After some time, Hunter suddenly opened his eyes. He was fully vigilant as he had heard the whirring of a wheelchair.
What is Evelyn doing here?
The moment she entered, her gaze met with Hunter's. She greeted him with an indifferent tone, "You're awake."
"Mmm-hmm," Hunter snorted in reply. When he noticed the probing look in her eyes, he knew that she was likely responsible for the assassination.
"Why did you take that blow for her?" Evelyn got straight to the point without an ounce of concern for Hunter's condition.
"Didn't you tell me to get close to her and gain her trust?" Hunter lied to Evelyn. So far, he hadn't gotten Evelyn to trust him enough to share with him her plans.
"Although I am a lot closer to Vivian now, she still doesn't trust me fully. Now that I have taken a knife for her, she will no longer doubt my feelings for her."
Having spoken too much, Hunter aggravated his wound, causing him to grimace in pain.
"But, aren't you making too big a sacrifice for it? Is it even worth it?" Evelyn probed as she didn't believe in Hunter's words. She was even worried that he had fallen for Vivian.
"Sacrifices will always be needed in the pursuit of women. I have never failed to pursue anyone who I fancy. Vivian will also not be an exception."
Just as he spoke, Hunter faked a melodramatic look at Evelyn.
"Furthermore, as you have given me this task, I will definitely complete it by hook or by crook. Getting a little injury in the process is no big deal."
Having heard what Hunter said, Evelyn put her suspicions to rest. After all, the Hunter she knew was relentless in his pursuit of women.
Wheeling herself in front of Hunter, she looked at him coyly. "As long as you help me ruin Vivian, there might be a possibility that things work out between us."
"Make sure you keep your word?" Hunter's eyes sparkled with excitement.
