The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1694

Alaia Payne was stunned by Henry's yelling. However, when she saw Henry's angry face, she didn't say anything and just let him pull her away.

Henry was not familiar with this place either. He only knew that he could not bring her back to the vice-captain's side. Otherwise, their location would be exposed. He could only take her in the opposite direction.

It was the first time Alaia had seen Henry getting furious. Although he was usually fierce, he was still kind to her. Now that he was angry, she was actually a little afraid.

Behind them came the sound of sirens, the rumble and vibrations of the plane, and the sound of other security measures.

Henry's heart suddenly tightened.

The reason why these people came so quickly was that they had arranged it beforehand, or were they just passing by coincidentally?

Henry didn't know, but he knew that the other side was in trouble.

He quickly sent a message to the vice-captain and asked them to withdraw immediately. It was best for them to retreat into the deep mountains.

This was an easy task for the Dark Night Empire.

In fact, the team had been learning to survive in the wild. They would only resort to this measure unless it was absolutely necessary. Despite so, Henry didn't expect their identity to be exposed so quickly.

At this time, Alaia realised that she might have made a mistake. She followed behind Henry carefully. However, she did not pay attention to the road and almost fell into the pond. Upon noticing this, Henry hurriedly pulled her up.

"You..."

He was about to scold her again. After seeing her guilt-ridden face, he instantly changed his mind.

"Follow me closely. Remember, you're my sister no matter where you go and who you meet. Do you hear me? Your name is Alaia Payne! Do you understand?"

Alaia instantly raised her head and then nodded.

"Aren't you angry with me?"

Her voice was very low, and there was a trace of guilt in her eyes.

Seeing her like this, what else could Henry say?

"I would not even bring you here if that's the case. Come with me quickly."

She nodded and followed Henry quickly, but her pace were a slightly unsteady.

Henry took her hand and ran for a while. He was surprised when he found that she was already looking exhausted and out of breath.

He remembered that she wasn't that weak during the training sessions.

He turned his head slightly and noticed her pale face. Cold sweat was dripping down from her forehead, and her whole shirt was soaked.

What's going on?

He scanned her from head to toe, only to find that her ankle were sprained and swollen.

He suddenly became angry.

"Are you a fool? Why didn't you tell me when you sprained your ankle? Do you realise that you might injure yourself if we ran a while more?"

"I'm fine. I can still hold on!"

She bit her lower lip and said with determination at the thought of the soldiers that were chasing after them.

Seeing her like this made Henry think of Mango.

Even though she and Mango looked completely different.

"Come on! I'll carry you on my back!"

He quickly squatted down.

Alaia looked at his broad back and suddenly her eyes were a little teary.

"I can hold on!"

"Get up here! Don't let me say it a third time! Unless you want both of us to be arrested!"

Hearing this, she bit her lower lip and climbed onto his back.

Henry quickly carried her on his back, feeling her light-weighted body on him. He couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

"Clung to my neck. I'm going to speed up. Don't fall down."

"Oh."

Because it was the first time that she had such a close contact with a man, her face immediately blushed red.

Henry carried her into the woods. Finally, the pursuers did not chase after them.
