Chapter 978


    Lebanon felt awkward when he turned his head and saw Mango looking at him with an amused


    look.


    "Ahem, well, uhm... I came to see you. How are you doing?"


    He couldn''t help but frown when he saw Mango lying on the bed.


    "Did that b*stard, Diago, do this?"


    "Diago?"


    Mango did not recognise the name that wasing out of Lebanon''s lips.


    "Who is Diago?"


    Lebanon was slightly stunned, and he was confused.


    Nathaniel was tight-lipped, and he refused to leak any information. Although Lebanon questioned


    him repeatedly, he only learned that Mango had been injured.


    Nathaniel had even made sure that other parties wouldn''t leak anything. Heck! Lebanon couldn''t


    even bribe the doctors with money as they refused to tell him anything.


    However, Lebanon felt a bit unsure as he looked at


    Mango''s puzzled expression.


    "Didn''t Diago kidnap you?"


    Although Mango had no interest in Lebanon, she knew that there was something that she still didn''t


    know when she heard him saying an unfamiliar name.


    "Tell me. What''s going on?"

    Mango struggled to get up, but she identally touched her wound. She was in so much pain that


    she broke out in cold sweat.


    "Let me help you."


    Lebanon walked up quickly and held Mango gently.


    Mango could smell the cologne that Lebanon wore. However, the smell was sweeter than the


    fragrance that Nathaniel usually used, so she wasn''t used to it.


    "I''ll do it myself."


    As she struggled to get up, the clothes on her shoulder loosened a little, revealing her terrifying


    wound.


    Lebanon''s eyes suddenly narrowed.


    "Hah... they actually used a whip on you?"


    Lebanon wanted to pull down Mango''s cor as he said, but Mango said in a cold tone, "Lebanon,


    stop there, or I''ll chop your hands off. Men and women should refrain from touching each other


    inappropriately, don''t you understand that?"


    After hearing these words, Lebanon''s hand paused in mid-air. He had an awkward expression on


    his face.


    "Sorry, I just wanted to see your injury."


    "Are you a doctor?"


    Mango asked back sarcastically.


    Lebanon suddenly became even more embarrassed.


    "No, I''m not."


    "Are you my husband then?"


    Lebanon was even more speechless hearing Mango''s question.


    "Then why the f*ck do you want to look at it?"


    Mango said this sentence in a rather irritated and frustrated tone.


    Lebanon was stunned.


    To him, Mango was intelligent, noble, and someone who carried an elegant aura. He had never


    thought that Mango would swear, let alone swearing at him!


    Mango did not care what his expression was now or what he was thinking. She used her hand to


    tidy her cor and sat up with a bit of a struggle. Then, she said, "Can you tell me now who Diago


    is? Why did you appear here? Wait...were you involved in my kidnapping too?"


    "No way! How could this be possible?"


    Lebanon became anxious immediately.


    "I would never ever hurt you!"


    Mango was surprised when she heard Lebanon''s firm tone.


    "Then why did youe to see me? I don''t think we''re close."


    Lebanon didn''t know how to answer her question.


    Of course, Mango had no idea about their rtionship, and Nathaniel did not want her to find out


    too. Lebanon wanted to tell Mango at first, but he suddenly changed his mind after this incident.


    Perhaps it would be best for Mango to not know anything and continue living in her current state.


    As this thought shed across Lebanon''s mind rapidly, he said in a low voice, "Can''t I visit you as a


    friend?"


    "I am not your friend."


    Mango''s words were ruthless.


    Lebanon had no reasons to me her, and he could only let out a bitterugh in his heart.


    "Alright... then I was a fool that thought we were close then. Besides, I came here to see how bad


    your wound was."


    "So?"


    Lebanon did not know how to answer Mango''s question.


    Perhaps Mango would not even believe him if he were to say that he wanted to seek justice for her.


    In fact, she would even suspect that he had feelings for her!


    Why was it so difficult for him toe up with an excuse to care for her?


    "Diago is Melissa''s boyfriend, and Melissa is our nanny''s daughter. She used her rtionship with


    me to get into the entertainment industry. However, she did not graduate from the rted courses,


    and she did not have an outstanding appearance, so she is not really famous in the industry. Once,


    she came over to ask me for jobs, but she overheard something that I had said. She had promised


    not to leak it out, and I believed her. However, it was not long after Nathaniel and her met."


    Lebanon didn''t answer Mango''s question, so he talked about Melissa instead.


    This was the first time Mango had heard of this woman''s name, and she felt disgusted as she had


    to hear it from someone else other than Nathaniel.


    However, Nathaniel was trying to hide the truth from her, and this incident was rted to Melissa.


    Hence, Mango felt that she could get some news from Lebanon now that he had said something


    about her.


    "What did you say? Why did Melissa find Nathaniel?"


    Lebanon''s eyes sparkled.


    "I don''t know. Perhaps for some resources."


    Lebanon''s answer was casual, so Mango obviously did not believe me.


    "You better tell me why if you really want to be friends with me. Urgh! Do you know that my husband


    and I almost divorced because of her? She failed to seduce my husband and ended up dyingter. I


    believed that you know all these."


    Mango looked at Lebanon and spoke continuously.


    Lebanon felt particrly stressed after hearing her words.


    Melissa had found out that Mango was Lebanon''s biological sister, so Nathaniel also found out


    about this through her. However, Lebanon could not tell Mango about this.


    He suddenly regretteding to see Mango so abruptly.


    He thought she was weak, but now found he found out that she was actually a fiercedy.


    "Would you believe me if I said that I don''t know what they said?"


    Lebanon looked at Mango and smiled awkwardly.


    "Hah! Do you think I look like a fool?"


    Mango crossed her arms and looked at Lebanon coldly.


    "Ahem! Ahem!"


    Lebanon had been an actor for so long, but this was the first time he had failed in an impromptu act.


    "Let''s talk about the kidnapping that just happened, ok?"


    "Alright."


    Mango agreed to his words quickly. On the contrary, this made Lebanon a bit ufortable.


    "What''s wrong?"


    "No... nothing."


    Lebanon quickly lowered his head to cover up his surprise and helplessness.


    "Diago was the one that nned this kidnap. Melissa died, and he med everything on you, so he


    got someone to kidnap you. He nned to starve you for an entire day before dealing with you. This


    is all that I know."


    Mango understood the situation after listening to what Lebanon had said.


    Diago wanted to get revenge for Melissa by kidnapping her, but he never thought that Gise would


    take over halfway.


    But how did Gise know that Diago had kidnapped her?


    How was she rted to Diago?


    Or had she been following Mango all this while?


    Mango couldn''t help but frown as she thought of this.


    She was afraid that Gise had been targeting her all along.


    Mango did not know what Gise had experienced in prison, but thetter obviously had a hard time


    in there. Otherwise, she would not develop such hatred for Mango, and she had even wanted to


    deal with her quickly!


    Mango was trying to think of the reasons why Gise would do this to her.


    Lebanon did not know if Mango actually believed whatever he said. Her expression was


    unpredictable, and she had an unreadable expression on her face, so he did not know what she


    was thinking.


    "Mango, you..."


    "So, how are you involved in this?"


    "Huh?"


    Lebanon was confused.


    "I... I have nothing to do with them!"


    "Then why did you want to sign a contract with mypany voluntarily? Why did you take care of


    me too? You even came over to visit me now that something happened to me. Heh. Don''t tell me


    that you fell in love with me at first sight as we''ve never even met before this."


    Lebanon wasn''t able to withstand Mango''s sharp gaze.


    He realized that Mango''s current demeanour and aura were too simr to his father''s.


    Lebanon shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I can''t exin it."


    Urgh! He had made a wrong decision bying to visit her today!


    He would nevere in if he knew that Mango''s mind would be so clear even after her injury.


    Mango was stunned.


    She originally thought that Lebanon would make up a good story ore up with a lie. Hence, she


    felt that this issue was getting moreplicated as he couldn''t give her a proper exnation.


    In fact, Mango wanted to read his mind so desperately. However, it was a pity that she did not have


    such special talent.


    "Lebanon, who are you? What do you think of me?"


    "I can only say that I won''t hurt you."


    Lebanon nced at Mango before standing up to leave.


    He took out a card from his pocket and put it on the table.


    "I know you are not short of money, but I have some money in the card. It''s not much, but I came in


    a hurry and didn''t have time to buy things. You can buy whatever you like with it as a gift."


    "I don''t need it!"


    Mango refused directly.


    Lebanon still felt very ufortable even though he had predicted this oue.


    "Please...I''m begging you to ept it, okay?"


    "Give me a reason."


    Lebanon shut up immediately after hearing this.


    He sighed and kept the back card on the table.


    "Take care of yourself. I''m leaving."


    Then he got up and left the ward.


    Nathaniel just came back from the outside as the door of the ward open. There was a trace of anger


    and warning in his gaze as he looked with Lebanon.


    Mango was facing Nathaniel, and she could clearly see his expression.


    Did Nathaniel know Lebanon?


    Mango was surprised at this thought.


    She lowered her eyes quietly, and thoughts started flooding into her head again.


    How did Nathaniel know Lebanon?


    Was there a secretly between Nathaniel, Lebanon and Melissa that she did not know about?


    As Nathaniel passed by Lebanon, he lowered his voice so that only both of them could hear him, "I


    don''t want to see you appearing in front of her again."


    "I only came to see how badly she had been injured."


    "This is my responsibility as a husband. It has nothing to do with you."


    Nathaniel then went straight into the ward and mmed the door.


    The door almost hit Lebanon in the nose, and he took a step back quickly.


    Nathaniel had definitely done that on purpose!
