Zion did not care about what Andrea thought about himself, and he cared less about her feelings.
The moment she decided to lay her hands on Mango, she had already had her foot in the grave.
Although he was young, he had already fired and killed someone. Would he care about doing it to one more person? No.
Mango had borne and endured so much. Was it possible for Andrea to escape from justice just because she was Mango's biological sister?
Now that Mango was severely poisoned, why had everyone not known the poison yet? Naturally, there was no evidence pointing towards Andrea. So what?
Zion had all the ideas to torture Andrea.
Nathaniel and Mango did not know anything about Zion's actions.
Nathaniel focused all of his attention on Mango, while Mango was still sleeping soundly.
In fact, she did not sleep well.
After the burning sensation disappeared, Mango felt completely empty.
She seemed to be hollowed out, feeling particularly tired and uncomfortable.
She did not know how long she had slept, nor did she know what had happened to herself. She just felt that her chest was stuffy, and her whole body seemed to be suppressed by something and she could not breathe.
Mango struggled to wake up.
She knew how much Nathaniel cared about her and that the children could not live without her. She also knew that she was very likely to have scared the children already.
Nathaniel must have been working hard outside to fight for herself. How could she keep sleeping?
Mango struggled and slowly opened her eyes.
The room was very dark and it did not have even a streak of light.
She felt a pair of powerful hands holding her waist, and it was the familiar aura that calmed her down.
Then, an even breathing sound rang in Mango's ears.
She turned her face and could not see Nathaniel clearly. It was too dark.
Mango fumbled around as she was trying to turn on the lights.
Nathaniel suddenly woke up.
"Mango?"
His voice was hoarse, but also excited.
Mango smiled weakly. She felt a fire burning in her throat.
"Do you want some water? I'll get it for you right away."
Nathaniel hurriedly got out of bed and poured a cup of warm water for Mango.
He was extremely jovial.
Mango was awake!
She finally woke up!
Nathaniel slowly lifted Mango up and placed the cup of water by her lips.
Mango was really too thirsty.
She seemed to be walking in the desert. At this moment, she felt like she her throat was going to burn. When Nathaniel gave her the drink, she gulped it down in one go.
Mango finished the cup of water in the blink of an eye, but she was still very thirsty.
Nathaniel quickly poured her another cup of water.
After drinking three cups of water, Mango finally felt a little more comfortable.
She looked into the dark and asked in a deep voice, "Nathan, why don't you turn on the light?" Nathaniel's body trembled with fear.
The setting sun outside was beaming on the French window with a trace of beautiful color, but at this time it prickled Nathaniel's eyes.
His heart wrenched together, tightening and tearing bit by bit.
Nathaniel extended his hand and shook it in front of Mango.
Mango's eyes were dull and unfocused.
Nathaniel's heart suddenly sank.
"There's a blackout."
Nathaniel did not know how to explain to her. It was heart-wrenching.
Mango lost her vision!
Such an understanding made Nathaniel heartbroken, but he had to keep it in first.
"I'll ask Emberly and Genevieve to come over and check on you."
Mango directly grabbed Nathaniel's hand and said in a low voice, "Forget it, it's too dark now. Genevieve is already pregnant so she needs to be extra careful with everything. I'm fine now and we'll talk about it tomorrow morning."
Nathaniel felt a pang of heartache. Suddenly, his beautiful almond- shaped eyes became wet with tears.
"Then, I'll ask Emberly to come over. I have to let her check on you so that I won't be worried anymore."
"Did I scare you?"
Mango smiled faintly.
Her smile was so beautiful, but her eyes had already lost its focus.
The more Nathaniel looked at them, the more upset he was.
"Well, you scared me to death."
Nathaniel gripped Mango's hand tightly.
Mango only felt that her entire body was extremely weak. However, she still smiled, "I don't know what happened either. It's probably due to the fever and I felt very hot, but it was only a matter of time before I recovered. Hmm... I'm extremely weak. Perhaps it was because I caught a cold yesterday when I went to the racing court. Don't worry too much, okay?"
Was she talking about 'yesterday'?
Nathaniel really wanted to say that it was no longer yesterday.
Three days had passed since then.
This period of time was like purgatory to him.
However, now that Mango had finally woken up even though she could not see anymore, Nathaniel was glad that she was still alive.
Nathaniel hugged Mango tightly and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have wanted you so frequently. Even though I know that your body can't handle it, I still can't control myself."
Mango's face flushed.
"Am I that vulnerable?"
"Yes, you are."
Nathaniel felt extremely distressed.
Mango was very tired after the fever. After talking to Nathaniel for a short while, she felt exhausted.
Her eyelids were heavy.
Mango leaned on Nathaniel's shoulder and said softly, "Nathan."
"Yes?"
