Chapter 1406


    Upon hearing that Nathaniel''s surgery was sessful, Mango''s heart was finally put at ease.


    "Take good care of him. I have to rest."


    She really couldn''t hold on any longer.


    They still had a long way to go, and the journey back to Ocean City would not be peaceful, so she


    could not copse now.


    After Mango said that, she turned around and left. She came to an empty ward, lied down, and fell


    asleep almost immediately.


    To be exact, she passed out.


    Bettany was a little surprised by this, but she quickly performed a check-up on Mango.


    Mango''s wound was already infected, so it had be red and swollen. Bloodstains had long


    soaked the gauze, but Mango had endured it silently.


    At this moment, Bettany was finally convinced and deemed Mango worthy to be her master''s


    partner.


    Then, Bettany sterilized and bandaged Mango''s wounds once again. During this period of time,


    Mango had never woken up.


    Thomas, who was looking after Nathaniel, asked quickly when he saw Bettanye out of the


    ward, "How is Mrs. Ye?"


    "She''s fine. She just needs to rest. She''s been too anxious."


    Bettany s words made Thomas sigh.


    "How can she not be? After all, we are running for our lives, and Laborn is not easy to take down.


    He will catch up soon, and As will not let go of this chance to kill us."


    If Laborn and As were to fight amongst themselves because of Bernard''s death, then at this


    moment, they would deal with the enemy from the outside first. Both Laborn and As were more


    than eager to see Mango and Nathaniel die.


    Bettany remained silent.


    "Where are your people? Why are they still hiding at a time like this?"


    Thomas remembered that Bettany was powerful herself too. Didn''t the well-trained people belong to


    Bettany?


    Bettany shook her head and said, "They''re not mine. To be exact, they''re Laborn''s. They''re gic


    warriors."


    When Thomas heard this, his face suddenly changed.


    "You''re working for Laborn?"


    "You know very well that Magnolia had founded a force of her own. Did you think that we were in a


    good position in Ango all this time? Madam Xiao had managed to control a doctor who


    specializes in gics, which was why she was able to train such a group of gic soldiers. This


    was all to ensure the safety of the Second Prince and to escape from Laborn''s control. But none of


    us had expected that all of this had been nned by Laborn. The doctor was actually on Laborn''s


    side, and he had made use of Madam Xiao''s selfdefense to aplish what he had always wanted


    to do. This group of gic soldiers is close to perfection. However, due to the fact that gics


    are mysterious and unstable, they actually only obey Laborn. The reason why I was able to deploy


    them was that Laborn felt that I was useful. He wanted to use me to lead the soldiers to Madam


    Xiao and force us to go against each other, all because he wanted her to be left on her own. Even in


    Longford County back then, I was able to borrow the soldiers because I needed to help As. All


    this time, I was alone. I had nomand over them."


    Bettany was sad when she talked about this.


    She had been fighting alongside Magnolia for so long, and she thought she was powerful on her


    own too. However, she did not expect that she had been used by Laborn all these years, and this


    made her feel terrible.


    On the other hand, Thomas didn''t look well either.


    "You should have told us earlier."


    "I would if I had had the time."


    Bettany lowered her head and felt a little guilty.


    When Thomas heard this, he said coldly, "When you had the time? Don''t you even have the time to


    send a text? Bettany, don''t look for excuses for yourself. If I''m right, you had wanted to keep them


    all to yourself, right? It''s just that you failed."


    This time, Bettany didn''t say anything. However, she only remained silent for a few seconds. Then,


    she raised her head and said, "Yes, I am a doctor too. I know how valuable these gic soldiers


    are in the medical field. I don''t have much research in gic science, but I had always wanted to


    collect some data from them. There will always be someone who studies this field, right? Since that


    is the case, and because I couldn''t help with anything else, at the very least, I had to obtain the


    gic data. If our people can develop a method to resist gic soldiers with the data, it might be


    an opportunity to redeem ourselves."


    Thomas was slightly stunned when he heard this as he didn''t think of this.


    All of Bettany''s actions were actually forced, and she had also wanted to protect herself. However,


    only Nathaniel and Mango could decide how Bettany should be dealt with.


    "And did you get the data?"


    "I did, but not all of it. If it weren''t for what happened to the master and his wife, I might be able to


    continue my investigation."


    "Tell Madam about thister."


    Nathaniel was currently unconscious, so everything was up to Mango now. Even so, Thomas


    trusted Mango very much.


    "Alright."


    After this incident, Bettany saw Mango differently too.

    Soon, Mango had slept for more than five hours when she was woken up by Thomas.


    "Madam, we are leaving."


    Mango was still drowsy when she heard Thomas''s words, so she couldn''t help but be stunned.


    "Leave? Is something wrong with Nathan?"


    She sat up too fast and almost fell to the ground as her eyes went dark all of a sudden.


    Thomas knew that she had lost too much blood and could not recover in such a short time. He


    quickly held her up and said, "Mr. Ye is fine. It''s just that he has a fever, but Bettany is beside him,


    so there wouldn''t be a problem. We have to leave because Laborn''s men have caught up. There


    might be other people among them too."


    When Mango heard this, she was awake immediately.


    Laborn was able to solve the mess left by Eugene in such a short time, which meant that he was


    really capable.


    "As and Laborn must be working together. Tell our men to prepare to leave. We must head back


    as soon as possible."


    "Yes, madam."


    Thomas replied quickly and went to prepare everyone forbat.


    Mango''s body was still very weak, and at this moment, she really looked down on her tattered body.


    If she could be as energetic as Prisci, she wouldn''t be in such a state right now.


    She couldn''t help but think of Prisci, Anaya, Desmond, and the others as she didn''t know how


    were they doing. It wasn''t suitable for Eugene to reveal his identity, and in order to help her and


    Nathaniel, he had already done so much. How could she ask him for any more favors?


    Not only that, but she was worried about Tristan and Lebanon too.


    Now, they definitely couldn''t contact her, otherwise, Laborn''s people would find Mango by tracking


    the signal. Although they were exposed now, Nathaniel had been rescued.


    This journey was doomed not to be peaceful.


    Then, Mango went to the bathroom and sshed herself with cold water. She had to focus right


    now. Although Nathaniel''s surgery was sessful, he could not move yet, let alone be hurt again.


    "Thomas, order everyone to keep Nathan safe no matter what. Ask Mr. Sanchez''s men if they can


    prepare another ne for us."


    Mango''s words immediately caused Thomas to worry.


    "Madam, what are you nning to do?"


    Mango smiled faintly and said, "Draw them away."


    "I''ll go!"


    "Stay here to protect Nathan."


    Thomas immediately understood Mango''s intentions, but he strongly disagreed.


    "Madam, I think I should do it. You don''t know how to drive a ne and you''ll be in danger. Besides,


    if Mr. Ye wakes up and doesn''t see you..."


    "He deserves it. Didn''t he already n to not see me again?"


    There were tears in Mango''s eyes, but she was very firm. It was not so easy to get rid of her anger


    at what Nathaniel had done.


    Thomas'' heart ached for Nathaniel and quickly spoke up for him.


    "Mr. Ye did it for you..."


    "Thomas, do you know what women hate most?"


    "What?"


    "Women hate it most when a man does something that would make a woman sad all her life for her


    sake. You say it''s for our own good, but how do you know if we really need it?"


    Mango''s words were a little heavy. She even choked on her own words due to the urgency and


    started to cough.


    Thomas, however, was stunned by Mango''s words.


    How could this be?


    Nathaniel risked his life to ensure Mango''s safety. What did he do wrong?


    Mango saw Thomas'' expression and knew that this clueless man couldn''t understand her, and


    perhaps even Nathaniel couldn''t understand either.


    She didn''t care if people thought that she was ungrateful, but she would rather die on the battlefield


    with Nathaniel than leave him there and live in guilt and regret for the rest of her life.


    Because of Nathaniel, she would be able to survive, but the person she loved and had been fighting


    for would be gone. Then what was the meaning of her life?


    Other people might not understand, but Nathaniel did. He knew, but he still did it to Mango, and it


    was truly unforgivable.


    She loved him and was worried about him. In order to save him, she would do anything, even


    risking everything she had. However, this did not mean that she would forgive him.


    The atmosphere felt frozen for a moment.


    Thomas felt very depressed and quickly said, "Madam, since you hate what Mr. Ye had done, aren''t


    you doing the same by risking your life to protect him?"


    "It isn''t the same."


    Mango looked at Thomas and said slowly, "I had the ability to fight back then and I could have


    stayed behind to help him, but now, he can''t fight. He hasn''t even woken up. Secondly, I''m not going


    there blindly. I will get someone to drive the ne over the Trident Ocean. I have looked at the map


    here and we are not far away from the Trident Ocean. As long as Laborn''s jets follow us there, I''ll


    destroy every one of them. He''ll pay double for what he did to me and Nathan. Thirdly, I have


    already contacted Chief Eaves and Mateo. The military will soon arrive at Trident Ocean to


    cooperate with me. I have also contacted Walter and Deborah. The Grey family''s sail line will be


    opened for us. Take Nathaniel with you and go to the next assembly point. People from the Grey


    family will be waiting for you there and return home by sea."


    Hearing Mango''s arrangements, Thomas was filled with shock.


    Such meticulous arrangement was definitely not thought up on the spur of the moment. In other


    words, Mango had already made all these arrangements the moment she nned to save


    Nathaniel.


    Thomas had always thought that Mango had gone to save Nathaniel out of love and recklessness.


    He had thought that she didn''t care about the consequences, but now, he realized that he had been


    wrong. At the moment she decided to save Nathaniel, Mango had already made detailed


    arrangements that had no fault in them.
