"Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen, why are you here?"
Thomas was really surprised.
This place was very private, and besides, Nathaniel had also blocked the news about him being hospitalized. He was afraid that people would be panicked when they knew it, but he didn't expect that Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen would find this place.
When Mrs. Shen saw Thomas, she showed a smile on her face.
"Thomas? That's great. I heard that Nathan is injured, isn't he? So we came to visit him specifically."
While Mrs. Shen said so, her eyes kept looking a little anxious. Obviously, she really wanted to see Nathaniel.
Thomas knew about their special background, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Ye went out for business. In fact, he is not badly injured. Sorry to let you feel worried."
"I see. He's not here."
It was obvious that Mrs. Shen was very disappointed, and her eyes seemed to have suddenly lost its gleam.
Seeing them like this, Thomas couldn't help saying, "Mr. Ye is not here, but Miss Shen is here."
"Miss Shen?" Mr. Shen couldn't help but ask, and his eyes burning with heat.
Thomas finally realized and said with a smile: "It's Miss Katherine. She's drawing a graphic design in the room."
As soon as she heard that it was Katherine, the gleam in Mrs. Shen's eyes recovered again.
"Can we go in and see her?"
"This..."
In fact, Thomas didn't want anyone to approach Mango. Besides, he knew that Mango was drawing a graphic design, but the old couple in front of him were nobody but Mango's biological parents. He couldn't shut them out no matter what.
"Ok, I'll go in and talk to Miss Katherine. Please wait for a moment."
Thomas smiled lightly, he turned around and walked to the ward.
Terrance felt that he had been fooled by Thomas.
"Didn't you say that Katherine was busy and didn't want to see guests? How can they go inside?"
Thomas said in a neither humble nor arrogant way: "They are someone special, Mr. Hans."
"Who are they?"
"They are Mr. Ye's father-in-law and mother-in-law. Is there any problem, Mr. Hans?"
Thomas smiled faintly, but his smile didn't come from the bottom of his heart.
Terrance was more or less surprised. They were actually Mango's parents?
Terrance had heard about Nathaniel's former wife. When he saw his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he suddenly became very interested in Nathaniel's former wife.
Could such an elegant old couple have a daughter who had eloped with another man?
While Terrance was observing Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen was also observing Terrance.
He knew Terrance. After all, the reputation of the Hans family was very profound. Terrance's great achievements had often been reported by the media, but he didn't expect to meet Terrance here.
"Mr. Hans."
Mr. Shen called out faintly, neither humble nor pushy.
Terrance nodded to them to show his respect.
Thomas had already come out of the room. He was a little surprised to see Terrance still there.
"Is there anything else I can do for Mr. Hans?"
"Tell Katherine that I have something important to talk to her, so she can contact me when she has time. This is my phone number."
Terrance was not a person who would keep pestering.
Nathaniel's father- in- law and mother- in- law both came to see Katherine, which indicated that Nathaniel was being really serious to Katherine. Then, in this case, it was really not appropriate for him to stay. Thomas politely took over the business card and sent Terrance away.
Mr. Shen and mother looked at Thomas anxiously.
Thomas smiled and said: "Come in with me."
When Mrs. Shen heard Thomas' words, she was more or less excited.
The two followed Thomas into the ward. Mango was putting away her own drawing. When she saw them coming in, she said happily: "Uncle, aunt, you are both here? Have a seat. I was just drawing, and I didn't hear you coming. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, it's okay. What were you drawing?"
There was some passion added in Mrs. Shen's eyes when she looked at Mango.
Mango didn't notice it. She said with a smile: "Nothing. It's just some work. My major was car designing. I had some inspiration, so I intended to draw it. But when I drew it over and over again, I kept feeling something was missing, maybe I still lacked some inspiration."
She touched the back of her head in embarrassment.
In front of her parents, she unconsciously revealed her childish nature.
Seeing that familiar movement from Mango's childhood, Mr. Shen's eyes suddenly became a little wet.
"Bring it over and let me have a look. Maybe I can give you some inspiration. Of course, if you mind it, then forget it." Mr. Shen rarely took the initiative to say anything, but Mango knew that Mr. Shen had done some research in art when he was young.
"No, not at all. I can't wait for you to give me some guidance."
Mango quickly took the drawing paper and handed it to Mr. Shen. Then she sat aside obediently, like a well-behaved child.
Thomas felt that Mango had completely turned into another person in front of Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen. He left without saying anything, leaving some privacy for this family.
Mr. Shen looked at Mango's work and praised: "Are these all drawn by you?"
"I was just scribbling. It's not worth mentioning."
