Nathaniel looked at Mango worriedly and asked, "Are you okay with being left alone for a bit? I'm telling you, you're not allowed to go back on your own after you're done. I'll carry you since the doctor said that you shouldn't move around so much."
"I get it. Go and get me my blanket."
Mango's need to pee was unbearable, but why was Nathaniel still loitering around and making it difficult for her to relieve herself?
Finally, Nathaniel decided to leave once he saw the distress on Mango's face. Moreover, he even closed the door considerately behind him.
Only then did Mango let out a sigh of relief.
Nathaniel shook his head and he went to get a thin blanket from the nurse outside along with a pair of long pants.
Since Mango had just gotten out of surgery, he looked around for a moment before he went back and got ahold of the nurse. "Hey, my wife just had a miscarriage, and her lower area isn't fully cleaned up yet. So, do you have any pads? I don't think the hospital prepared any for her."
Meanwhile, Mango just so happened to open the bathroom door as Nathaniel said that. Since the door to the ward was open, she could hear every word as clear as day and it embarrassed her so much that she wanted to just die.
Nathaniel had become so shameless these days!
In the past, he would never dare to ask questions like these. However, now he would simply go up to a nurse and ask without any hesitation. Oh, how mortifying!
Apparently, the nurse was also stunned for a moment when a man asked her this question. Then, she became flustered and a light dusting of red covered her cheeks.
"Usually, the usage of sanitary pads is prohibited during the first few days after a miscarriage. Instead, we recommend using a special kind of pad that is meant for situations like these, but they have to be changed frequently as they get soaked through easily."
The nurse felt extremely mortified as she said this to such a handsome man, but a spark of envy erupted inside her heart as well.
If only her own boyfriend was so caring and attentive.
"Thank you, but where do I get them?"
Nathaniel didn't feel embarrassed at all and he asked in a very serious tone.
The nurse was far too shy to look Nathaniel in the eye, but she replied, "If you need it, I can get it for you, Mr. Ye. It'll only take a moment."
"Thank you, I appreciate if you could get it as soon as possible. I think my wife is in desperate need of that."
Honestly, Mango felt like punching Nathaniel in the face.
What did he mean by that!?
In fact, she...
At that point, Mango was extremely annoyed.
D*mn, she might really need it after all!
She'd already thrown the previous maternity pad away when she went to the bathroom and she didn't have a replacement.
She never expected Nathaniel to notice such a small detail.
Hence, Mango was both embarrassed and touched.
After that, the nurse nodded hurriedly and said, "I'll get it for you right away, Mr. Ye."
The nurse left as soon as she finished speaking.
Then, Nathaniel returned to the ward. He wanted to say something when he saw Mango peeking out the open bathroom door, but she immediately slammed it shut.
"Oh my God, the president of the HY Group actually went up to a nurse to ask about sanitary pads, it's just..."
"It's just what? If I didn't ask her, would you stay in the bathroom all night?"
Nathaniel shook his head with a smile before he opened the door of the bathroom.
"Get out of here!"
Mango unconsciously covered up her nether regions with her hands.
However, Nathaniel moved her hands away and covered her up with a blanket before saying, "Since there's air conditioning in the bathroom, it's still quite cold. Your body can't take the chill, so cover up first. When the maternity pads arrive, I'll carry you out of the bathroom when you've got that sorted. These are a pair of pyjama pants, tell me if you need any help getting them on."
"I don't need your help, get out of here!"
Mango shoved Nathaniel out of the bathroom, but her heart was filled with a warm and fuzzy feeling.
Right now, she desperately needed Nathaniel's love and care. Well, not only did he care for her, he was so detailed as well. Hence, she was very touched.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel decided to stop teasing Mango as he knew she was very embarrassed. Then, he left the bathroom, only to find that her mattress was stained with blood.
He quickly had another nurse to change the sheets as he was afraid that Mango would be upset when she saw the blood.
After the while, the nurse from before returned with the maternity pads and she handed them to him. She said, "This brand is pretty good. I've bought a few rolls, but don't hesitate to ask me if you need more."
"Thank you, this is for you."
Nathaniel smiled politely.
"Ah, you've given me way too much, Mr. Ye. I can't take this."
The nurse was a little flustered when she saw the large amount of money.
"Consider it a fee for running my errands for me. You may need to help me more in the future."
After Nathaniel finished speaking, he sent the nurse out.
In his opinion, no one could look at his woman, regardless of whether their gender.
The door nearly slammed onto the nurse's nose when Nathaniel closed the door, but she didn't care. Then, she stared down at the money in her hand and she felt as if she were dreaming.
This man was rich, considerate and gentle. Ah, what a shining example of a man!
