The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1065

At that moment, Nathaniel's grasp tightened.

It didn't matter to him that the bullets were falling like rain and that people were fighting against each other beside them. His entire being and five senses were overwhelmed and spellbound by Mango.

At that moment, Nathaniel hugged Mango so tightly that she felt as if her bones were about to break.

It seemed that Nathaniel was really scared out of his wits.

However, Mango would definitely not come here without any preparations.

She was naive for taking action alone back then, but she would be really foolish if she repeated her mistake again. Besides, it was really chaotic here, so she would surely ask for help from Brantley or the Hans family's men if she couldn't bring the members of Dark Night Empire.

Nevertheless, Mango was still very happy that Nathaniel cared so much about her.

It was only when Mango went out of breath that she struggled to push Nathaniel away.

She gasped for air while her face was as red as a tomato and her eyes were seductive and hypnotizing. The two of them were overflowing with love for each other.

At that instant, Nathaniel really wanted to hide her so that no one could see her beauty.

"Come on, let's go find Zion!"

Having said that, Nathaniel lifted Mango up in a flash and walked outside.

Suddenly, they heard a gunshot as a bullet brushed across Nathaniel's scalp from the back of his head.

"Splash!" Warm liquid seeped out instantly and it stained Mango's face.

It was blood!

Fresh blood, man!

Mango's body stiffened as she looked behind Nathaniel and saw a terrorist collapsed onto the ground slowly. He was only a few centimeters away from Nathaniel.

Blood gushed out from his temple and it formed a pool on the ground.

It was the first time that Mango had witnessed death at such a close distance and she felt really frightened.

Nathaniel held her tightly in his arms as he looked in the direction of the source of the gunshot and Zion came into his sight.

The sniper was Zion?!

At that moment, Nathaniel's eyes widened.

However, Zion stood up as if he wasn't affected mentally at all and he walked towards them.

Doubtlessly, Mango had noticed this as well.

She became a little nervous at that instant.

Did Zion just kill someone?

He did it to protect Nathaniel, but he was still a child!

He was at such a young age!

Mango struggled before she got out of Nathaniel's embrace and quickly ran towards Zion.

"Are you okay, Zion? Is everything okay?"

Mango's entire body trembled.

She didn't know if it was because she was afraid or because she was worried about Zion.

Then, Zion said calmly, "I'm fine as long as Mr. Ye is alright."

"My boy, why did you..."

Before Mango could finish her words, Nathaniel grabbed hold of her hand.

He looked at Zion with concern in his eyes.

"Let's go in and have a look at Wisdom as he's injured... He's now inside the room."

"Bettany has already gone in."

Zion said indifferently.

However, Nathaniel was really sensitive and he discerned that Zion's hand was trembling.

The recoil of the sniper rifle was really powerful and it wasn't something that a child of Zion's age could handle. Unfortunately, Zion had no other choice at the critical moment just now.

Meanwhile, Zion sensed Nathaniel's gaze and he immediately placed his right hand behind his back before saying faintly, "I guess I should go and have a look at Wisdom."

Having said that, Zion left without noticing the worried expressions on Nathaniel's and Mango's faces.

After Zion entered Wisdom's room, he saw Bettany was examining Wisdom's wound whereas Desmond had already left.

"Zion."

Wisdom turned his head and grinned at him.

Then, Zion nodded as the corners of his mouth twitched, but he didn't smile.

Meanwhile, Bettany had treated Wisdom's wound and she felt that the two brothers needed some space for themselves. When she looked at Zion, so she nodded at Wisdom before leaving.

It was only when Wisdom and Zion were the ones left in the room that Wisdom realized Zion's ghastly pale countenance.

"Zion, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

Zion sat beside Wisdom with a dull look in his eyes.

"You..."

Wisdom reached out and grabbed Zion's hand before he frowned suddenly and asked, "Why are your hands so cold? Your palms are really sweaty too..."

"I just killed someone with a gun."

Zion spoke very calmly, but Wisdom noticed the trace of panic in his voice and eyes.

He killed a person?

Both Zion and Wisdom had never experienced a murder, so they didn't know how it felt deep down. It was no wonder that Zion had such a reaction after doing it not too long ago.

"How about I give you some counselling?"

Then, Zion shook his head and said, "You don't have to as I'll see the psychologist in the military region when I get back. I'm just not used to it."

"No one would get used to it... Why don't you sleep with me tonight?"

"Alright."

Zion didn't refuse Wisdom's request.

On the other hand, Mango looked at Nathaniel and asked, "Is Zion alright?"

"Do you think that he seems fine? He looks quite calm on the surface, but he must have felt traumatized deep down as the terrorist is a human after all. Anyone would feel shocked after firing a gun at a person for the first time. Anyway, I'll ask our captain to let Zion see a psychologist after we return so that he won't have any traumas in the future."
