It was simply a bit strange that so many people would suddenly appear at this time of night. Additionally, the main thing was that there were people who were actively arguing. Even though they were far from them, Mango and Nathaniel could still hear their voices.
However, the voices sounded familiar.
Then, Mango whispered, "Why does that sound like Mr. Malthus's voice?"
"Mr. Malthus? Merle from the Fallen Paradise?"
"It seems like it."
Nevertheless, Mango was not sure.
She was dizzy, and she could not hear very well. Thus, she was afraid that she had misheard it.
However, Nathaniel did not care and he walked over with Mango on his back.
Before he arrived in front of the people, a person suddenly appeared, which startled Mango. Then, Nathaniel's gaze became cold.
"Who are you?"
"Miss Shen, Mr. Malthus asked me to come and get you out of here."
The person who spoke was George.
Thus, Mango was surprised. However, she still told Nathaniel about George's identity. Nevertheless, Nathaniel did not relax and he followed George.
There was already a car prepared for them, and George handed Nathaniel the keys. Then, he said in a low voice, "You should leave while no one has noticed you yet."
"Did Merle send you here?"
Next, Mango asked softly.
"Yes, he did."
George nodded quickly in reply.
"What's all the fuss up ahead?"
"A female guest of Mr. Malthus had been harassed here, and they're currently arguing about that. It has drawn a lot of attention, so you two better leave while you can."
George said a few words, then he turned around and he left.
Hence, Nathaniel did not delay. Next, he started the car and he sped down the mountain with Mango.
The people at the foot of the mountain seemed to have been cleared out, and there was no one there at all.
Thus, Nathaniel did not pay attention to anything else and he quickly stepped on the gas pedal as he drove away.
However, Mango started to have a fever after she entered the car.
She felt very uncomfortable, and her hands involuntarily grabbed the lower hem of Nathaniel's clothes. Thus, Nathaniel knew that she felt insecure and he allowed her to keep holding on to his shirt.
The car avoided everyone and Nathaniel drove directly back to the hospital.
When the car stopped, Mango had already fainted.
At this time, her whole body was burning hot.
Nathaniel did not dawdle and he went straight to the emergency room with Mango in his arms.
Then, the doctor quickly began to treat Mango.
Madam Ye saw them come back and then go into the emergency room, so she quickly followed them.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Nathaniel's entire body was dirty, and there was blood on him. Hence, Madam Ye was so scared that her face turned pale.
"It's okay. The blood belongs to Mango because she just got her period. Plus, she might have gotten a fever due to her body is being so weak."
"How did this happen?"
Thus, Madam Ye felt guilty.
Nathaniel whispered, "Mom, there was an incident today. Someone followed her after she left the Fallen Paradise. Thomas took her to the Dylan's house and we left through the back door, but then we found a tracker on Mango. So, we were nearly intercepted on the mountain."
"What?"
Madam Ye was surprised at this.
"No regular person would be able to do this to Mango at the Fallen Paradise. I'll have Merle to check it out."
"Merle is probably still on the mountain."
Then, Nathaniel told Madam Ye that Merle had come to help them.
Madam Ye replied, "You don't have to doubt Merle. There's a precise tracking system in the ring that I gave Mango. If anything happened, Merle would be the first to know and he would send help. It's different from the tracker you found on her."
Thus, Nathaniel breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the old lady's words.
As long as the traitor was not one of their people, Nathaniel was fine with that.
"I'll get someone to check it out. Where's Thomas?"
"I asked him to stay at Dylan's house to distract the enemy, but they did not take the bait."
Just then, Thomas called them.
"Mr. Ye, I've followed the people who were following us earlier and they went to the Tang family's mansion."
Nathaniel's gaze became cold after he heard Thomas' words.
"So, it really was the Tang family!"
Apparently, Nathaniel had underestimated Abyss!
Previously, he always assumed that Abyss was nothing but a rich businessman, but now it seemed that maybe everyone didn't understand Abyss properly. Hence, Nathaniel's eyes were frigid.
The conflict between him and Abyss was getting bigger and deeper.
When Madam Ye heard about the Tang family, she knew what was going on.
She whispered, "I'll stay and take care of Mango. The children are all asleep, so you should rest as well. You've not gotten much sleep these few days, and that's bad for you."
"It's okay. Mom, I can take it. As for you, your health is not as good as it was before. You'd better rest early too."
Hence, Nathaniel did not mention her medical report at all. It was as if he had completely forgotten about it.
Thus, Madam Ye nodded and she went back to her room as she was afraid that he would ask further.
