Henry seemed to have heard nothing and continued kneeling on the ground.
Mango looked at Henry and said helplessly, "Nathaniel is my husband and father of my children. It's not appropriate for me to wait here like this."
"But you are also the leader of the Dark Night Empire! There is still a glimmer of hope with you here, but what if this is a trap set up by the enemies? Madam, you can do anything for Mr. Ye, but what should we do if you get hurt? The army cannot function without their general. I know that you have deep feelings for Mr. Ye. I swear that I save Mr. Ye even if I die, so please stay here to command us."
Henry's eyes sparkled, which instantly made Mango feel as if she had been stabbed.
Mango knew that he was doing this for her own good, but...
"Madam, think about it. The wounded soldiers are all here and we don't know if the Liu family's descendants have a backup plan. Thomas and Miss Blu are also here. If you leave, what would they do? What if the enemies infiltrate this place when we leave? Therefore, it's most appropriate for you to stay here."
Henry's words made Mango silent for a moment.
When Henry saw that Mango was loosening up, he continued, "Madam, are you still worried? Do you think that I will collude with the Liu family to frame Mr. Ye?"
"Your words are too serious. Please get up first."
Mango stretched out her hand to hold Henry.
Henry only stood up when he saw Mango loosening up a little.
His thoughts surged as he looked at Mango, but he could only suppress his emotions. Now that he had said everything he wanted, he would have to wait for Mango's decision.
In fact, Henry was selfish.
As long as Mango didn't go, she wouldn't be in any danger here. As long as Mango was safe, he would be satisfied.
In fact, Mango was also suffering in her heart.
She really wanted to find Nathaniel in person. After all, she had missed him for so long. It was undoubtedly the best for her to see him as soon as she could, but what Henry said was also reasonable.
If this was an enemy's scheme to lure them in, then she would be killed if she went. At that time, not to mention Nathaniel, even the people in the Dark Night Empire would not be spared.
At the thought of this, even though Mango felt uncomfortable, she still nodded and said, "Alright, I'll let you go. But Henry, you have to remember that you have to bring everyone back!"
Only after Mango came to the battlefield did she understand the cruelty of the war.
She brought these men here, so she hoped to bring them back safely.
Henry suddenly smiled.
His smile was so bright and pure that it made Mango tear up.
"Yes sir!"
Mango had always known that Henry was very handsome and he was different from his older sister. Although he was a little pale, he had an unforgettable appearance.
Now that Henry was already in his twenties, Mango suddenly said, "When you return, I'll bring you back to the country and I'll find you a girlfriend for you to settle down."
Henry's smile froze on his face.
Girlfriend?
Fine.
As long as it was what his Mango wanted, he could marry the girl. Anyway, it was impossible for Mango to be his wife in this life, so it didn't matter who he ended up with.
"All right."
Henry was still smiling brightly, but there was bitterness in his heart.
Mango patted his shoulder and said softly, "Put on your bulletproof vest and pay attention to your head. There are snipers on the battlefield at any time. Remember my words and come back alive!"
"All right."
Henry took a deep look at Mango.
He knew the cruelty of war, and he also knew that he might not be able to come back alive after leaving this place. However, it was still good to give Mango some hope.
Although Mango did not have that kind of feelings for him, he was still deeply moved by her concern for him.
Mango was somewhat unable to withstand Henry's fervent gaze. She faintly sensed something, but she felt that it was impossible.
