"Damn it!"
Davon became worried, and so did Kim.
"What?"
Phoenix didn't know what happened, then Kim said, "The people outside blew up the house. I didn't
think about that when I dug the secret passage. So once the house exploded, the secret passage
below would probably be blocked, which means we're trapped here."
There was no way out and no food. What’s worse, Davon was injured. If they couldn't get out, they
would die here. Moreover, Phoenix knew that as long as they went out now, there were many people
outside waiting for them with guns and nets.
‘What should they do?’
Davon's face was getting paler and Phoenix was very anxious.
"I'm going out! I don't believe that Leo dares to kill me in front of everyone! As long as he doesn't kill
me, I will have my way to get you out."
She was about to stand up when Davon stopped her.
"It's useless. If he really cares, I wouldn’t be injured."
He would not allow Phoenix to go out and die anyway.
Phoenix felt heartbroken while looking at Davon.
"We need to do something with your wound. Not here."
She meant that she had to give it a try anyway.
With Phoenix's words, Davon was very happy.
"Wait a moment. I’m fine. You can simply deal with my wound now. I'll teach you how."
Davon taught Phoenix to deal with the wound.
Phoenix did as he told.
Because of the collapse, they could hear the voices above clearly. So they talked in a low voice in case
bringing soldiers here.
They could hear the sounds of footsteps coming from above one after another. It seemed that there
were a lot of people here.
Phoenix did not believe that the soldiers went back without telling Leo that she was also here. But Leo
still sent people here, and even ruthlessly exploded this place. He never cared about her life. Although
she no longer had any hope for this man, Phoenix still felt heartbroken.
This meant that she had no home or family here.
Only the people who had the same experience could understand the feeling of not being loved by their
parents. They felt hollow inside even with money and power.
Davon hugged phoenix and whispered, "I’m tired. Let me lean on you for a while."
Phoenix knew that Davon had done it on purpose. Maybe he had noticed her sadness and tried to
divert her attention.
Besides Samuel, Davon was the only one who would treat her well unconditionally.
She was pretty lucky.
Phoenix smiled, hugged his shoulder, and whispered, "Darling."
It immediately stunned Davon. He paused for a few seconds, then he smiled and whispered, "Say it
again."
"Darling."
Although they had registered as a couple, it was too sudden and too unexpected for Phoenix to adapt
to the role of Davon’s wife. She especially had difficulty saying the word "darling". However, at this
moment, it was so easy for her to speak it out.
Davon heard it and laughed foolishly. He thought, "I can die for you, my love. Inez Freeman, stay with
me forever."
He stretched out his arms and tightly encircled Phoenix. He felt her temperature and smelled her hair.
He suddenly felt that as long as she was with him, it didn’t matter even if he would die here.
Kim felt that he was just a third wheel. If he had known about this, he wouldn't have come back. If he
was outside, he could at least try to save Davon, but now he was so awkward.
He tried his best to be neglected, but still felt a little awkward.
Phoenix did not think that much, because she was busy considering how to get out.
Davon looked pale. Although he insisted that he was fine, how could he be fine with so much blood?
Moreover, the bullet was still in his body. What if he had a fever later?
Phoenix frowned. She heard Davon whisper, "Phoenix, tell me a story."
"A story?"
Phoenix was a little surprised.
"You can’t?"
Davon raised his head and smiled. That moment, Phoenix felt that Davon's eyes were especially bright
and dazzling.
"No, I only know tongue twisters."
"That's fine. I just want to hear your voice."
Davon lowered her head and approached Phoenix again. He whispered, "Perhaps you can think about
it. Practice with me first. Then you can tell our children someday."
Phoenix froze.
So Davon didn’t know that she couldn’t have a baby?
Speaking of her body, Phoenix suddenly felt a little sad.
She didn't regret saving Davon that year, but now, she felt a little guilty about him.
She remembered Davon's kindness and love.
They had been together for more than two months, all day and all night. Back then, she was certain
that she would not get pregnant, and also she hadn't thought about spending her whole life with Davon.
She admitted that she was depraved back then. Only because Samuel left without saying goodbye, she
felt upset and couldn’t vent her anger. Davon, the man who liked her so much, happened to show up,
so she seized the opportunity.
She thought of playing with another man to forget Samuel, even for a short period of time.
During those two months, she did forget Samuel. She was very happy with Davon. Davon spoiled her
and would never refuse her anything. However, she only slept with him and did not fall in love with him.
She even forgot Davon afterwards.
Sure she was a bitch.
However, Davon had not only remembered her but also been secretly taking care of her for so many
years. How could she not be touched?
It was said that a woman could be as carefree as a man. But in fact, a woman can be touched and fall
in love with a man easily.
Phoenix had been longing for love for too long, but she didn't expect that there was a man who had
secretly loved her for so many years. Did she really have no feelings for Davon?
No!
She knew that if she did not love him, she would not give herself to him, even if just for fun.
So how could Davon not know about her infertility? He was there when this happened.
Phoenix was grieved and whispered, "We won't have children. Davon, you know that."
"What are you talking about? Don't worry. We will. Trust me."
Davon held Phoenix's hand firmly.
At this moment, Phoenix seemed to see some hope.
Davon was good at medical skills, so she could trust him, right?
After so many years, Phoenix had stopped thinking about having children. She thought that she
wouldn’t feel it anymore. But at this moment, she was filled with excitement, happiness, and even
expectation.
"Alright, I believe in you."
"Yes, so work hard on stories."
Davon smiled faintly and lowered his head again.
He felt very dizzy, and couldn’t see things clearly. He knew that it was due to excessive blood loss and
that they were unable to get out for a while. Perhaps he would have a high fever.
He didn't know what to do to reduce Phoenix's worries and fears.
Davon didn't want to worry Phoenix, so telling a story was the most feasible method he could think of.
Phoenix lowered her head and pondered what to say.
After thinking about it for a long time, she still got nothing.
Her childhood was not happy, and the story she had heard most was the only tongue twister her
mother told her. She had never read fairy tales and storybooks just to avoid missing her mother in
those years. So now Davon's request was a little difficult for her.
However, since Davon wanted to hear it, she had to do it. After thinking for a while, she started, "Let
me tell you a story from the military camp?"
"Alright. I like to hear whatever story you tell."
Davon's voice was exceptionally gentle.
Kim moved away again.
He didn’t want to disturb them.
He hoped to find a place to hide in.
The two of them were showing their affection, without caring about his feelings at all. They even treated
him like an invisible person, so he breathed carefully for fear of disturbing them.
Kim knew what Davon had done for Phoenix over the years. He thought that Phoenix was not good for
Davon, but seeing Davon's satisfaction and gentleness at this moment, Kim realized that he was
wrong.
Phoenix was the light in Davon's life. Because of her, Davon was full of energy.
He looked at Phoenix again and discovered that there was a light in her eyes, and this light was Davon.
He suddenly felt relieved.
Kim closed his eyes and rested. He needed to recover his strength to get out in a while.
Phoenix felt that Davon loosened the hand that was hugging her waist and held her fingers to play with.
She was slightly stunned and flushed, and the story in her mind was interrupted again. But she didn't
stop him.
Phoenix took a deep breath and stopped panicking.
During those years when they were supporting peacekeeping, there were many interesting things.
Phoenix thought that she would forget those distant memories, but now she remembered them as if
they had happened yesterday.
She gave him a faint smile.
"Let me tell you a story about Joe."
Joe had worked for Phoenix. He was simple and honest, but also very funny.
"Alright."
Davon did not know him at all, but he liked to hear whatever Phoenix said.
Davon felt very dizzy. Actually, it was a little hard for him to listen to Phoenix. Her voice seemed far
away from here. Therefore, Davon clasped Phoenix's hand to make sure that she was still by his side.
"What's wrong? Does the wound hurt?"
Phoenix asked anxiously.
"No, I just feel that your hands are soft."
Davon said in a low voice.
Phoenix suddenly felt a little shy.
"Davon, stop joking. I'll forget about the story."
"Alright."
Seeing Phoenix's unconscious shyness, Davon chuckled, and then he leaned his head in her arms.
Phoenix’s voice was gentle with relief and warmth. Davon finally couldn’t hold on anymore and passed
out. Unfortunately, Phoenix did not notice that.
She gave him a faint smile.
“Let me tell you a story about Joe."
Joe had worked for Phoenix. He was simple and honest, but also very funny.
