Mango did not speak to Terrance over the phone, but they messaged each other over Whatsapp instead.
Edolie’s tone was cold as she looked at Mango, who was incessantly texting on her phone. She said, "I'm sure that you won’t be lonely over the next three months. Even if Nathaniel isn’t with you, there are still plenty of people who care about you.”
At that, Mango’s gaze became frigid and the cold seeped right into Edolie’s soul.
"You’d better stop bringing up that agreement, or else.."
"What else can you do? Can you stop your daughter from having the surgery?"
Edolie’s fearless expression irritated Mango so much that she nearly wanted to leap out of the moving car.
Edolie was right!
Mango couldn’t do it!
In the end, the only thing Mango could do was just accept Edolie’s taunts.
Then, Mango lowered her head angrily as she continued to tell Terrance about the doctors in the hospital to distract herself. If she didn't do so, then Mango might kick Edolie out of the car if she didn't jump out first.
On the other hand, Terrance was very concerned after he heard Mango's words.
"Don't worry about the surgery, I'll send some of my men to the hospital and investigate the staff."
However, Mango disagreed with Terrance's way of dealing with this issue.
"Uncle, we don't have time to do that. Furthermore, it’ s not like we can investigate them thoroughly in such a short time frame. I know a doctor who is very familiar with Rita's illness and I can ask him to perform the surgery, but I still need your help at the hospital."
As soon as Rita returned home, Mango had the doctor from the hospital in the United States transferred over as well. Hence, Mango intended for him to personally perform Rita's surgery.
The doctor worked for Dylan, and since Dylan was Nathaniel's best friend, the doctor would definitely try his best during the surgery.
Honestly, it’s just that Mango hadn’t expected so many things to happen. Fortunately, that doctor was still here but Ocean City's central hospital wouldn't casually allow a foreign doctor to perform surgery in their hospital.
Terrance listened to Mango’s explanation before he said in a low voice, "Leave this to me. I'll give the hospital’s director a call, so just wait for me after you reach the hospital and don't do anything until I arrive. Oh yeah, are there enough men guarding Nathan? Do you need me to send reinforcements?"
"That's not necessary as my men and Zion are already there. Furthermore, I called Thomas earlier and he's on his way there. Uncle, I'll see you at the hospital."
Mango hung up the phone after she finished speaking to Terrance, and she turned to find that Edolie had been staring at her with a quizzical look in her eyes.
Then, Edolie quickly turned away to look outside when she realized that Mango was observing her.
The two of them were silent for the rest of the journey and they quickly arrived at the hospital.
It would take some time for Terrance to arrive, so Mango quickly got off the car as she was more concerned about Rita's condition.
On the other hand, Edolie seemed very nonchalant about the whole affair as she followed behind Mango into the hospital.
"Stop there, who are you?"
Someone had stopped Mango outside the ward before she could enter. Moreover, the person who blocked her seemed to be a high-ranking individual in the hospital.
Edolie had an indifferent expression on her face when she looked at Mango as if she was just an outsider. However, Mango had to get past this man if she wanted to enter the ward to save Rita.
Then, Mango frowned and the look in her eyes became ice-cold.
"My daughter is a patient in this hospital and she needs to undergo surgery soon, so please step aside." "Give me your ID card." The other party looked at Mango with disdain as if a person of her status didn’t deserve to enter the hospital.
Honestly, Mango found that rather insulting.
Nevertheless, Mango couldn't be bothered to argue with this person. As she was taking out her ID card, a familiar voice called out in a playful tone.
"Since when did the central hospital take over the responsibilities of the police?"
As soon as the voice called out, Mango was stunned and the person in front of her recoiled slightly in fear as he heard the voice.
"Master Song."
He greeted anxiously.
Walter Song walked over to them from somewhere nearby and he whistled when he saw Mango.
"Long time no see, beautiful. Did you miss me?"
Walter was still as frivolous as before, but Mango's lips curved up in a small smile.
"What are you doing here?"
"I should be asking you that same question. Didn't you say that you went to the United States? Ah, you didn't even contact me when you returned! What happened? Did you really forget about me? Or did Nathaniel forbid you from contacting me?
Walter’s tone was still as playful and teasing as it was back then, but Mango didn't really mind it anymore.
"I have a lot of things on my mind. Right now my daughter is about to have surgery, so I rushed over
here like a madwoman and I didn’t have the time to call you."
Mango's words stunned Walter for a moment.
'Wait, your daughter? Don't you only have a son?"
"I gave birth to fraternal twins. My daughter’s health has always been poor, and she had been recuperating in the United States previously."
At this point, Mango no longer wanted to hide it from Walter.
