Heartthrob: The vampire princess doesn't want to be a stand-in

Chapter 175 Internal and external troubles

Vincent considered his words carefully. Looking at Evelyn like this, he had no way of saying, "If he could be alive, he would have woken up a long time ago."

Evelyn's eager eyes were so pitiful.

"Really? Then let's wait a little longer."

Evelin lowered her eyes to look at Jin Yingming and muttered to herself.

Vincent just nodded. He couldn't give an accurate answer.

Because this was just something he said casually to comfort Evelin.

"Your Highness, this is just an ancient legend. The conditions that need to be met to succeed are very strict..."

Enzo couldn't help but speak when he saw Evelin's appearance, and Vincent suddenly shot him a cold look.

Enzo shut his mouth wisely and pretended to be busy with something.

"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"

Seeing the light of hope in Evelin's eyes shattered and tears welling up again, Vincent angrily scolded Enzo.

Evelin, whom he had finally coaxed into crying, was made to cry again by just one sentence from him.

"sorry."

Enzo lowered his eyes, looking a little embarrassed.

He was also embarrassed for making Evelyn cry.

The helicopter was flying very fast. It soon crossed the border of the Underworld and gradually flew towards the north of Carter Continent.

There were no more threats or dangers along the way, and everyone on the helicopter breathed a sigh of relief.

Evelyn was in a quiet and warm environment, and the fatigue and pain in her body disappeared.

Maybe she was tired of crying, or maybe she was really exhausted, she just stared at Jin Yingming and slowly fell asleep in Vincent's arms.

About two or three hours later, the helicopter landed directly on the Lan family's private helipad.

Garland, Huo Wanqing, Huo Anzhi and others had arrived at the Lan family two hours ahead of them.

Due to the sudden attack by the enemy, the Lan family had no time to build up defenses, and many research materials and doctors were buried in the bombing.

Garland may have reached his limit, and because of the sudden incident, he was a little anxious.

All the viruses that were suppressed in his body broke out in an instant, and he fell into a deep coma after getting on the helicopter.

Huo Wanqing just felt that such an opportunity was rare. Evelyn and Garland had a rift because of Huo Youshan's death.

Garland was critically ill at this moment, and Evelyn was not around.

She seized the opportunity and stayed by Garland's side to take care of him.

Before this, Garland held a meeting to discuss with everyone what would happen if he really collapsed one day.

This matter must not be made public. First, as a monarch, he governs the Northern Continent.

If it gets out to the public, people will panic.

There are also people with ulterior motives who spread rumors that the Lan family disregarded the lives of the people and returned with the unsolvable LE virus.

Perhaps more unreasonable things will happen.

Besides, there are too many people out there who are ready to make some moves.

Even though Evelin was a new official, she burned out many people's thoughts with one blow.

However, everyone in the world knew that Evelyn's backer was Garland.

If they learned of Garland's downfall, Evelyn would probably be in unprecedented danger.

In short, as long as the news that Garland was infected with the LE virus spread, the Lan family would indeed be in an embarrassing situation of internal and external troubles.

Huo Anzhi was still concerned about Huo Youshan, but Garland was in a coma, and no one could help him even if he was anxious.

Oli has been in the Northern Continent, temporarily taking charge of all matters of the Lan family on behalf of Garland.

All preparations had been made early on at the Lan family, and a part of the Lan family's underground air-raid shelter had been converted into a research institute.

This is so that if one day, Garland really returns to his country for treatment.

No matter which hospital, even the Lan family’s own hospital, there is a huge risk of being exposed.

So from the moment he learned that Garland was infected with the LE virus, Oli had already ordered his men to secretly return to the research institute.

Vincent carried the sleeping Evelyn off the helicopter and stepped into the Lan family's house. Everything was the same as usual.

The servants were hurrying around, each busy with their own tasks, and everything was in order.

However, it is obvious that the number of guards in the entire Lanburg has increased several times.

Patrols were changed from once every five hours to once every hour.

There are more cameras and infrared rays than before, and a sentry post has been added at the entrance.

All security personnel are equipped with large and small guns and ammunition, and monitor all movements around the Lan family 24 hours a day without interruption.

Vincent shook his head, thinking that the person who gave such an order was not very smart.

Such large-scale surveillance and actions are just a way to tell others that something big has happened in the Lan family.

Afraid that others don’t know.

But he remained silent, even though the relationship between the Si family and the Lan family had eased because of Evelin.

After all, they are rivals in love, so he is unwilling to interfere in matters concerning the Lan family and Garland.

Unless it can endanger Evelyn.

"arrive?"

As soon as Vincent put Evelyn on her bed, Evelyn's eyelashes fluttered and she opened her red and swollen eyes.

"Got home."

Vincent leaned down and nodded softly.

But in his heart he regretted that he should have been holding Evelin.

In that case, Evelin might be able to sleep a little longer.

"Where's my brother? The news of his return to the Northern Continent should have been blocked immediately."

Evelin had a splitting headache, rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up straight.

"He's ill and should be treated at the research institute."

Vincent spoke in a somewhat unpleasant tone when he heard that Evelyn only cared about Garland as soon as she woke up.

"What!?"

When Evelin heard this, she suddenly woke up, threw off the quilt, got out of bed and ran to the underground research institute.

"Be careful, the wound has just been treated and it's about to split open again!"

Vincent sighed secretly and followed Evelin to remind her.

"Thank you, Vincent."

After Vincent finished speaking, Evelin lowered her eyes and looked at the large and small bandages wrapped around her body, and even changed her clothes into clean ones.

She just felt that she owed Vincent too much, and a simple thank you was too light.

But apart from a thank you, she couldn't give Vincent what he wanted.

"Say that again."

Vincent pretended to be angry. He hated hearing Evelyn say thank you to him the most.

In his heart, he thought everything he did for Evelin was what he should do.

And Evelin always liked to say thank you to him, and these two words always made him feel that they distanced him from Evelin.

The two of them were too unfamiliar.

Rather, he couldn't accept Lilith's face in his heart, so he said thank you to him politely and apologetically.
