Chapter 303


    Mango got up and walked away when she took the call because there were some things she didn''t


    want to discuss in front of the children. Hence, she wanted to protect them just in case anything


    went awry.


    "What''s wrong, Uncle?1''


    Mango nodded towards Madam Ye before she left the ward.


    Madam Ye knew who was the caller the moment Mango addressed him as Uncle, but Zion was


    rather confused.


    "Grandma, when did Mommy have an uncle?"


    "Well, you actually have more rtives than you think you do. They''re your mom''s rtives, so in


    turn, they are yours too. I''ll take you to visit them when we have the time."


    Madam Ye didn''t really know how to exin the truth to the children as it was far tooplicated.


    Furthermore, Mango didn''t really have the time to handle the whole affair properly as well.


    After everything was settled, she would definitely bring the kids to meet their rtives.


    "Oh, okay."


    Zion didn''t ask any further and he continued ying with Rita.


    After Mango walked out of the room with her phone in hand, Terrance asked in a low voice, "Mango,


    how are you doing?"


    "I''m fine, what''s the matter?"


    Mango was quite surprised when she heard Terrance''s question. This was because it was unlikely


    for him to know about what happened between her and Edolie nor did she tell him about her face


    being burned.


    Then, Terrance cleared his throat and said, "I''m going to tell you something, but I need you to stay


    very, very calm."


    "What the hell is going on?"


    At that, Mango became quite uneasy.


    Terrance sighed and replied, "Your parents have been worried about you. After you returned from


    overseas, you went straight to the base and we didn''t tell them about what happened over there.


    However, they recently found out that you nearly got shot and Nathaniel saved your life. Because of


    that, your mother got so shocked and she had a heart attack. Right now, she''s been admitted to the


    hospital."


    "Which hospital was she admitted to?"


    Every single muscle fibre in Mango''s body tensed up.


    It was all her fault!


    Why hadn''t she thought about her parents at all?


    Nevertheless, Terrance hurriedly continued when he heard Mango be anxious. "Stay calm, all


    right? When I found out, your mother had already been admitted to the Central Hospital, which is


    where you are at right now. ording to what I know, she''s in Operating Theater 2, so you can go


    and see her."


    "I see. Thank you, Uncle."


    Mango quickly rushed to the operating theatre after she hung up, but she stopped after a few steps


    before she turned back to Rita''s ward. Then, Mango exined everything to Madam Ye and she


    asked the older woman to look after the children before she went to the operating theatre again.


    Zion noticed his mother''s anxiety when he heard that his grandmother had fallen ill. Then, he piped


    up in a worried tone, "Grandma, how about I go with Mommy?"

    "Can you manage that?"


    Madam Ye was concerned about Mango as well.


    Next, Zion nodded quickly and said, "Don''t worry about me. In Mr. Ye''s absence, I''m the man of the


    house now, so I can handle it for sure."


    Madam Ye felt that her grandson was absolutely lovely when he said that, and she nodded at him.


    "Okay, go ahead. Be sure to take care of yourself."


    "I will."


    As Zion hopped off the chair, Rita immediately grabbed hold of his hand and said, "Brother, are you


    going to see grandma? After she gets better, you have to take me to see her too."


    "All right, as soon as you recover, I''ll take you wherever you want to go."


    Zion patted Rita''s head lovingly before he quickly rushed outside.


    Meanwhile, Mango walked briskly all the way to the operating theater and a lump formed in her


    throat when she saw Mr. Shen.


    She hadn''t seen them for only a short time, but Mr. Shen''s sideburns had already gone gray.


    It was obvious howrge of an impact Mango''s true identity had on the older couple.


    Even so, both Mr. and Mrs. Shen were still worried when they knew Mango was in danger.


    Then, Mango cried out in a halting voice, "Dad..."


    Mr. Shen was stunned for a moment before he quickly raised his head and his eyes were filled with


    tears the moment he saw Mango.


    "Mango, your mother, she..."


    "Mom will be fine. I''m sure she''ll be all right."


    Then, Mango took her father''s hand in hers, only to notice how cold it was.


    Meanwhile, Mr. Shen felt more relieved after Mango arrived.


    He muttered, "I''ve never been able to provide your mother with a good life. What would I do if she


    passes away right in front of me?"


    "That won''t happen, dad. How old is Mom anyway? There''s plenty of time left for both of you to


    spend together. Furthermore, you’ve taken care of me for so long, but I haven''t had a chance to be


    a filial daughter yet, so I''m sure that both of you will be fine."


    Tears welled up in the corners of Mango''s eyes.


    Then, Mr. Shen seemed to remember something.


    "Your identity..."


    ''TH always be your daughter. My name is Mango Shen, and it will always be."


    Mr. Shen couldn''t hold back his tears anymore once he heard Mango''s words.


    "But the Hans family..."


    "I have the final say in this. No matter whose child I am, the only thing I know is that you and mom


    were the ones who raised me. You taught me how to walk, talk, and taught me everything about


    being a good person. In my heart, you and mom are my biological parents, so no one can rece


    you."


    "That''s great! Your mother will be relieved to hear that."


    Mr. Shen grasped Mango''s hand tightly as his worries had finally eased.


    In fact, he knew that it would be best if Mango were to return to the Hans Family. s, both he and


    Mrs. Shen were unwilling to let go of Mango.


    He had treated Mango like his own daughter his whole life, so he couldn''t bear the feeling of


    suddenly losing her.


    Since Mango was still willing to ept them as her parents, that was good enough for him.


    When Zion arrived, he saw an old man crying along with Mango.


    He felt a little uneasy as he shouted, "Mommy!"


    Then, Mango raised her head and she was confused to see Zion standing there, but she waved for


    him toe over.


    "Come here and meet your grandfather, Zion." Mr. Shen abruptly raised his head and he became


    excited when he saw the child in front of him.


    "This... this is Zion? Is this your son?"


    "Yeah, he is. Dad, I''ll bring your granddaughter to meet you once Mom is discharged from the


    hospital."


    Mr. Shen nodded quickly at Mango''s words.


    Then, he looked at Zion with excitement in his eyes.


    Zion walked up to him obediently and he said politely, "Nice to meet you, grandpa. My name is Zion


    and I''m four years old."


    "This is great! Good boy! It''s my first time meeting you, so I have no idea what to give you as a gift.


    I''ll pick out a nice toy for youter, but I hope you don''t think my choices are out of style."


    Mr. Shen grasped Zion''s hand excitedly.


    Zion looked like Nathaniel, but the shape of his nose and mouth were definitely inherited from


    Mango.


    He looked at the child in front of him with great relief, as if he''d finally managed to find an heir to his


    bloodline. Thus, this feeling overwhelmed Mr. Shen.


    Zion wasn''t very familiar with Mr. Shen, but he obediently sat next to Mr. Shen when he saw


    Mango''s concerned expression.


    "Grandpa, I don''t want anything from you. I''ll be happy as long as you and grandma are happy and


    healthy. Furthermore, Mommy wouldn''t be so worried anymore, so that would make me very d."


    "Good boy!"


    Then, Mr. Shen held Zion in his arms and he felt as if a void in his heart had been filled.


    As Mango watched them, she cursed herself silently for not bringing the children to see her parents


    sooner.


    They were old, so the only thing they wanted to see was their daughter be happy with her own


    family.


    While they waited, the operating theater light turned off.


    Then, Mrs. Shen was wheeled out of the theater.


    "Doctor, how is my mother doing?"


    Mango quickly stood up to speak to the doctor.


    The doctor removed his mask and said, "Your mother is fine. Due to her old age, her heart is quite


    weak, so it can''t handle too much excitement. Hence, she should refrain from bing too agitated


    in the future. It was fortunate that she was brought here in time as that prevented her from having


    anyplications, but she still needs time to recover."


    "Thank you, doctor."


    Mango let out a sigh of relief when she heard that Mrs. Shen was fine.


    She noticed Mrs. Shen''s pallidplexion and she seemed to have lost weight. Hence, it seemed


    that Mrs. Shen had been rather stressed out over the past few weeks.


    After Mrs. Shen was sent off to the ward, Mango insisted on staying behind to care for her.


    Naturally, Mr. Shen had no objections to that.


    Zion was very well-behaved towards Mr. Shen, which made Mr.Shen favor him immensely.


    They didn''t have to wait very long before Mrs. Shen woke up.


    Then, Mrs. Shen became quite excited when she saw Mango.


    Mango grasped her hand and said, "Mom, the doctor said that you can''t get too excited. I''m fine,


    and so is Nathaniel. We''re all fine. Look, I''ve brought your grandson Zion to see you. Come here,


    Zion!"


    Zion hurriedly walked over to Mrs. Shen after Mango called him and he addressed her as ''grandma''


    in a sweet voice. Hence, Mrs. Shen started to cry when Zion called her that.


    "Hey hey hey, I''m fine. I''m really fine."


    Mrs. Shen felt as if she had recovered instantly when she found out that Mango was all right.


    The entire family chatted animatedly for a while before Mrs. Shen fell asleep due to exhaustion.


    After that, Mr. Shen pulled Mango aside and he asked worriedly, "Are you and Zion being


    mistreated in the Ye Family? I know that our family is nothingpared to the Ye Family or the


    Hans Family, but your mother and I are always here for you. You have to tell me if they''re doing you


    wrong, and I wouldn''t mind risking my life if it means that I could get justice for you."


    Mango was perplexed when she heard Mr. Shen''s words.


    "Dad, what are you talking about? Zion and I are doing just fine in the Ye Family."


    "Don''t lie to me."


    Mr. Shen sighed and said, "All of this happened because your mother and I have been neglectful,


    and you were too afraid to tell us even when you''ve been abused. Although we didn''t agree to your


    marriage with Nathaniel, you have children now. Thus, I won''t stand aside idly if the Ye Family is


    causing trouble for you."


    "Dad, what are you talking about? Did you overhear some weird rumour? My mother-inw and


    Nathan have treated me very well, so why are you asking me this?"


    Mango was truly baffled.


    What was wrong with Mr. Shen?


    Why did he suddenly insist that she and Zion had been abused in the Ye Family?


    Could someone have said something to her parents?
