and check her injuries. ” Phoebe, where does it hurt? Tell me. Where’s
the blood coming from?”Phoebe shook her head. “I’m fine. I just coughed up some blood from
getting kicked in the chest and abdomen. No visible wounds, so it’s
probably internal.”“Those jerks,” Mila cursed.Phoebe managed a weak smile.Mila gave her a stern look and asked disapprovingly, “You’re a black
belt in taekwondo. Plus, you’re skilled in judo and boxing, too, right?

with these two bodies.” Phoebe gently patted Mila’s back to reassure

defend myself against all these people.”FindNovel.netPhoebe clutched her stomach in pain and nervously eyed the door as
she asked, “Mila, how many bullets do you have left?”“Just one,” Mila replied.“We’re in big trouble, then.”Mila leaned in and covered Phoebe’s ear as she whispered, “Phoebe, I

tightened in fury so much that they trembled.Without hesitating, Lucas lunged at Mila and snatched the pen gun
from her hand. Through gritted teeth, he growled, “This gun again. You
