"Do you have any other clues?"
Nathaniel looked at the information in his hands and asked.
Ned whispered, "That's all we know now."
"I want to know who the person behind Cecelia is. Go and check who Cecelia has got in touch with after leaving the crew and report it to me."
"Yes, sir. I'll go now."
Ned obeyed the order and left.
Mango was still changing her bandages inside the ward. Nathaniel wanted to go in, but he found out that the door had been locked from the inside.
There were only Emberly and Mango inside. Thus, Mango was probably worried that he would feel uncomfortable when he saw her in this state, so she did this on purpose.
Nathaniel sighed slightly, but his eyes darkened.
Now that Mango was hurt, he would not forgive the preparatory, no matter who this person was!
In the ward, Emberly slightly cut off Mango's clothes, revealing the torn wound inside. She sighed and said, "Alas! What kind of luck do you have? Why do people hate you no matter where you so?" "Haha! I don't know either. I guess others are just jealous of me because I'm too beautiful."
Mango teased with a faint smile, but she suddenly exclaimed and almost jumped up.
"Bah! Go ahead and tease me. You're already injured like this, so why can't you be more careful?"
Emberly glanced at her and said calmly, but she dabbed on Mango's wounds lightly.
Mango knew that Emberly was soft-hearted even though she spoke to her harshly. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Doctor Xiao, when will the wounds on my body heal completely?"
"Huh? I can even see your bones here! Are you still thinking of getting out of the hospital within these few days? Be good and stay here. Don't think of going out of the hospital before this month ends."
Emberly looked at the wound on Mango's body, and her eyes sank a bit.
"Have you ever thought of treating your burn scars?"
Emberly didn't know much about the matter between Mango and Nathaniel. She didn't like gossiping either, but she could tell that Mango had gotten the burns a few years back.
She was just a little curious as to what had happened between Nathaniel and Mango. Furthermore, Mango was such a beautiful woman, so how did she end up getting injured from head to toe?
Mango was slightly stunned.
She had almost forgotten the scars on her body if Emberly had not brought this issue up.
"Huh? A burn scar? Isn't it a pretty tattoo?"
Mango smiled faintly.
"Hah! Do you think that I'm blind? You don't have to say if you don't want to. I know that you're slightly allergic to tattoos, but you can't hide your burns easily. I know an excellent dermatologist. So, I can help you contact her if you want to get rid of this. Besides, You can use this opportunity to get rid of all the wounds on your body. Urgh! You're around twenty years old, but you're injured from head to toe! I'm surprised that Nathaniel isn't tired of you yet!"
"What? He would never do that!"
Mango was full of confidence.
As the two chatted for a while more, Emberly had already finished bandaging the wound.
"Alright, I won't get in your way now. Haha! I think that Nathaniel probably wants to kick open the ward door. Anyways, I'll leave first. Call me if you need anything." "Alright."
Mango nodded her head, but her back was wet with cold sweat.
F*ck! Her wounds hurt tremendously!
She would never forgive Gisella!
Emberly saw Nathaniel fiddling with a cigarette in his hands when she came out up. She could even see his panicked gaze as he rushed to meet her.
"Why did you close the door?"
"Your wife's injury is a little serious, and I was worried that she would get an infection because of the wind. Besides, I was worried that you would come in without notifying us, so I locked it. You can rest assured that I did not bully her."
Emberly said calmly and paused for a moment before continuing continued, "The tattoo on her body is a little infected. You need to make sure she gets skin-grafting surgery to treat it soon."
Nathaniel's body suddenly stopped.
"Does it hurt?"
"What?"
"Will the skin-grafting surgery hurt?"
Emberly looked at Nathaniel and said in a cold voice.
"Well, it will, but not as much as it did when the flames burnt her."
Nathaniel's face turned pale when he heard this.
"I see. Let's find a reliable doctor."
"Hmm... It seems that your wife doesn't really want to do it."
"I'll persuade her then."
Emberly left after Nathaniel said this.
She had already said all that she wanted to say. Thus, Nathaniel and Mango had to make the decision themselves.
Mango was lying motionless on the bed when Nathaniel entered the room.
He found out that Mango was asleep as he walked over quietly.
However, he could tell that she wasn't sleeping well. She was frowning, and both her hands were grabbing the bedsheets. Her fingertips were a bit white, and her face was too pale!
Nathaniel gently lifted the blanket, and Mango's injured back appeared in front of him.
When he looked at her burns, he could tell that the tattoos were a little reddish.
Was Mango allergic to some substances in her current medication?
Nathaniel didn't know the truth, but he immediately started recalling the past when he saw the burns underneath the tattoos.
Was it a blessing or a curse for Mango to fall in love with him?
Nathaniel actually knew that Mango would probably live a better life than now if he let go of her.
He thought of this not long ago when Mango wanted to divorce him.
The Ye family was too complicated, and his identity was too secretive. There were too many schemes surrounding him, and Mango could never live a peaceful and safe life because of all these.
Perhaps she would fall in love with an ordinary man if he let go of her. That man would not be as outstanding as him, but he could give her a stable and peaceful life. After all, this was probably what Mango wanted the most too.
However, Nathaniel's chest would hurt so much that he would feel suffocated at the thought of letting Mango go.
He didn't want to do that!
Even if he had to drag Mango into his complicated life, he was reluctant to let her go.
After all, she was his lifeline!
