Evangeline instantly pinched Zion, and the look of bewilderment on her face made him laugh.
"Do you want them to come in and see me like this?"
Evangeline instinctively shook her head as she glanced at Zion's sturdy muscles.
She didn't want anyone to see him like this!
Zion's entire body was hers!
Seeing Evangeline shaking her head, Zion said with a smile, "Bring me my clothes. They're in the closet."
Wisdom had asked someone to buy a few sets of clothes for him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to deal with the wounds easily.
Evangeline quickly found some clothes for him to wear.
However, Zion went out to open the door without buttoning up his shirt.
Several military personnel arrived with a team outside. They noticed his pale face and carefully looked at his upper body while questioning nervously, "Are you harmed, Sir? Have you recently been harmed by someone?"
"No, I was beaten by my father-in-law. He was just trying to test me out before my marriage." Evangeline was embarrassed by Zion's words.
The other party didn't expect that Zion would mention such a shameful thing with a smug look on his face. Hearing this, they couldn't help but be stunned.
Obviously, the onlookers were interested in this situation.
Zion was a celebrity in the military community. Due to his numerous military achievements, he had become a role model in many people's minds.
It was rather uncommon to see someone like him having to put up with his father-in-harsh law's criticism and test in order to marry a woman. It seemed that he was just the same as an ordinary individual.
The bolder soldiers even asked, "Sir, will you send us an invitation when you get married?"
"You won't be able to come to my wedding even if I handed you one. But I'll send the wedding chocolates to the military region and let you all enjoy it when the time comes. Come in. Meet my fiance."
Zion pushed Evangeline to the front as he spoke.
Evangeline's face flushed red, and she felt unsettled.
"Nice to meet you."
Evangeline spoke softly as she opened her mouth.
"Nice to meet you!"
The entire team's voice was loud and clear. They would have startled women that were timider, but it made Evangeline extremely happy.
She felt that all her efforts were worth it as she had been recognized by Zion's comrades-in-arms.
"Alright, that's it. Hurry up and get back to work now."
Zion was aware that they were on a mission, and it wasn't right for him to delay them, so he started chasing them out.
Hearing Zion's words, they did not have any doubt or dissatisfaction and immediately left.
Evangeline finally reacted as soon as Zion shut the door. Previously, she wanted to hide Zion's body from everyone else, right?
Besides, why did Zion want her to find clothes for him when those people had seen his bare chest?
"What the hell are you up to?"
Evangeline felt as if she had never fully comprehended Zion.
Zion grinned. "You'll find out in the future. Are you exhausted? Don't be too stressed about the surgery. The kidney is completely safe now that your mother and brother are here. Believe me when I say there will be no issues."
"Okay."
Evangeline had rejected this operation before, but she knew that Zion did this for her own good. Also, she agreed because she hoped that she could spend the rest of her life with Zion.
Perhaps everyone was selfish in the face of love.
She desired to live a happy life. After all, she wanted to live healthily for the sake of Zion so that they could have a blissful life.
They were about to say anything when someone knocked on the door again. Zion was a little grumpy this time.
