Hearing her mother's emphasis, Zion knew that Evangeline's status in the family would definitely surpass him in the future. However, as a man, he felt that it was not bad for his woman to get valued by his mother.
"Mom, uncle Eugene and aunt Emberly still don't know about this. You'd better tell them."
Mango looked like she was going to beat this brat to death.
"You know the temper of them, so you intend to let me help you get rid of their anger, don't you?"
"That's not right. I'll take responsibility for my things. I'll just accept if Eugene wants to beat me or scold me. However, I'm afraid that it will affect the relationship between you and aunt Emberly."
Hearing this, Mango couldn't help sighing and said, "Silly son, even if you bully Evangeline, Emberly and Eugene will feel distressed for a long time, especially when it comes to kidney donation. You haven't become a father yet, so you don't know how much parents love their children. It's hard to say whether they'll fall out with you. But you've now identified Evangeline as your future wife, so you must treat her well for the rest of your life, understand?"
"Got it, Mom."
After Zion hung up the phone, he thought about other things and walked out.
He went to the nearby supermarket to buy some fruit. Remembering what he had said to Evangeline, he looked at the strawberries.
Well, it was still fresh, but it might not be good to take it now.
Zion didn't buy any strawberries and returned to the hospital with other fruits.
Sissaye had already woken up. When Carlson told her that she was poisoned, has been hypnotized to jump off the building and was saved by Evangeline, she was terribly silent.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became somewhat oppressive.
When Zion entered the room, almost everyone's eyes were on him, including Sissaye.
Sissaye looked at Zion with a complicated expression.
Would Zion think that she had done it on purpose?
Sissaye felt very uncomfortable in her heart, and her eyes became a lot more hazy. A stream of water vapor lingered in her eyes.
However, Zion acted as if he didn't see anyone else's gaze. He walked up to Sissaye and handed her the fruit.
"Take it, it's your favorite."
Sissaye's tears immediately fell.
She hugged Zion and cried silently.
Zion was at a loss, but he didn't push Sissaye away.
He understood that Sissaye was very upset now.
"Alright, you're already an adult and you're still crying? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others? Also, this embrace of mine belongs to your future sister-in-law. I'll lend it to you for the time being, but it's only temporary. Don't think about the next time."
Zion's words made Sissaye a little depressed. She wanted to hug him tightly but felt that this behaviour was too childish. She couldn't help but let go of him. Then, she rolled her eyes at him and said, "Zion, when did you become so petty?"
"It depends. Hugging is not allowed in the future. But are you feeling better?"
Sissaye looked at Zion with usual eye contact and could not help feeling a little wronged.
"I don't know why I got tricked. Zion, I'm sorry for making you worry."
Zion looked at Sissaye as if a sad child that had made a mistake. He couldn't help patting her shoulder and saying, "Sissaye, your identity is different. Be more careful in the future." "Ok."
Seeing Sissaye's obedience to Zion, Benjamin felt miserable.
In the end, he still couldn't become Sissaye's apple of the eye, could he?
He walked out lonely.
