"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Once Mango entered the hospital, a nurse came out and blocked her way.
"I'm looking for Yama Hades."
Mango looked at the nurse and thought to herself that she hadn't seen the nurse previously when she left. Was she the nurse that originally worked here?
Moreover, the hospital, which was formerly desolate, was overcrowded with patients and security guards now.
If it weren't for her extraordinary memory, she would have thought that she had come to the wrong place.
Upon hearing Mango mention Yama Hades, the nurse creased her eyebrows in displeasure.
"What are you talking about? How dare you call her name directly? Her name is Doctor Zhang."
Only then did Mango know that Yama Hades' surname was Zhang.
"Doctor Zhang? All right, I'm looking for her."
"Did you make an appointment? If not, you can't see her. She is very busy." After that, the nurse immediately asked the security guards to drive Mango away.
Then Mango sighed and said, "We have an appointment in three days. My friend Anaya Ye is still here."
"Anaya Ye?"
The nurse frowned again. Then, she scanned Mango from head to toe and said coldly, "Wait a moment please."
Thereafter, she went straight inside a room.
As the nurse entered, there was a sudden commotion happening outside. Perhaps it was the people from the Underground City who were after her, and anxiety rose in Mango's throat.
Just as Mango felt that she was about to be caught in front of those people, the nurse walked out.
"Come in."
Only then did Mango let out a sigh of relief.
Then Desmond looked around and whispered, "Why didn't they approach closer since they have already caught up with us?"
Mango was slightly stunned. She subconsciously looked around, only to discover that the people from the Underground City were everywhere around them.
However, she sneered and said, "They wouldn't dare come in. Let's go inside."
Afterwards, she entered the room.
Desmond was clueless, but he still followed her. Just as they entered the room, a person was seen climbing over the wall at lightning speed before he entered the hospital.
Meanwhile, the nurse brought Mango to Yama Hades' office.
She was researching something and was completely immersed in it. Hence, she didn't notice the arrival of Mango at all. However, Anaya, on the other hand, was shocked when she noticed Mango.
"I'm back."
Mango looked at Anaya with a sweet and warm smile. However, Anaya quickly diverted her gaze away.
She felt extremely guilty for her actions.
Perhaps Walter and Nathaniel were waiting for Mango's rescue. So, wasn't she too selfish for asking Mango to teach Emberly a lesson?
At the thought of this, she felt even more embarrassed and didn't dare to look Mango in the eyes.
Then, Mango walked forward and squatted down before she caressed Anaya's face saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't teach Emberly a lesson, but don't worry, she will get what she deserves. I just went to save my friend Walter first."
"How is he?"
Anaya quickly wrote it down.
Mango saw that she was very worried about Walter, so she said in a low voice, "Not good. Both of his legs are crippled, and he was covered in blood when I first found him. However, there's no need to worry about him. I've already asked him to return to Ocean City first, and I'll send you back later too."
Hearing about Walter's severe condition, tears welled up Anaya's eyes uncontrollably.
She wasn't a good person, was she?
Due to her personal issues, she actually made Walter a cripple!
Would everything be better if only she had asked Mango to save him earlier?
Then Anaya bit her lower lip in distress.
Upon noticing her reaction, Mango immediately comforted her. "What are you doing? This has nothing to do with you. Stop thinking this way. Walter will be fine, don't worry. If you're worried, I'll take you to visit him when we go back to Ocean City, okay?"
"All right."
Anaya nodded.
Then, Mango took a glance at Yama Hades, who was seemed to be doing some kind of experiment. Therefore, she didn't want to disturb her. Instead, she gestured for Desmond to sit down while she took Anaya's hand and said, "How are you doing? Did she do anything to you?"
Anaya shook her head.
Mango pulled Anaya to her side and they sat down together.
Anaya was very quiet. Perhaps it was because she was mute that people overlooked her existence.
Mango looked at her and felt sorry for Anaya.
"If you have nowhere to go after returning to Ocean City, you can live with me. My family has three children who can keep you company."
Anaya was slightly stunned, and the corners of her eyes became wet with tears.
She was an orphan, and her younger sister had been adopted. To be honest, she really didn't know where to go. Therefore, she was very touched by Mango's words. Despite the kind offer, she still shook her head and refused.
"You have somewhere to go?"
Anaya nodded.
"Well, I'll take you there after this."
This time, Anaya didn't say anything.
When Yama Hades finally finished her work, only did she realize that there were two more people in the office.
Just then, her eyes suddenly lit up when she saw Desmond.
"Are you an experimental human?"
