Chapter 312
312:
Without hesitation, Christina pulled out her phone, stealing a glance at Dylan, who still lay unconscious in the hospital bed. Her expression hardened. She turned on her heel and strode out of the ward, dialing Davina as she walked.
“Send the cleanup crew to Kitaso Hospital now,” Christina ordered quietly. “There’s a body that needs to disappear. And I want to know exactly which organization this assassin was working for.”
“Understood!” Davina’s response was crisp and professional—she wasted no time alerting the team.
After arranging the cleanup team, Davina called Christina back. Christina answered, already bracing for a barrage of questions.
“What happened?” Davina’s voice was tense. “Was this a hit on you? Is your cover blown?”
“No,” Christina replied, her voice calm but steely. “They were after Dylan.”
“Oh, right! I almost forgot about his situation. Was his surgery a success?” Davina inquired, her tone shifting.
“The operation went smoothly—Dylan’s stable now,” Christina remarked, her tone calm but brisk. “But word got out. The organization sent another assassin to poison him while he was recovering.”
Davina’s concern sharpened. “Were you injured?”
“Not a scratch. But I couldn’t get a name. We still have no idea who’s after Dylan.”
Davina let out a relieved breath. “Honestly, I don’t care about anyone else. As long as you’re safe, nothing else matters.”
Christina felt a wave of warmth in her heart at Davina’s words. No matter what she encountered, she knew Davina would always be in her corner, fierce and unwavering—her loyalty unshakable.
“Hello? Christina, are you still there? Can you hear me? Say something—are you alright?” Davina’s anxious voice crackled through the phone, her concern bleeding into every syllable.
A soft laugh escaped Christina. “I’m fine, honestly. I’m completely unharmed.”
“You went silent abruptly and scared me half to death,” Davina’s relief lasted only a second before her tone sharpened. “You need to stay out of Dylan’s messes. He isn’t your responsibility. Trust me, getting mixed up with men never ends well. And don’t try to dodge the question—have you fallen for him? For an ordinary friend, is risking exposing your discreet identity really worth it?”

Her words landed hard, crisp with worry and a hint of caution.
A moment of stillness washed over Christina as memories of her panic resurfaced when she learned Dylan had been shot. However, she reasoned that it wasn’t about romance. If Chloe or Davina had been in danger, her reaction would have been just as fierce, and her help would have come just as swiftly.
Dylan’s face flashed in Christina’s mind, and she steadied herself. A soft chuckle escaped her. “You’re reading too much into it. If something had happened to you or Chloe, I’d be right there, too. You’re my closest friends, and Chloe and Dylan are worth saving in my mind. I wouldn’t hesitate for any of you. It has nothing to do with romantic feelings.”
Davina was silent for a moment before asking, “Are you telling the truth?”
Christina’s response came without hesitation. “Of course. I mean it.”
“Then exercise caution and don’t risk exposing your discreet identity as an assassin. Plenty of people out there are waiting for a chance to kill you. The moment your identity slips, you’ll have even more enemies than Dylan,” Davina warned.
