"Mango, you have to stay strong. Nathan's current situation isn't the best but that is the safest method to keep him alive. I'll contact my acquaintances and ask around to see if there are any experts who can treat Nathan, so don't be too discouraged."
Noah comforted Mango as he noticed that Mango's face had turned pale.
Mango knew what Noah meant.
She had no idea who else could save Nathaniel if even Noah had no solution.
"I see... Thank you for your hard work."
Mango thanked Noah and the doctors out of courtesy although she was extremely sad and heartbroken.
"There's no need to thank us as we didn't help much... Alright, I'll go back to Ocean City right away and use my connections to look for the experts, and I'll inform you as soon as I receive any news."
Noah was also very anxious.
Mango nodded her head.
Then, the two parted with each other.
Mango felt extremely distressed deep down as she returned to the ward and saw Nathaniel lying on the hospital bed.
She hugged Nathaniel and cried without making a sound before she raised her head to wipe her tears. Then, she held Nathaniel's hand and said in her heart, "I will certainly find a way to treat you!"
Mango told herself not to give up and that there was still hope.
She gave Nathaniel a kiss and then she heard a knock at the door.
Mango was slightly taken aback as she quickly stood up and went out of the room before seeing Marquis and another person standing outside the ward.
She was somewhat confused.
Marquis hurriedly explained, "Mrs. Ye, there's something I need to tell you."
Mango nodded her head and went to the courtyard with the two men as she didn't want to disturb Nathaniel.
"This is Colten Turner."
Marquis introduced before he continued, "Here's the thing, you've taken over Edolie's business, and now her partner Boston has run away. The men we arrested yesterday confessed and we found that Boston has committed many crimes and illegal activities, so the authorities have already issued an arrest warrant while his bank accounts have also been frozen. So, Colten would like to know if you're interested in taking over the entire tourism industry? If yes, then you can compensate Boston's funds through your own means and the whole tourism industry will become yours. As such, you'll also get to enjoy some preferential treatment and policies in the city."
Mango finally grasped the whole situation upon hearing Marquis's words.
Now that Boston had escaped, there were still many people waiting to be paid.
She looked at Nathaniel before recalling that it wasn't a good idea to transfer him elsewhere, and they might have to stay here for some time. Although the Ye Family was rich, she didn't want others to know about Nathaniel's current situation as the HY Group would be in a mess.
Nevertheless, she would still have to pay for his costly medical expenses.
She must have a source of income here if she were to fork out the medical costs, as her profits from the Carnucopia Mall could not cover her expenses in this city.
Mango knew that she had to be independent.
At the thought of this, Mango nodded and typed on her phone. "Alright, I'll take out a sum of money to invest and take over the tourism industry, but I'll need Colten's help as I'm not familiar with this place."
"That's for sure. If you intend to take over the business, you'll have to sign a contract with the city's municipality, and we'll be able to cooperate then."
Mango nodded her head at Deputy Mayor Su's words.
Rainie and Denver were currently on their way to Molvania and Mango had no idea when they would be back, so she didn't know if it would be a problem for her to draw out some funds from the Carnucopia Mall now.
She asked hesitantly, "How much will I need to invest?"
"Not much, two million dollars would suffice."
Mango was taken aback by Deputy Mayor Su's words.
Two million?
The Ye Family wouldn't have any issue forking out this amount of money, but Mango had no means of paying it right now.
"I'll transfer the money to you tomorrow." "Alright!"
Then, Marquis and Colten left.
Mango sat in the pavilion with her brows furrowed in deep concern.
Two million?
Would Nathaniel have two million dollars with him right now?
Mango gave it a thought before going back into the hospital.
She asked the doctor where Nathaniel's clothes were as he was wearing a hospital gown now.
The doctor brought Mango to the storage room and passed Nathaniel's clothes to her.
Mango looked through his clothes but couldn't find any bank card nor cash.
"Where are his belongings?"
Mango asked.
The doctor shook his head and said, "He didn't have any items with him when he came, and we've searched for them too. You can have a look at the surveillance cameras to check it out. Perhaps his belongings were destroyed when the car exploded?"
Mango's heart sank.
Whoever took Nathaniel's bank card would have no means of using it as the card would be useless without the password, but what about his
personal belongings?
Nevertheless, Mango couldn't find them.
She went back to Nathaniel's ward with disappointment.
"Where did you put your bank card? Is it in the hotel?"
Mango thought about it for a moment before returning to the hotel, but she still couldn't find Nathaniel's money.
It seemed that he had really lost his valuables.
Suddenly, a serious issue sprang into Mango's mind. All costs incurred during their vacation were covered by Nathaniel and she did not bring any money as she left in a hurry. Also, she had used the money that Rainie had given her last time to buy a car and equipment from Merle. However, the equipment was ultimately useless, and Mango did not have a penny left now.
She probably wouldn't even have the money to check out from the hotel.
