Walter was stunned.
"Genevieve? What's she doing here?"
At that instant, Mango recalled of an issue.
"Give me a moment, I'll be right back."
Mango rushed towards Genevieve as she spoke.
Walter frowned as he felt that this matter wasn't as simple as he thought, so he followed Mango without asking for her permission.
"Genevieve, how was it? Did you get the results?"
Mango asked with great concern.
Genevieve handed the blood test report to Mango.
"Just as you said, there is poison in the blood and it is slowly accumulating but it's difficult to solve this issue."
Walter came to them as soon as Genevieve finished speaking.
"What is it that is difficult to solve?"
Mango was stunned when she saw Walter coming over.
"What are you doing here?" "Is there anything that you are hiding from me?" Walter looked at Mango and there was no way Mango could hide it from him any longer as she looked at his gaze.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you but I think it's better to talk about it when everyone's here."
Mango put away the test report subconsciously.
Walter nodded his head although he felt nervous when he saw Mango's behavior.
"Fine, I'll wait."
He glanced at Genevieve before taking the initiative to bring Henry into the hospital.
Only then did Mango let out a sigh of relief.
Genevieve whispered when she saw Mango's reaction, "You haven't told him yet?"
"I didn't get the chance to but I'll tell them about it later when everyone is here as Carter will be coming too. We'll let the police inform them about the issues that we can't reveal them ourselves."
Mango didn't want to conceal the truth but she didn't want to repeat the issue every time she saw one of them.
Genevieve patted her on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "I know it's hard on you as it's not a good idea to tell them nor to hide it from them."
"You're right... Walter cares a lot about his reputation and I'm afraid that he might burst with anger after hearing the truth as Novalee's incident was already quite a blow to him."
Mango sighed.
Genevieve shook her head and said, "You're the only person who could tell them considering your relationship with Walter and it's best if you let them know rather than having anyone else reveal it."
"That's not necessarily the case as Walter almost avenged me for Novalee's death."
Genevieve was completely stunned upon hearing Mango's words.
"No way! Does Walter have such deep feelings for Novalee?"
"He may not love her but he attaches great importance to friendship, as you know and Novalee has done a lot for him. She even sacrificed her life to free him from threat in the end and Walter could never repay the debt of gratitude for the rest of his life. He will surely feel more pressured deep down as he couldn't return the favor and I guess Novalee is Walter's karma."
Genevieve nodded her head as she heard Mango's words.
"That's true... Everyone has their karma in the present life and perhaps Novalee has brought a disaster to Walter's life. Anyhow, he will probably live a better life in the future after this incident is over."
"I hope so."
Mango took a deep breath and continued, "I need to go now as I'll have to check on Henry's condition since I promised Novalee to take good care of him. This child has been locked up in an apartment by Novalee and he has probably been in hunger for quite a few days..."
"Alright, go ahead and be careful yourself. I'll go back now as there are several things that I need to settle in my hospital."
"Alright."
Mango bid Genevieve goodbye and rushed into the hospital before she found Walter and Henry according to Walter's guide.
"How is it going?"
Mango asked worriedly as she saw that the doctor was still checking on Henry.
"Nothing serious as Henry is just exhausted and he'll be fine after receiving the nutrient fluid."
Walter whispered.
As they were talking, Carter and Nathaniel arrived followed by Thomas.
"What is he doing here?"
Walter wasn't happy to see Thomas and he would probably have driven Thomas out if Mango and Nathaniel weren't around.
Carter couldn't help but say after hearing Walter's words, "Why can't he be here since he's your brother?"
"I have never accepted him as my brother since the past and neither will I do so in the future."
Carter's expression darkened after hearing Walter's words.
"You unfilial son! You..."
"Uncle Song, I think it's better if you let me finish my words before you talk to him, is that okay?"
Mango stopped Carter in time.
At that instant, Carter shut his mouth perhaps because he was concerned about Mango's identity or Nathaniel's presence. On the other hand, Thomas's expression seemed gloomy as he felt sad being rejected by others and he was even an illegitimate child.
