However, Mango did not voice out her question out loud. Meanwhile, Newell quickly got someone to pour a cup of warm water for Mango.
"Sit down quickly. It must be difficult for you to stand a long time now that your stomach is this protruded."
Mango remembered she and Sisi had become pregnant almost at the same time. Thus, when she saw Sisi's pregnant tummy, she couldn't help feeling a bit sad when she thought of the baby that she had lost. However, she kept her feelings to herself so that Sisi couldn't tell that she was upset.
Meanwhile, Sisi's face was filled with happiness.
"Well, it's alright. Every woman has to go through this once in a lifetime. I've checked with the doctor, and there's only one baby in my tummy. Hmm... I'm a little disappointed somehow, though."
The Ye family had always given birth to twins, Hence, Sisi thought that she would have twins too as she was Koiton's daughter. Every time she saw Zion and Rita, she wanted a pair of opposite-sex twin babies too. Besides, if she gave birth to twins, she would not have to get pregnant again in the future.
However, she never thought that she didn't inherit any of the Ye family's genes. Thus, she only had one baby.
Mango smiled and said in response, "It's fine as long as the child is healthy."
"That's true."
Sisi suddenly laughed.
Newell pulled Sisi and whispered, "Why don't we let Mango rest since she just returned? We can talk more later."
After all, they were now in a critical situation. Mango came back for Nathaniel. Thus, Newell had to remind Sisi to keep her priorities straight because she was more ignorant.
Sisi reacted and quickly said, "Ah, Mango, I'm so sorry. I forgot about everything else because I was too happy to see you! Why don't you go up and take the rest? I'm not sure when the reporters will leave, and I'm worried that something else will happen soon. Now that Nathaniel has been locked up, we need to rely on you to help us too..."
"It's okay. Don't worry. I'll go up and have a rest first. We'll talk later, alright?"
Mango's body was really painful from her injuries. She had managed to put up with it till now, but she
could no longer hold on anymore.
"Alright."
Sisi quickly made a way for Mango.
Mango smiled in return and went up to her bedroom.
However, she heard Sisi's voice when she was about to take off her clothes.
"Mango, Rainie and Dr. Xiao have arrived."
"Let them in."
Mango felt that Emberly and Rainie were really reliable. They had arrived right on time when she was still thinking about how to take off her clothes herself.
Meanwhile, she was taking her coat off when Rainie brought Emberly in.
She was wearing a black jacket, so nobody saw anything from outside. But when she took the jacket off, everyone could tell that the blood had always soaked through her clothes. It had even turned to scab, and it would be hard to scrape it off!
"Oh My God! Mango, are you even human? Are you immune to pain? How could you go to the police station to look for Nathaniel in your current state?"
Rainie's expression suddenly changed when she saw Mango's wound.
Of course, Mango was in tremendous pain, but she just said playfully, "How did you know that I went to the police station?"
"Noah told me that."
Mango was stunned after hearing Emberly's words.
"Huh? Did both of you go to his place?"
"No. Noah was about to board a plane when we arrived, so we met him on the way here. Anyway, we just talked a bit."
Emberly said faintly, but Mango felt somewhat uncomfortable after hearing this.
"Where is Noah going by plane?"
"In B City."
Emberly looked at Mango as she replied with a faint smile.
After hearing her words, Mango's heart thumped rapidly.
"Did something happen to Nathan?"
Mango could only think of this reason.
Noah wouldn't leave Ocean City so easily now because Genevieve was pregnant. Mango raked her brain to think of the reason he had left Ocean City and hurried to B City. In the end, she concluded that his departure had something to do with Nathaniel.
Rainie glared at Emberly and quickly said, "Hey... you don't have to worry so much. What could happen to Nathaniel right now? Noah only went there to participate in a medical conference. It's just a coincidence."
"Is that true?"
Mango did not look at Rainie when she asked that.
After all, she knew Rainie's personality well. Rainie would want her to ignore everything else that was happening so that she could focus on recovering. Hence, she looked at Emberly and asked the question.
Emberly shrugged slightly in reply and did not deny it.
However, Mango understood everything right now.
Something must have happened to Nathaniel!
He was still fine when she left. Why did something happen to him so suddenly?
What was wrong with him?
What sickness did he have?
Did someone hurt him?
Countless thoughts were running in Mango's brain.
Emberly said faintly, "Why? Do you want to go back?"
Her question stunned Mango.
Was Mango going back to B City?
Of course not!
She had finally made her way back to Ocean City according to their enemies' wishes. Now that Nathaniel was not with her, they would definitely take this opportunity to attack her. So, how could they let her leave just like that?
Mango was now a target as all their enemies would now be keeping their eyes on her. In fact, Nathaniel's would be in more danger if she went back now.
