Nathaniel's temper was no longer as violent as before. Mango knew Nathaniel's previous action simply because he was afraid of hurting her, but she just didn't want to talk to him.
What made him think that she had to forgive him easily right after he had scolded her in that way?
Mango took the water from Nathaniel, but she did not speak to him.
She unscrewed the cap and took a sip while looking in the direction of the operating room, she spoke nothing. Apparently, she had assumed Nathaniel as a nobody to her.
Nathaniel somewhat smiled bitterly.
His wife looked indeed lovely sometimes and there were times which she was stubborn. It seemed that she should be in a cold war with him at the moment.
It was seemingly good though, yet it was elementary that the Golden Lancehead Venom in his body would stop its agitation from the stimulation of Mango's remarks.
Nathaniel neither explain further nor spoke. He sat there silently with Mango, both were waiting for the light of the operation room to be extinguished.
Mango had thought that Nathaniel would say something, but he did not utter a single word after Mango waited for him, she was no longer in rage. After all, their son was still lying inside the operation room.
When the doctor opened the door of the operating room, Mango immediately stood up.
"Doctor, how's my son?"
"He's fine, it's lucky that his wound has slightly deviated from his heart. Otherwise, we don't have the confidence to operate on him. His body is slightly feeble now as he hasn't recover from the anesthetic. He's still unconscious but will soon recover after a period of rest."
The doctor then heaved a sigh of relief.
He couldn't recognize Nathaniel, but the doctor could tell from his imposing temperament and Baxter Alliance behind him.
Being protected by those men from Baxter Alliance, it was reckoned that the man must have an extraordinary status. The doctor could felt at ease when they managed to rescue their kid.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel ordered his man to send Zion back to the headquarters.
As their identities were relatively sensitive at the moment, it would be very inconvenient for Zion to stay in the hospital.
Once returning to their base, only then did Mango found out that there was a room being changed into a ward equipped with all sorts of medical device. Nathaniel even asked Mascot to come back at once.
Mango did not know the code names of those men, thus Nathaniel patiently explained to Mango.
"Mascot is a doctor, he has developed excellent medical skills, and even keeping his pace with Emberly and Genevieve. However, Mascot has not always been within our country. He has been roaming around the rural areas all year round and seldom comes back unless there's something urgent. When I learned that Zion was injured, I have given him a call. At that time, he has booked a ticket and returned here. Thus, as long as Mascot comes back, he will be able to bring Zion back to life from the jaws of death, I only believe in Mascot here."
Mango nodded.
She had heard that Nathaniel didn't go to the hospital immediately when he woke up and found out that Sisella had hurt Zion. Instead, he went to deal with Sisella. She had initially thought that Nathaniel didn't care about Zion's life, but it seemed that she was mistaken.
Just as Nathaniel said, his trusted subordinates had rushed back while Zion had been rescued, therefore he had no qualms to deal with Sisella.
However, Mango still didn't say anything to him.
Nathaniel knew that Mango was enraged, he didn't explain anything either and went to take a look at Zion in person.
Zion's face was pale, but he was breathing steadily, he was doing good.
It was lucky that he was looking fine.
When both Rita and Wisdom heard that Zion had returned, they ran out of the room in succession.
"Daddy, mommy, can we go in and have a look at Zion?"
Rita's eyes were filled with worry.
Mango held her in arms and whispered, "Let's wait for Zion to wake up, he needs to get some rest now."
Meanwhile, Wisdom took a glance at Zion from outside and felt relieved upon seeing Zion's condition.
"Rita, Zion is fine. Let's keep quiet and let him get some rest first. Well pay him a visit when he wakes up later, okay?"
Rita believed in Wisdom's words.
She nodded.
Rita noticed that there was something wrong with both her parents, their emotions were seemingly awkward.
"Daddy, had you quarrelled with mommy?"
Nathaniel was stunned for a moment before he nodded and said, "Well, daddy made her angry." "Why don't you hurry up and comfort her then?" Rita felt that her daddy was not a stupid person.
Why couldn't he coax her mommy at the moment? On the other hand, Mango blushed.
Why did they need children to teach them how to reconcile from their quarrel?
Nathaniel looked at Mango and said in a low voice, "Daddy don't know how."
Rita rolled her eyes.
He didn't know how to impress her?
Was he kidding?
Who was the one who cross-dressed himself to coax mommy?
He was clearly giving an excuse as he mentioned that he had no idea how to do it.
"Daddy, why don't you buy Mommy a bouquet of roses? Get her some jewels perhaps? Women would normally love them."
Rita's remarks made Mango slightly twitch her mouth.
"I don't like those."
Mango spoke in a fit of pique.
Only then did Rita feel that the matter was kind of serious.
How did daddy offend mommy that caused her to talk relentlessly towards him in front of them?
Rita kept winking at Nathaniel.
Nathaniel felt that his daughter was way too heartwarming.
He whispered, "Help me ask her what does she like? What can I do to make her cool off herself?"
Rita was just about to speak when she heard Mango replied coldly, "I'm not able to cool off myself regardless of what he did. After all, my kindness has been regarded as ill-intentioned and I don't deserve him to do so."
