"What's wrong?"
Mango saw that Nathaniel's expression had changed, so her heart couldn't help tighten at this.
Nathaniel whispered, "Ned lost her."
"Wait! She shook you off?"
Mango was very surprised to hear this.
Ned's skill was not bad, and there had never been a problem of him following someone secretly. How could he lose Magnolia?
Did Magnolia discover him?
A series of questions ran through Mango's mind, so she was in deep thought.
Meanwhile, Zion lowered his head and continued playing with his phone.
Wisdom saw that Zion's condition had become much better, so he immediately knew that he slept well last night.
After all, Zion was under such immense pressure right now.
Therefore, Zion continued to scroll through his phone while Wisdom continued to read his medical book. Thus, both of them were quiet.
On the other hand, Mango did not ask any further as she didn't want to discuss this issue in front of the kids.
When their car arrived at the entrance of Morgan's house, Mango noticed that there were more people guarding here than before.
Nathaniel's face froze, and then he got out of the car with the children.
"I'm sorry, Captain Ye. We can't let you in. This is an order from the higher-ups."
The guards stopped them when Nathaniel wanted to enter.
Nathaniel looked upset when he heard this.
"What? Do you know who I am? How dare you stop me?"
"Captain, I'm sorry. I know who you are, but now, this area is under surveillance, so no one can enter in here."
The guard was in a dilemma right now.
On the other hand, Mango frowned and asked, "Our daughter is still inside. Can I bring her home?"
"Yeah, I think we can allow that."
The guard went inside and asked Rita what she wanted to do.
Not long after, Rita came out. When she saw
Nathaniel and Mango, she rubbed her eyes and said, "Daddy, mommy, I can't go home with you guys. Bjorn has a fever, so I have to stay with him."
Suddenly, Nathaniel felt touched.
"Dear, think carefully. You haven't seen us for a long time, and I don't think anyone can enter Morgan's house for quite some time after this."
Right now, Nathaniel knew that the higher- ups were trying to stop the Eaves family from contacting anyone else as things had escalated this way.
At the thought of this, Nathaniel felt upset.
Meanwhile, Rita looked at Zion and Wisdom. Then, she looked at Mango and said, "Mommy, are you going to blame me for not choosing to stay by your side?"
"No, I'm just worried about you."
Suddenly, Mango clearly noticed that Rita had lost weight.
Rita smiled, "It's okay. Lonnie and Bjorn are watching over me, so I'll be fine. But they need me now, so I can't leave. I just hope that you won't blame me for this."
"No, you're so clever and sensible, so how can I blame you? Call me if anything happens."
"All right."
Rita went in after saying a few more words with her family.
Mango did not manage to see Esther this time. Therefore, she did not know what was going on inside, but she knew that the higher-ups would not punish Morgan's wife and children. Even if Morgan had made a mistake, they would not do anything to his family. Now, they were only trying to prevent them from contacting anyone else as they didn't want this situation to get even more complicated.
After that, Nathaniel got onto the car along with Mango with an upset expression on his face.
Suddenly, Zion said, "Mr. Ye, you should take mommy to Angolla if you're free."
"What?"
After hearing what Zion had said, Nathaniel was a little surprised, and Mango was dumbfounded.
Then, Zion continued calmly, "Although I don't know why Morgan is under house arrest, I think that this case is related to the people in Angolla. I know that mommy is close with Uncle Lebanon, right? Maybe you will find out the truth if you bring her there so that she can talk to him. Furthermore, Bernard has been targeting us. Why can't we take the initiative to deal with him instead of hiding in Ocean City and give in to all his plots? He is a criminal that fled from our country! We can do nothing to him while we're here because he has Lexis to protect him. But once you go to Angolla, can't you solve the problem there because you'll have Lebanon protecting you? If you do that, he won't be a threat to our family and our country anymore!"
When Mango heard what her son had said, she was stunned!
After all, Zion seemed to know much more than they did.
On the other hand, Nathaniel was thinking about this problem as well."
"We can go there, but we're worried about you and Wisdom."
"What's there to worry about? I'll be in the military area, and Zion will be going with you guys. They won't dare to do anything to the Xiao family and the Hans family for now. Besides, I think that Uncle Lebanon needs your help more right now."
Zion analysed the situation rationally like an adult.
Well, Mango had to admit that this problem had suddenly become easier to solve thanks to Zion's straightforward thinking.
After hearing what Zion had said, Nathaniel and Mango thought about it for a moment, and they realised that this plan could work. After all, they also wanted to go to Angolla after the New Year, so it would make no difference if they left now.
On the other hand, Zion wanted to know what Nathaniel was worried about. He whispered, "Mr. Ye, I know you're worried about Morgan, but you can't do anything even if you stay in Ocean City. There's a special team responsible for every military case. We can't get involved, and we can only wait for the results. Since that's the case, you won't be able to change anything. So, why don't you do something practical to help him instead?"
After hearing Zion's advice, Nathaniel was a little embarrassed about himself.
After all, he had been too anxious, so he hadn't been thinking clearly.
