When Gavin delivered the coal, several men followed. They were looking around outside Hathaway's house. Hill was trying to light the fireplace that hadn't been used for a long time, and Kate was watching carefully. Counting Daniel's evil deeds, Gavin leaned against the door and listened with relish.

"Hill, you can't let Daniel go on like this anymore, he's a real villain, and he'll drag you all down." Kate followed Hill around.

"Hathaway, did Daniel really do that just now?" Gavin stared at Hathaway curiously, as if what he heard just now was just a story.

Hathaway nodded absently, she turned her head and looked out the window, noticing her gaze, the people outside quickly bent down and hid.

"Oh!" Gavin exclaimed, perhaps because he thought it was cool, but he didn't say it out loud. For those young people, being a villain is actually a very desirable profession.He also glanced at his companions outside the house, "Don't worry, they are not guys like Daniel. Hey, Kevin, your big butt is showing, please shrink a little, can't even the house cover it now?" Have you stopped your huge size?"

Hearing his words, a person outside the house really started to shake his body, as if he wanted to shrink himself, but he forgot that there were several partners crowded around him. His movement broke his balance, and several people shook to the left The right swing fell out.Hathaway saw a person throwing herself at the door in embarrassment, and found that she was looking at him. He also showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and then got up from the ground with both hands and feet. They winked, but it was a pity that his little friends were not loyal enough and ran away without showing their faces. His smile froze on his face for a moment, and then he ran away like a fly.

Gavin patted his thigh with his hands, and bent down laughing. Hathaway couldn't help laughing when she saw this. Although there are bad guys like Daniel here, there are also simple-minded workers like Gavin.

Laughing and laughing, Gavin wailed again, "Ah, ah, my waist, my waist! Damn, I can't straighten up, Hathaway, help me." Just now he was still laughing at others for making a big fool of himself, but he was immediately unlucky. While supporting his lower back, he asked Hathaway to help him to sit down on the chair.

"Gavin, I told you yesterday that your back is seriously injured, you need to rest for a while, and you can't do strenuous exercise." Kate gave him a little attention.

"What kind of strenuous exercise! I just smiled, that's all!" He kneaded his waist while talking, his face wrinkled in pain.

"It doesn't look like you can laugh." Kate whispered.

Hathaway watched the interaction between the two, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up. The relationship between people is much closer than she imagined, and the atmosphere is also very relaxed and harmonious, which can make people relax unconsciously.

"Miss Butler." Hill straightened up and waved to Kate.

Hathaway suppressed the smile on her lips, and listened to what the worker leader had to say.

"Although we are just a group of wanted criminals, please don't think of us as Daniel. Maybe we have done something wrong, but it is definitely not because we wanted to do that. It's just... just being forced to help." Hilto Walter trimmed his beard today, revealing his square chin, and his voice is calm and powerful, sounding very convincing.

"You mean those followers who died at your hands?" Hathaway raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but stab him.She could hold back her words under the hands of a cruel kidnapper, but she couldn't help provoking him when facing a conscientious foreman.

"Yes, I'm sorry about that. But we do need money. I can't watch the workers who work with me starve to death. I..." Hill was silent for a while, he gave up his defense, and something was done There's no turning back, "We need a sum of money that will allow these workers to start a new life in a new place with the rest of their family, so we do need a ransom. But rest assured, as long as the money is received I will release Mr. Butler, and of course you and your fiancé, I'm sorry I can't let you go right away, I have to make sure our whereabouts will not be leaked, I don't need you to pay extra money, Butler The sir's ransom is enough for us, during this period I will guarantee your safety, guarantee your safety, and I will go to persuade Daniel."

Kate also comforted Hathaway together, "Don't worry, I grew up with Hill, and I can't do what he said. The workers are by no means as evil as you imagine. Except for Daniel and those people, everyone actually None of them are bad people, as long as you stay here for a few days, you will know."

She turned her head to Hill again and said, "Sill, the gentleman's wound inside is a little inflamed and has a fever, but I'm going to take Hathaway to see Mr. Butler later."

Hill shrugged, "Just tell me to find some herbs, or what happened last time?" Kate smiled and nodded, and Hill led Gavin out.

Philip lived in a house next to Kate, and Hathaway didn't know what that meant, and she didn't want to know.She only knew that she hadn't seen her brother for nearly half a year, and he had lived here for a month, and she was eager to see how he was doing now.

Kate led Hathaway to push the door in naturally. She put the food on the table and shouted to the room: "Mr. Butler, come and eat." Then she started to set the dishes, but it was nothing It was easy to present, although the food was richer than what she gave Hathaway, but the richness was limited, a bowl of oatmeal, two pieces of black bread, a few baked potatoes, and a hard-boiled egg.

"You're late today." Hathaway heard the people in the room talking in a calm and calm voice, followed by the sound of closing a book.Her heart was beating violently, and she unconsciously walked to the door step by step.

Philip was sitting on a chair by the bed with his eyes closed and a book on his lap that had just been closed.He has lost a lot of weight, his cheeks have become thinner, and his skin has become paler. His eyes are lightly closed, his lips are tightly pursed, his facial features are more prominent, and he looks morbidly handsome.He wears the same gray sweatshirt and black trousers as the workers, and the clothes hang loosely on his body, but none of this detracts from his aristocratic temperament, and his coldness and arrogance will not be lessened by the change of clothing , but even more strongly.

As soon as Hathaway saw him, somehow a feeling of grievance surged into her heart, and her brows frowned and her eye circles turned red.

Philip heard familiar but unfamiliar footsteps stop in front of him. Kate has been taking care of him for a month, but occasionally there will be some uninvited guests, which he cannot control.He opened his eyes impatiently, only to see a person who would never appear here.

"Hathaway!?" Philip's eyes widened, and the expression on his face froze.

"Brother..." Hathaway covered her mouth with her hand as soon as she yelled, her eyes became blurred, tears flowed indulgently on her face, she squatted down and rested her head on Philip's leg Cried heartily.

Philip stayed there for a while, all kinds of thoughts were crazily turning in his head, each of which was extremely absurd, but even more absurd things had happened before his eyes, people who should have stayed at home safely appeared In the den of thieves, he almost suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes, or something wrong with his brain.It wasn't until he felt the pain caused by the oppression on his legs and the slowly wet pants that he realized that all this was real!Hathaway was really right in front of his eyes!

"Damn it! Why are you here!" The stern and arrogant gentleman was driven mad by an obvious fact.

Hathaway didn't bother to talk to him at this time, she shed tears on his lap, venting her emotions to her heart's content.This is different from when she was facing the colonel, she would still control herself in front of the colonel and release her emotions gently.But when facing Philip, she could cry loudly without any scruples, venting herself willfully like a child.

Philip didn't get a response for a long time, and finally had no choice but to pat Hathaway's back with his hands, waiting for her to finish crying.

During the period, Kate poked her head in from the door and opened her mouth in surprise when she saw Hathaway hugging Philip's leg and crying bitterly. You must know that Hathaway has been extremely brave from last night until now, and she doesn't look like a spoiled child. Miss Noble.

Philip waved his hand to signal her to close the door. He didn't want such a scene to be watched by outsiders.

After Hathaway finished crying, Philip's pants were already wet, he pushed Hathaway to sit on the chair next to him, and moved his legs unnaturally. "Okay, tell me why you are here." Now his tone has calmed down, no matter how angry he is, he will calm down after dealing with a lady who has been crying bitterly for half an hour.

Hathaway's nose and eyes were red, and her chest was still heaving violently. She wiped her cheek with the back of her hand childishly, but was stopped by Philip, who stuffed a handkerchief for her.At this time, the brain had returned to her body, and she remembered Philip's question just now. This is really a difficult question to answer.

She blinked innocently, her green eyes brighter after being washed by tears, and she looked at her brother pitifully, hoping to escape this problem, but it was obvious that Philip had long been resistant to her expression , he stared at her with a cold face unmoved, "Well...Actually...Mr. Joseph wrote us to come here, he said that you are missing and need help." Hathaway said sincerely these words.

Philip smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, and then resumed his previous expression, "Do you think I will believe it?"

Hathaway also smiled, her expression was very similar to that of Philip just now, "Actually, Elena asked us to come, she is worried about handing over your life to others."

This time Philip didn't even bother to smile. He put his hands on his chest, looked at Hathaway coldly, and said impatiently: "I know her better than you think, I know how she will react." .Now, you can either make up a credible lie, or you can honestly explain why you are here."

Hathaway now feels that Philip's eyes are much more terrifying than Daniel's. She has no doubt that if she doesn't give him a satisfactory answer, he will definitely make her regret it. I don't know if it's too late for her to continue crying now?
