The news that Dragon King Well had offended the young patriarch of the Clarke family and gotten his manor destroyed, and subsequently got resorted by a mysterious person, quickly spread throughout Mystic City. Everyone in the city panicked because many families had offended Young Patriarch Clarke too.
Now, the well-being of the Third Dragon King of Mystic City was unknown, which was enough to deter everyone. Everyone speculated what was the next step Young Patriarch Clarke would take.
In Claus’ private villa, Philip and the others were chatting.
“Young Patriarch Clarke, your destruction of Windsor’s manor has spread throughout the city. All the patriarchs of the families who haven’t left are panicking now.”
Claus sat on the side and said, “The example you set is very good.”
Philip nodded lightly and said, “I want to thank you for your hospitality these days. I’ll leave the rest of the things in Mystic City in your good hands.”
Claus nodded and said, “Please rest assured, Young Patriarch Clarke. I’ll take good care of the aftermath in Mystic City.”
At this time, a maid walked in quickly and said, “Lord Dragon King, Young Patriarch Clarke, Miss Nolan is awake.”
Philip jumped to his feet and rushed to Layla’s room. He pushed the door open. Layla was leaning against the head of the bed weakly. Seeing Philip barging in, favonovel.com immediately turned favonovel.com head, snorted coldly, and said, “What are you doing here?”
Philip slowed down, scratched his head awkwardly, and said with a smile, “I heard you woke up and came to see you…”
Layla pursed favonovel.com lips, turned favonovel.com face away, and said arrogantly, “You’ve seen me. You can go now.”
Philip chuckled, poured a cup of tea, walked to Layla’s bed, and handed the cup to her. He said, “You just woke up and your body is weak. Drink more liquids.”
Layla frowned as favonovel.com looked at the cup of tea in Philip’s hand. She asked, “Do men only know how to make a woman drink?”
Philip was startled and smiled in embarrassment, not knowing what to say. This was a million-dollar question. Was it bad to drink more water?
Seeing his embarrassment, Layla chuckled and said, “Okay, I’ll stop teasing you. How long have I been in a coma? What happened to Samuel and Hugh Woods?”
Philip sat down and said, “You’ve been in a coma for six days. Samuel and Hugh have left Mystic City. I don’t know where they went.”
Hearing that, Layla frowned and said, “It seems that they’ve gone back first. No way, I have to return to Heavenly Court immediately.”
After saying that, Layla was about to get up, but favonovel.com was still weak. Before favonovel.com could get up, favonovel.com staggered and was about to fall. Philip quickly stepped forward to support Layla.
At this moment, the atmosphere was somewhat ambiguous. Layla was very nervous, and favonovel.com heart thumped as favonovel.com fell into Philip’s arms. When favonovel.com came back to favonovel.com senses, favonovel.com pushed Philip away.
Blushing like a tomato, favonovel.com said, “W-What are you doing?”
Philip was taken aback and said, “Your injury hasn’t recovered, so you have to rest for a few more days. When you’re well, I’ll send someone to go back with you.”
Layla thought about it and finally nodded in agreement.
Then, Philip suddenly asked, “By the way, about the thing you told me earlier…”
“What is it?” Layla asked cautiously and added, “Don’t even think about it. The event in Mystic City is over, and we haven’t reached any agreement. We go our separate ways now and have nothing more to do with each other, do you understand?”
Philip nodded nonchalantly and said, “Sure…”
With that said, Philip left the room.
After Philip left, Layla stomped favonovel.com feet in anger and cursed, “That block of wood! Why couldn’t favonovel.com understand? Hmph!”
On this side, Philip returned to the living room. Everyone asked about Layla’s condition and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
