Chapter 1238
"What are you afraid of the most?"
Mango had known the answer.
She knew that Nathaniel was most afraid of hurting her when he was out of control. Yet she also
knew that he would not hurt her, but to himself instead.
It was the circumstance that Mango was most worried about.
Upon hearing Mango asking such a childish question, he staggered for a moment.
With merely a second, Mango appeared right in front of him.
"Nathan, don''t be afraid. I''m here, you''ll be fine soon."
Mango had thrown out her arms and hugged Nathaniel without any hesitations.
Nathaniel''s body was slightly stoned by touching her supple body before pushing Mango away, but
Mango quickly grabbed his wrist and said gently, "It''s okay, you''ll be fine, I''m here. As long as I''m
here, I won''t allow anyone to hurt you, not even the venoms, I''ll think of a way to get rid of it for you.
Nathan, you can feel me, right? I know you can do
it."
Mango''s tone was soft, like an invisible hand gently caressing Nathaniel''s chaotic mind.
Meanwhile, the golden color in his eyes slowly faded away. He held Mango into his arms, and
hugged her tightly.
Nathaniel''s chest was still aching, but he could feel that he was not suffering alone. His pain
seemed to be much alleviated borne by Mango.
He said in a hoarse voice, "Mango, it hurts."
Nathaniel was like a child at that moment, helpless and feeling wronged, which made Mango heart
broken.
"It won''t hurt for long, Nathan, I''m here for you."
She was murmuring, and soon she felt his head on her shoulders getting heavier and heavier,
followed by the sounds of his gentle breathing.
Mango noticed that Nathaniel had fallen asleep.
His brows frowned tightly, perhaps the pain had yet to be eliminated, he wasn''t sleeping very
peacefully.
Mango asked one of the subordinates to carry Nathaniel to her bedroom with her and lie them down
on the bed.
Looking at Nathaniel''s pale face, Mango was feeling indeed uneasy.
They had initially thought that the Golden Lancehead Venom would not be a big deal and they
would gradually find a way to get rid of it. However, it seemed that it had be atent crisis.
When Mango pulled the nket cover over Nathaniel, only then did she discover the gauze
wrapped around Nathaniel''s wrist.
At that time, blood had dyed the gauze red.
Mango''s heart wrenched and she unwrapped the gauze, she seemed to have realized something
upon discovering that the wound was actually a knife cut.
She stared at Nathaniel for quite a long time before she took out the first aid kit to bandage over
Nathaniel''s wrist again. After that, she covered the quilt over him and walked out of the room.
Mango took out her cell phone and gave a call to Noah.
"Do you know how to get rid of the Golden Lancehead Venom? Tell me everything you know."
Noah said somewhat gloomily, "Mango, it''s not that I''m not telling you, even I have no idea figure it
out. I''m majored in Western medicine, and even if I know briefly about traditional Chinese medicine,
it has nothing to do with the venom. It''s the special ability of the Miao region, whereby outsiders are
not allowed to learn their skills. I''ve read the Hikasa Manual of Longford County duringst time, but
I could only learn briefly of it. Moreover, the Golden Lancehead Venom is the ancestor among all
the vermin and it can be considered the highest level. I can''t even deal with the ordinary vermin, let
alone its long lost ancestor. You should ask Wisdom instead, he may know a little more than I do."
Even though Mango had mentally prepared herself, she still felt extremely uneasy and disappointed
upon hearing Noah''s reply.
"I see. Thank you."
Mango was about to hang up the call after she finished her words, only then did she hear that Noah
asked her, "Did something happen to Nathaniel?"
"He''s fine besides hurting badly all of a sudden. Plus, he is somewhat short-tempered and easily
irritated, nothing else."
Mango did not tell Noah that Nathaniel''s eyes had changed their color. Although he had recovered,
she was still nervous.
Nathaniel acted as if he had been possessed by something and he was no longer his original self.
Noah said in a low voice, "I''ll seek advice from some medical experts but I can''t guarantee that
someone may know about it. Further information regarding it can only be obtained from Longford
County, or you can ask from someone who knows vermin."
Mango nodded after hearing his remarks.
After hanging up, Mango felt somewhat depressed.
In recent times, a series of incidents happened and there were many people injured in session.
Firstly Newell, then Michael, followed by Zion who got injured and even Nathaniel just suffered
painfully.
All the people around them were seemingly to be sustaining something, causing Mango to suspect
that it was never an ident.
While Bernard was the mutual person behind all those incidents.
Mango realized that regardless if both Nathaniel and her went to Longford County, there would
always be the existence of Bernard.
That man was simply like the enemy hiding in the dark dedicated to target them.
They could temporarily be safe only when they had get rid of that man. Furthermore, Nathaniel had
no qualms to eliminate the Golden Lancehead
Venom.
Therefore, Bernard had to die!
In other words, it should be said that Bernard had to be brought to justice.
What could she do as Bernard was staying in Ango at the moment?
She couldn''t go to Ango to get Bernard back to their own country.
Even if she could enter Ango, she might not be able to bring Bernard out of there.
After all, she had no idea who the king of Ango was and the reason why he had defended
Bernard.
There were too many unsolved mysteries in which heading to Ango was a death wish for them.
However, their movement would be constrained if they didn''t look for him.
She wondered when would Morganplete his mission. Even Brantley was put under house
arrest due to the incident of Longford County. Although nothing happened to the Hans family, Mateo
was sent abroad to carry out a mission and she had never heard of him since then.
At a second thought, all the influences around Mango and Nathaniel were under others'' control, it
was an apparent checkmate.
A checkmate that specifically targeted both her and Nathaniel.
Taking any action or if anything happened to them would affect the people around them.
Walter was an example.
When Mango recalled, only then did she realize that the incident of Walter being lead-poisoned was
not probably to target him, instead it was to let Mango and Nathaniel put aside their situation for
him.
Mango wasn''t dumb. In fact, after clearing all her thoughts and sorting out the incidents all over
again, she had already figured out the intentions of the other party.
They were trying to force both Mango and Nathaniel to surrender themselves.
If all these people had something to do with Bernard, then it was clear that Bernard had powerful
connections.
The only way for both Nathaniel and her was to take down Bernard at the moment.
Mango''s brows furrowed when she thought about it.
After all, it was never an easy task to take down Bernard.
The wind blew in from the floor-to-ceiling window which awakened Mango''s mind.
Meanwhile, Newell was sent back.
Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
Nathaniel was still slumbering while Mango went out to meet him.
Even though she was mentally prepared, Mango was still somewhat taken aback upon seeing
Newell.
Newell''s face was ghastly pale with his neck wrapped in thick gauze. Even though he was
unconscious, his brows were tightly furrowed as if he couldn''t believe that Sise would do that to
him.
Mango let out a sigh and said, "Arrange an intensive care nurse to take care of him, ensure that
he''ll be fine."
"Yes."
After replying to her words, the subordinate immediately took Newell away.
Mango went to take a nce at Zion again. It could be seen that Zion was still unconscious, but his
vitals had returned to a stable state.
When she finally came out, she unwittingly came to Aria''s room.
Aria was indeed surprised upon Mango''s arrival.
"You''re here?"
Yeah."
Mango nodded before she sat down in Aria''s room.
Little did she know what to utter to Aria, perhaps she found that the house could calm her down
slightly.
Aria had initially thought that Mango would say something to her, but Mango just sat there after she
entered her room. She neither spoke not asked anything, seemingly thinking about something, or
maybe nothing.
She was unapanied and had no rtives over there. After the incident with Michael, she was
even more isted and helpless, she was on tenterhooks each and every day, wondering when
would Michael''s men kill her.
Seeing that Mango spoke nothing, Aria was somewhat uneasy.
"Did something happened?"
She inquired in a meticulous tone.
Only then did Mango came back to her senses, she shook her head and said, "Nothing, juste
over and have a seat here. Oh, by the way, I''m here to inform you that we''ve found the person who
killed Zeck, it''s wasn''t you."
Upon hearing that, Aria suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you. If it wasn''t for you, I might really been
taken for the murder."
Aria knew that she had an ulterior motiveing here. It was normal for them to hate her but she
would never admit the deeds that she hadn''t did. She really did notmit the murder of that man.
Mango looked at Aria and felt that the woman still had a bottom line, she indeed had good
intentions for others besides Michael.
Perhaps she would feel guilty towards Michael as well.
"Do you know Valentina?"
Mango''s words stunned Aria for a moment before she shook her head.
"Maverick has asked me toe over because of my appearance. He did mention that he was
certain that Michael wouldn''t kill me due to my appearance as well. I get to know Valentina''s name
from Michael''s mouth, but I''m really not her."
Aria''s words made Mango paused for a moment.
Looking at Aria, she asked all of a sudden, "How old are you now?"
"Eighteen."
Aria instantly gave a wry smile.
It was not long before she had turned 18 and thought that she was a grown up. She had always
thought that she could marry Maverick as her grown-up gift, but little did she expect that it was
merely a satirical joke.
However, Mango frowned at the moment after listening to her reply.
If Valentina was still alive, she should have probably turned 28 while Aria was only 18 years old at
that time. Could they be biological sisters if both of them had some sort of rtionship?
After all, Valentina wasn''t even turning 20 yet when she was sacrificed. At that time, Valentina''s
parents still had the reproductive capacity.
After Valentina''s sacrifice, it was possible for them to conceive another baby. However, how could
they lose the baby when they finally had another kid?
Mango couldn''t understand but she felt that she should investigate in this direction.
She quickly went out of Aria''s room and told her subordinates, "Send someone to check whether
Valentina''s parents have given birth to another child after her death. I need to know the results as
soon as possible."
