In an instant, Mango got out of her blanket.
She walked out of her bedroom and saw Anaya coming out in her pajamas although she was bleary-eyed.
"Go back to sleep, Anaya, I'll open the door."
Mango gestured at Anaya.
Anaya was a little worried so she leaned against the door and waited.
Seeing that she was so persistent, Mango didn't force her back in and opened the door without a second thought.
All of a sudden, a figure dashed in and hugged Mango tightly.
"Mango, are you alright?"
Mango was taken aback by the person's familiar aura and warmth started filling her chest.
It was Rainie.
Rainie let go of Mango and found that she seemed fine, so she punched Mango and said, "Can you stop giving me a heart attack and live your life in a more relaxed manner? You're always getting caught up in accidents! You have no idea how thunderstruck I was when I heard about what happened to you and Nathaniel from Denver."
Mango's heart was comforted as she listened to Rainie's complaints.
"I'm fine, but Nathan got involved in a car accident."
Mango hurriedly explained.
"I know, but it's because of his accident that I got more worried about you! You're the type of person who would rather get hurt yourself than let your partner be harmed. Listen to me, no matter what happens to Nathaniel, you must still appreciate and care for yourself. I heard that you wanted to die for him? What were you thinking?"
Rainie became angrier as she spoke.
Mango did not refute Rainie's words as she knew that Rainie was concerned about her.
It was true that she wanted to end her life after knowing that Nathaniel might have died, but in retrospect, Rainie would probably have punched her if she were at the scene at the time.
"Where is Denver? Why did you come alone?"
Mango gestured to ask.
Rainie was slightly stunned but she suddenly patted her head and said, "Oh! I left Denver at the airport..."
Mango was completely taken aback.
Immediately, Rainie took out her phone and called Denver.
"Dear, where are you?"
Meanwhile, Denver couldn't even describe how annoyed he felt.
"Thank you for remembering my presence! What the hell!"
Denver said sarcastically as he looked at the bags in front of him.
Rainie knew that she was at fault, so she smiled and said, "Well... I was just too worried about Mango, so I forgot to take you with me the moment I got off the plane and took a taxi. As for you...why are you so dumb? I left with a taxi, so can't you hail one and come over yourself?"
"Yeah right, you abandoned all our luggage with me and left by yourself. I was claiming them when you went missing, so I thought you went to the bathroom. In the end, I waited for you here... How can you blame me for that?"
Denver felt increasingly dumb as he spoke.
On the other hand, Rainie became even more embarrassed.
"Alright, alright, I'll buy you some good food later, so hurry up and come over."
Rainie was afraid that Denver might have more to complain about, so she quickly hung up the phone and sent the location to him.
Mango couldn't help but laugh when she saw the interaction between the two siblings.
"You're laughing? You have the heart to laugh at us? If it weren't for me being so worried about you, I wouldn't have treated Denver like this... I feel so sorry for my dear brother."
Rainie glared fiercely at Mango.
"Fine, it's all my fault, I'll treat you to supper, alright?"
Mango gestured at Rainie and tried to soothe her.
She knew that Rainie and Denver were genuinely concerned for her.
"That's more like it."
Only then was Rainie pleased as she stopped nagging Mango and finally noticed Anaya, who had been leaning against the wall and looking at them.
"Eh? Who is this?"
Rainie was confused as she had never met Anaya.
Mango hurriedly explained to her about Anaya's background.
At that moment, Rainie began to feel pity for Anaya as she found out that Anaya became mute as a result of abuse.
"Poor girl... my name is Rainie Blu, and you can call me Auntie Blu. From now on, whenever Mango has no time for you, you can always come to me. Don't worry, I'll be there."
Anaya looked at Rainie and nodded obediently as she felt that Rainie was as kind as Mango.
"I'll go back to my room now."
Anaya gestured before returning to her bedroom.
Rainie wanted to have a conversation with Anaya, but Mango pulled Rainie to her.
"Did you tell Thomas about Nathan's accident?"
She gestured and asked.
Rainie snorted and said, "Why should I tell him? That guy is a workaholic and does nothing else other than work every single day. I always have to take the initiative to contact him, and even then, he takes half a day to reply to me! So, I have absolutely no intention of letting him know about this."
Mango felt guilty upon hearing Rainie's words.
"Please have Nathaniel recover as quickly as possible so that he can go back to work. The HY Group belongs to the Ye family, not the Songs. Is it really necessary for Thomas to sacrifice everything else just to work for the HY Group?"
Rainer became angrier as she spoke.
Mango hurriedly brought her a cup of hot water as she was afraid that Rainie would really start a fight with Thomas if she became too triggered.
Nathaniel was indeed to blame for this as he paid all his attention to Mango and left all business affairs to Thomas.
Rainie somewhat regained her composure after drinking the glass of water.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about him anymore. Ugh, he's just another blockhead. I don't care if he spends the rest of his life working."
Rainie looked at Mango and said with a smile, "I heard that this place produces jade, so how about you accompany me to buy a few beautiful ones later?"
"Sounds good."
