Please”
James just sighed helplessly. He didn’t have the heart to refuse her especially if she was giving him this kind of look.
“Alright. I will not do it anymore. I’ll stay in the headquarters.”
“Yes did you hear it, Baby? You are Mom’s lucky charm. Your Uncle James finally agreed on Mom’s request.” Elle mumbled, talking to Little Lee once again.
James couldn’t help but look at her tenderly. He was happy for her. Elle would become a very sweet and loving mother to her child, contrary to her devilish reputation.
Who would have thought that the vicious and ruthless devilish assassin, Catseye would have this kind, sweet and gentle side too?
And now, she’s becoming a mother, a very loving mother, who would do her best to protect her family.
