Mango's heart was in turmoil.
She loved Nathaniel.
However, could she meet him right now? What would she say when she saw him?
Was he capable of doing something to his mother for her sake?
Could he give up the Ye Family for her?
Mango felt an unbearable amount of pain in her heart.
She did not want to see him!
However, she also had her own children that she couldn't neglect.
Without her in the Ye Family, she had no idea how Madam Ye would treat Zion and Rita.
It was easier for Zion as he would be the heir of the Ye Family. Madam Ye would not do anything to him, but what about Rita?
Madam Ye clearly showed that she did not like Rita. She was now kept just for marriage alliances in the future.
Mango did not wish for Rita to become a pawn to be married off. She did not want her daughter to bear all of this!
Mango thought for a while. She proceeded to write a letter for Nathaniel and handed it over to Bettany.
"What do you mean? You're not going to meet him, but you want me to pass this letter to him?"
Mango nodded her head.
Her heart would hurt if she gave up, but it was even more impossible for them to be together as it would be all the more painful to do so.
It would be better to leave the initial happiness behind, go their separate ways, and forget about each other.
Bettany looked at her and said in a low voice, "I thought that you would do anything to see him. Perhaps he could do you some justice."
Mango paused for a moment.
Justice?
What was that?
The initial allure of love was lost when it was mixed up with too many things. It was her who was persistent and refused to let go. She tried hard to suck up to everyone in the Ye Family, but she was left with nothing in the end.
Grandma was right. Love and marriage based on self-sacrifice would not make her happy.
She bit her lower lip and did not speak, but the glint in her eyes explained everything.
Bettany didn't know what Mango was thinking, but she said in a low voice, "Clean up and prepare. We'll leave soon. I’ll hand this letter to Nathaniel after we leave. Since you don't want to see him, this is the best thing to do. What do you think?"
Mango nodded her head.
Wisdom had been in her arms all the time. He paused for a moment when he heard that they were going to leave, but he kept silent like a mouse.
Mango thought back to the time when she first met Wisdom. This child was so innocent and cheerful. Who would have thought that this quiet and pitiful child would be Wisdom now?
What kind of harm did they do to him?
Mango hugged Wisdom tightly and felt extremely guilty.
Bettany asked someone to clean up the mess, but the nurse suddenly barged in.
"Director, someone wants to see you."
"Who is it?"
Bettany was a little impatient. Who was the person who wanted to see her at this time?
The nurse quickly said, "The blue-blooded man."
"What?”
Bettany was a little surprised, and Mango was also stunned for a moment.
Desmond?
The debt had been cleared between them after she returned to Ocean City. Since then, the both of them went their separate ways and did not contact each other at all. Hence, she did not expect that Desmond would come and find Bettany.
Bettany looked at Mango and asked, "Is he here for you?"
Mango shook her head.
Madam Ye kept the news about her very secretive. It might not be long before the Ye Family leaked news about her running away with the Ye Family's property or her dying from illness. In short, Madam Ye would definitely not let the outside world know about her current situation.
It was even more impossible that Desmond knew.
When Bettany saw Mango shake her head, she frowned and muttered to herself, "Then why is he here? Could it be that he's here to give me his blood?"
The corners of Mango's mouth twitched a little.
Bettany was very obsessed with Desmond's blood, and Mango couldn't understand it. Perhaps it was a doctor thing.
"Let him in."
Bettany still let Desmond in a moment of thought.
Desmond was stunned for a moment when he saw Mango.
"Mrs. Ye, you are here too?"
Mango nodded her head.
Desmond looked at Bettany after he greeted Mango and said, T m here to ask you to save someone."
"No."
Bettany refused without hesitation.
The answer seemed to be in Desmond' s expectations.
He wasn't disappointed and said in a low voice, "If you help me save her, I’ll give you my blood no matter when you need it."
Bettany was stunned and overjoyed at the same time.
"For real?¹'
"Mrs. Ye is also here. She can be my witness. As long as you help me save her, I will give you my blood whenever you want it. This is my promise and repayment to you."
"Alright! It's a deal!"
Bettany immediately agreed.
Mango shook her head.
It seemed that Desmond was well-prepared, but the only person he would give up everything for was Marissa.
What happened to Marissa?
They didn't pay attention to Marissa in the Underground City the last time and Mango didn’t know what happened to her.
Mango wanted to ask, but she kept quiet after thinking about it.
How could she be in the mood to care about other people's business in her current state?
