"Where am I supposed to find the evidence?"
Angela almost wanted to burst into tears.
On the other hand, Nathaniel sneered and said, "Die or live by providing the evidence. Make your choice."
"Can... can I leave here to find the evidence?"
Angela looked at Nathaniel cautiously as she was anxious.
She didn't expect Nathaniel to nod and said faintly, "You have three days. If there is no evidence in three days, I will find you no matter where you are. Don't doubt me."
Angela wanted to burst into tears again.
How did she end up provoking such a ruthless man?
"Do you think I can recover in three days with my current physical condition? Let alone finding the evidence, I..."
"The people who work for Morgan aren't useless d*ckheads. Are you saying that you are not his man?"
What else could Angela retort with after Nathaniel said so?
She was kicked out of Longford County while still injured.
Rita stood in front of the French window as she looked at Angela's pathetic state. She sighed and said to herself, "Can I still have my delicious treat? Why do I feel that this woman is quite unreliable?"
After saying that, she shook her head and walked into the room.
Nathaniel retrieved a trace of blood from the sheets. He handed it over to Wisdom after taking it.
"Check if the DNA is registered or recorded in our database. Let's see if we can find out her identity."
Wisdom was stunned momentarily before he nodded.
After leaving the ancestral temple, Nathaniel didn't seem to care about what he said at that time. He even left everything to him trustingly.
Wisdom didn't know what he was feeling as it was extremely complicated.
He was really fond of Nathaniel. At the same time, he knew that the former was very kind to him, but the truth about his parents did have a certain impact on him.
He had kept his feelings to himself before this. After the incident of the incense at the temple, he thought that Nathaniel would send him far away without letting him get in touch with the main missions. However, he didn't expect that Nathaniel would actually take the opposite action. Hence, this contributed to his growing dilemma.
"What's the matter? Is there a problem?"
Nathaniel asked calmly when he saw the conflict in Wisdom's eyes.
"Not at all, but the DNA test will take three days. We can cut it down to a day and a half if we speed it up. There is no equipment here."
Wisdom put his dilemma behind him as he talked to Nathaniel rationally. The latter was looking at him calmly.
Nathaniel pondered for a moment before he said, "What's the equipment you need? Just give me a list. I will get someone to make the preparations later. We'll have everything here in an hour."
"Okay then."
Wisdom nodded in response.
Nathaniel turned around and left after saying that.
"Dad!"
However, Wisdom stopped him in his tracks.
"What is it?"
Nathaniel looked at Wisdom as he raised his eyebrows slightly.
"It's nothing."
Wisdom looked in another direction hurriedly.
He didn't know why he called out to Nathaniel, but he simply felt a little down at that moment when he saw the latter's lonely figure.
On the other hand, Nathaniel laughed all of a sudden and said in a low voice, "Have a good rest. I will take you to your dad's tomb tomorrow."
Wisdom feared up a little instantly due to his words.
"Alright."
Their conversation had come to an end.
Nathaniel left Wisdom's room. He walked over to Mango quickly when he saw her staring at him in the corridor.
"Why are you here? I thought I told you to get some rest, didn't I?"
"What on earth happened between you and Wisdom?"
Mango was a sensitive person. Although neither of them said anything, she could sense that something was wrong between the two of them.
Nathaniel smiled and wrapped his arm around Mango's shoulders before he said in a gentle voice, "It's alright. Wisdom is having some conflicted feelings, so we'll just let him sort it out slowly. That kid understands that time will reveal one's true colors."
"Conflicted feelings? What kind of conflicted feelings? How come I have no idea about it?"
Mango grew nervous in an instant.
Nathaniel stroked her head lovingly and said, "It's nothing. Don't worry about it. This is a matter between us men. We got it covered, okay?"
"What men? Wisdom is only five."
"He is also a man despite his age. He is Nick's _ _ __ n son.
There seemed to be a nostalgic look in Nathaniel's eyes.
"Are you thinking of Nick again? Our current location isn't far from where he passed away. Would you like to take some time to have a look?"
Nathaniel smiled and said upon hearing Mango's words, "Ah, great minds think alike. I told Wisdom the same thing just now. Tomorrow, I'll take him to Nick's tomb for prayers. Rita and you can wait for us here."
"Let's go together. After all, he is your younger brother. Besides, we have nothing to do here."
Mango felt that it was better to stick together with Nathaniel.
This place was full of danger. Who knew what would happen after they went separate ways? It was better to stay together. If something really happened, they could still have each other's back.
