Chapter 1887
Obviously, the other party was also stunned. When he saw Evangeline, he paused for a moment and then returned to normal.
Evangeline thought that such a pause wouldn't attract Zion's attention, but Zion was very concerned about everything regarding Evangeline. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"What? You two know each other?"
"No."
"Yes."
The two of them answered at the same time. It was indeed a different answer.
Evangeline suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She had said that she didn't know him.
The other side sneered and said, "Miss Xiao is still a cold and aloof girl. She doesn't like nameless people like me. Well, let's pretend that we don't know each other."
Benji Shelby's words made Evangeline even more embarrassed.
"No, I just didn't think of it for a while. You're my classmate, my classmate in high school."
Evangeline chuckled.
If she had known that she would meet Benji who had pursued her in high school, she would not have followed Zion here.
But how could Benji know Zion?
Evangeline was confused.
Zion looked at Evangeline meaningfully. The look in his eyes made Evangeline's hair stand on end. She even wanted to turn around and run away.
Just when she didn't know what to do, Zion opened his mouth and spoke up.
"Benji, take a look at her wound. She's my fiance."
Zion emphasized the words "fiance".
Benji was slightly stunned, and his expression was a little complicated. However, he said self- deprecatingly, "I want to, but I'm afraid that Miss Xiao won't like my skills. Why don't you find someone else for her to see?
Besides, it’s improper for men and women to be intimate with each other, and you will feel embarrassed, won't you?"
"No, in my eyes, you two are just doctors and patients. Besides, shortly after the operation, she fought with others and tore open the wound that has been delayed for so long. It's inevitable for her to be infected if she finds someone else. What's wrong? Why do you choose patients as a doctor?"
Although Zion's last words were not threatening, Benji couldn't take it anymore.
"Yes."
Benji turned around and walked into the villa.
Evangeline looked at his back with some hesitation. Thinking of his relentless pursuit of her and her ruthless refusal, she never thought that there would be a chance for her to meet him again one day.
She remembered that Benji was having a difficult period of time as a student. He went to school all because of his scholarship. On the one hand, it was because she had someone in her heart. On the
other hand, she didn't want such an active boy to delay his studies because of feelings, so she was very determined at that time.
How were they going to get along with each other now?
Sh*t!
"Why does Benji have a relationship with Zion? And they seem to be on good terms." She thought to herself.
The more Evangeline thought about it, the more conflicted she became.
Looking at the expression on her face, Zion couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? Is his back more handsome than me?"
"Ah? No!"
Evangeline quickly clarified, but she didn't know how to explain it.
"Get in and treat your wound. There's no hurry for you to stay here tonight. We have a night to talk about your relationship with Benji."
His words made Evangeline want to cry.
She really didn't want to talk at all!
However, Zion didn't give her time to refuse. He picked her up and walked in.
Evangeline could only hide her head in Zion's arms like an ostrich. Listening to his strong heartbeat, she felt as if she was being fried in a hot pot, which was particularly painful.
The long road made Evangeline feel as if forever had gone by.
Zion put Evangeline on the bed and said to Benji, who was ready beside her, "Please."
"Mr. Ye isn't watching from the side?"
Benji knew that he shouldn't have said that to Zion, but he couldn't help it.
He used to like Evangeline with all his heart, and he also pursued her with all his heart.
It was a pity that he was young and arrogant at that time. He felt that he was excellent enough and that Evangeline should not be a person who looked at others with high standards. So he gathered up his courage to confess his love, but he was ruthlessly refused.
He thought that it was because he was not Evangeline's cup of tea, but now he suddenly felt that Evangeline and Zion were together. Maybe it was because of the marriage alliance of the family, or because they were well-matched.
He didn't want to admit that Evangeline liked Zion as a person.
Therefore, Benji's words were sarcastic today. He even knew that he would irritate Zion, but he still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
Was family background so important?
Was power and property that important?
As long as he wanted, he could reach the height that Evangeline wanted, but why didn't she even give him a chance?
Zion’s eyes were slightly misty. He looked deeply at Benji and said in a low voice, "Can you deal with the problem of the patient in your current state? If you can't, maybe I can really consider taking someone else into account."
All of a sudden, Benji felt as if he had been poured with cold water. He was a little sober.
What was he doing?
Benji was a little ashamed, but he still couldn't hide the unwillingness and anger on his face.
Seeing this, Zion felt quite upset.
Didn't Evangeline say that she liked him a lot?
Didn't he say that she had been chasing after Zion since she was a child and that she wanted to be his bride?
Then why was she having such luck in the love department?
However, his jealousy and dissatisfaction didn't make Zion lose his composure and reason. He knew that someone was courting Evangeline to prove that his woman was excellent enough!
Wasn't he also liked by many people?
Therefore, Zion calmed down in an instant. However, he looked at Benji in front of him and said lightly, "Have you made up your mind? Do you want me to replace you?"
"I'll do it!"
Benji finally calmed down and nodded at
Zion.
Evangeline's heart was like a roller coaster, moving up and down.
At first, when she saw that Zion and Benja suddenly became tense because of her, she also became nervous. However, she couldn't speak for anyone, because that would put her in a more difficult situation.
But there was a faint expectation in her heart.
She had always felt that Zion's feelings for her were neither hot nor cold. She had even sent herself to him several times, but Zion still retained his last bit of clarity.
Evangeline didn't know if it was because Zion really respected her, or because Zion didn't have that kind of feelings for her. So when she saw Benji, and how he provoked Zion, Evangeline was actually looking forward to it.
She hoped that Zion would get angry over her, or do something for her.
However, Zion was very calm. His calmness made Evangeline a little uneasy, a little nervous, and a little disappointed.
Perhaps in Zion's eyes, it didn't matter if there was any scandal between her and another man.
After all, a woman who came to him on her own initiative was different from a woman who had gone through so many hardships to pursue her, right?
Evangeline suddenly smiled bitterly, and her mood fell to the bottom. She didn't want to see the battle between the two men at all. She even wanted to raise her head and say, "I want to leave!"
