"Tristan, can you help me? I mean, if you know how to perform this operation, could you help us with it?"
Mango said these words gently as she didn't know if Tristan would agree to her request. After all, she knew that no one would be rude to her if she was polite. As long as she asked him for a favor respectfully and sincerely, he should be willing to help her, right?
However, Nathaniel found this annoying.
Then, Tristan looked at Mango and then Nathaniel, who was standing behind them with a furious expression. Suddenly, he wanted to tease them, o he said, "Well, I can help them, but the probability of succeeding in this operation is a little low. However, I have completed a similar operation previously, so I don't think that she will suffer any side effects if I operate personally. However, I'm just a businessman, so I won't do anything if I don't get any benefits out of it."
"Look, I can give you money. Just tell me how much you need."
Mango said hurriedly.
However, Tristan shook his head and said, "I am not short of money. I know you all have heard that the Acker family is poorer now, but I can get money at any time. Let's do this instead. Why don't you spend one day with me, and I'll operate on her? What do you think?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Nathaniel was already pointing his fist at him.
"Hehl I think you're itching for a good beating."
Nathaniel gritted her teeth and spoke without mercy.
On the other hand, Mango was also stunned. After all, she never expected Tristan to make this request.
Didn't Tristan work for Nathaniel?
Also, wasn't he one of the soldiers that worked for Nathaniel?
How could he be so shameless?
Meanwhile, Denver also looked upset right now.
After all, he wanted to cure Anaya so she could speak. However, if Mango had to give up something in return, he would rather find another way to do so.
Well, he felt terrible for Anaya too. However, he couldn't allow Tristan to overstep his boundaries.
On the other hand, Anaya was stunned as well.
Although she was still young, she could sense that Tristan didn't harbor any romantic feelings towards Mango at all. Therefore, why would he come up with this request?
Right now, everyone had different emotions on their faces when they heard what Tristan had said. On the other hand, Nathaniel and Tristan had already started fighting.
Although Tristan's military rank was lower than Nathaniel's, he wanted to test Nathaniel's skills. Well, perhaps he had always wanted to do so because of his personal feelings towards Nathaniel or for some other reason. However, he didn't expect Nathaniel to attack him so fiercely, so he couldn't defend himself initially.
He had heard that Nathaniel had been doing business recently, so the latter hadn't recently worked in the military. However, but he didn't expect Nathaniel to be this powerful.
Suddenly, Nathaniel hit Tristan in the face as the latter wasn't paying any attention. It hurt tremendously, and he had wanted to fight back. However, he saw how worried Mango was for Nathaniel from the corner of his eye, so he stopped and begged for mercy while saying, "Alright, stop! I was just joking, so why did you hit me for real?"
"Huh? Were you joking just now? Nah, I think you're digging your own grave!"
Well, in fact, Nathaniel didn't care why Tristan was doing this. He wanted to kill Tristan just now, and the thing that agitated him the most was how Mango treated Nathaniel.
She was so kind to him!
Therefore, when Nathaniel thought about how Tristan had treated Mango previously, he felt jealous.
Tristan felt that if he continued to fight with Nathaniel, he would probably be so injured that he could only lie on the bed tonight. Therefore, under such desperate circumstances, he could only shout, "Nathaniel, stop! I am your brother-in-law! If you dare to hit you again, I'll ask Uncle Mateo and my father not to allow Mango to return to the Ye family again!"
After hearing what he had said, both Nathaniel and Mango were stunned.
"What did you say?"
Nathaniel was upset, but he still looked at Tritan. However, the latter didn't seem to be joking around at all.
Did Tristan just say Uncle Mateo, Uncle Terrance, and his father?
Well, Nathaniel knew who Uncle Mateo and Uncle Terrance were. However, who was Tristan's father?
Wait, was Tristan a member of the Hans family too ?
On the other hand, Mango was also surprised. Hence, she also looked at Tristan with a puzzled expression.
Meanwhile, Tristan felt a little embarrassed. He coughed and said, "Ahem! My father is Terrance, and my mother is Magnolia. Do you understand what I'm trying to tell you?"
"What did you say?"
After hearing this, Mango was stunned.
"Are you Uncle Barack's child? How is that possible? You..."
"Nah, I'm one or two years older than you. What do you think?"
After that, Tristan told them about what had happened to Magnolia as they were his closest relatives. Well, to be fair, Denver was an outsider. However, when he saw how Mango had treated Denver just now, he felt that they were good friends, so he didn't hide the truth from Denver as well.
After all, he had long wanted to return to his family.
"When I was sixteen years old, I changed my nationality. My mother was afraid that Laborn would find out about my existence and use me to threaten her and my father back then. Therefore, she hid my existence and sent me to the Acker family. However, I've already known about my family, so I changed my nationality when I was sixteen. Furthermore, Uncle Mateo had always known about this, and he even recommended me to join the army. Besides, I've always wanted to reunite with my family and return to my country, so I hope that I can do so this time."
Mango was shocked when she heard what Tristan had said.
