The topic of Mango’s pregnancy made everyone look terrible.
Nathaniel had just been vasectomized, but now Mango was pregnant. It was impossible.
Emberly and Genevieve were worried about Mango's health. If she were to bear another child, then it was very likely that her child and her would die during labor. Moreover, a B- scan ultrasonography would need to be carried out in order to confirm if Mango was really pregnant.
However, Mango was very excited.
"Am I really pregnant?"
Her eyes were shining.
She remembered that she had eaten a lot recently and she was vomiting just now. These were all the symptoms of pregnancy, weren't they?
Just as Mango was feeling happy, Noah arrived.
He said flatly, "Mango, you have been poisoned not long ago so you can't keep this child. Besides, it has not been confirmed. What happened to your body recently is very strange. Even if you are really pregnant now, it isn't good news for you."
Mango's face fell when she heard that. A trace of worry flashed through Nathaniel's eyes.
Nathaniel stepped forward and grabbed Mango's hand. He said in a soft voice, "Mango, the only person I care about is you."
Mango was very upset.
She really wanted to give birth to another child. However, she would respect their decision if this child made everyone worry about her health.
Mango nodded and a pang of melancholy was shown in her eyes.
"Let's do a B- scan ultrasound first. Maybe it's because of the poison."
Emberly could not help but feel upset when she saw Mango's disappointment.
Now that Genevieve was pregnant, she naturally understood Mango's feelings.
Mango nodded, but she was still looking forward to give birth to this child.
Nathaniel held Mango's hand and accompanied her to do the ultrasound.
According to the ultrasound, there was nothing in Mango's womb.
Mango was very disappointed by such a result.
Whereas Emberly and Genevieve's expressions were solemn.
She was not pregnant!
It was very likely to be a side-effect caused by the toxin.
At the thought of this possibility, everyone turned pale.
After Mango's disappointment subsided, she let out a laugh when she saw everyone's solemn face, "Don't be like this. Isn't it just a false alarm? I'm okay, so don't be sad anymore."
Nathaniel did not know what to say.
He could not bear to see Mango's disappointment. It made him uneasy as he could not do anything to help her.
Once again, Emberly and Genevieve gave Mango a physical examination, but they still found nothing.
Everyone was stuck in this situation and could not move forward to diagnose anything.
Mango's stomach growled again.
She said shyly, "I seem to be hungry again."
If it was in the past, Nathaniel would definitely be happy that Mango ate so much. However, his heart was throbbing with pain now as he thought it might be because of the poison.
"Mango, why don't you stop eating first? You just ate not long ago."
Mango was so hungry that she said sadly, "But I
am really hungry."
She never knew that she could eat so much every day. Even so, her stomach seemed to be empty, which made her very uncomfortable.
"Let her eat."
Emberly knew the feeling of starvation, so, she did not want Mango to experience it. Even if she was poisoned and suffered from the side- effects, Mango should have the right to make a decision, right?
Since Emberly had said so, Nathaniel asked someone to make something for Mango to eat.
After eating, Mango fell asleep again.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Emberly and the others still could not find any clues about the poison, and Nathaniel was going insane.
In the past three days, Mango had eaten more food and had slept more than usual. Nathaniel was truly afraid that Mango would not wake up one day.
He often woke up from his nightmare in fear. He could only be relieved when he saw that Mango was still beside him.
Other than this, he was also suffering from neuropathic pain. His condition had worsened.
Finally, there was a piece of good news from Wisdom on the eleventh day.
Zion's eyes were red when he came to the rest of them. He said, "Wisdom has been studying Hikasa Manual from Longford County for the past ten days. He said that mommy was not poisoned."
"She wasn't poisoned? Then what is it?"
Genevieve and Emberly were startled.
Zion took a deep breath and said clearly, "It's the poisonous black magic in Nakasara, which is not known by many. But according to Hikasa Manual, there has always been a village where the vermin is kept and bred. Longford County is one of them. We can actually find ways to cure her from the Hikasa Manual."
Nathaniel became nervous when he heard Zion's words.
"Do you guys have an idea already?"
"Yes, Wisdom is on his way back but there is a very practical problem."
When Zion was discussing it with Wisdom, he was also very surprised. He even felt that it was impossible to be real. However, Wisdom's words were logical and everything he said was based on the Hikasa Manual. He even marked out the citation on the manual so Zion could not help but believe it.
It was better than having no clue and letting Mango wait to be cured.
