"Not really."
Fox firmly refused.
Since the Loom of Fate was destroyed, the Assassin Brotherhood had no value in existing.
"What a pity."
Li Jiu shook his head regretfully.
This slogan was so cool that when it was read out, it directly added ten points to its coolness.
"I don't want to be an assassin anymore."
Fox looked up at Lee Jiu.”
Danger! (?д?;)
The anticipation in Fox's eyes made Li Jiu feel as if he was sitting on pins and needles. He smiled awkwardly."It's pretty good. I'll visit you when I have the chance.”
"Don't come looking for me in the future."
Huo Hu pushed Li Jiu away and slammed the door shut.
"That was close!"
Li Jiu heaved a sigh of relief. He did not care at all.
As a handsome man, he was already used to this kind of forced abdication scene. He just needed to coax her in two days.
Just as Li Jiu was about to have a drink or two to celebrate the destruction of the Assassin Brotherhood, his phone rang.
"Hello, who is it?"
A gentle female voice came from the phone."Hello, Mr. Lucius. This is New York Cornell Hospital.”
"Mathilda, the girl you sent over, wants to see you.”
"Do you have time to come over?”
"Mathilda?"
Hearing this familiar name, Li Jiu frowned and asked,"What happened?"
" Yes," the other side of the phone hesitated for a moment." The police came to investigate just now. It's said that Mathilda's relatives were killed, but the murderer hasn't been found.”
"Understood."
"I'll go over now."
Li Jiu was silent for a while before he hung up.
He didn't expect it to be Mathilda.
Li Jiu changed into a casual suit and was still a little surprised when he went out.
The situation that day was urgent. Although he felt that Mathilda's face was a little familiar, he didn't think too much about it.
After all, this was the real world.
Compared to the actors in the movie, the character's appearance and temperament were quite different.
For example, the real Fox was better than Angelina. Julie was younger and prettier.
With this surprised thought in mind, Li Jiu stepped on the accelerator and soon arrived at New York's Cornell Hospital.
"Mr. Lucius, please follow me.”
A nurse with a good figure and face smiled warmly and led the way while Li Jiu followed behind.
Kangai Hospital in New York was a private hospital with a good reputation. It adopted a membership system and had an expensive annual fee.
Correspondingly, the quality of service was also very good. Every nurse was young and beautiful.
Li Jiu liked this place very much. Every month, he would occasionally catch a cold and stay here for a few days.
"Mr. Lucius, we've arrived at Miss Mathilda's room.”
"Is there anything else I can do for you?”
The nurse bent over, and the skin in front of her was so white that it was dazzling.
"You're new."
"I don't think I've seen you before?"
Li Jiu's interest was piqued.
"Yes, Mr. Lucius."
"My name is Ruth. I just joined last week.”
The nurse stood up straight and straightened her back discreetly.
Li Jiu smiled and handed a business card to the nurse."Call me tonight."
“YES！”
Seeing Li Jiu push the door open and enter, the nurse excitedly gestured.
Inside the ward.
A young girl with a pale face and hesitant eyes was lying in a daze like a cute deer in the forest.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the girl turned her head and her eyes widened slightly.
"Hello, Mathilda."
"I'm sorry to hear that your family was killed.”
Li Jiu sat at the side and tried his best to be gentle.
Humans were all good-looking animals. Mathilda was very cute, and her panicked and helpless appearance at this moment made one's heart ache.
"Mr. Lucius."
"Thank you for saving me that day."
Mathilda looked at Lee Jiu seriously.
"I was partly responsible for your injury that day.”
Li Jiu shook his head.
" If I wasn't injured," Mathilda pursed her lips." I might have been killed at home."”
No, you will be picked up by a killer named Leon.
Li Jiu thought strangely, considering whether to tell Mathilda the identity of the murderer.
According to his recollection, Mathilda's father was an informant for the anti-drug police. Because he had pocketed a bag of drugs, his family was taken revenge.
The police officer was the captain of the Drug Enforcement Administration, Stanfield.
"Mr. Lucius, can you do me a favor?”
"I want to go home and take a look."
Mathilda pursed her lips and looked at Lee Jiu pleadingly.
"I'll ask the doctor."
Li Jiu hesitated.
......
An hour later.
Mathilda and Lee Jiu came out of a slightly dilapidated building.
"Everything will be fine."
Li Jiu patted Mathilda's head.
"I'm fine."
Mathilda sniffed and gripped a doll in her hand tightly.
"If you want to cry, cry."
Li Jiu gently patted the girl's head.
Mathilda buried her head in Li Jiu's arms and hugged his waist tightly.
"Mr. Lucius, I don't want to go back to the hospital.”
"Can you take me home?"
"I can help you buy things, wash clothes, and do many other things."
After a while, Mathilda raised her head from Li Jiu's arms, her voice muffled.
“... Sure."
"But I've been a little busy lately, so I might not have time to take care of you."”
"I'm very obedient."
"I won't cause you any trouble."
Mathilda hugged Lee Jiu's hand tightly.
......
In a villa on the Upper East Side.
Li Jiu sat on the sofa and shook his head.
He had never been a warm-hearted person.
However, Mathilda was too cute, so he could only follow her facial features.
"Mr. Lucius."
"Your phone is ringing."
A girl in a tank top and shorts ran over and handed the phone to Lee Jiu.
"Hello?"
Li Jiu took it casually.
"Mr. Lucius."
"I'm Ruth, a nurse from Connell Hospital in New York. Do you have time now?”
A charming female voice came from the phone.
Lee Jiu glanced at Mathilda, who was eavesdropping, and said expressionlessly,""You dialed the wrong number."
Li Jiu decisively hung up the phone and glared at the girl who seemed to be acting as if nothing had happened."Hurry up and go to sleep."
"Oh."
Mathilda ran upstairs quickly.
Li Jiu sat on the sofa and looked at Mathilda's back for a while. Then, he picked up his phone and called someone he knew.
"Hey, Duncan, help me catch a few people.”
