Nathaniel did not respond to Harris, leading the latter to think that the call was hung up. Harris took a look and confirmed that the call was still ongoing. He could not help but ask, "Is there no mobile signal over your place?"
"No, it's working fine."
Nathaniel answered in an instant.
Then only Harris felt Nathaniel's hesitation.
"Do you have anything to tell me?"
"Yes, I do."
Harris was really annoyed by Nathaniel's curt answer.
"Hey, how can your wife stand you? You can't even answer one question properly. How can you get a wife?"
"Not only did I get married, but I also have five kids. Are you jealous? Sure, get married if you can."
Nathaniel's sudden sharp rebuke irritated Harris instantly.
"Nathaniel, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you? I'm telling you, if you do this again, I won't talk to you anymore."
After being interrupted by Harris, Nathaniel felt much more relaxed.
He laughed all of a sudden and said, "Find a way to bring Carl's blood here. I'm in Y Country."
"What do you want his blood for? Besides, don't you know who Carl is? Do you think I can get his blood easily?"
"This is important. Something big has happened."
After saying that, Nathaniel hung up the phone and left Harris hanging.
Nathaniel did this every single time. What was wrong with him?
Did it make him happy to keep Harris in the dark?
However, although Harris had complaints about Nathaniel, he still went to the Carlson.
"Hey, give me a drop of blood."
"What do you need it for?"
Carlson was now completely different than he was when in the Ye's Mansion. He exerted the domineering aura of the superior now. Moreover, there was no smile on his handsome face all day long.
In fact, Harris didn't really prefer Carlson to be in this state, but he also understood that the latter had no choice.
"It's Nathaniel's request. He asked me to go to Y
Country immediately. I don't know what he wants."
Harris did not bother to hide anything from Carlson.
When Carlson heard that Nathaniel wanted his blood, he didn't ask any further questions.
"Here, help yourself. I'm going to oversee Zion's training. I won't go out unless there's a need for it."
Upon hearing this, Harris paused for a moment and said, "You're not going to raise Zion as a successor, are you?"
"It doesn't matter. Let's see how much he can learn. The boy has great potential."
Carlson was excited when Zion was mentioned. Anyone else would have thought that Zion was his son.
When Harris thought of Nathaniel's protectiveness of his children, he couldn't help but say, "You'd better be careful when you train Zion. Otherwise, Nathaniel will come for you."
"Got it. Hurry up and take the blood. Then you can leave."
Harris was being dismissed again.
He was a little disheartened. Why was everyone chasing him away once they had the chance?
However, he still took 400cc of Carlson's blood. He flew to Y Country overnight according to the coordinates Nathaniel had provided him.
Nathaniel did not force Tessa to tell him anything. After Tessa and Sissaye came out of the bath, he found a doctor to examine them. Then he applied some cream for Tessa's wound.
After everything Tessa and Sissaye went through, they were both very tired. Nathaniel ordered the servants to prepare some food.
Sissaye had never eaten a proper meal since she was young. When she saw the food on the table, she was somewhat hesitant and reserved. She only picked up her fork and started to eat once she looked at Tessa and saw that the latter nodded in approval.
Although she was short and grew up in a bad environment, her manners and dining etiquette were very proper. It was obvious that Tessa had taught her well.
Tessa still taught Sissaye to be a noble lady even though they were in a bad situation.
This was something so ingrained in Tessa that she couldn't forget it even if she wanted to.
Mango's heart ached for all the hardships Sissaye had gone through. She couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
It was quiet during mealtime.
After the meal, Tessa seemed a little dizzy. Sissaye was slightly worried, so Nathaniel suggested that they took some rest.
Since they were in a strange environment, Nathaniel did not arrange for them to sleep separately. The two of them now stayed in the same room, which should make Sissaye feel safe.
Mango watched as they entered the room. She couldn't help but say, "I've always thought that Rita has it hard. Now that I've seen Sissaye, I sympathize with her too."
"Each family has its own problems. No matter which family they are from, they have to settle their problems by themselves. There is only so much that we can help them with."
Nathaniel's words were perfectly reasonable.
Mango and Nathaniel were worn out after this day's incident.
They had come here for vacation, but now they had run into Tessa. It seemed like they would have to pause their plan or change their trip.
