Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 410

“Danger! Get down!”

The crack of a gunshot shattered the dense forest air the moment the words left his lips. Birds burst from the trees, scattering in a flurry.

The sudden turn of events sent the rescue team into a panic, with screams erupting as everyone scrambled for cover.

Soren had noticed a suspicious, furtive figure behind a tree just moments before. The instant he saw the gun barrel aim at Evangeline, he acted on pure instinct, lunging toward her and shoving her aside.

An explosive pain erupted in his chest.

His action had been entirely subconscious. His mind went blank, and by the time he processed what had happened, his body could no longer support him, and he collapsed to the ground.

The intense pain robbed him of his ability to move. The sounds around him became a muffled, indistinct roar, like an ocean tide.

Evangeline’s terrified, worried face was reflected in his eyes, but she only glanced at him for a second before turning and being led away.

His vision filled with the sight of her retreating back. He stared after her, but Evangeline never once looked back.

Heartless woman.

The thought was a mixture of anger and powerlessness. But in that moment, he suddenly remembered the car crash from nearly two months ago. The image of a blood-stained face, filled with terror and disappointment, flashed in his mind.

That was Evangeline.

He belatedly realized that she must have felt just as he did now, watching him leave so decisively, without a backward glance. So this was what it felt like to be abandoned by the entire world. It was an unbearable agony.

He didn't know how much time had passed. The gunshots and chaos had ceased at some point. He thought he heard Flora’s voice, a distant cry.

“Soren!”
