The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1721

Looking at the empty computer screen, Zion's mind instantly went blank.

When he realized what he had done, everything was over.

It wasn't that he recover the things he had done. At this moment, he suddenly closed the computer, and a trace of firmness flashed through his eyes.

After packing up, he got up and left the bathroom. He suddenly felt empty in his heart when he found that Evangeline was gone.

Then, he sat on the bed in deep thoughts.

After losing his hearing ability, what he did most often was to be in a daze and emptying all his thoughts.

When Mango and Nathaniel returned, he was already asleep.

He was frowning in his sleep. There seemed to be something that couldn't be resolved. Upon seeing this, Mango felt a pang of heart ache.

She walked over and gently pulled the blanket over him.

In the past, Zion was very alert. He would wake up instantly when there was light little sound of footsteps. However, he seemed to have heard nothing and fell asleep quietly.

Mango was having mixed emotions. She looked at Zion with her eyes full of tears.

Nathaniel was just about the same, but he didn't know how to comfort her.

After a while, Mango put the food on the table beside and left the ward.

Nathaniel followed her out while she said, "I'm going to call my brother and ask him to check up on Zion. I don't believe that Zion can't hear me. He's still so young, he..."

"Dear, it's only temporary for Zion to lose his hearing. I asked before, it was said that a bomb exploded in his ear when he was on a mission, causing a temporary hearing loss. Don't worry, it will take some time to recover."

Nathaniel explained quickly.

"What if it's not like what you said? Wouldn't it get worse if we don't treat him right now?"

Mango was worried and tense.

Nathaniel rubbed his nose and said nothing.

Mango was a little depressed when she saw that Nathaniel was silent.

"You don't agree with me?" "No, you're right. I'll call Tristan now. But Priscilla had just given birth recently. Are you sure you want to call him now?"

Nathaniel's words stunned Mango.

That's right.

Ten years ago, Pricilla's infertility had been cured by Tristan and she had given birth to a healthy baby. The pregnancy had caused a massive bleeding in her and Tristan was extremely worried. Therefore, he refused to let her get pregnant again.

However, who knew that Priscilla would be pregnant again after ten years? It had been almost four months since they found out. The couple had no choice but to keep this child. It was just recent when she given birth to her second child.

It would be inappropriate to ask Tristan over during this time.

Mango paused for a moment and said, "Call Wisdom. Shouldn't he come back and visit his brother?"

"Wisdom is attending a press conference. He went there on behalf of the company. I don't think we can get in contact with him."

Although Nathaniel was also worried about Zion's condition, he was more rational.

Over the past few years, Mango had been a little emotional when it came to the children's matter.

However, Nathaniel didn't dare to say it. What if his wife got angry? Thus, he could only let her be.

Mango was a little depressed when she heard about these news. When she was about to ask Barney over, she saw Barney coming over with several people in military uniforms.

"Mr. and Mrs. Ye, nice to meet you."

A few years ago, Barney had had an operation under Tristan. Now, he could speak like a normal person. She had inherited Noah's and Genevieve's profession. She had graduated from the military hospital and was an attending physician.

Seeing Barney coming over, Mango was pleased and happy. She grabbed her hand and said, "Barney, Zion's ear..."

"Mrs. Ye, don't worry. Zion's ears are fine. I've already done a detailed check-up on him. His sudden lose of hearing is because of a loud sound. I think he'll be able to slowly recover by tomorrow." Barney said with a faint smile.

She was gentle, just like an elder sister.

Hearing Barney's words, Mango finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm glad that you've been friends with Zion since you were a child. Please take good care of him."

"Don't worry, I will!"

Barney patted the back of Mango's hand. She then led a few people into Zion's room.

Mango frowned slightly and felt a little uneasy. She was about to follow in, but was stopped by Nathaniel.

"What are you doing?"

Mango glared at him.

Nathaniel whispered, "This is the official procedure. People from the Military Ministry will come over to make a statement. It's not appropriate for us to go in." "But that's my son!"

Although Mango said so, she still stopped and was immediately taken away from the ward by Nathaniel.

Meanwhile, Barney walked in with the team. Zion had already gotten up.

In fact, he woke up when Mango left the room. However, he didn't know what to say to Mango, so he pretended to be asleep.

Zion looked calm when he saw the Military Ministry.

There was a trace of heartache in Barney's eyes. She stepped forward and gave him a check-up. Then, she said softly, "Don't be too nervous. It's just a routine."

She spoke slowly and tenderly. She knew that Zion would understand her meaning.

Zion smiled and said lightly, "You can leave now. I'm fine."

"I'll stay with you."

Barney didn't know why, but Zion's behaviour changed a little after he got injured.

Zion didn't say anything else. Instead, he looked at the people from the Military Ministry who had entered and said.

"It's all my responsibility. I was absent-minded during the gunshot and didn't notice the movements of the kidnappers. At that time, I wanted to scare the kidnappers and make them surrender, but I didn't expec to fire the bullet so early."

As soon as he finished speaking, Barney looked up at him in surprise and said anxiously, "What nonsense are you talking about? Zion, don't be wilful at this time! You should know that every word you say now will determine your future military and political career."

"I'm telling the truth. It's all my fault. I'm a criminal. I didn't predict the direction and didn't find the right time to shoot in advance. I admit what I did!"

His eyes were bright and determined.

Barney wanted to cover his mouth, but it was too late.

People from the Military Ministry looked at each other. They all knew that Zion was a pillar of the army. They thought that there was something wrong with him, but now he had admitted that he was in a hurry and caused serious consequences. How should they write the statement about him now?
