Operation Red Book

Nameless anger rushed into her heart. Ivy stomped her feet for no reason and picked up the tea on the table and gulped it down.

He drank one cup after another, completely ignoring the water stains dripping from the corners of his mouth.

"He, he confessed to me before, he said he signed the contract with you just to find an excuse to see you..."

Joshua spoke timidly, and every time Ivy made a noise he shook unconsciously.

"I, I, I told him that if he loves you, he should protect you..."

"Protect me?" Ivy replied angrily, "He almost strangled me to death that night!"

"How, how could..."

"He's just a lunatic! I don't want to be loved by a lunatic. Let him love whoever he wants. Find someone who can stand his torture. I won't keep you company! Cough cough cough..."

Ivy raised her voice and took several gulps of water. She choked accidentally and started coughing violently.

"Student Ivy!"

Joshua quickly jumped out of the wheelchair and limped over to help Ivy calm down.

"Ahem, have you forgotten that he is a devil? You believe in the devil's words... In the future, don't have much contact with him, and don't mention him in front of me again, do you hear me! Ahem..."

Ivy's eyes were bloodshot as she angrily vented her anger, and then she coughed again.

Joshua clenched his fist and swore solemnly, and made countless promises, only then did he calm Ivy down.

It was clearly Joshua who needed care, but in the end it was Joshua who helped Ivy back to the bedroom.

Night fell unknowingly, the street lights were turned on, and London's life entered a bustling night.

"Student Ivy, what do you want to tell me? To improve our strength?"

Joshua sat on Ivy's bed, flipping through the red book in his hand.

His eyes were less than a centimeter away from the book, and Ivy even began to wonder if he was really blind.

"Yeah, look at you. This time half of your body was broken, last time your toes were broken, the time before that you were unconscious, the time before that your whole body was broken..."

Ivy put down the strawberry cake in her hand and began to count the number of times Joshua had been injured since joining SCO.

"It's too painful. We don't get injured that much in the 21st century. Although there are potions that can heal quickly, we are human beings and it hurts when we get hurt."

"It's okay, I forgot about it..."

Joshua rubbed his shoulder and tried to recall the scene when he was injured.

"Tsk... You don't think so yourself, but you have to think about your family. If your parents, grandparents, and grandparents knew about this, they would be heartbroken."

As soon as Ivy finished speaking, a layer of mist suddenly appeared in Joshua's eyes.

The highlight gradually appeared in his eyes, and sadness appeared on his face.

It has been three months since he came here, and his sudden departure without saying goodbye has already dug a gap in his heart.

If he let them know that he was constantly hurt in the other world, Joshua couldn't imagine how shocking the tears his grandparents would shed would be.

"We are adults now, Joshua."

Ivy wiped away the tears from Joshua's face with her hand, looked at the mist in his eyes, and spoke softly.

"Every step here is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. But we can't stand still. We have to fight back and at least not let ourselves get hurt again."

Joshua blushed as he looked at Ivy's strong yet gentle eyes. It felt like a spring breeze was blowing through his heart, melting the ice and snow and warming the mountains.

The desire to become stronger suddenly appeared in my mind, just like the night before in Florence.

"Okay!" Joshua said happily, "I'll do whatever you ask me to do!"

Ivy let go of Joshua, sat on the bed and took another bite of the strawberry cake.

She rolled her eyes, as if thinking about something.

After finishing a large piece of cake, Ivy raised her eyebrows at Joshua and said with a smile:

"Go find SCO. The people at SCO are really great. They must have a solution!"
