Chapter 1191


    After Wisdom came downstairs, Rita stuffed him with a delicious food, which immediately warmed


    him.


    "Thank you, Rita."


    Wisdom''s smile was faint but sincere.


    Zion nced at them without saying a word as he understood Rita''s actions clearly.


    His sister was probably afraid that Wisdom could not feel the warmth of their family, so that was why


    she treated Wisdom with such care. However, she didn''t have such concerns about Zion, her


    biological brother. Because of this, she was less caring to Zion.


    As he thought about this, a pang of jealousy hit Zion in the chest.


    Then, he got up and went to pack his stuff.


    Wisdom and Rita had a lot to talk about, and Mango didn''t join in their conversation either. She let


    the two of them pack their luggage while she went to the living room.


    There, Brantley and Nathaniel were talking about something and they both looked happy.


    Seeing this, Mango''s heart sank when she thought about how Magnolia''s whereabouts were still


    unknown and they didn''t know if she was still alive. However, she forced a smile as she walked over


    to them.


    "Grandpa, Nathan and I are bringing the children on a trip. If you need anything or if anything bad


    happens, you can go to my uncle."


    "There are people in the Xiao family too, you know. Don''t worry. I''m just a useless old man. No


    one''s interested in me. You should be careful when you''re out. Lay low and try to protect yourself,


    okay?"


    Brantley looked worried.


    Mango nodded at his words and the news about Magnolia lingered on her lips for a few moments


    before she swallowed it.


    She should wait until there was news about where Magnolia was.


    As she thought about this, Mango''s eyes narrowed slightly.


    Seeing her like this, Nathaniel knew what she was thinking. After exchanging a few more words with


    Brantley, he went over to Mango.


    "Let''s go. We should start packing too."


    "Alright."


    Then, Mango followed Nathaniel and went upstairs.


    Mango poured all her time and effort on Magnolia, and although Magnolia wasn''t that good of a


    person, it was undeniable that what she had said before had made Mango feel sad and sympathetic


    towards her. Now, Mango was upset as she didn''t know if Magnolia was alive or dead.


    Nathaniel whispered as soon as they entered the room, "I need to use the bathroom. You can start


    packing first."


    "Alright."


    Without hesitation, Mango started to pack up her belongings.


    After Nathaniel entered the bathroom, he copsed abruptly onto the floor.


    His head felt as if it was about to blow up.


    What was going on?


    His head ached terribly and if it weren''t for his strong endurance, Mango would have already


    sensed that something was wrong.


    Nathaniel almost groaned aloud because of the pain as he felt as if there was something


    humongous threatening to charge out of his head.


    Cold sweat soaked his back and shirt in an instant as his face turned ghastly pale, which made him


    look absolutely frightening.


    He clenched his teeth together, but he couldn''t stop the throbbing pain, so he quickly lunged forward


    and turned on the shower. The sound of flowing water filled the bathroom and he was able to hide


    his emotions and pain temporarily at that moment.


    Then, he fell to the ground suddenly and curled up into a ball while he hugged his head and resisted


    the pain silently.


    "Nathan, you should take some casual clothes. You won''t need to show up for any functions, right?


    You can leave your suit, okay?"


    Just then, Mango''s soft and tender voice came from outside, but it sounded distant in Nathaniel''s


    mind as if it came from somewhere unreachable.


    "Nathan?"


    Mango had alreadye to the bathroom door and asked again with uncertainty.


    "It''s up to you."


    Nathaniel''s voice was a little weak as something shed across his eyes.


    "Oh, okay."


    After hearing Nathaniel''s voice, Mango walked away from the door.


    Meanwhile, Nathaniel''s hand was sped onto the inner side of his thigh tightly, but the severe pain


    on his thigh was nothingpared to the splitting headache.


    He panted and finally gave up resisting, hoping that the pain would go away quickly. Unfortunately,


    the pain did not subside at all and it swept over him like a flood.


    This time, the pain was so fierce that Nathaniel waspletely unprepared. He had wanted to say


    something, but he didn''t have a chance to.


    Just then, images painted in blood started to sh through his mind, as if he was watching a


    massacre and countless people were being shot and ughtered. The old, the young, men and


    women were crying everywhere, but their cries were no use as they were still ughtered brutally in


    the end.


    Seeing all this, a sudden surge of anger roared in his heart and he was so angry that he wished he


    was there so he could kill every single one of those murderous demons.


    His anger continued to grow and took root in his heart as it became bigger and heavier. It felt as if


    he was being pulled down into hell and was suffering inhumane and unbearable torture over and


    over again.


    "Ah!"


    Finally, Nathaniel couldn''t hold it in any longer and with a low roar, he passed out.


    Outside the bathroom, Mango could hear a faint suppressed growl, but the sound of water had


    muffled the sound and made it unclear.


    "Nathan? Are you alright?"


    Mango came to the door of the bathroom quickly and asked, but no answer came except for the


    sound of water.


    Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her chest.


    Mango tried to open the bathroom door immediately, only to find that the door was locked from


    inside.


    Why did Nathaniel lock the bathroom door in their own house?


    Mango was shocked but she didn''t dare dy. Then, she quickly went downstairs to get the spare


    key from Toby.


    Mango''s stunned the children a little, and it made Brantley a little worried too.


    "Toby, follow upstairs and see what''s going on."


    Toby nodded at this and followed behind Mango quickly.


    Zion and Wisdom were both worried, and as for Rita, she had wanted to go upstairs too but was


    stopped by Zion.


    "Zion, go up and have a look."


    Zion felt very uneasy.


    Wisdom was a medical student and even if he had not mastered it yet, he was still much better than


    Rita and Zion. Zion didn''t know why, but he had a hunch that something had happened to Nathaniel.


    Obviously, Wisdom had thought of this too.


    The two brothers nced briefly at each other before Wisdom went upstairs without hesitation.


    "Zion, I want to go upstairs."


    Rita struggled, but Zion said in a low voice, "There''s nothing you can do up there. Wisdom is a


    medical student. I''m afraid that dad''s illness is back again."


    "Isn''t he taking the medicine? Besides, didn''t Wisdom already read the Hikasa Manual from the


    Longford County? Hasn''t he found a solution yet?"


    These days, Nathaniel''s illness had been stable, so they had all let their guard down and thought


    that he had been cured.


    However, seeing Mango''s panic- stricken expression just now had left Zion and Rita worried sick.


    "Let''s wait and see. We can''t help even if we go upstairs now."


    Zion was worried, but he didn''t dare let go of Rita.


    Rita did not struggle anymore, but her eyes were slightly narrowed and no one knew what she was


    thinking.


    Meanwhile, Mango entered the room with the spare key in hand. She quickly opened the bathroom


    door and saw Nathaniel lying on the floor with a deathly pale and lifeless face.


    "Nathan!"


    Mango''s heart tightened at the sight of him.


    Then, she stepped forward quickly and held Nathaniel in her arms


    Water had soaked Nathaniel''s body and shirtpletely, but he did not seem to notice at all.

    Toby quickly turned off the shower and looking at Nathaniel, he couldn''t help but say worriedly,


    "Should we call Mr. Soo to have a look?"


    Just then, Wisdom''s small body slipped into the bathroom just as Mango was about to say


    something. He grabbed Nathaniel''s wrist and ced his fingers on his dad''s pulse.


    Then, Wisdom''s face suddenly darkened.


    Mango, who had been observing Wisdom the entire time, panicked when she saw his expression.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Wisdom was shocked, but he shook his head and said, "Daddy is fine. He must be suffering from a


    headache. Where''s the medicine I gave him?"


    While speaking, Wisdom searched Nathaniel''s pocket, but he couldn''t find the medicine bottle.


    Mango suddenly remembered that she hadn''t seen Nathaniel take the medicine for a while now.


    She thought that he took them while she was asleep, but now that Wisdom asked her about it, she


    realized that it wasn''t the case.


    Suddenly, a pang of remorse and anger rose in her heart.


    Why didn''t she take Nathaniel''s illness seriously?


    She had thought that Nathaniel would be persistent in taking the medicine for the sake of himself


    and the children, but who would have thought that it would turn out to be like this?


    However, these emotions were quickly suppressed. After all, it was not the time to think about this.


    What they had to do now was to find out why didn''t Nathaniel take his medicine and where the


    medicine was.


    "I haven''t seen him take them recently, and I didn''t ask him about it either. I thought he was still


    taking them. Do you have any spare?"


    Mango looked at Wisdom with hopeful eyes.


    Wisdom nodded, turned around, and said to Toby, "Uncle Toby, please move my dad to the bed first


    and change him into clean clothes. If you can, adjust the temperature of the air conditioner to a


    higher level."


    Mango frowned at this.


    "There''s heating in the room. The temperature is already 23 degrees now. Isn''t that hot enough?"


    Wisdom''s eyes shed briefly as he said in a low voice, "Turn it up to 30 degrees. Dad''s body is


    very cold now."


    These words made Mango realize that Nathaniel''s body was indeed ice-cold.


    Even though he was soaked, he was still shockingly cold.


    Mango had a feeling that Wisdom was hiding something from her, but since Wisdom didn''t intend to


    say anything, she didn''t rush to ask. Instead, she asked Toby to follow Wisdom''s instructions.


    Soon, Toby put Nathaniel on the bed and adjusted the temperature in the room to 30 degrees


    ording to Wisdom''s request.


    It was so hot in the room that it was unbearable, but Nathaniel''s expression had loosened up a little.


    "I''ll go back to my room and get the medicine."


    After that, Wisdom turned and left.


    Toby didn''t know what to ask at first, but when he saw Mango''s eyes, he couldn''t help but ask, "Ms.


    Sun, are you..."


    "It''s okay, Toby, thank you."


    Mango smiled faintly, but there was deep worry in her eyes.


    Then, she called Ned and told him that she had to postpone the trip and she would inform him when


    she was ready. As for what had happened, Mango did not mention anything.


    After hanging up, Mango came to sit beside Nathaniel.


    His hands were still very cold, which shocked her. The temperature was very high in the room, but


    his whole body was emitting cold air like a piece of ice, and it was making her panic and worry.
