Eveline, taken aback by his sudden tap, turned sharply toward him, her expression a mix of surprise and annoyance.
Yer, before she could react further, Wang Xiao began, "Why didn't you catch him, if you knew about it?"
??
Eveline rendered momentarily silent, pondering her own inaction.
Why hadn't she caught him?
Hey, if she could, she certainly would have.
"If I had gone to catch him, what if someone had sneaked up behind you to attack? It could be all a set-up..." She retorted, her eyes reflecting a stoic resolve.
Did her good intentions always have to be questioned?
Wasn't it enough that she stayed by his side, albeit forcefully, ensuring his safety?
Wang Xiao, realizing the logic in her words, nodded.
He was still in the dark about who Morpheus was or why he was targeting him, but one thing was clear: this woman, Eveline, proved herself useful at times.
