"Is he about to wake up?"
Mango looked at him after Noah casually said that. Mango honestly did not know how to look at Nathaniel now.
Mango wanted to go out, but she decided against it after a moment.
"Let's go back first."
Noah gave Mango a glance. They couldn't interfere in this kind of matter and it would seem like they were trying to find an excuse for Nathaniel if they said something. Hence, it was better to ignore it.
Genevieve knew what Noah was thinking. Then, she looked at Mango as she sighed and followed Noah out.
Nathaniel felt very tired and uncomfortable. He was shocked for a moment after he opened his eyes.
"Where am I?"
He turned his head and looked at the unfamiliar room. He stunned for a moment when he saw Mango and his mind was completely empty.
"Mango? Why are you here?"
Nathaniel's expression was very dull.
Mango sighed. Her heart was filled with grievances and pain, but she suppressed her expression when she saw Nathaniel. Coupled with her own speculation, she walked over to Nathaniel's bed and poured him a cup of water.
"Drink some water. Your throat must be very uncomfortable now after drinking so much."
Nathaniel took the cup of water and gulped everything down. He began to recall something after that.
His brows suddenly furrowed.
"No, where is Rainie?"
Nathaniel sat up suddenly and found that his upper body was naked.
"What's going on?"
His brows were tightly knitted together.
Mango finally understood. It was impossible for a guilty man to feel nothing and it was even more impossible for him to not remember anything. Noah said that someone had drugged him, and there was no way he could do anything after that. It seemed like it was true when she looked at Nathaniel's condition.
"Nothing, put on your clothes."
Mango handed the clothes over to Nathaniel and
she frowned slightly after smelling the alcohol on them.
"Why did you drink so much?"
Nathaniel took the clothes and he was also affected by the smell.
"What's going on?"
"You don't know what happened? Didn't you drink?"
Mango was a little puzzled. However, she could see that Nathaniel didn't seem to know anything. Perhaps Nathaniel's acting skills were very good, but Mango knew that he would admit it if he drank.
Nathaniel knew that something had happened after listening to what Mango had said.
"Have you seen Rainie? Something happened to her family."
Nathaniel changed the topic very sudden. However, Mango only paused for a moment before catching up to him.
"Is it a big deal?"
"Yes, at least for now and it may be something that I can't solve. I don't know who her family has provoked. Her parents are now detained in the customs. They were abducted by some anonymous people before my men could even get there. Their business was sealed up too. I haven't found out the details yet, but it is said that everyone that was related to the Blu family was badly affected. I just received the news and learned her whereabouts. I was going to come and see her, but I didn't know why I fainted. I only remember that I only drank a cup of wine."
Nathaniel knew that something must have happened, but he didn't have much of an impression. He guessed that it must have something to do with him when he saw Mango's expression. However, he simply couldn't recall anything as he was in a fragmented state.
Mango knew that all of these might have been plotted by Rainie because something had happened to the Blu family. It might not have anything to do with Nathaniel.
"Was this the phone call you received just now in grandpa's house?"
"Yes. I was afraid that you would be worried for Rainie at that time, so I planned to tell you only after I investigated the matter. I didn't expect... what happened?"
"It's fine. It's probably because Rainie didn't want us to intervene with her matters. She gave you some drugs and made you sleep for a while."
Mango spoke in a light and calm voice.
She did not feel any sense of discomfort anymore now compared to the anger and grievances she had just now. She just started to worry about Rainie.
What kind of problem could not be solved by Nathaniel?
Nathaniel frowned with a look of disgust on his face as he put his clothes on. Then he whispered, "I have to talk to Thomas about this."
"Does Thomas know it?"
"It's impossible that Rainie did not get help from him. She would definitely not want to get us and Thomas into trouble if something really serious happened. I'm just afraid that Thomas would do something out of impulse."
Nathaniel sniffed the smell on his body again and whispered, "I'd better take a bath first and ask someone to send me a set of clothes."
"Alright."
Mango called Toby and asked him to buy a set of clothes after Nathaniel went to the bathroom.
The sound of water could be heard from the bathroom and Mango's brows were tightly knitted together.
Was Rainie trying to hide away from Mango for the rest of her life?
They had such a good relationship, but Rainie had used Nathaniel to end their friendship. She knew that Mango valued cleanliness, whether was it mental or physical. Therefore, she used this method and planned to cut contact with Mango. She had done this so that Mango would be able to completely cut off her relationship with the Blu family, right?
Mango still remembered how much Rainie had done for her. After returning to the Blu family, she had even gone across the border with her brother to help with Mango's matter. Rainie had been busy for such a long time because of Mango. They didn't have a proper chat now that Mango came back, and Rainie had made such a decision just because of her family matters.
Mango was very upset.
It was the real feeling she felt now.
She was very devastated.
Mango would have made a prompt decision if anyone had done something with Nathaniel. Rainie knew about this, so she didn't hesitate to do this.
Mango's gripped the bedsheets with her hand tightly that she almost tore a hole in them.
