"Princess, I know that you are kind. I will handle this problem, and you can pretend to be oblivious. Also, I will take responsibility if anything happens so that Mr. Ye will not blame you for it. I am your servant, and it is my responsibility to help you whenever you're in distress. I just hope that you will treat my brother well and give him a bright future."
After all, there was no one left in Maya's family except for her younger brother. Hence, she had promised her parents to raise her younger brother. Now that she had such an opportunity, she had to give her brother a promising future, even if it meant risking her life.
Meanwhile, Priscilla looked at Maya with a complicated expression as she felt touched.
She had given up her feelings a long time ago, and Nathaniel was the only person that could brighten up her day. Therefore, even though Maya had served by her side dutifully all these years, she had not paid any attention to Maya. After all, she was a princess, so she expected all her servants to be loyal.
However, she suddenly regarded Maya as her close friend at this moment.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of your brother."
"Thank you, Princess."
Maya immediately beamed, but there was a hint of bitterness in her smile.
After all, the fates of the servants were in their master's hands. They had to either risk their lives or prove their worth so that they could protect their own family.
Then, Priscilla looked at Mango and Nathaniel, who were following behind her and whispered, "Alright, don't let Mango notice it."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Maya quickly answered returned to her position.
On the other hand, Nathaniel was surprised to see how patient Priscilla was. Although it felt a little strange to him, he remained silent.
Thus, they didn't speak on the way and went straight to Henry's room.
Henry looked much better now that Priscilla was caring for him, but he was still unconscious. Furthermore, Mango and Nathaniel were shocked when they saw the scars on his body.
"How did this happen?"
Mango was Henry's superior. Hence, she couldn't help but feel worried and furious when she saw Henry's unrecognisable features.
Priscilla glanced at her and thought to herself. Sure enough, Mango was like a seductress who was attracted to every man. Hah! Why was she still concerned about Henry when he already looked like this?
Who the hell was she?
At this thought, Priscilla snorted and said directly to Nathaniel, "Mr. Ye, his condition was even more severe when he first came over. The doctor said that it was a relief that he was treated on time, otherwise it would be a tragedy. Also, we managed to save his life by giving him some medicine, but he'll have to wake up on his own."
"Who did it?"
Nathaniel asked even though he already had a guess.
"Bernard. However, Bernard is currently under my father's protection, so I can't do anything to him. Also, my father nagged me for saving Henry as well."
Priscilla had rarely caused trouble, but she had been scolded by Laborn for rescuing Henry. However, Laborn did not pursue the matter as Henry was just a guard.
She was surprised that Bernard did not continue to haggle over this matter either. However, she had already sent people to spy on Bernard.
When Mango heard Priscilla mentioning Bernard's name, her entire aura had changed. The delicate expression she had just now had completely disappeared, and she looked like she was ready to kill someone instead.
"Hah! I think Bernard is digging his grave now!"
Upon hearing this, Priscilla looked at Mango as she was stunned.
After all, she was shocked when she saw Mango's imposing manner.
In fact, she had done a background check on Mango, and she knew that the latter was the head of Dark Night Empire. Alas! It was a pity that Mango was only was b*tch that only knew how to seduce others.
However, Priscilla didn't think much about what Mango had said. After all, she felt that Mango had said those words without thinking, so she didn't pay attention to them.
On the other hand, Nathaniel whispered, "Don't worry. We can't expose ourselves now. I'll seek justice for Henry. Priscilla, you have to treat Henry and make sure he recovers, no matter how much it costs."
"I'll try my best."
Priscilla didn't dare to make any promises.
After all, Henry was indeed seriously injured. If he wasn't in such a critical situation, Bernard would not have let the matter go so easily.
Meanwhile, Mango looked a little upset.
Henry had come to Angolla for her, but he ended up this way. Mango felt guilty when she thought about how much Henry had endured and sacrificed so much for her.
Of course, Nathaniel could read her mind. He held her hand and said softly, "Alright, don't be upset. Let's go back first. I'm sure Henry will wake up soon."
"Got it"
Right now, Mango couldn't expose her identity, so she decided to go back with Nathaniel. At this moment, she was glad that Priscilla still didn't know what Henry was one of the subordinates. Otherwise, Henry wouldn't have been able to survive this far!
When they were on their way back, Mango was upset. Upon seeing this, Priscilla didn't dare to say anything more when she saw that Nathaniel was silent. However, she was reluctant to leave once they had reached Mango's room.
"Mr. Ye, I have something to talk to you in private. Is that alright?"
"No, my wife is in a bad mood. So, I need to be with her and calm her down."
Nathaniel rejected her request directly.
In fact, Mango was truly upset right now, so he didn't want to cause any trouble for himself.
