"Haniya Bell!"
Desmond felt immense pain in his heart as if someone was ripping his heart out!
Then, he wrapped his arms around Haniya tightly, and his eyes started tearing up.
"No! Why did you do this?"
He seemed to be muttering to himself, but he also seemed lost.
Meanwhile, Haniya looked at the handsome man in front of her who was crying for her, and a smile blossomed on her face.
Right now, she was satisfied!
That was sufficient for her!
After that, Haniya fainted before she could say anything else.
Nathaniel was well prepared, but he didn't expect that Bernard's men would dare to launch an attack at Brantley's place. Then he waved his hand angrily, and some of the men of the Ye Family chased after the sniper straightaway.
"Get her to the hospital!"
On the other hand, Mango was really worried about Haniya, so she started tearing up.
That silly girl!
She knew Haniya had feelings for Desmond, so she hoped that Haniya would be fine this time. Furthermore, she also hoped Desmond would cherish Haniya and understand his own feelings.
Did Desmond have no feelings for Haniya?
That wasn't it!
He did love her!
Mango could tell this from the look in his eyes.
However, Desmond had always hidden his real feelings.
Furthermore, he had also kept to himself because he knew his own identity, so he always thought that he was useless. Hence, Marissa had been his light. Then, after she had passed away, he had continued living for Haniya's sake.
The sunlight was bright. Therefore, it would always shine on everyone who opened their eyes in the morning, no matter what. Thus, Desmond felt that this light had brought him warmth when he was going through the darkest period of his life.
However, Haniya was like oxygen that was silently permeating his lungs. Sometimes, he felt as if he could live without her. But once she went missing,
Desmond felt extremely upset and uncomfortable.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel did not allow Mango to go with them.
"Look, this is Walter's wedding. You can't leave now. Trust me, alright? Haniya will be fine."
Mango knew that Nathaniel would definitely have a solution to the problem. In fact, she believed that he would surely handle it well, but she couldn't help but be worried.
Suddenly, a pair of small hands held her palms.
"Mommy, Haniya will be fine. Although the bullet went through her shoulder, it didn't hurt any of her major arteries. Besides, we know so many doctors. As long as they can save her in time, she'll be fine."
Mango looked at Wisdom's calm face and remembered how he had been kidnapped not too long ago. Now that he came to comfort his mother, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
"Wisdom, it's my fault! Alas! I didn't manage to protect you well!"
"Then, hug me tight, mommy."
Wisdom stretched his arms towards Mango and said.
On the other hand, Nathaniel said nothing as he watched Mango and Wisdom talking to each other. Instead, he took out his phone and called Eugene.
"I know you're not in Ocean City now, but your wife should be here. Eugene, please help me to save this person no matter what. I'll be indebted to you forever!"
When Mango heard Nathaniel calling Eugene and requesting Emberly to save Haniya, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, Haniya would be fine as she had the best international surgeon watching over her!
Soon, the car drove away quickly. Thus, the atmosphere around them quickly became calm again, except for the bloodstains on the ground. However, a trace of anger and cruelty flickered across the depths of Mango's eyes.
"Bernard Gaylord! Urgh! This man is despicable!"
"Yes, he hides in the shadows like a coward and wrecks havoc in our life from time to time. How disgusting! Don't worry! I'll make to snuff his out after the new year!"
Nathaniel wrapped his arms around Mango's shoulder while declaring this.
Meanwhile, it was snowing heavily outside.
Then, Nathaniel looked at the wife and children in his arms as he said gently, "Haniya will be fine since Emberly is operating on her. I know you are worried about her, but don't you think this is a chance as well? If Desmond can face his feelings head-on, this will be a great opportunity for him to get along with her, isn't it?"
"Are you trying to tell me to not disturb them? But Victoria, that b*tch..."
A look of disgust flickered across Mango's eyes at the thought of Victoria.
However, Nathaniel sneered and said, "Hehl I have ways to trap her in the hut temporarily, so she can't disturb Desmond."
"Alright, but don't go too far. You know how Victoria has been bullying Desmond all this while because she is Marissa's mother. If Desmond knows what you have done to her, he may not be able to accept it."
When Mango thought of Desmond's promise to Marissa, she couldn't help but let out a sigh.
However, Nathaniel smiled and said, "That's not true. Didn't you notice that Desmond has changed a little? He used to be like the walking dead because he had no goals in life. Now, he has feelings and emotions. Previously, Victoria managed to control him because he felt guilty towards Marissa. However, Haniya risked her own life to save him today, so do you think that he is
someone that cold-hearted?"
After hearing what Nathaniel had said, Mango seemed to have understood something.
After all, Desmond felt guilty towards Marissa because she had died for him, but he could no longer do anything about it now. Thus, he would not allow anything to happen to Haniya because of him.
So, he would once again pick himself up for Haniya.
At this thought, Mango smiled quickly.
"That's great! I really like seeing people who love each other getting together!"
"Haha! You're so silly!"
Nathaniel flicked her nose with his finger as he spoke fondly.
Meanwhile, Wisdom was forced to witness their loving interactions. He was a little speechless, but he couldn't interrupt them as well. When he saw that they had finally become quiet, he whispered, "Mommy, let's go in. I'm starving."
Yes, he had been kidnapped, and he had escaped all by himself. Thus, he was famished!
After hearing what Wisdom had said, Mango quickly brought her son back into the hall.
On the other hand, Nathaniel looked at his empty arms and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Mango was his wife!
However, she was paying less attention to him now
Then, Nathaniel shook her head before he followed her inside.
