Chapter 373


    This time, Mango''s sleep was peaceful as Nathaniel''s scent enveloped her. It made her feel like he


    was always with her, and she felt safe in his arms.


    When she opened her eyes, she was embarrassed to find Queena looking at them.


    "Mom, why didn''t you tell me that you were awake?"


    Then, Mango quickly climbed out of Nathaniel''s embrace.


    After that, Nathaniel shook his sore arms and replied, "You slept like a log, so she didn''t want to


    wake you. Don''t worry, Nanny Huang sent over some food. Mom''s already eaten, and she left some


    for you, so hurry up and eat."


    Hence, Mango felt even more embarrassed when she heard Nathaniel''s words.


    "Why didn''t you wake me up?"


    "What are you so afraid of? We''re all family here, so it''s just harmless fun. Furthermore, you''ve run


    yourself ragged over thest few days and it''s better for you to rest. Plus, I''m here, aren''t I?"


    Mango wasforted by what he said.


    Meanwhile, Queena couldn''t help but feel d when she heard both Mango and Nathaniel refer to


    her as ''mom''.


    "Both of you go and eat, I''m not that fragile."


    "Well, at least let me turn on the TV for you."


    Then, Mango quickly turned on the television and pulled Nathaniel further inside the room.


    He smiled when he saw her blushing face and said, "Why are you bing so easily embarrassed


    lately?"


    "That''s none of your business."


    Mango red at him in annoyance before she opened the lunch box. However, she couldn''t help


    but freeze for a moment when she saw the mostly untouched food, many of which were her


    favourites.


    "Mom, didn''t you say that you''ve already eaten? Why do all these dishes look barely touched?"


    "She ate earlier, but the doctor said that she couldn''t have anything greasy. These are what my


    mother had Nanny Huang make specially for you."


    Upon hearing Nathaniel''s words, Mango''s heart was instantly filled with warmth.


    "How could you let mom worry about me?"


    "She''s concerned about you, you know. She told me that you''ll only have the strength to look after a


    patient if you''re eaten enough and rested well. Don''t be shy, just do as my mother says and eat your


    food."


    Nathaniel didn''t want to see Mango''s teary expression, so he immediately cut in.


    "Well, you should eat as well."


    After that, Mango handed a pair chopsticks to Nathaniel.


    However, Nathaniel did not eat much and he ate very slowly. Basically, he was watching Mango eat


    the whole time.


    After Mango finished eating, she felt very full indeed.


    "Ultimately, Nanny Huang''s cooking is the best."


    "Hey, that''s mean. What about my cooking?"


    Hence, Nathaniel felt rather jealous.


    Mango smiled and said, "Who even praises themselves?"


    "I can''t help it. I should pat myself on the back because you refuse to praise me. I would definitely


    be sad if I didn''t do that."


    "Ugh, you''re such a child."


    When Mango rose to wash the dishes, Nathaniel moved to stop her.


    "Let me do it. The water here isn''t hot, and you shouldn''t be in contact with cold water."


    After that, Nathaniel quickly put away the cutlery.


    Mango was rather moved by his actions.


    "I''vepleted my confinement period, haven''t I? Furthermore, since when do men spend all day in


    the kitchen? The cutlery is all greasy, so it''s better if I do it."


    "Don''t fight me on this. Furthermore, so what if men do that? I''m willing to cook and clean for the


    person I love. Plus, you''d better not get your hands dirty on the greasy cutleries. My wife''s hands


    should stay nice and dainty."


    As he spoke, Nathaniel didn''t even give Mango a chance and he immediately carried the dirty


    dishes away.


    Then, Mango gave a faint smile as she nced at her hands, which had be plumper recently.


    What could she do with such chubby hands?


    Then, she shook her head and walked out of the room.


    There was a smile on Queena''s face as Mango walked out and she said, "Nathaniel is very good to


    you."


    "Yes, he''s truly a blessing in my life."


    Mango did not make any attempt to hide her affection for Nathaniel.


    Queena replied with augh, "You can''t just keep pushing him around okay? Both of you must treat


    each other well."


    "Got it. How are you feeling now?"


    "Much better, really."

    With Mango''spany, Queena''s spirits had improved immensely.


    Then, Mango whispered, "I need to go home tonight with Nathaniel, so do you think you can handle


    yourself over here? If not, I''ll hire a nurse to look after you and I''ll be back in the morning."


    Queena was surprised, but she recalled that Mango still had her kids to look after. Thus, she


    nodded and said, "I''m fine, just a little tired. Hiring a nurse would be a good idea. Make sure that


    you and Nathan rest well, and there''s no hurry for you toe back. I''m truly fine."


    "Thank you, mom."


    "Silly girl, what''s there to be thankful for?"


    Hence, Queena felt that Mango was much more sensible than Andrea.


    After they chatted for a while, Nathaniel returned.


    His hands were wet, so Mango hurriedly handed a towel to him.


    "You know what? Forget it, it''s better if I dry them for you."


    Then, she stood up and gingerly wiped the water off of Nathaniel''s hands, which made him smile


    softly.


    Queena was relieved when she saw how loving they were.


    "Hey, didn''t you say that you two were going home? Stop unting your love in front of me okay?


    You''re literally torturing me here, and I''m painfully single."


    Mango blushed a healthy red when she heard Queena say that.


    "Mom, what are you talking about? If you feel lonely, I could always sign you up on a dating site.


    You''ll have plenty of suitors to choose from bt then."


    "How dare you!"


    Queena''s face immediately flushed red.


    Her daughter truly spoke without a filter.


    On the other hand, Mangoughed gleefully.


    For a fleeting moment, the ward was full ofughter.


    Meanwhile, Andrea stood in the corridor with balled fists as she listened to themugh.


    She was Queena''s daughter as well, but why did her mother always neglect her?


    All she wanted was just a little bit of Queena''s love, was that too much to ask?


    The expression on Andrea''s face was unpleasant, and theughter was unbearably grating on her


    ears.


    Then, she turned around and ran away, but she ran into Terrance on the way.


    "Where are you going?"


    Terrance treated Andrea like a prisoner, which made her very ufortable. However, she was too


    afraid to resist, because he could kill her at a moment''s notice.


    "I went for a walk."


    Andrea kept her voice low and she tried her best to perpetuate the image of fragility.


    However, Terrance didn''t have a great impression of her, so he did not soften his tone at all.


    "Don''t go running around. You''ll hurt my mother if you run into any other trouble, so if you really care


    about her, you should stop this nonsense. The earlier you recover, the earlier you can be


    discharged."


    "Okay."


    Andrea was furious, but no one could see it as she kept her head down.


    However, Terrance grew increasingly disgusted with how Andrea was acting and he quickly asked


    someone to bring a wheelchair.


    "Keep an eye on Miss Yu. If I see her running around again, I will break your legs."


    Terrance''s words were harsh, and no one knew if they were meant for the bodyguards or Andrea.


    Then, Andrea immediately closed the door and sat on the bed sulkily.


    Terrance had hired bodyguards in the name of protecting her, but she knew that the real reason was


    that he wanted to monitor and control her.


    How could a frail woman like her get rid of her bodyguards?


    Andrea''s brow furrowed as someone popped into her head.


    Then, she hurriedly ced a phone call to Dn.


    "Dn, are you still in Ocean City?"


    Andrea had nearly forgotten about Dn after she''d arrived in Ocean City for so long. On the other


    hand, Dn was quite puzzled to receive her call.


    "Andrea?"


    "Who else could it be? Don''t tell me that you''ve forgotten me after a month of no contact? Don''t you


    love me anymore? Didn''t you say that you wouldn''t let anyone hurt me? Well, what are you going to


    do about it now that I''ve been hurt?"


    Then, Andrea finally burst into tears.


    Dn''s anger red after he heard that someone had hurt Andrea.


    "Who hurt you? I''ll kill them."


    "Who else but the Hans Family?"


    Andrea sobbed loudly as she continued, "Madam Hans wants to formally recognise me as her


    granddaughter because I took good care for her, but her son disagrees with it. Since I wasn''t feeling


    well, I came to the hospital for a checkup and he had bodyguards lock me up here. Come and save


    me, Dn! How could I ever win against two bodyguards? What''s more, I overheard that they''re


    nning to do something to me tonight. God, I''m so scared!"


    Dn immediately became agitated as soon as he heard Andrea''s words.


    "What are they nning to do?"


    "What else? I''m not the real daughter of the Hans Family, it''s just that Madam Hans likes me.


    Terrance holds all the power in the end. Right now, they''ve sent Madam Hans home and they even


    forbade me from interacting with her. Do you think that she''ll hate me if I lost my innocence? How


    will I ever face her again?"


    The more Andrea spoke, the sadder she became and she sobbed into the phone.


    Dn panicked the moment he heard Andrea crying.


    "Don''t cry! You still have me, okay? Don''t worry, I''ll break you out of the hospital. Which one are you


    in?"


    Andrea kept crying as she heard that, but the corners of her mouth curled slightly upwards.


    "I''m in Room 208 of Central Hospital."


    "I see. Wait for me, I''ll be there in 15 minutes."


    Dn hung up the phone after he finished speaking.


    After that, Andrea sneered at the phone as she wiped away her tears.


    This was one thing that men were useful for. As soon as she cried, men would drop everything just


    to fulfill her wishes.


    She relished in the feeling, but she thought of Nathaniel at the same time.


    He was one of the few good men left on the.


    Unfortunately, he belonged to Mango Shen.


    Who did Mango think she was?


    What was so good about Mango?


    They were both women, and she didn''t believe that Mango was better than her in any way. She


    would have a chance as long as she got rid of Queena and caused a rift between Mango and


    Nathaniel, right?


    Andrea kept the thought in her mind as she waited for Dn''s arrival.


    Since he was on his way, the bodyguards at the door were irrelevant to Andrea.


    So, Terrance wanted to lock her up?


    Fat chance!


    Andrea barked out a coldugh before shey on the bed and pretended to be weakened. After


    about ten minutes, she clutched at her stomach and shouted.


    "Ouch! My stomach hurts so much! Please help me!"
