The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1816

Wisdom gave Zion the spoon in his hand as he gazed at him. He humbly stated, "Do it. I'm sure you can murder me even with this spoon."

"You are my brother!"

Zion was depressed and tried to restrain his emotions. However, his outraged yell showed how helpless and powerless he felt.

Wisdom suddenly felt a lump in his throat.

He shifted his gaze outside and looked at the weather. Even though the sun was shining brightly, he felt depressed.

Zion was overprotective of his family. In fact, everyone in the family wanted to offer him the best because he wasn't Nathaniel and Mango's biological son.

But what did Wisdom do?

Wisdom looked down upon himself.

"I'll track down Evangeline's kidney and deliver it over as quickly as possible. I promise that her surgery won't be delayed."

Zion nibbled his lower lip and said, "I've always believed in your abilities and connections. However, you know that isn't what I want to hear from you."

"Do you want to know something about me and Maren?"

Wisdom said this on purpose so that Zion understood that he had seen through his ruse.

Zion didn't disguise his rage because they grew up together and were well aware of each other's personalities. He nodded directly as he heard Wisdom's comments.

"Yes, I'm interested to know. What does Maren mean to you? Aren't you together with Kate? You like her, right? But did you just betray your family to help out Maren? Does this imply that you like her instead?"

Wisdom expressed his dissatisfaction with the remark by shaking his head. He tried to numb himself with cigarettes but couldn't get rid of the noxious odour. Hence, he decided to take some gum out of his pocket and chew it slowly.

Zion didn't rush him.

Perhaps he needed some silence.

He believed that Wisdom would say something when the latter asked him out, but he couldn't force him to do that.

Wisdom finally calmed down after eating three pieces of chewing gum in a row.

He whispered, "Maren and I have no feelings for each other. It's just that she saved my life, and I owe her a favour."

"Wisdom, you are a doctor. What do you mean by saying that she said your life?"

Zion felt that Wisdom had not been totally honest with him.

Well, he had spent all of his life in a military region, and he had only thought about safeguarding the country. He had never been concerned about his family before. Hence, he blamed himself and felt guilty when he heard what Wisdom had said.

Wisdom said with a wave of his hand, "Don't overthink things. I was not in any immediate danger. After all, you're in more danger whenever you undertake missions in the military region. I travelled to Swovenia to volunteer, but I was attacked by terrorists. A terrorist was injured at the moment, and they had been on the lookout for a doctor who could help them. They caught me because they knew I was a doctor."

Wisdom paused for a moment, as if he didn't want to recall the scenario at the time. However, he was forced to and it made him uneasy.

Zion knew about this.

Although terrorists would keep hostages, doctors would be the best captives if one of the terrorists were injured during that time.

Moreover, Wisdom had also suffered from terrorist attacks on several occasions during his visit to Swovenia. Back then, he was younger, and he could not resist when confronted with such a situation. However, he was an adult now, and he was highly capable of defending himself. If he had been kidnapped now, this meant that he had done this on purpose.
