Chapter 449


    Meanwhile, Thomas noticed that Mango was drumming her fingers on the table as thoughts raced


    furiously through her head. He noted that this action mirrored Nathaniel''s closely, and he started to


    be worried.


    "Don''t overthink, Mrs. Ye. Mr. Ye could just be busy, and I''m sure he''ll call you once he''s done."


    "Yup!"


    Mango''s tone was indifferent when she replied, but her listlessness was clear for all to see.


    As Thomas was about to say something else, Rainie stopped him and she gestured for him to leave


    the room.


    After both women were left alone, Rainie asked Mango, "What''s on your mind, Mango? Although


    Nathaniel''s not my favorite person, I can see that he''s been nothing but good to you and I believe


    that he''s not a cheater. Plus, I don''t believe he''ll be tempted by some random college student.


    Honestly, he might just be entangled in some business, so quit overthinking."


    Worry flooded her heart when she saw Mango acting like this.


    Mango was in an extremely frail state, and Genevieve had advised her not to overthink things. Now


    that the issue with Nathaniel was causing Mango''s thoughts to stray, Rainie was worried that it


    would affect her recovery.


    "I''m fine, I believe that Nathaniel''s not that kind of person either. Over thest five years, he could


    have any woman he wanted. Furthermore, he wouldn''t even need to look for a woman in his


    position as they''ll be lining up around the block for a chance. There was zero news of a scandal


    from him over thest five years, so I don''t believe he''d abandon his family for some college student


    five yearster."


    Rainie finally heaved a sigh of relief once she heard Mango speak.


    "It''s best if you think that way, so I''m sure he''s gone overseas to handle some business. Please


    don''t overthink."


    "I don''t think he went abroad. Even if he did, it wasn''t because ofpany affairs. So, Nathaniel''s


    hiding something from me!"


    Certainty was evident in Mango''s tone as she spoke.


    She wasn''t an idiot and Nathaniel''s behavior right now was simply too unusual. Plus, if even Nick


    failed to contact him, then it meant that Nathaniel was deliberately avoiding everyone.


    But why was he doing that?


    There was no solid reason for him to do this!


    No matter how much she thought about it, Mango couldn''t figure it out.


    At that moment, Genevieve returned to the house.


    "What''s wrong? What''s with the sudden silence?"


    Genevieve realised that something wasn''t quite right as soon as she stepped into the house.


    Then, Rainie sucked in a breath to speak but Mango managed to do it first.


    "It''s fine, Rainie''s being a horrible best friend. She''s angry with me just because I yelled at Thomas


    earlier."


    Hence, Rainie''s brow twitched in annoyance when she heard that.


    Did Mango just use her as an excuse again?


    She was nothing but innocent!


    Next, Rainie cast an aggrieved look towards Mango, but unfortunately her friend ignored her.


    Meanwhile, Genevieve chuckled amusedly before saying, "Really? Rainie and Thomas are in love,


    so of course, she''ll be mad if you yell at him in front of her. Ah, why didn''t you turn off your IV drip


    after it''s been depleted?"


    She suddenly realized that Mango''s drip had run dry long ago.


    On the other hand, Rainie was so frightened by the revtion that she paled.


    "Oh God, I was too caught up in conversation earlier and I wasn''t watching the drip. I''m so sorry, are


    you okay?"


    Remorse was clear on Rainie''s face as she spoke.


    However, Mango proceeded to casually remove the needle from her arm and that caused blood to


    ooze out from the back of her hand.


    "Are you crazy? What are you doing?"


    Then, Rainie hurriedly dabbed at the area with a cotton swab.


    Nevertheless, Mango continued in an indifferent voice and she replied, "I''m fine, I feel a lot better."


    On the other hand, Genevieve couldn''t help but frown when she saw this.


    "You can''t do this, Mango. Your body is frail and you''ve lost a lot of blood. You need to have another


    drip to stop the bleeding and the inmmation. Even if you''re angry with Rainie, you can''t just


    gamble with your health."


    "Yeah, what the hell are you doing?"


    Hence, Rainie was absolutely livid but tears rimmed her eyes as she spoke.


    Mango sighed in resignation before replying, "But I really do feel better."


    "Who''s the doctor here? You or me? Listen to me, lie down and let me administer the drip. This is


    not up for discussion."


    Thus, Genevieve had no choice but to be harsh right now.


    Out of options, Mango finally decided to lie down on the bed.


    Next, Genevieve repeated the process of inserting a sterilized needle into her hand and


    administering the drip.


    Then, Mango gazed at her and she asked, "Genevieve, you must be very busy as the director of the


    military hospital, right?"


    "It''s not too bad. Noah thinks I work too hard, so most of my work and surgeries have been taken


    over by him. As a result, I''m quite free. To tell you the truth, I''m only a director in name as Noah''s


    been running the hospital for thest two years. Why?"


    Genevieve replied with a faint smile on her face.

    Then, Mango chuckled, "Noah really does love you."


    "What man doesn''t love his wife? Doesn''t Mr. Ye love you as well? I heard from Noah that Mr. Ye is


    willing to do anything for you."


    "Did you know that Noah and Nathaniel have gone to the Celestial Clubhouse recently?"


    Then, Mango''s words caused an expression of surprised to form on Genevieve''s face.


    "I don''t know, but I know of their frequent meetings at the Celestial Clubhouse. Why? Has Noah


    gone again? I''m going to talk to him about thister as he hasn''t been feeling too well, so he


    shouldn''t be drinking. Gosh, he must''ve been secretly drinking at the club. This man is getting on


    my nerves."


    Genevieve''s words were very honest.


    Hence, Mango couldn''t see anything in her face that gave anything away.


    Either Genevieve was very good at acting, or she really had no idea about what was going on.


    Thus, Mango did not ask any further and she smiled before saying, "I''m tired, I''m gonna go and rest


    for a while." "Go to sleep. I''m here, so call me if you need anything."


    Genevieve did not say anything out of the ordinary as well.


    Rainie nced between the two of them and she found it hard to mesh into their conversation.


    It was clear that Mango suspected that Noah knew something, and if it was her, then Rainie would


    just ask Genevieve right away. However, both Mango and Genevieve were ying the avoidance


    game and this exasperated Rainie.


    "I''ll go and check on Thomas. He''s been yelled at so badly by Mango, I need to go andfort him


    somehow."


    Rainie came up with an excuse to leave.


    When she met with Thomas, he asked a bit worriedly, "What''s going on today?"


    "What''s going on with Nathaniel? I feel like it''s absolutely strange for him not to call Mango, and he


    called me instead. Plus, I even told him that Mango''s ill but he didn''t even make the effort toe


    home. Tell me the truth, Thomas, do you really not know where Nathaniel has gone?"


    "I really don''t know!"


    Thomas nearly raised his hand in a swearing motion.


    "It''s very mysterious that Mr. Ye has gone abroad, and I know that he left after the meeting with Dr.


    Soo at the hospital. Before he left the country, he asked me to take care of everything here and


    nothing else. I even offered to take his ce, but Mr. Ye said he needed to do this on his own."


    When he thought back to the conversation between Nathaniel and himself, he said, "Oh right, I think


    I heard Dr. Soo''s voice as well at the time. So, Mr. Ye must be together with him."


    "In other words, Noah has to know where Nathaniel''s gone, right?"


    Rainie managed to catch the main point of what he said.


    Then, Thomas looked at her and he asked uneasily, "What are you nning to do?"


    "Mango is in really poor health now, and although Dr. Bay didn''t say anything, I can see that she''s


    worried. I don''t know what''s wrong with Mango, but it breaks my heart to see her so weak. No


    matter where Nathaniel is, I''m going to bring him home to Mango''s side."


    Rainie''s words made Thomas hesitate for a moment.


    "Even if you seek out Dr. Soo, he won''t tell you where Nathaniel is." "What should we do then?''


    "Let me handle this."


    Thomas couldn''t help but sigh when he saw how concerned Rainie was.


    "Can you find out where Nathaniel''s gone from Noah?"


    "Not necessarily, but I''m sure I can find a clue. All you need to do is stay here with Mango. If


    possible, please check on her regrly. I''m sure Mr. Ye wille back as soon as he can out of


    concern for her health."


    Rainie nodded after hearing that.


    "All right, be careful. Please tell me if there''s any news, I know you and Nathaniel share a good


    rtionship, but I can''t watch my best friend be hurt. If he''s done anything to hurt her, I won''t forgive


    him."


    "I got it. Mr. Ye won''t do it, don''t worry."


    Thomas loved the way Rainie was willing to go out of her way to help her friends, and a touch of


    tenderness in his eyes as he looked at her. When Rainie saw that, she immediately schooled her


    features and she cleared her throat before saying, "I''ll head on inside."


    "Okay, I''ll bring your favourite walnut cake when I get back."


    Thomas''s words made Rainie blush.


    "Who told you about that? Hurry up and get it done."


    As she spoke, Rainie hurriedly turned and she scurried off towards Mango''s room with an


    involuntary smile on her face.


    Meanwhile, Thomas chuckled at the sight and he left as well.


    By the time Mango had woken up, Genevieve had removed the drip. Thankfully, she felt much


    better and her period flow seemed to have lessened.


    "Thank you, Genevieve."


    "It''s fine. Okay, here are some antiinmmatory drugs, make sure to take them three times a day. I''ll


    be by tomorrow to check on you, so please rest well and stop moving around so much, got it?"


    Genevieve gave Mango detailed instructions which she agreed to follow.


    After that, Rainie asked softly as she saw Genevieve to the door. "Dr. Bay, is there something wrong


    with Mango''s body? Is it really just the after effects of the miscarriage?"


    "Yes, her body is way too frail, and on top of that, she''d gotten a bacterial infection which led to a


    large loss of blood. Don''t worry, she''ll be fine after some treatment."


    Genevieve''s words made Rainie feel relieved. "That''s great, thank you for your hard work." "No


    worries, make sure she takes her medication."


    "Will do!"


    After that, Rainie saw Genevieve off. All the while, Mrs. Shen had tried to persuade Genevieve to


    stay for dinner, but unfortunately the doctor refused all her attempts.


    Just as Rainie sent Genevieve off and she was nning to return to the room, Thomas rushed over


    suddenly.


    "Something horrible has happened to the Ye family!"
