Chapter 370
On the other hand, Mango insisted on staying with Queena even after Nathaniel tried in vain to
persuade her otherwise. Hence, he could only apany Mango, but he still felt distressed.
Mango was in poor health before this incident with Queena happened, and it only added to her
worries.
Honestly, he was afraid that something bad would happen to Mango.
Meanwhile, Madam Hans hadn''t said anything else to Mango. The olddy had returned home after
she hired a nurse to look after Andrea.
In the meantime, Terrance waited outside until he saw Nathaniel walk out of the room. After that, he
muttered, "We need to talk."
"There''s nothing to talk about. It''s up to Mango to decide what she wants to do about your mother."
Nathaniel replied faintly, and it was clear that he did not want to discuss the matter.
On the other hand, Terrance knew that his mother had been very unreasonable and he
sighed, "My mother is old, and I''m afraid that she''s gone senile."

"Do you know why Minister Xiao tried to kill Andrea and herself?"
Truth be told, Nathaniel felt that Queena''s decision may have been too extreme.
Then, Terrance shook his head and replied, "Perhaps it''s because Madam Hans dotes on Andrea
too much. Queena always felt like she owed Mango, and it ate away at her when Mango couldn''t
join the Hans Family because of Andrea. She really wished that Mango would return to the Hans
Family and formally acknowledge my brother as her father. Unfortunately, everything was dyed
due to my mother''s actions. Furthermore, Andrea sobbed as she used Mango of kidnapping and
drowning her, so my mother believed her and started badmouthing Mango in front of Queena.
Queena tried to reason with my mother initially, but she was adamant on her opinions and Queena
just stopped talking after that."
"Then, Queena told only me that she wanted to celebrate Mango''s birthday. I thought that her spirits
would be lifted if she talked to Mango, but I never expected her to do something this stupid when
she returned."
In fact, Terrance sounded guilty as he said this.
If only he had been able to detect that something was wrong with Queena earlier.
Finally, Nathaniel discovered the root cause of the problem when he heard Terrance''s exnation.
Queena was trying to be filial to the olddy in Dennis'' ce because Madam Hans was her mother
inw. However, her other daughter constantly tried to destroy Mango''s rtionship with Madam
Hans, so Queena felt apologetic towards Dennis and the Hans Family.
Perhaps Queena had argued with Andrea previously, but no one knew about it. Hence, Queena
may have tried to kill Andrea because of her disobedience. Perhaps, Mango would have a better life
is Andrea ceased to exist.
Without a doubt, Queena''s love for Mango was so immense that it was unimaginable.
Unfortunately, no one had noticed it beforehand.
Meanwhile, Mango stood by Queena''s bed as she watched Queena''s calm expression. She couldn''t
help but wonder why her mother chose suicide.
As time passed, Terrance decided to go home as he was worried about his mother. On the other
hand, Nathaniel went off to buy some food for Mango, who still refused to eat. He was afraid that
she might copse.
However, all of that was irrelevant to Mango as she staunchly stayed by Queena''s side.
At some point, the door slowly opened.
Then, Andrea stood behind Mango like a phantom as she watched Queena with an evil glint in her
eye.
"Why? She''s my mother too, but why is she so good to you, yet so cruel to me?"
Andrea''s faint voice rang out in the empty ward and it was incredibly unsettling.
After that, Mango suddenly turned to find Andrea standing behind her. At that moment, Andrea''s
eyes were filled with hatred as she red at Mango and Queena.
"You should know what you did to make mom do that to you."
"Mom? So, you''ve finally acknowledged her, huh?"
Then, Andrea burst outughing manically.
"All I wanted was for her to be kind to me ever since I was a child, but that never happened at all.
Instead, she gave all of her love to you when you showed up. She praised you no matter what you
did and condemned me indiscriminately. She even rejected the food I made for her on your birthday!
Then, she asked to tell Madam Hans that you didn''t kidnap me and throw me in the ocean.
Furthermore, she wanted me to tell the olddy that you sacrificed your child just to get the antidote.
Everything she did was for you, but has she ever thought about me? What would happen if I
admitted to all of that? How would Madam Hans view me then? If so, everything that I''ve done over
the past month would have gone to waste."
Andrea''s words caused Mango to frown.
"But you never did any of those things. Don''t you think you should be honest with Madam Hans?"
"Why should I? Madam Hans is ignorant, and she loves to hear sweet lies. She epts an outsider
like me! But what about my mother? Why can''t she ever think of me? I need her love too! But has
she ever given it to me? Do you know how d I was when she told me that she''d cooked for me?
I''ve waited years for that moment, but I nearly died after eating it. My beloved mother actually tried
to kill me because of you! Mango, why the hell do you exist? Why don''t you just die?!"
As Andrea spoke, she immediately picked up the closest item next to her and charged towards
Mango.
Over the past few days, Mango had been brushing up on her self-defense techniques from
Nathaniel, so she immediately kicked Andrea out of the room the second she moved.
"Ahh!"
Andrea bellowed in frustration and her body flopped around like a limp rag.
However, Mango showed her no mercy.
It was as if she''d beenpletely consumed by rage.
"Get out! Don''t disturb my mother anymore!"
Mango spat out the words coldly before she turned and locked Andrea out of the ward.
After Mango returned to Queena''s bed, she gazed at the unconscious woman as she said, "Why
were you so stupid? So what if Andrea didn''t tell Madam Hans the truth? I never cared what the old
lady thought of me. Do you think it''s worth it to give up your life for a person like Andrea? Or do you
think that there''s nothing to live for anymore? What about me? Don''t you want me anymore?"
Queena''s hand moved very slightly, but it was too small a movement for Mango to notice.
She sat by Queena''s bed and continued, "I''ve always thought there was a huge chasm between us,
and now I know that you really did love me, just in a way that I couldn''t understand. So what if I
never returned to the Hans Family? I don''t care about that at all. In fact, I''ll be content just knowing
that you''re happy and healthy. Why do you insist on meing back to the Hans Family? Am I only
regarded Dennis'' daughter if I acknowledge them? Mom, you''re way too pedantic sometimes."
Mango had no idea if Queena could hear her, but she had to say it anyway.
Meanwhile, Queena remained unconscious while Mango leaned against her bed and slowly fell
asleep.
In her dreams, she seemed to see both Queena and Dennis smiling brightly at her. Then, they
suddenly moved far away as soon as she wanted to say something,
"Mom, dad!"
Then, Mango jerked awake and realised that it was all just a dream.
On the other hand, Nathaniel had returned and he hurriedly checked on Mango once he realised
that she''d had a bad dream, "Are you all right? There''s a sofa inside the room, and you can rest
there if you want. Don''t worry, nothing will happen when I''m here. Oh yeah, I bought some food for
you, so please have some."
"I don''t have the appetite."
Fact of the matter was, Mango''s heart was filled to the brim with conflicting emotions.
Nathaniel naturally knew what Mango was feeling, but he still tried tofort her, "You should still
eat something. No one knows when Minister Xiao might wake up, but what would happen if you
overexert yourself again?"
"I really can''t eat anything."
Mango knew that Nathaniel was doing this for her own good, but she really didn''t have an appetite
at all.
Then, Nathaniel handed her a bowl of porridge and said, "You should at least have some porridge.
If you don''t eat, how will you have the strength to kick Andrea out of the room? again"
Hence, Mango was surprised when Nathaniel said that.
"How did you know about that?"
"Ha, I think the entire hospital knows by now. Oh, poor Andrea just wanted to visit her mother after
she woke up, but you cruelly kicked her out of the ward and now she can''t even move properly.
What''s more, she went around gathering sympathy by telling everybody not to me you because
you were in a bad mood." "Good God, that f*cking piece of sh*t bitch." Honestly, Mango felt like
Andrea''s talents would be wasted if she didn''t be an actress.
On the other hand, Nathaniel didn''t believe Andrea''s act one bit.
However, he muttered, "It''s not going to be good for you if word gets out. Furthermore, Madam
Hans has been blinded by Andrea''s facade, so who knows what sort of misunderstanding she might
haveter on. So, I think it''s better if you eat and rest now in order to have the energy to fend off
those naysayers, right?"
Then, Mango''s resolve crumbled when she saw how determined Nathaniel was in persuading her to
eat.
"You''re the only person in the entire world who loves me and knows what I''m like."
"I''m your husband. Who''s going to love you if I don''t?"
Then, Nathaniel handed the porridge over to Mango.
After that, Mango decided not to be stubborn and forced herself to eat a little despite herck of
appetite.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel was relieved when he saw that Mango had started eating.
He was truly afraid that Mango would copse due to the stress from Queena''s incident.
After Mango finished her food, she wasn''t really sleepy, but she unconsciously dozed off anyway.
In fact, she didn''t know that her miscarriage had caused her to have random bouts of fatigue. On
the other hand, Nathaniel knew all these symptoms and he''d hoped that she would be able to return
to a normal sleep schedule soon.
Now that Mango had fallen asleep, Nathaniel picked her up and carried her inside the room. Then,
he covered her with a nket before walking out again.
Queena was still unconscious, and the future was uncertain.
Although Nathaniel didn''t know what would happen in theing days, he would never allow
anyone to bully Mango!
