Chapter 490
Soon, Hanson pointed at Melanie and said, "Put her with those guys."
"Yes, sir."
Melanie was then shoved toward the crowd of mercenaries, her face turning pale.
"Before putting them near the fire, be sure to give them a nice bath. Strip them off their clothes and make sure
they enjoy their time. These herbs are expensive, so you'd better not waste them." Hanson then left the cave
without even looking back. Despite the screams and moans behind him, he didn't even blink at all as he answered a
phone call from Larry. "Talk."
"President Luke, Gray Condo is currently just an empty building," Larry reported what he had learned to Hanson.
Hanson chuckled coldly, showing no signs of anger at all. "Well, he's been in hiding for years, and I'm not surprised
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthat we've failed to catch him once again." He knew it was easier said than done to capture Eddie. "Just tell our
people to keep their eyes open for anything fishy."
"Don't worry about that, President Luke. I've made the necessary arrangements. Furthermore, our men found what
seemed to be his communication portal, but the signs show that Eddie has been lying low for at least a few days by
now."
Upon hearing Larry's words, Hanson couldn't help but feel impressed with Eddie's capabilities for having built a
communication portal despite his tight security and surveillance. It's no wonder he has the guts to fight me over my
company. Anyway, I suppose he is going to be out of action for a while now that he's lost the communication portal
right here.
"Good job. Please take care of the media because I don't want to see any news about this on the internet
tomorrow."
"Our IT department is already working on that, so there won’t be any news about what happened today."
"Good." Hanson then put down his phone and drove back to Haling Villa.
Meanwhile, Lily was at home, surrounded by Vania and the six boys who were concerned about her feelings
regarding the near-death experience earlier that day. "Were you afraid of what happened today?"
Lilith shook her head. "Nope, not at all." The little girl didn't see any reason to be scared of what happened earlier
that day, thinking she should be like her brothers who demonstrated courage.
"Does it still hurt now?" James carefully held her finger and asked sympathetically.
In the meantime, Jack was blowing gently at Lily's finger. "Tell us if it hurts. You don't have to endure the pain all by
yourself. From now on, we'll do everything for you until your finger recovers."
The boys showed their concern for Lily, not because she had saved them, but because they wanted to treat her
well from the bottom of their hearts. In fact, they were willing to dote on their little sister by giving her the best

"Lily, you may be a good doctor, but it's probably necessary for me to tend to your wound." Before Lily could
answer James and Jack's question, Jacob reacted by approaching Lily with a medical kit in his hand. He then
carefully dressed her wound, clumsily wrapping it with gauze.
In the meantime, Lily looked at the bandage that was covering her whole hand as she helplessly covered her
forehead. After all, she only had a small cut on her fingertip and reckoned the boys were just overreacting. My
wound will heal in a day or two, so it isn't necessary to patch up my entire hand. This is not serious at all. "Thank
you, brothers! However, this is just a small cut, and it doesn't hurt at all."
"Wounds like yours are not going to faze us because we're boys, but you're a girl, which is all the reason you should
be more careful about your own safety. After all, you're our sister, and we want you to be a happy and adorable
little girl," said Jude.
Morales echoed Jude's words and added, "That's right. We're guys, so we're expected to protect you, Lily."
Touched, Lily expressed her gratitude sincerely and said, "Thank you so much, brothers. I'll do my best to protect
you guys too." With her medical skills, she believed she could protect her beloved ones in her own way.
