The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 1813

Evangeline instantly pinched Zion, and the look of bewilderment on her face made him laugh.

"Do you want them to come in and see me like this?"

Evangeline instinctively shook her head as she glanced at Zion's sturdy muscles.

She didn't want anyone to see him like this!

Zion's entire body was hers!

Seeing Evangeline shaking her head, Zion said with a smile, "Bring me my clothes. They're in the closet."

Wisdom had asked someone to buy a few sets of clothes for him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to deal with the wounds easily.

Evangeline quickly found some clothes for him to wear.

However, Zion went out to open the door without buttoning up his shirt.

Several military personnel arrived with a team outside. They noticed his pale face and carefully looked at his upper body while questioning nervously, "Are you harmed, Sir? Have you recently been harmed by someone?"

"No, I was beaten by my father-in-law. He was just trying to test me out before my marriage." Evangeline was embarrassed by Zion's words.

The other party didn't expect that Zion would mention such a shameful thing with a smug look on his face. Hearing this, they couldn't help but be stunned.

Obviously, the onlookers were interested in this situation.

Zion was a celebrity in the military community. Due to his numerous military achievements, he had become a role model in many people's minds.

It was rather uncommon to see someone like him having to put up with his father-in-harsh law's criticism and test in order to marry a woman. It seemed that he was just the same as an ordinary individual.

The bolder soldiers even asked, "Sir, will you send us an invitation when you get married?"

"You won't be able to come to my wedding even if I handed you one. But I'll send the wedding chocolates to the military region and let you all enjoy it when the time comes. Come in. Meet my fiance."

Zion pushed Evangeline to the front as he spoke.

Evangeline's face flushed red, and she felt unsettled.

"Nice to meet you."

Evangeline spoke softly as she opened her mouth.

"Nice to meet you!"

The entire team's voice was loud and clear. They would have startled women that were timider, but it made Evangeline extremely happy.

She felt that all her efforts were worth it as she had been recognized by Zion's comrades-in-arms.

"Alright, that's it. Hurry up and get back to work now."

Zion was aware that they were on a mission, and it wasn't right for him to delay them, so he started chasing them out.

Hearing Zion's words, they did not have any doubt or dissatisfaction and immediately left.

Evangeline finally reacted as soon as Zion shut the door. Previously, she wanted to hide Zion's body from everyone else, right?

Besides, why did Zion want her to find clothes for him when those people had seen his bare chest?

"What the hell are you up to?"

Evangeline felt as if she had never fully comprehended Zion.

Zion grinned. "You'll find out in the future. Are you exhausted? Don't be too stressed about the surgery. The kidney is completely safe now that your mother and brother are here. Believe me when I say there will be no issues."

"Okay."

Evangeline had rejected this operation before, but she knew that Zion did this for her own good. Also, she agreed because she hoped that she could spend the rest of her life with Zion.

Perhaps everyone was selfish in the face of love.

She desired to live a happy life. After all, she wanted to live healthily for the sake of Zion so that they could have a blissful life.

They were about to say anything when someone knocked on the door again. Zion was a little grumpy this time.

Why were they not done yet?

He was about to open the door when Evangeline stopped him.

"I II go. You're injured and you should take a rest. Don't mess around and sit still."

Somehow, it felt good to have Evangeline ordering him around.

Zion sat there with a faint smile while she went to open the door.

She was taken aback when she opened the door and saw Wisdom.

"Wisdom?"

"Is Zion here?" NôvelDrama.Org © content.

"Yes."

Evangeline quickly opened the door and let Wisdom in.

Wisdom didn't have anything to say. When he walked into the room, he noticed Zion had removed his shirt. Zion appeared to be struggling with his wound. Seeing this, Wisdom's eyes flared and he grimaced slightly. "I have something to talk to you about, should we do it privately or here?" He asked Zion.

Evangeline understood the meaning of Wisdom's words and quickly said, "I'll go back to my room. My mom and brother are probably worried about me."

"Evangeline, stay here."

Obviously, Zion could tell that Evangeline was trying to run away.

But to him, there was nothing he needed to hide from Evangeline.

Wisdom understood the meaning behind his words. Then, he glanced at her and added, "Evangeline's operation might be postponed."

"What do you mean?"

Zion frowned.

After all, he had found a kidney and scheduled an operation for Evangeline as soon as possible. This was so that he could reduce her body's reaction and increase the operation's success rate. He couldn't help but be concerned upon hearing Wisdom mention that the surgery could be postponed.

"What happened?"

Wisdom nodded with a serious face.

"Did you hear the gunshot just now?"

"I heard it."

Zion walked up to Evangeline and held her hand tightly.

Evangeline had always been overthinking lately. In fact, she had recently agreed to undergo surgery. Therefore, he was scared that Evangeline would not agree as easily next time if she shied away due to other external circumstances.

Evangeline's heart plummeted, and she felt uneasy after learning that the operation had been postponed. Hence, Zion was holding her hand to ease her uneasiness.

She looked at Zion and smiled faintly.

Zion heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed that she was unaffected by the situation.

Wisdom didn't want to say anything after observing their reaction. However, Zion needed to know about this issue.

He murmured, "They arrived at the hospital with the intention of stealing the kidney that was supposed to belong to Evangeline. Before they managed to flee, they were confronted by soldiers on patrol. There was a fight between the two parties. They opened fire and ran off with the kidney. As a result, we don't have a kidney for Evangeline's operation now."

"So the person came here just for the kidney?"

Zion's eyes suddenly darkened.

If the intruder was a lone terrorist, he would be relieved, and he would hand this case over to the other soldiers. After all, catching a terrorist was a piece of cake with so many people around.

He had finally managed to get closer to Evangeline. Hence, he didn't want to disturb their sweet moment with other matters. However, he hadn't expected the other party to come for the kidney.

He had managed to find a matching kidney for Evangeline, and this kidney could save her life! However, someone had robbed her of her kidney. How ridiculous!

A hint of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes.

"Where did the person escape to?"

Upon hearing this, Evangeline understood what he was about to do. However, she didn't want him to risk himself for her sake.
