Chapter 460 Fighting Side by Side, Protecting Him Completely!
Everyone looked up at the sky in unison, all stunned.
If a goddess were descending to earth, it would be Evelyn!
In that moment of their astonishment, Evelyn's beautiful eyes turned fierce. She loaded her gun and fired three shots at Lloyd!
Missed? Try again!
Evelyn was now seeing red, determined not to stop until Lloyd was dead. She kept firing at him relentlessly!
The recoil from the Desert Eagle was too much for a girl, but Evelyn held the gun steadily, her movements professional, clearly showing she had received training.
Unfortunately, her aim was off, and she didn't hit the target even once.
Lloyd dodged through the jungle with agility!
"Ulysses! Can you get any lower? It's still too far!" Evelyn shouted to Ulysses, who was piloting the plane, her brows furrowed.
"This is as low as it gets! Any lower and we'll crash!"
Ulysses was flying at the limit, drenched in cold sweat from the constant gunfire, his heart pounding in his throat. "Evelyn! Are you kidding me? Who told you to show yourself? Get back here!"
"No! I want them to know what happens when they mess with me!" Evelyn's eyes were bloodshot with hatred as she fired another shot, hitting an assassin.
Edward's eyes narrowed, his gaze fixed on her, his nerves taut, but his blood boiling with excitement.
He was both captivated by her heroic demeanor and worried for her safety.
He regretted not being able to protect her immediately, his fingers tingling with tension, his heart clenched tight!
"I should never have listened to you and brought you here! This is the stupidest thing I've ever done!" Ulysses was on the verge of tears with regret.
He had no choice but to turn the plane around, preparing to forcibly extract Evelyn.
In his eyes, nothing was more important than Evelyn's safety!
But Evelyn wouldn't give him the chance. She seized the moment, let go of the ladder, and leaped!
"Evelyn!" Ulysses' heart pounded wildly, his face turning pale!
The rushing wind enveloped her, whipping past her ears.
In that moment of her jump, her mind went blank.
She only wanted to be by Edward's side, to fight alongside him, to face life and death together.
Just like on the battlefield in Liberland, Edward fought fiercely with terrorists to cover her escape.
Now, she wanted to protect him with the same selfless determination, never leaving his side!
In an instant, Evelyn's breath caught in her chest, her eyes misty, as if waking from a dream.
In truth, Edward had never owed her anything.
Thirteen years ago, he saved her young life.
On the battlefield in Liberland, he helped her escape death.
Though she had also fought to bring him back to camp, without him, she wouldn't have had a chance.
Three years of a failed marriage seemed insignificant in the face of life and death.
What could be more important than life? Than survival?
Without Edward, there would be no Evelyn today!
As her thoughts churned, her body plummeted like a shooting star, nearing the ground.
"Evelyn!"
Edward's heart nearly burst with panic!
In that moment, he forgot the searing pain of his wounds, rushing forward with unyielding determination, catching his beloved Evelyn in his arms.
The gunshot wound in his left shoulder tore open as he held her, blood soaking through his black shirt.
Yet he felt no pain, only relief that he had caught her, smiling genuinely from the heart.
He remembered how, as a child, when he got hurt or had to get a shot, Amanda would give him a piece of candy, and the pain would disappear.
Now, Evelyn was his candy. Holding her, he could endure anything.
Evelyn, in Edward's embrace, smelled the heavy scent of blood on him, heard his labored breathing, and her heart ached, hot tears falling onto his heaving chest.
"Liar! Fool! Why did you come alone? You could have died!" she choked out, trembling as she hit him.
"Sorry, Evelyn." Edward held her tightly, his hand gently caressing the back of her neck, his eyes filled with helpless indulgence. "But I was afraid you'd follow me, afraid you'd get hurt."
"Afraid of this, afraid of that, aren't you afraid I'd worry about you?" Evelyn clutched his shirt, her voice breaking.
Edward was stunned, a powerful surge of emotion coursing through him, his eyes moistening.
He had never considered that, because he knew he wasn't worthy.
But now wasn't the time for sentiment. In the next second, Edward turned to shield Evelyn, raising the captured assault rifle to eliminate the assassins in front of them.
Evelyn, not to be outdone, stood back-to-back with him, shooting down the assassins behind them!
In a daze, Edward's heart jolted, a familiar name flashing through his mind—Elaine!
Back in Liberland, he had fought alongside a girl in a white coat, breaking through enemy lines.
Though they never met again, Edward never forgot her, considering her a lifelong comrade.
He thought he'd never see Elaine again.
But why did Evelyn remind him so much of his savior, Elaine?
"Lloyd's getting away! Let's go after him!"
Evelyn saw Lloyd running into the dark jungle and shouted, following him.
"Evelyn! Don't run off, it's dangerous!"
Edward tried to follow, but his vision darkened, his tall frame swaying, nearly collapsing!
He felt a chilling cold spread through his body, sapping his strength.
Gritting his teeth, he forced himself to follow Evelyn, leaving a trail of blood soaking into the earth.
