"What happened?" Mango had been awoken by the commotion outside so she'd stepped out and asked around, only to find that the noise originated from Edolie's room. Hence, she was so frightened that she made her way there quickly.? She would've ignored it normally, but she couldn't afford to have anything happen to Edolie right now.? Just as Mango asked this question, Zion burst into tears. "Mommy, I've been bullied by a nasty woman!" Zion's voice startled Mango as she quickly pushed through the crowd to find that Zion's face was swollen. Then, Mango's expression changed.? "Who the hell did this?" She had always been reluctant to hit her son ever since he was born, but who had the gall to hit him so badly? Nathaniel's heart ached when he saw Mango coming. "Mango, leave this matter to me. You can head back first." It was only then that Mango realized that both Nathaniel and Madam Ye were present. Moreover, Madam Ye's eyes he
"Of course not!" Mango hurriedly retorted. How could that be possible? It deeply disgusted Mango to promise to give Nathaniel to Edolie for three months, but agreeing to let Edolie sleep with Nathaniel? She would be an idiot if she agreed.? Mango's answer obviously pleased Nathaniel, but his expression was still grim.? "Do you think I wouldn't fall for her after we spend three months together?" "What do you mean?" Mango was confused as hell.? It couldn't be, right?? What did Nathaniel mean? Was it possible that he was starting to become interested in Edolie? Hence, Mango's heart skipped a beat as she saw Nathaniel's expressionless face. She had no idea what was going through his mind right now.? "Nathaniel, you wouldn't..." "Didn't I fall in love with you only after we got married? Feelings take time, you know?" Nathaniel was quite uncomfortable with the idea that Mango had traded him away like an objec
Both of them kept going for a while until Nathaniel couldn't take it anymore. Then, he put Zion down onto the ground.? However, Zion still wanted to continue playing with Nathaniel, but he stopped when he saw Nathaniel's pale face. He worriedly asked, "Mr. Ye, are you all right?" "Get me a glass of water." Right now, Nathaniel was rather annoyed.? He couldn't even properly enjoy some playtime with his son due to his body's current condition. Hence, it seemed like he needed to get better as soon as possible. Then, Zion hurriedly went to get some water for Nathaniel, but he was still quite worried.? "Mr. Ye, did I hurt you just now?" He handed the glass of hot water to Nathaniel with a guilty expression on his face.? Then, Nathaniel stroked Zion's head as he smiled and said, "No, I just got too carried away. How about we go to the gym together after I've recovered?" "Okay! Don't worry, I'll make sure to train you so well that you'd be
Mango got up and walked away when she took the call because there were some things she didn't want to discuss in front of the children. Hence, she wanted to protect them just in case anything went awry.? "What's wrong, Uncle?" Mango nodded towards Madam Ye before she left the ward.? Madam Ye knew who was the caller the moment Mango addressed him as Uncle, but Zion was rather confused.? "Grandma, when did Mommy have an uncle?" "Well, you actually have more relatives than you think you do. They're your mom's relatives, so in turn, they are yours too. I'll take you to visit them when we have the time." Madam Ye didn't really know how to explain the truth to the children as it was far too complicated. Furthermore, Mango didn't really have the time to handle the whole affair properly as well.? After everything was settled, she would definitely bring the kids to meet their relatives.? "Oh, okay." Zion didn't ask any further and he continu
Mr. Shen sighed when he saw that Mango was still unwilling to tell the truth. "Do you like Nathaniel that much? Are you willing to sacrifice both the happiness of you and your children?" "No dad, I'm not facing any problems with the Ye Family. What on Earth have you heard?" Mango felt like this misunderstanding was quite serious indeed.? Just by looking at Nathaniel's disregard for his own life in order to save her, there was no way that she would be living unhappily with the Ye Family. However, Mr. Shen shook his head and said, "Don't lie to me. Although I'm old, I'm not blind. Look at both you and Zion's swollen faces!?I won't believe it when you tell me nothing's wrong! How dare the Ye Family hit you both? They've crossed the line! Since you have ties to the Hans Family,?I'm willing to seek them out for help in this matter. Let's see if they'll get involved when their daughter's been abused!" Mango finally understood what Mr. Shen had meant.? Then
Needless to say, Nathaniel was rather shocked.? "You... " "Be a good boy and stop fussing about!" After Mango kissed Nathaniel, she stroked his head and she smiled as she rose to make him something to eat.? Then, the corner of Nathaniel's mouth twitched. Who did she take him for? Zion? Or Rita? Was she overwhelmed by her maternal instincts? To think that she treated him as if she were comforting a child! Thus, Nathaniel still wanted to say something else but Mango had already left. However, Nathaniel couldn't help but smile as he looked at Mango's retreating figure. The kiss lingered on his forehead, ever so gentle and loving.? Then, he touched his forehead softly as a silly grin spread across his face.? When Thomas entered, he was perplexed when he saw Nathaniel's silly expression. After that, he cleared his throat to let Nathaniel know that he'd arrived.? "Ahem, Mr. Ye." Nathaniel's expression s
"Rainie!" Mango quickly ran over and she saw Rainie huddled in the corner with a glazed-over look in her eyes and she shook like an abandoned child.?? Her gaze was usually very tough,?but now she seemed as fragile as glass.? Then, Mango hugged her tightly but Rainie pushed her away. In fact, it seemed that Rainie had withdrawn into herself so she couldn't feel or hear anything.? Right now, Rainie seemed like a fragile doll as she held back her tears. "Rainie, I'm sorry I'm late! It's me, Mango!" Just as Mango approached Rainie once again, Rainie suddenly opened her mouth and clamped down hard on Mango's arm. "Mrs. Ye!" "Stay away! I'm fine!" Mango stopped Thomas from approaching them as she allowed Rainie to bite her. Meanwhile, Rainie seemed to be venting all of her fear and anxiety in that one bite.? Then, the faint scent of blood wafted into Rainie's mouth and that jarred her back to her senses.? After that, she sudde
During the journey back to the Central Hospital, Thomas considerately put on some slow music that sounded very calming.? Hence, Rainie's mood slowly steadied under the soft beats of the song.? She couldn't help but glance at Thomas?sideways.? Thomas was a very average looking man. His facial features weren't very striking, but he was quite pleasant to look at and he radiated a comforting aura.? Usually, Rainie never really paid attention to him but now she found that Thomas had an exceptional quality about him.? "What's your education background?" Rainie couldn't help but ask.? Meanwhile, Thomas was a little surprised before he replied off-handedly, "I have a double master's degree." "A double Master's? You have such a high qualification, and yet you're working as Nathaniel's assistant? Don't you think that's a waste?" Rainie was just an ordinary college graduate, so a master's degree was an amazing achievement to her. She alw
