The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1720

Although Evangeline panicked, she didn't show it.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Really? Evangeline, I thought you've changed to a better person over the years. It turns out that I've mistaken, isn't it? You're still the arrogant and wilful, aren't you?"

Zion shook off her hand immediately.

Evangeline was well-educated, gentle, polite, and diligent. Considering the relationship between her and the Ye family, Zion had to take care of her when she came here to study.

At first, Zion refused. However, he enjoyed his time with her and was a little tempted. After all, they had too many interest in common. Despite so, why would she appear at the place where he work? Ordinary people couldn't go there at all!

Zion refused to believe if Evangeline had anything to do with the terrorist. Also, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to face the hostage.

He was too shocked when Evangeline suddenly appeared at the scene.

What was he thinking at that moment?

He was worried that someone else would find out about Evangeline!

As a result, he didn't hear what the kidnapper said at all. When Evangeline was about to expose herself in front of her teammates, he pulled the trigger in a hurry. However, due to his mistake, the kidnapper grabbed the hostage to block the gunshot.

The hostage was only 23 years old!

Because of him, the bullet shot through the person's womb. She would never be a mother again in this life!

This was the first time he had committed a huge mistake in his career! Also the first time he had ruined a girl's life!

He did not deny his mistake. Perhaps he deserved to be thrown a bomb at him by the kidnappers. Although he escaped, his eardrums were damaged and he could not hear anything now. Ever since he woke up, he had been wondering why Evangeline was there.

Evangeline's identity was special. She obviously knew what kind of consequences she would bring when she appeared at the dangerous scene. Normal people would avoid it on their own. Moreover, the place was already surrounded by the military region and the police. Although no one could enter, Evangeline went.

For so many years, he knew it was her!

Moreover, the panic in her eyes also took away the last trace of hope in his heart.

"What's your relationship with that terrorist?"

Zion stared at her, wanting to sense something from her eyes.

The pressure made Evangeline breathless. Her palms were full of sweat, but she bit her lower lip and said nothing.

It was she who had implicated him!

The moment he pulled the trigger, she knew that it was her fault.

She didn't want to, but....

"Speak up! What's your relationship with him?"

Zion suddenly grabbed her shoulder. He stared at her with bloodshot eyes, which was horribly scary.

His fingers were like iron hooks that seeped into her shoulder. She was in so much pain that her face turned pale, but she didn't say a word and allowed him to act on. It felt her bones were about to break into pieces.

She knew what he was feeling right now.

He was a soldier of Z Country! But because of her sudden appearance at the crime scene, he had hurt the hostages. On the other hand, he would even think that he was her accomplice!

This was against his loyalty and conscience!

But-

Evangeline's eyes were swollen, but she forced back her tears. Upon looking at Zion's angry face, she said slowly, "I will take the initiative to confess to your boss. I will said that it was because of me that you were distracted. Don't worry, I won't let them punish you! I..."

"Do you think I care about the punishment? Evangeline, do you really not understand what me?"

Zion heard her words very clearly and this made him very uncomfortable.

He suddenly let go of Evangeline, as if he had been drained of all his strength overnight. All his emotions were restrained in an instant. At this moment, he was cold and distant towards her.

"Zion..."

"Get out! I don't want to see you! You'd better get out of here as far as you can! If you don't tell me your relationship with that kidnapper today, then be it!"

Zion clenched his fists forcefully. He couldn't care less anymore.

Seeing him like this, Evangeline seemed to have returned to her true personality. All these years of getting along with him was like an illusion, which made her feel heartbroken.

"Zion, I have my reasons! I'll tell you some other day, okay? Don't drive me away! You need someone to take care of you! Zion!"

Evangeline wanted to hug him, but he shook her off. He glared at her with cold eyes, there was no longer warmth and affection in him. He looked at her as if she were a stranger.

"Get lost!"

After saying that, he pushed her away and went to the bathroom, then locked the door.

Evangeline bit her lower lip, tears welling up in her eyes.

Why did she go there? This was a secret!

She knew that as long as she told Zion, he would return to the state when he had reconciled with her. However, she couldn't tell him.

Evangeline had never hated her identity. However, she hated the fact that Zion and her were not from the same country!

She knew that she might lose him!

But she was not ready to give up yet!

From the first time they saw each other when they were young, she had fallen in love with him. Now, they finally got rid of the unhappiness in their childhood. She was so in love that she believe that they would be together someday. But how could such a thing happen?

Evangeline bit her lower lip, but she could no longer hold back her tears.

Meanwhile, Zion was hiding in the bathroom, He immediately turned on the 3D computer on his watch and quickly found the surveillance video of the task.

Evangeline didn't show up in the video. It was just a shadow that flashed by. However, this was also the reason that the military pay close attention to it.

He knew what he should do. However, he did something against his faith for the first time in his life when he thought of Evangeline.

His tapped a few keys on the keyboard, and the figure disappeared without a trace from the surveillance video, even nowhere to be found.

At this moment, he actually chose to protect Evangeline!

He couldn't believe himself!
