The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1928

Zion didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but when he saw the expectation in Evangeline's eyes, he still stopped the car, although he felt that it was too abrupt that the child appeared in front of them and seemed to have been abandoned.

The moment the car stopped, Evangeline quickly unfastened her seat belt, but Zion pulled her.

"What's wrong?"

Evangeline's eyes were filled with doubt.

Zion said in a low voice, "I'll do it. I don't know what's going on with the people below."

Sometimes, it wasn't that people were evil, but that society had changed many people. Zion didn't dare to let Evangeline take the risk.

He asked Evangeline to stay in the car while he got out of the car.

When Zion got closer to the child, he could clearly hear the child's cries. Her voice was heart-wrenching.

He stepped forward and squatted down in front of the child, asking, "Kid, where are your parents?"

"Mom is gone."

The little girl was crying. She was a little scared when she saw Zion. After all, he was wearing a mask now, which was really scary.

Zion took out his phone and called the police.

The police arrived very quickly. During this period of time, Zion had been by the little girl's side. Evangeline got up first and did not get out of the car. Later, when she saw that Zion had no intention of carrying the little girl into the car, she found some food from the car and took it out.

Considering Evangeline's physical condition, Zion asked her to get in the car. As for the little girl, she was always with him.

The little girl was also hungry. When she saw the food, she thanked him and then wolfed down the food. She looked polite and educated.

While Zion was waiting, he chatted with the little girl for a while longer. He learned that the little girl had a mother and a father, as well as a brother who had just moved in.

"What do you mean by staying at home recently?”

This made Zion a little curious.

The little girl was a little full. She sobbed and said, "I haven't seen him before. My mother said that my father liked his son, so she took my brother home. Today, my mother said that she came out with me to buy clothes for my brother, but I was separated from my mother."

Maybe she was not separated by accident...

Zion had already thought about it.

When the police arrived, Zion cooperated with the police and told them about it. The police heard the names and phone numbers of the little girl's parents, but the little girl didn't remember them.

"Sir, I'm afraid this is a little difficult. Why don't you go back with us to make a

statement?"

Zion frowned slightly, looked at Evangeline, who was anxious in the car, and finally nodded.

He saw that the little girl was a little resistant and timid to the police. Her little hands tightly grabbed his trouser legs, and her pitiful look was like an abandoned kitten.

Zion's heart suddenly softened.

"I'll carry her."

Zion bent down to pick up the little girl and got into the car.

Evangeline saw that the little girl was so cold that her face turned purple. She immediately turned on the heating in the car and said, "Let me carry her. You drive."

"Okay."

Zion gave the child to Evangeline.

The little girl looked at Evangeline. She was a little timid, but she didn't struggle. She just let her hug her and didn't say a word. She was very quiet.

"Let's go home."

Hearing Zion's voice, Evangeline raised her head slightly and said with curved eyebrows, "All is good?"

"Yes."

"This child is very obedient and a little sensitive. Generally speaking, this kind of child lives very carefully at home. And I just saw that there were some injuries on the child's body, probably because she was abused. When you went to handle the procedures, I had already reported it to the police. I really don't dare to imagine that someone would cruelly hurt such a young child."

Evangeline's face became more serious, with a trace of heartache.

In fact, Zion had already thought of it. The reason why he didn't say it was because he was afraid that Evangeline would feel uncomfortable, but he didn't expect that she still saw it.

Zion had also told the police about this possibility when he was handling the procedures. He didn't expect that Evangeline had already reported the case.

"Well, let's take her home first. Don't catch a cold."

"Yes."

Zion took the initiative to pick up the child, followed by Evangeline.

The wind outside was a little strong. Zion took off his coat and wrapped it around his child.

Evangeline's heart skipped a beat when she saw how careful and gentle Zion was.

Such a gentle and careful man... She should be able to rely on him for the rest of her life, right?

There was a hint of tenderness in her eyes. Then, she got into the car and took the child from Zion's hand.

When Zion drove back, he deliberately walked around the place where he met the child just now, but he didn't see any adult who was looking for the child.

If the child was really lost, shouldn't the mother come back to look for her? So maybe his guess was right. The little girl was simply abandoned! Looking at the sleeping child, Zion felt an indescribable heaviness in his heart for the first time.
