The girl was just as frightened as to how excited she was just now. She had heard rumors that Mr. Ye was cold and unfriendly, but seeing it personally was absolutely terrifying.
She put down the flowers and ran away hurriedly.
Nathaniel looked at the dangling red roses and felt that they were an eyesore. Unfortunately, he couldn't throw them away because the girl had placed them too far away from him, which made him even more annoyed.
After all, he had undergone a big surgery and it affected his well-being, so after a while, Nathaniel became tired and fell asleep, depressed and helpless.
Meanwhile, Mango waited until the master bedroom was silent before she got up.
Compared to Nathaniel's body, hers was much better.
Bettany heard that there were movements next door and hurried over.
"Madam, what do you need? Let me help you."
"It's fine. The kids don't know that we're injured, do they?"
Mango was quite worried.
Bettany shook her head and said, "I don't know. Mr. Song had asked us not to leak the news."
"Is there any news from Angolla? Have they found Tristan?"
"I'm not sure."
Mango was a little upset at Bettany's words.
She didn't want to hear answers like that. They had left in such a hurry and might have involved people who cared about them, such as Tristan and Priscilla. However, knowing that Denver and Anaya had managed to escape made her feel a little relieved. Regardless, she still didn't know how was Lebanon doing.
"Arrange a car. I will go back to my parents' home."
When Bettany heard this, she hesitated.
"Madam, you haven't recovered yet. You should rest more."
"I'm fine. Just get me a wheelchair. Besides, I don't know anything about them. I can't just lie here and do nothing."
As Mango was about to stand up, Bettany went to help her up hurriedly.
She pondered for a moment and said, "Madam, if you want to know about them, why don't you ask the master? After all, he is keeping up with it."
Mango paused for a moment and looked at Bettany without saying anything.
Everyone could see that she and Nathaniel were in an argument, and only Bettany was trying to be the peacemaker.
Mango didn't say that what Nathaniel did was wrong, she was just angry that he didn't cherish his own life. She knew she was very important to Nathaniel, but was he not important to her?
They were husband and wife, a couple who could support each other. They had gone through a lot, but he had made the decision to let her go once again and put himself in danger. She didn't even dare imagine if she had been too late, would Nathaniel have become a corpse?
If he was easily forgiven this time, Nathaniel would definitely repeat the same mistake again.
However, Mango didn't like to explain these matters to outsiders.
"I miss my uncles."
Her words immediately shut Bettany, who had wanted to speak for Nathaniel, up.
Then, she arranged for a wheelchair and bodyguards to escort Mango out.
Mango was right, her injuries were much lighter than Nathaniel's. Besides, she was one of the leaders too, so Bettany had to obey Mango's words. Not only that, but she still had the Dark Night Empire, so she could obtain any information through them if she wanted to. Now, she was just going to the Hans family to get some fresh air.
Soon, when the car arrived at the Hans family's house, Mateo wasn't around. When Terrance heard that Mango had come, he exited the house hurriedly. However, he couldn't help but frown when he saw Mango in a wheelchair.
"What happened? Didn't Mateo say that you were fine?"
Terrance didn't participate in the mission this time, and instead, he had heard from Mateo that Mango and Nathaniel had returned. Mateo had also told him not to go over these few days, as there was something going on between them, and that it wasn't convenient for them to go. That was why he held himself back.
However, when Terrance saw Mango's current state, he immediately understood that Mateo was lying to him and felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"How did this happen?"
What happened in Angolla was military confidentiality, and Terrance had already retired and did not participate in the mission, so naturally, she did not want to reveal too much with him. However, thinking of Tristan's identity, Mango hesitated.
"Uncle Terrance, please don't blame Uncle Mateo. He had no choice."
Terrance immediately understood when he heard Mango's words.
"You participated in the mission too?"
"You know about Nathan's identity, right? Some things are deeply related to us. It's not up to me to not get involved."
Mango was a little helpless.
Troubles had always found her first, and this was the first time she went looking first.
Terrance sighed and didn't ask the details, but his heart ached for Mango.
"A few days ago, Mateo suddenly asked our people to depart for the Trident Ocean. It was for you and Nathan, right?"
Although Mango didn't say anything, Terrance could guess most of it when he saw Mango and put the puzzles together.
Mango nodded.
"Yes, Nathan was seriously injured and Laborn's people were right behind us. I had no choice but to ask Uncle Mateo and Walter for help."
"So now you're saying I'm useless and I am of no help to you, right?"
If Mango had only asked Mateo for help, Terrance wouldn't be this angry. However, when he heard that Walter was involved too, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.
Mango immediately knew that Terrance had misunderstood her, so she said hurriedly, "Uncle Terrance, don't say that. I don't think of you that way. It's just that it had been very urgent back then, and I was afraid that you'd get worried if you found out, so I didn't tell you. I came to see you as soon as I returned despite my injuries. Isn't that enough to show how much I care about you? Besides, I haven't gone to grandpa's place yet."
