"Sisi!"
Mango was scared out of her wits. She tried to run inside, but Nathaniel stopped her.
"Stay outside. I'll go in and have a look."
After saying that, Nathaniel handed her over to Ned and ran inside quickly.
Mango was particularly worried as she watch his figure.
"Ned, go inside as well. I don't know what's going on, but that explosion was loud. Laney and Sisi are both women. Furthermore, Sisi is pregnant. I don't know where Newell is, but Nathan can't do it on his own!"
Mango's words made Ned hesitate for a while.
"But Mr. Ye asked me to take care of you."
"I'm fine. What can happen to me here? I'll call the police now. You go quickly."
Mango pushed Ned and quickly picked up the phone to make a call.
Seeing Mango like this, Ned quickly ran in to help.
After Mango finished the call, she saw a figure running towards her before she could even turn around. Due to the smoke, she could only see that the person looked familiar, but she couldn't see their face clearly.
"Who are you?"
The person threw a handful of powder at Mango.
A sweet scent filled Mango's nostrils, and she fainted.
When she woke up again, she was already in the hospital.
"You're awake? Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Nathaniel looked at her anxiously, and he looked pale.
Mango shook her head and asked in puzzlement, "What's wrong?"
"You fainted on the roadside, and fortunately, I came out in time. What's happened? The doctor said that you had low blood sugar. Hmm... is it because you didn't eat? Your body is weak, and you're eating for two now. Don't miss your meal for your figure, okay?"
Nathaniel did not blame her, but he felt a little distressed.
Mango's mind was muddled, and she even felt a little pain.
"Wait... you said that I fainted on the roadside?"
"That's right.”
"I was drugged!"
Mango said as she touched her head. Nathaniel's face immediately darkened.
"What did you say?"
"I remember everything clearly! I saw a figure running out of the house. I couldn't see his face clearly, but I felt that this person was familiar. I asked who they were, but they threw a handful of powder that tasted sweet on me. I'm not sure what happened next, though."
Mango tried her best to give a detailed explanation, but her headache persisted.
Nathaniel quickly called Ned.
"Check the security cameras quickly and see who she met before she fainted."
News came from Ned's side very quickly. The monitor had been removed.
Nathaniel's face turned even hard.
Who was it?
Who dared to do this?
How dare that person attack Mango right under his nose?
"Let's ask the doctor to have a close- up examination. I thought you fainted because of low blood pressure, but now it seems that that's not what happened. We have to check whether there are any hidden effects."
Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango nodded hear head. Holding back her discomfort, she went to do a full-body examination.
When she waited for the result, she asked Nathaniel, "How are Sisi and Laney? Are they hurt?"
"No."
"Why did the house explode?"
Mango's words caused Nathaniel to sigh and say, "Aunt Laney doesn't know how to use a microwave, so she accidentally put something in it that caused the explosion. Fortunately, she wasn't in the kitchen at the time, and Sisi was taking a walk in the garden. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable! I can't really say anything about it. Everyone will move to the beach villa to live in the next few days. This place will be renovated."
Mango was completely stunned when she heard Nathaniel's words. She had never expected such a result.
"It's good no one got hurt. I thought someone who didn't like us did such a horrible thing."
Mango gave him a mocking smile.
Nathaniel looked a little upset.
"Maybe. Your words make sense, though."
"What?"
Mango felt that Nathaniel was wary.
Nathaniel whispered, "Although the microwave is very powerful, it can't blow up the kitchen and the living room, can it? And when we came back, we did see a figure running by. Who is that person? Why did he come out of our house? I asked aunt and Sisi. They said that no one came home today. So, who is the figure we saw?"
Mango was stunned for a moment before asking, "Do you suspect that someone deliberately created an explosion using the microwave?"
"That's right!"
"Why? Why would they do that?"
Nathaniel thought for a moment and said, "Hmm...maybe they want to kill me, or Aunt Laney."
"Aunt Laney?"
Mango's heart skipped a beat.
Everyone in the Ye Family knew that Mango rarely went to the kitchen, but Nathaniel always prepared food for her every morning. However, Laney would spend most of her time in the kitchen when Nathaniel was not around.
Therefore, they were either targeting Nathaniel or
Laney.
