After being beaten, Yama Hades was dazed. However, she was in a very bad mood when she finally came to her senses.
"It's over. I will not sugarcoat my words. Let me tell you, she was already barely hanging on when she came here, and I don't know where she got the medicine that could sustain herself until now. What's more, the medication is faulty and ineffective. She's considered lucky to be able to hold on until now. I've inspected her body as well. It seems that her uterus is currently in a bad state and is starting to become dysfunctional. The medication that she took has also injured her liver and kidney, and soon after, she'll die. However, you can rest assured that she won't be in too much pain. She's fortunate enough to pass away in a comatose state."
Her voice lowered as she spoke.
She was used to witnessing the progression from life to death, and she couldn't care less about having another dead person in her hospital. However, she felt that Mango was too stupid to be giving up everything for the man in front of her.
She sighed and felt sorry for her. It was the first time she felt terribly sad about someone's impending death.
Nathaniel was completely stunned after hearing this.
"Is what you said true?"
"What's the use of lying about this? I have never seen such a silly woman. Every woman asks for money or power from men. However, she never expects anything from you. A woman who is willing to sacrifice their life for so-called love no longer exists. If it weren't for her, do you think I would be so kind to let you stay here? I would never allow it especially for those that had a feud with the people from the Underground City. It's the last thing I can do for her as I knew that she didn't have much time left. I wanted her to meet you and pass away peacefully. Otherwise, why would I go through such trouble? What will I get from doing this?"
As Yama Hades explained herself, the more aggrieved she felt.
She never expected to get into trouble the first time she showed her kindness.
Just then, Nathaniel accidentally stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Mango was willing to give up her life at all costs in order to save him, and that was why she had travelled all the way there.
He was too useless.
He promised to protect her and provide her with the best life. But now? He had actually dragged her to the brink of losing her life.
"No! Her complexion and vital signs were all very good when I saw her just now. She doesn't look like a dying person at all."
Nathaniel suddenly remembered her appearance in the morning.
Yama Hades glared at him and said, "Don't you get it? People will always display their best side to their closest relatives before they die."
"Nonsense! I don't believe a word you said!"
His mind was tangled, and he was in a complete mess.
No!
Not like this!
She was still so young, and she wasn't even 30 years old!
What was he going to do without her?
He had just promised to wear women's clothes publicly on the roads of Ocean City.
He hadn't kept his promise yet, so how could she leave so early?
He also promised to design a piece of star-themed jewelry for her.
At this moment, he felt as if his heart was torn into pieces. He couldn't hold on anymore, and he was feeling breathless.
How could this happen?
The person he loved and cherished the most was on the verge of death.
Then, he suddenly remembered that Mango had been in poor health ever since the incident with Nanny Zhang. Furthermore, his reckless actions had almost put her into danger.
He thought that everything he did was good for her, but he didn't expect it to turn out this way.
How could he bear this?
She was the person he wanted to protect and whom he loved the most. However, it seemed like he had hurt her even more.
At that moment, Nathaniel hated himself so badly. Worried, he made a call to Genevieve again.
"Mango, where are you? Come back quickly, your body can't handle it much longer! Mango Shen, did you hear what I said?"
Genevieve had been calling Mango the entire time, but she still couldn't get through. Therefore, she was beyond desperate when she finally received a call from Mango.
She was truly worried.
No one knew better than her about Mango's condition.
By the time Nathaniel heard this, he had fully understood the entire situation.
Hence, he almost dropped the phone.
It was true.
Mango was already in poor health when she first arrived.
Why didn't she tell him?
Why did she come here?
She knew that he would find a way out even if he was trapped. Therefore, why did she insist on coming?
To be honest, he actually knew the reason. Wasn't it all because of love?
Five years ago, Mango insisted on giving birth to their child despite being misunderstood by others the entire time. Five years later, she stuck with him through all the ups and downs in their life out of love. Even until now, she still endured all the suffering she experienced in the Ye Family and chose to stay with him.
The Ye Family was full of issues. Others would have given up and left, but she was able to hold on. Also, he had never heard her complain about her misfortunes. Even if she was hurt by Nanny Zhang when she went to get the medicine for Madam Ye, her love for him and the Ye Family still remained.
However, he could not believe that he was receiving this devastating news right now.
He couldn't believe that a lively and happy person like her was about to die.
