Chapter 113

Deterd taken bis eyes off Evangeline since he got out of the helicopter.

Aher stepping of the ladder and preparing to approach Evangeline, he raned br foot but then hesitated and stopped.

He turned his head and said something to Wesley beside him. Wesley nodded slightly, picked up his phone, and quickly

e cameras amund Evangeline were shut down

Meanwhile, Evangeline had already walked towards him. “What are you doing here. Dexter Evangeline stopped in front of

Since the returned to the Gallagher residence a year ago, she hadn’t seen him. He looked more mature and taller now.

He was even taller than her, star gat 5.5 feet. He was much shorter than her before he turned twelve, but he grew rapidly afterward and ended up much taller.

She had tried supernatural methods to stop him from growing taller, like accidentally stepping over him or holding an umbrella indoors, but none of it worked.

With a smile on his face, Dexter reached out and hugged her, saying in a hoarse voice, “I missed you, Eva”

Evangeline reached out and patted him on the back. “Don’t you think I smell? I haven’t taken a shower in days”

He had a subtle and alluring scent of fresh grass on him.

Evangeline was embarrassed by his comparison.

Dexter held her more tightly and said, “I love whatever you smell like.”

The white tiger also ran over and kept circling around them

Evangeline pushed Dexter away. However, he held her hand as clingy as when they were children.

Evangeline glanced at the white tiger who was circling happily and asked, “Why did you bring him to the forest?”

When she defeated the white tiger, she asked Arthur to send it to Dexter.

She hoped Dexter could find a suitable shelter for the white tiger, so he wouldn’t have to fight humans anymore. She also didn’t want him to be captured for genetic research and used to create more tigers like him;

She didn’t expect Dexter to send the white tiger into the forest.

Dexter explained, “Keeping him would cost a lot, so I had him earn his living. I sold him for 50 million dollars to the behind–the–scenes sponsors of the production team. This money is enough to support him for the rest of his life.”

Evangeline asked, “What? You made him earn his living and you’re taking him back, right?”

Dexter said, “Leaving him in the forest would destroy the ecological balance.

“A beast of his size has almost no natural predators in the wild. If he was left in the forest, other creatures would have a hard time surviving.

“Besides, he was raised by humans and is accustomed to living with them. If left in the forest, he might go to human habitats

and cause harm.

Evangeline was stunned. She never thought about that. Hearing Dexter’s words, she agreed that the white tiger was not suited to life in the wild.

He might make it difficult for other creatures to survive, but more importantly, he had eaten people before and was still interested in humans.

When he was in the forest, he had several urges to eat people.

If she hadn’t stopped him, he would have already eaten them.

If he was left in the forest, he was likely to leave and seek out places where there were humans.

Just kill him if you don’t like him.” Dexter turned to Wesley and said, “Have someone kill him, Wesley”

Hearing this, the white tiger, who was happily circling, let out a disgruntled grumble and turned away, presenting its back to them. It began angrily digging a hole, clearly disappointed in them.

Evangeline said, “Take him back. Maybe we can make money with it in the future

The white tiger instantly got happy with tears in his eyes. He was glad that she still cared about him.

Soon, another two helicopters arrived. One of them was for passengers and the other for cargo.

Marian and Riley got into the passenger one, while the white tiger was put on the cargo one.

The white tiger was kept in an iron cage to keep him from hurting anyone.

The white tiger was unwilling to enter the cage at the very beginning. However, seeing Evangeline’s cold glance at him, he got into it obediently.

Dexter took Evangeline by the hand and got into the helicopter.

After flying for several hours, they finally landed on the rooftop of a five–star hotel in the city.

Evangeline and Dexter got off the helicopter and went to the presidential suite on the top floor.

Dexter said, “Go take a shower. I’ll ask Wesley to go to the hotel you stayed before and bring your luggage here.”

Evangeline nodded and went into the bathroom. During those days in the forest, she had wiped herself with tissue a few times but never had a proper shower. She felt like she must smell awful.

She brushed her teeth three times, washed her hair five times, and took a shower for one hour. Finally, she felt refreshed. Her luggage was brought back before she had finished her shower. Dexter left a pajama for her by the bathroom door.

Evangeline took another ten minutes of shower. Only when she felt thoroughly clean did she open the bathroom door, reach out to grab her pajamas, and put them on.

While she was drying her hair, Dexter came over and took the dryer from her. “Let me help you.”

Evangeline handed him the hairdryer and looked at themselves in the mirror.

She asked, “How have you grown ev

growth–suppressing medication?”

even taller since the last time I saw you? Is something wrong? Do you need to take some

Dexter raised his head and looked at her in the mirror. Then he said with a faint smile, “Are you jealous of my height? Ever since I got taller than you, you’ve been trying to keep me from growing

“I’m not Evangeline denied it at once.

1517 Hi, Aug 23

Fri, Aug 23 00·

Dexter continued. To you think I don’t know what you’ve done You kept stepping over me at night and holding an umbrella over me You didn’t want me to grow taller?

Evangeline rubbed her nose and said, “How did you know that? And why did you never tell me?”

Dester said. “There was nothing negative about what you did to me, but you know what? Regularly getting up in the middle of the night can lead to a lack of sleep, which in turn stifles growth. You were hurting yourself.

You used to mock me for being shorter when we were kids, so of course, I didn’t want you to end up taller than me. Why would I tell you this?”

Evangeline turned around and punched him. “I treat you as my younger brother. Why would you hold a grudge against me over something so trivial?”

Dexter held her fists, tilting his body slightly to make her lose her strength.

Stunned, Evangeline asked, “Have you recovered? Do you want a friendly sparring match? Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Dexter glanced at her and said in a low voice, “No. I’m weak. I can’t defeat you.”

Evangeline asked awkwardly, “Did you hear that?”

Dexter shook his head and said, “No, I didn’t, but I read your lips

Evangeline was speechless. Dexter had undergone medicine resistance training before her, and he planned to compere after the training.

Unfortunately, after receiving the injection, he had a severe allergic reaction. His body not only failed to produce antibodies but also suffered serious damage. That was why she underwent the same training.

Thinking of this, Evangeline was a little worried about his health. She grabbed his wrist and said, “Let me have a check”
