"What's the condition?"
Mango asked while feeling down.
Bettany shook her head and said, "I don't know. They didn't say anything. They just said that as long as you agree, I will operate on you."
"You're asking me to agree when there are no conditions given yet? What if it's slavery? That would be a disadvantage to me!"
Mango felt that this was very unreasonable.
Bettany whispered, "They said that they won't ask you to sell yourself, and they'll inform you when the time comes."
"It's ridiculous!"
Mango got up and poured herself a cup of water. Her expression was a little cold.
How could the Fang family think that she would agree to their request just because she wanted to regain her voice?
When Bettany saw Mango like this, she couldn't sit still any longer.
"Mango, I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't do this, but I have no choice. Please agree to them. I can guarantee you with my life that you won't lose anything." "What do I need your life for? I only want my own freedom. If this is the price you have to pay for healing my throat, then I'd rather just remain mute. I really hate being threatened, and I don't like to do things that I have no knowledge of. The scenery here isn't bad. You can stay here for a few more days if you want to."
After Mango made a gesture, she put down the cup.
Bettany knew that Mango was angry.
She hurriedly said, "Mango, I really need my freedom, I..."
"Bettany, I can't help you."
Mango went straight to the point.
She knew that crushing Bettany's wish for freedom was particularly cruel, but if she was not cruel to others, then who knew if they'd return the favor.
She was no longer the innocent girl she used to be.
Bettany was stunned as she looked at Mango. She wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.
"Does Nathaniel know about this?"
Mango could not help but ask.
Bettany said with a bitter smile, "I didn't dare tell him. If he knows, I think it would be impossible for me to come to Nakasara at all."
Fortunately, Nathaniel did not know about this.
The thought flashed across Mango's mind.
She made a gesture to Bettany and said, "Well, let's call it a day. I can take you out for a spin in the afternoon. If you are busy, I can also have Nathan send you back."
"Mango..."
"I'm a little tired. I want to rest. I'm sorry."
Mango directly cut off Bettany’s words, causing her to feel a little embarrassed.
She left the room in shame.
When Nathaniel saw Bettany leaving, he hurriedly came in and asked, "How is it? How confident are you in this surgery?"
"I don't want to treat my throat anymore, I’m fine this way."
Mango smiled and gestured towards Nathaniel.
Nathaniel was stunned for a moment and subconsciously felt that something had happened, but he did not ask. Then, he said with a smile, "Don't worry. No matter what, I will be by your side." "Sure!
Mango smiled before making a gesture. "Bettany has something else to do. If she wants to leave later, send her off. I have been feeling a little uncomfortable these days."
Nathaniel sensed that something must have happened between Mango and Bettany. However, he still nodded.
"Well, do you want to go out or take a rest?"
"I want to check on the tourism industry here as I want to get involved. To be precise, I want to take all the resources from Edolie's hands."
Since she couldn't heal her throat, Mango didn't want to waste any more time being sad. So, she decided to take action against Edolie.
When Nathaniel saw the fighting spirit in Mango's eyes, he suddenly felt that the current Mango was really amazing.
He couldn't help but recall the day when Mango had just returned from the United States. She looked so full of confidence as though the entire world was in the palm of her hands.
Her eyes were shining so brightly, and her entire being was so confident.
Now, she was once again standing in front of Nathaniel like a shining star. It was only then that he realized that he loved this version of Mango so much.
Mango could sense the slight change in Nathaniel's gaze. She looked straight at him, and there seemed to be something else in his eyes. There was admiration, amazement, and myriad other emotions.
She could not help lowering her head.
"What are you looking at?"
"You are so beautiful."
Nathaniel was very generous in praising Mango. His words sounded extremely alluring to her ears. In an instant, she froze, and her body went weak.
She turned her face away in embarrassment and made a gesture. "You should leave quickly. I need to check on some information."
Nathaniel laughed again when he saw her blush.
After he left the room, Mango heaved a sigh of relief. She suddenly raised her head and saw Anaya standing at the door and looking at her. With a smile, Anaya gestured and said, "I heard that! You're so pretty."
"Go back to your room!"
Mango was a little shy.
