Chapter 235


    Mango quickly lowered her head, but she was unable to hide the shock in her heart.


    How could it be her?


    In fact, Queena looked very simr to the woman in the photo that she had taken from the Hans


    family.


    Next, she suddenly thought of Andrea''s family photo.


    Was this woman Andrea''s mother?


    Could there be such a coincidence?


    Mango''s heart was beating fast.


    Meanwhile, Queena asked curiously, "Miss Shen, do you know me?"


    "Uh...no, I don''t know you. I once saw you in Andrea''s family photo so I was just a little surprised."


    Mango replied to Queena with a smile.


    When Queena heard Andrea''s name, she frowned slightly.


    "Oh, so you know Andrea. Are you two friends?"


    "I don''t think we are. I met her in the hospital earlier, and unfortunately, we had a little conflict."


    In fact, thest thing that Mango wanted was to be friends with Andrea.


    She must be insane if she ever wanted to be friends with a woman who swore to take


    Nathaniel However, Queena did not seem to mind much and she smiled while she said, "I have


    some medical knowledge, so I helped bandage your wound earlier. It''s pretty remote out here and


    doctors don''te by often. However, you should go to the hospital if you don''t feel well."


    "Thank you for saving me. I don''t know how to repay your kindness though."


    "It''s nothing. I like peace and quiet when I paint, so Ie here from time to time to do it. There''s


    food in the kitchen fridge, and you''re wee to make some food if you''re hungry. People have


    said that I’ m rather odd, so I hope you don’t mind that."


    After Queena finished speaking, she left the room.


    Indeed, she was quite entric.


    As Mango thought of this, her stomach growled and it was kind of pointless for her to deny her


    hunger. Furthermore, she had nowhere else to go.


    Then, she followed Queena out of the darkroom and saw her headed straight to the bedroom.


    "Mrs. Yu, are you going to rest? I''m going to make something to eat, how about you sleep after you


    have something to eat first?"


    Mango only said this because she noticed Queena''s sleepy expression.


    Queena paused for a moment before she turned around and said to Mango, "I''m unmarried, so you


    can call me Ms. Xiao or Aunt Xiao."


    "Huh? Aren''t you Andrea''s mother?" Mango was a little confused.


    Queena replied faintly, "Yeah...I am her mother indeed, but I''m not married."


    Her exnation made Mango a little confused, but she was too polite to ask any further.


    Then, Queena went upstairs to her bedroom and she shut the door. However, Mango was still deep


    in thought.


    What was going on here? Queena was Andrea’s mother and she was in their family photo, but she


    still insisted that she was unmarried.


    Mango thought about it for a long time but she did not reach a conclusion. So, she just pushed the


    thought aside instead.


    Next, Mango went to the kitchen. After she opened the fridge, she noticed the abundance of


    ingredients inside. Clearly, Queena really enjoyed living in this mansion alone.


    However, she had no idea if Andrea would suddenly show up. If she did not, then it would be good


    for Mango to stay here for a few days if Queena allowed her to do so.


    Mango sighed softly as she took out two tomatoes and some eggs. Next, she quickly whipped up


    some egg noodles.


    After she was done, Mango left the kitchen with two bowls of noodles and she went upstairs with


    one bowl.


    "Aunt Xiao, I''ve made some noodles. Please have some before you go to sleep."


    Actually, it was weird to offer Queena’s own food back to her, but Mango still had to show her


    gratitude to Queena though.


    Queena was freshly out of the shower when she opened the door. When she saw the egg noodles


    in Mango''s hands, she froze as if an old memory had crossed her mind. Then, her eyes began to fill


    with tears at the sight of the noodles.


    "Aunt Xiao, what''s wrong? Are the spring onions I''ve put in there causing your eyes to sting?"


    Mango was at a loss about what to do in this situation.


    Nevertheless, Queena shook her head and she whispered, ''T m really bad at making noodles. I


    haven''t eaten this for many years."


    Mango was a little bashful when she heard that.


    "It''s already midnight so I think it''s better to have some light food. Aunt Xiao, if you think it''s too


    simple, I''ll make a proper bowl for you tomorrow morning."


    "There''s no need for that. This is great, thank you."


    Queena took the noodles and she smiled. After that, she closed the door without even inviting


    Mango toe inside and sit.


    Mango rubbed at her nose which Queena nearly hit when she closed the door.


    Indeed, Queena was a really strange woman.


    Mango shook her head and went downstairs. After that, she wolfed down her noodles quickly and


    she felt energized again.


    "Ah crap, I lost my phone on the way here." Mango had just realized her problem now.


    Well, losing it could be a good thing, at least it would prevent others from finding out her location.


    Then, Mango saw andline in the vi but she wasn’t sure if she could use it. So, she took the


    opportunity to go upstairs once again.


    "Aunt Xiao, can I use the vi''sndline?"


    "Sure, go ahead."


    Queena''s voice came faintly, with a hint of tears.


    Was she crying?


    That could not be, right?


    Was her bowl of noodles so disgusting to eat?


    Mango scratched the nape of her neck in confusion as she felt that her noodles were fine. At least


    Zion and Rita had particrly enjoyed eating them.


    In the end, she could not understand and she gave up on investigating it since Queena was a weird


    woman anyway.


    Next, she went downstairs and picked up the phone to call Nathaniel immediately.


    When the line connected, Nathaniel''s indifferent voice came through the receiver.


    "Hello?"


    "Nathan, it''s me, Mango!"


    Mango quickly told him who she was over the phone.


    "Uh! Where are you? How could you be so reckless as to jump out of a car! It’s bad that Thomas


    was stupid enough to agree with your idea, but how could you be such a moron to even suggested


    it? Did you think that you wouldn’t be hurt after you jumped out of a fast-moving car?"


    As soon as Nathaniel heard Mango''s voice, those worries and uneasy thoughts burst out


    immediately.


    Almost a day had passed with no news about Mango. Even Thomas had no idea where Mango


    was, and her mobile phone was still turned off.

    In this situation, Nathaniel could not do anything. Furthermore, the incident at the construction site


    still bothered him and he could not get away from it at all.


    Nathaniel was on the verge of losing his mind and he''d nearly release a missing person''s notice on


    TV.


    Fortunately, Nathaniel was reassured by the fact that Abyss seemed to be still looking for Mango as


    well.


    Now that Mango called him back, Nathaniel was almost worried to death.


    For the first time, Mango realized that Nathaniel had quite a healthy lung capacity to be able to say


    so many words without losing his breath.


    She kept the phone some distance away from her ear until Nathaniel finished shouting. Then, she


    said, "I''m fine, apart from some scrapes on my knees. Don''t worry about me...I''ve been rescued by


    ady, and I''m at a secluded vi right now. Plus, I lost my phone on the way here, but that''s a good


    thing because no one can find me through the phone''s signals. Rx, I''m just fine."


    "Ady? Who is she? Do you know her? Can you trust her? You know how dangerous the whole


    situation is right now, so just wait two days for me, okay? I''ll settle the incident at the construction


    site before then and I’ll take you home after that. Do you have any information about the woman


    that rescued you? I''ll have Thomas look into her."


    "Don''t! Please don''t do that!"


    Mango became anxious when she heard that.


    "Nathan, won''t Abyss find out where I am if you have Thomas investigate her? Don''t worry about


    me, all that matters now is that I’m safe and nothing bad will happen to me. So, I''ll call you every


    day using this number and since you asked for two days’ time, I’ll wait for you here. But you have to


    be careful with Abyss as he’s not going to stop until he finds me."


    Mango was still worried about Nathaniel''s case.


    It was not easy to handle death''s case at the construction site and Nathaniel had spread himself


    thin already. Thus, she did not wish to add to his worries.


    On the other hand, Nathaniel still concerned about her.


    "But I''m also worried about your condition now."


    "Stop worrying, all right? The ce is pretty secluded and I won’t leave the vi anyway. Plus, I’m


    only going to stay here for a few days and I’ll leave when the owner leaves so that no one knows


    I’m here. What’s more, Abyss would never find out that I’ m staying in this vi so I can assure you


    that I’m safe here. Just do what you have to do and we’ll meet again soon, okay?" "Is it really all


    right?"


    "Didn''t I just say that it''s fine? I''ll call you every night just so you can be sure that I’m safe, don’t


    worry."


    Mangoforted Nathaniel.


    Although Nathaniel was still a little worried, there was nothing else he could do about it now.


    In fact, Abyss'' move had caught them unprepared. If they wanted Mango to be able to leave safely,


    they needed to keep her location a secret from everyone.


    Then, Nathaniel sighed and said, "Take care of yourself okay? Call me if you need anything. If not,


    then have thatdy buy you a phone and I''ll pay her backter. Oh yeah, do you have any money


    on you? Just in case..."


    "Okay, okay, don''t worry about me. I can handle it myself, rx."


    Nathaniel’s words reminded Mango that she had absolutely nothing with her right now, let alone


    money. However, was it a good idea for her to tell this to him?


    If that man knew she did not have a single cent on her now, he would search every corner of the


    United States for her.


    She could only reassure Nathaniel that she was fine in order to avoid any unnecessary trouble.


    However, Nathaniel was still worried about Mango but there was nothing he could do about it now.


    "I''m sorry that you’re going through this because of me."


    Nathaniel always thought he would be able to give Mango a good life if they were reunited. After all,


    the two of them had proven that they loved one another enough to spend the rest of their lives with


    each other. However, who knew that Abyss would stubbornly hold on to Mango? Now that Abyss


    wasing after them, and Nathaniel found that hecked the ability to protect Mango.


    This fact annoyed him very much.


    Meanwhile, Mango could hear Nathaniel''s irritation through the phone.


    Nathaniel Ye was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and it seemed like he had never failed at


    anything in his life. So, Mango was certain that this was the first time he’d ever faced so much


    difficulty after he came to the United States for Mango and their children.


    "Nathan, I''m not that fragile. So, I''m content to be anywhere as long as I’m with you. Don''t worry,


    this is just a temporary situation and you can rest assured that I''ll take care of myself. After this,


    we’ll be free to live out the rest of our lives in Ocean City. Furthermore, don''t you think I''ll be happier


    living there under your protection?"


    Mango replied gleefully but Nathaniel could not manage to feel any happiness at all.


    The road ahead of them was very difficult, and no one knew what Abyss had nned for them in


    the future. Thus, Nathaniel just wanted to get this over as soon as possible so he could bring


    Mango home.
