"No, don't cry. I'm telling the truth. The child is still alive. We didn't lose it."
No matter how hard Nathaniel tried to explain, Mango felt that he was just trying to comfort her.
Just when Nathaniel didn't know what to do, the doctors and nurses entered the ward.
"Oh, Mrs. Ye, what happened? You have to calm down now because you've just recovered from your treatment. You have to think of the child in your belly now."
Mango stopped crying when she heard the doctor's words.
"What did you say? The baby is alive?"
"Yes, the baby's fine. I have to say, this child is really strong-willed. I'm here to give you the baby's ultrasound report. Look at it here."
As the doctor spoke, he handed her the report.
Mango received the report and took a closer look at it. Then, she immediately smiled.
"The baby is still alive, Nathan. She is still alive!"
"Yes, I just said that but you didn't trust me."
Nathaniel was a little upset.
At this moment, Mango was relieved and delighted. She hugged him and said with a silly smile, "Alright, alright. You're right, I should've believed it when you told me. I'm happy as long as the baby is still doing fine. Look, this is our baby."
Mango handed the report to him.
Nathaniel looked at the small black lump on the image and couldn't help but think back to five years ago when Mango went to the hospital alone for an examination. At that time, he was by Macy's side and he didn't even get the chance to see the first ultrasound of the baby.
If he had been able to stay by her side at that time, perhaps she wouldn't have suffered so much, right?
Fortunately, he had a chance now to make up for everything.
Nathaniel carefully kept the report with him. Then, he looked at Mango and said gently, "Lie down, I'll give you a massage."
"Yes, yes, let Mr. Ye give you a massage. Your limbs have been frozen for too long and your blood circulation is poor. You should massage it frequently."
The doctor said quickly.
Upon hearing this, Mango was a little embarrassed.
Nathaniel was rubbing her limbs under the eyes of so many people without a care for the surroundings. Suddenly, her face blushed red as she felt shy.
"Doctor, please give her a full body checkup. Will you see if there are any problems with the other parts of her body?"
Nathaniel continued to massaged her as he spoke to the doctor.
The doctor quickly stepped forward to check.
Mango wanted Nathaniel to stop what he was doing, but he did not listen to her.
After several examinations, it seemed that she was doing alright and she reached a stable state.
"Rest well. This is really a miracle and I wish you the best in the future."
After saying that, the doctor went out with the nurses. In fact, there was nothing more they could do to help her.
Finally, peace had returned. Mango looked at Nathaniel and asked with a smile, "Tell me the truth. Did you ask the doctor to give me any kind of precious medicinal ingredients again?"
"It's Desmond's blood. It's all thanks to him, or else you and the baby may really... Desmond decided to stay with us. He's in charge of my men and I re-established the Dark Night Empire. It now belongs to you completely. Desmond promised that he will only listen to your orders from now on."
Upon hearing this, Mango was stunned for a moment. Then, she said in a low voice, "There's no need to do this. Nathan, we cannot guarantee that an accident will not happen in the future. No matter how well you reinforce the security system, there will always be times when things will fail to go your way. That's why you shouldn't blame yourself just because of this incident. Besides, you've been training the people of Dark Night Empire for so long, are you sure that you're willing to hand it over to Desmond?"
"He is devoted to us and there is nothing to be reluctant about. Besides, he needs to have something to keep himself busy, otherwise, he may find it difficult to stay alive. As you noticed, he has become spiritless and depressed after Marissa's death. I'm really worried about his wellbeing. Anyways, I'm more reassured with him by your side. Also, I have hired a nurse for you and her name is Haniya Bell. I will let you meet her later."
Upon hearing his words, Mango was taken aback for a moment.
"Why are you hiring people again? Didn't we have
Sisi already?"
"You are pregnant nowand Sisi is married. No matter what, Sisi needs some time off for her family after her marriage, right? Besides, Thomas has been very busy these days because of Delilah's matter. As such, you have no one around you and I'm worried about you."
Nathaniel said patiently and Mango remained silent.
"Why are you silent?"
Nathaniel couldn't help but feel a little worried when he saw how quiet Mango was.
Mango smiled and said, "It's nothing since you've already prepared everything for me. What else can I do? Furthermore, I believe in you, and the people that you hired will definitely do their job well."
"Not exactly. After all, the person I've hired previously had brought harm to you."
"That was an accident. Needless to say, aren't we all fine now?"
Mango held his hand tightly.
After this incident, she was even more afraid of death.
She was fond of Nathaniel's gentleness and she didn't want to lose him. Moreover, she wanted to accompany him for a few more years, or even a few decades.
Nathaniel's heart ached when he saw the tenderness in her eyes.
"I'm sorry."
He held her in his arms.
Mango felt exceptionally happy in his arms.
"It's all over now. Why don't you help me massage my legs? It hurts a little."
"All right."
The two of them didn't say anything more as they were both happy and contented.
When Haniya came back and saw this scene, she was a little hesitant about entering the ward.
