Nathaniel's voice was not loud, and there were no fluctuations in his emotions. However, for some reason, it made Mango shiver a little.
It had been a long time since she saw Nathaniel like this.
Eugene's frown deepened.
"I don't want to fight with you, but Emberly didn't leave the operating table today."
Denver hurried to speak when he heard what Eugene said.
"Um... we are not in a hurry. We can also do it tomorrow."
Mango glanced at Denver and knew that he was thinking for the sake of them. Before he could say anything, he heard Eugene say, "Alright, then let's do it tomorrow. My wife is too tired today, and it's my daughter's birthday today."
There was no reason for Mango and the rest to continue anymore.
"Yes, we will look for Dr. Xiao tomorrow. Eugene, I'm sorry. We didn't know it's your daughter's birthday today."
Mango hurriedly spoke before Nathaniel as she was scared that Nathaniel would get mad.
Eugene looked at Mango, and his expression softened.
"Thank you. You can come to my daughter's birthday party tonight."
"All right."
Mango immediately agreed.
Nathaniel's face did not relax.
"Why are you so polite to him?"
These words were spoken in front of Eugene, making Mango feel a little embarrassed.
"Shut up."
She said softly. However, Eugene's hearing was excellent, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
"Haha! Nathaniel, your wife is more sensible than you are."
"Get lost!"
The more Nathaniel looked at it, the more he felt that Eugene was an eyesore. He immediately led Mango, Denver, and the rest to a nearby hotel.
However, Eugene smiled and said, "Don't stay in the hotel. I have a house here."
"I don't care!"
Nathaniel left with Mango without accepting his offer. He was upset like a kid.
Mango was a little speechless.
"Why are you acting like a child? After all, he is Dr. Xiao's husband. Besides, we really didn't know it's his daughter's birthday today. What gift are you going to give his daughter tonight?"
Mango's words caused Nathaniel to snort coldly and say, "Hah! What gift? He pampers his daughter so much, so any of our normal gifts won't surprise her. Don't think too much about it. You can just buy her a gift according to what normal girls like. I'm just a little angry. We're brothers after all, yet he embarrassed me in front of my wife."
Mango laughed when he heard that Nathaniel was mad for this reason.
"Haha! Are you kidding me? Why are you so childish?"
"Well, I am childish."
Nathaniel went through the check-in procedures while speaking.
Ned went back to their room with Denver.
Mango was a little worried. Nathaniel said in a low voice, "It's fine. I've already asked Ned to find a nurse. Someone will take care of Denver tonight. Don't worry."
"You are always more attentive than me."
Mango finally relaxed.
The two of them cleaned up and headed to Eugene's daughter's banquet.
Eugene hadn't returned yet. Mango and Nathaniel were sitting in the corner and looking at the various kinds of people here. Mango sighed and said, "What is Eugene doing? It feels like there are all kinds of people here."
"He's the boss of the underground society. What do you think?"
Nathaniel's words made Mango slightly stunned.
She was completely unfamiliar with this territory, but she could tell from Eugene's appearance that it was not ordinary.
"We won't see any gangs from any country here, will we?"
"It's possible."
Nathaniel dared not to guarantee.
If Mango hadn't insisted, he wouldn't have allowed her to come here. After all, the people here were complicated, so he was afraid that Mango would be in danger.
Mango was a little surprised.
They did not say hello to anyone, and they kept a low profile.
Nathaniel kept serving dishes to Mango while asking her to eat more.
To be honest, the food here was indeed good, and Mango had eaten quite a bit as well.
"I'll go to the bathroom."
Mango was really full.
"Do you need me to go with you?"
Nathaniel was a little cautious.
Mango naturally knew what Nathaniel was worried about. She smiled and said, "Nah, you don't need to. I'm just going to a bathroom. Don't worry, I promise that I won't provoke anyone. I'll take another route around if I see people. So, they won't have many chances to do anything to me."
"Um... that's not what I meant."
Nathaniel was a little upset.
"Forget it, just go."
He thought to himself that it would be better to find someone to follow Mango. After all, the people here were really mixed up.
Seeing that he had agreed, Mango got up and walked towards the bathroom.
"I'll be back soon."
"All right."
Nathaniel nodded, but he still went ahead with his plans.
Mango did know that Nathaniel was worried about her, so she usually turned a blind eye to his arrangements.
