Chapter 650: Another rescue

"I hate you!" She sobbed, picking up another flower from the bouquet on the table and aimed it at his head. With his free hand, he caught it effortlessly while his other hand, heavily bandaged, remained on his side. He blew her a kiss and grinned, "I love you."

"Stop that, Lucifer! Do you have any idea how worried I was? Couldn’t they have arranged for someone else to take Gabe’s place? All I knew was that when I landed here, you were gone..."

Lucien leaned back with a wince and sighed, "Come here, please," he tried coaxed softly, but she shook her head, crossing her arms stubbornly.

"Absolutely not. I’m not falling for that again. You better thank your stars that you’ve come back safely or I would have killed you!"

"That is kind of contradictory, Evana." Seb muttered as he entered the room. Placing the bag in his hand on the table, he said to her," Here, Ian has sent food for you and this little p*ick here. Also, the fact that he almost got himself killed is the least ’troublesome’ thing he has done recently."

Lucien glared at Seb," Hey! Stop trying to rile her up! I’m already injured here, okay?"

Seb turned to Lucien and gave him a genuine smile, his eyes soft even as he looked ready to tease the man. He walked to the man, caught him in a hug, careful not to move his arm and patted his back," I’m glad to have you back. These last two days, looking for you, have been horrible!" At the same time, he slipped something into Lucien’s hand which was quickly hidden away and stepped back.

"And now, I’m off."

Evana waved at Seb, before turning to look at the food. It was better to concentrate on the food. Even though Lucien was relatively unharmed and there was nothing to worry about anymore, she still could feel her insides shiver at the thought of losing him. When he’d been brought to the hospital, unconscious, she’d almost lost her soul.

Seb, however, paused at the door and turned back, calling to her, " Evana?"

Evanageline looked up at Seb then who winked at her," I think you really need to ask him how he got information about Gabe’s location from the pretty nurse and then convinced her to help him... Let me give you a hint- he used his beauty trap..."

While Evana turned to glare at Lucien, Lucien groaned and threw a pillow at Seb, "You ba*tard!" Unfortunately, the pillow never reached Seb, who’s already closed the door behind him.

Lucien turned to look at Evana who was standing there, shocked and sad. Cursing, Lucien quickly explained," Angel! I did not use any beauty trap,okay?"

"Didn’t you? Then how did you find about Gabe?"

"We scanned all the small and big hospitals, okay? The doctor in that behaved oddly so I ent back to check..."

"And you used your beauty trap like you used on me.." Evana completed softly.

Lucien cursed. He had not flirted with the nurse even a bit.. He’d only had to smile at her and explain and the woman had blurted out everything! And he wouldn’t have even spoken to her if not for needing information about Gabe.

"Angel, come here, please." Lucien tried to call her but Evana looked away, and he was sure he heard a sob as she said," I don’t want to."

Seeing that his attempts to coax her weren’t working, Lucien decided to try another approach. "Fine. Don’t come if you don’t believe me." He then groaned, as if in pain,"I’ll just get some water myself. Ahhh..."

As she turned around and saw his face contorted in pain, her resolve waivered and she hurried to him. Grabbing the glass of water, she coaxed him," Just lie down. Why are you so..."

Before she could say more, Lucien had grabbed her by the waist of her jeans and pulled her to him.She stumbled forward, falling into his arms as he held her tightly, his mischievous smile returning.

"Gotcha, angel" he whispered, his breath warm against her ear.

She glared at him, while moving quickly to check his arm, but he simply held her close and she couldn’t help the small smile tugging at her lips as she blamed him, "You tricked me!"

"And I’d do it again just to have you close," he murmured, his eyes softening as he looked at her. "Angel, you know I’d never flirt with anyone but you. My beauty trap only works for you."

Evana looked up at him, before holding him close like she’d yearned to these days, "You idiot. Do you have any idea how scared I was? I thought I lost you." His hand caught hers and she held it close to herself

"I’m sorry, angel. I didn’t mean to make you worry. I just... I had to make sure Gabe was safe."

She sniffed, wiping her tears with the back of her hand. "I understand. And I’m glad that you were able to rescue him. Just promise me you won’t do something so dangerous again."

"I promise. I’ll be more careful, okay? I don’t want my fiance blaming me."

Evangeline rolled her eyes as she looked up at him, " You don’t even have a fiance. Only a girlfriend."

"Uh huh. The ring on your finger says otherwise..."

Evana’s breath hitched as she looked down at the ring glinting on her finger. "Lucifer, what is this?"

"It’s exactly what it looks like, Angel. I know this might not be the most conventional proposal, but after everything we’ve been through, I realized I don’t want to waste another moment. Lets get married soon.

She blinked, tears welling up in her eyes again, "Are you serious?"

"Of course, I am. You think I’d joke about something like this? When I felt that needle go inside me, I realized I had only one regret. That I was not married to you... I don’t that, Angel. When I die, I want my tombstone to read, Angel’s husband."

She cried earnestly now," Don’t say that!"
