"Dad! Think about it carefully. If you keep beating him up, Evangeline might really get angry and ignore you. What if she doesn't want to hold the wedding anymore and runs away with Zion? You'll be devastated then, won't you?"
Upon hearing what Calvin had to say, Eugene suddenly stopped his movement.
Zion took the opportunity to glance at Calvin. He would accept this brother-in-law of his!
"Get lost and have a rest."
Eugene threw the whip in anger.
However, Zion said lightly, "I can't rest. I have to fly back later. I've already told my brother, and we found a suitable kidney for her. Evangeline will undergo an operation tomorrow."
"What?"
Eugene was a little shocked.
"How can it be so easy to find a suitable kidney? Besides, if you really love my daughter, you can give her back her kidney. Why is it so troublesome?"
Zion looked at Eugene and said, "I can't give it back to her because it's too risky. Although her kidney may be the best match, it has been in harmony with my body for more than half a year and has no signs of rejection. It may not be a good thing if I give it back to her. Thus, it's better to give her a fresh kidney source. Besides, I'm afraid of death now."
"What did you just say?"
Eugene thought he had misheard.
Zion was afraid of death?
He had been in those military regions and involved in dangerous missions, but he had never seen Zion being afraid of death. What was happening now?
Zion looked at Eugene's surprised expression and said with a smile, "Yes, I'm afraid of death. I didn't think that my life belonged to Evangeline before. However, I have to live well now and make sure that she will be happy for the rest of her life."
"You're really good with your words. Your father is not like you."
Although Eugene said so, his eyes and expression softened a lot.
"Ask Eugene to apply some medicine on you and leave quickly. Also, I'll deal with something and go with you."
After saying that, Eugene walked out.
Calvin hurried forward to help Zion up.
In fact, Zion was seriously injured.
Calvin knew what it felt like to be beaten up with a whip, so he admired how Zion had endured the whole ordeal quietly.
"My dear brother in-law, you must protect me in the future."
Calvin said silently, but Zion was touched upon how Calvin had addressed him as 'brother in-law'.
"Okay. I can always help you as long as you don't cause too much trouble." "Thank you, my brother-in-law." Then, Calvin helped Zion back to the guest room.
He had to slow down a little even if he wanted to go back desperately.
Eugene called a doctor to check up on him. By that time, Zion had fainted from the excruciating pain.
When Emberly heard that Zion had arranged a suitable kidney source for Evangeline, she decided to go back with him. Eugene wanted to go with them too, but she rejected him.
"You are not only our father, but also the head of this country. There are too many things to settle in the family. Besides, have you thought about your daughter's marriage? This is a big deal."
Although Eugene was a little dissatisfied, he still listened to his wife. However, Calvin wanted to go back with Zion.
Meanwhile, Evangeline couldn't get through to Eugene. She found Ariel standing outside when she was about to leave the room. Seeing this, she couldn't help but pause.
"Why are you here?"
"Zion asked me to protect you."
Aziel said with neither humility nor arrogance. Even if Zion knew that she was a girl, she still dressed androgynously.
Evangeline nodded and said, "Did Zion go to my house?"
"Yes."
Ariel's answer made Evangeline a little depressed.
What a bastard!
How dare he plot against her?
"Why did he go abck?"
"He only said that he would go back to prepare for the marriage proposal. I don't know anything else."
Hearing this, Evangeline's heart fluttered.
However, shouldn't both of them prepare for the marriage proposal together?
