Mango let out a sigh at this thought.
She was getting annoyed because all these incidents were piling up.
How she wished she could leave behind everything and spend some time with Nathaniel alone!
"Is Henry still there?"
"Yeah, he's over here, but he's in charge of escorting Laney. I've heard from Ned that a helicopter has been arranged to send off Laney later at night."
Carmel reported dutifully.
Then, Mango replied in a low voice, "Tell Henry to board the plane together to Angolla. Since Lebanon gave us a few visas, he can bring along several men there and contact Nathaniel's men in Angolla. After all, I don't want anything to happen halfway during the handover, and we can't allow anyone to abduct Laney halfway."
"Okay, let me arrange it then."
Then, Carmel left the room, so Mango stood up and went upstairs.
After all, Mango knew that things would get busy around dinnertime tonight.
She got herself changed and gave a call to Lebanon personally. After all, she needed to tell him that it would be better for his subordinates to disguise themselves as Nathaniel's men if they wanted to take Laney away.
Lebanon agreed to her plans as well.
After completed all those arrangements, Mango decided to rest before she went to pick up Gisella personally.
She would definitely not let go of that b*tch!
Just then, Mango's phone rang.
She took a glance and realized that Wisdom wanted to video call her.
Mango quickly tidied up herself and swiped the answer button.
"Wisdom!"
"Mommy!"
Wisdom was more tanned than before, but he looked healthier, and he was showing no signs of autism.
Thus, Mango felt relieved when she looked at him.
"How are you doing? Where are you now? Your face looked too tanned!"
Mango's heart ached when she saw him.
However, Wisdom smiled and said, "I'm following Bettany to Swovenia now."
"Huh? Swovenia?"
Mango was startled when she heard this country.
"Why are both of you going there?"
"Bettany had said that the medical equipment here is not advanced enough. Thus, she wants to volunteer and help the patients in Swovenia. Moreover, the illnesses over there are more complex, so I will learn as well."
Wisdom wasn't fond of medicine at the beginning. However, he soon realized that it was good for him to study medicine. After all, he had seen the miseries that people were going through when he had followed Bettany around.
"Mommy, I've heard that daddy is suffering from neuralgia again, right?"
Mango was slightly stunned to hear this question.
She had kept this matter a secret, and only a few people know about it. However, Wisdom had known it at that moment which indicated that Bettany had always kept an eye on her.
Perhaps Bettany had done so for Wisdom, or maybe she had other reasons. Anyway, Mango didn't want to think too much about it. After all, everyone had their own past, so she understood that they all needed enough strength to protect
themselves.
Thus, she smiled and asked, "Did you hear that from Bettany?"
"Well, yeah. She had said that daddy's neuralgia is complex, and it's not easy to cure. However, she did mention that there is a book named Hikasa Manual in the ancestral temple of Longford County that might contain a prescription to treat daddy's nerve pain. Mommy, send someone to look for it. I bet that Uncle Noah may have a solution after reading it."
Mango immediately felt excited when she heard what Wisdom had said.
She vaguely recalled that Nanny Zhang had mentioned that before, but they didn't manage to find that book when they renovated the ancestral temple.
"Well, we couldn't find the book there."
"How could it be? Bettany said that it should be there!"
Wisdom looked somewhat confused when he said this.
Obviously, he was a young child. So, he couldn't understand why the book was missing because his teacher had told him that it was there.
When Mango noticed his confused face, she couldn't help feel distressed, "I'll think of another way to find it again. Don't be too hard on yourself. Come back if you miss home."
"Okay, Mommy. I'll bring you some souvenirs from Swonevia too!"
"Haha! Will you bring me some refugees from Swonevia?"
Mango was just kidding, but she didn't expect Wisdom to really bring a Swovenia refugee when he came back. Of course, this only happened way later.
Then, the two of them chatted for a while before ending the video call.
When she returned this time, she had met Zion and even had a video call with Wisdom. Thus, this meant that the only person she hadn't seen till today was Rita.
Suddenly, Mango was really looking forward to calling Rita.
At this thought, she quickly gave a call to Rita, but no one answered her call.
Mango dialled Rita's number four times continuously, but no one picked up the call. Thus, she couldn't help but feel perturbed.
Rita had only gone to the wilderness to sketch some portraits, so she must have brought her phone also, right?
Could it be that something had happened to Rita?
When Mango thought about this possibility, she became uneasy.
She certainly did not want this thought to come true.
Mango gave a call to Rita's teacher once again, but she soon realised that Rita and her teacher were at a place with no signal.
Then, she became grouchy right after she couldn't get in touch with Rita.
"Ms. Sun, the ex- commander asked you to go down for dinner."
Suddenly, Toby's voice came from outside.
How could Mango still have the appetite to eat right now?
