Chapter 1429

After the chaos, amidst the charred remains of a forest that had weathered a bombing, only Evan and Gianna remained, accompanied by the distant whirring of two helicopters.

“Go on, leave,” Evan urged.

Gianna stood frozen, her voice a stranded whisper when she finally spoke. “Evan, remember when you said if you didn’t make it back from the Area Opaca, I should just find someone and settle down? Now that you’re out, do you still feel the same?”

Before, Gianna’s words were always laced with a tentative hope, never daring to confess outright.

But now, she shed her reservations, laying her heart bare before Evan.

Evan fet out a heavy sigh, his face a mask of resignation. “I’m a descendant of the Gregorys. Once Yates figures that out, he won’t stop until I’m in his grasp.”

He knew well the ruthless nature of Xavier, who would undoubtedly betray Evan’s identity to Yates at the first opportunity. And with Yates on their trail, Gianna would have no future with him.

As Evan grappled with his thoughts, Gianna reached out, her hand pale and trembling, and seized his wrist. Her eyes were earnest as she gazed at him. “Don’t worry about dragging me down. I chose this. Whatever comes our way, I’m ready.”

Her affection for Evan had deepened over the years, grown so strong that she would follow him into the abyss if he but asked.
