Chapter 1499
Mango and Nathaniel looked nervously at Tristan.
There was a hint of coldness in his eyes and the corner of his mouth was slightly lifted up, which
made his smile look a bit bitter.
"So Tristan should sacrifice his body for our country."
Mango immediately let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he was thinking the same thing.
"But if that''s the case, Prisci would be heartbroken."
Nathaniel knew that this was the best way to protect Tristan, but he had to keep the news that
Tristan was still alive a secret. Once the news was spread, everyone''s attention would be fixed on
Prisci. As long as she made a move, Tristan''s previous efforts would be in vain.
When Tristan thought of how Prisci couldn''t eat or drink because of him, he felt as if his heart was
being stabbed by a knife.
"I have to hurt her now in order to be with her in the future, but I swear that I will love her for the rest
of my life."
Although Tristan said this, he knew that the pain of losing a husband was extremely hard to endure.
Mango also felt sorry for the Prisci.
Nathaniel whispered, "Have you ever thought about it? Your father knows that you are still alive. Do
you want to tell him about this?"
"No."
Tristan shook his head.
"Uncle has suffered for so many years, but he still hasn''t changed his principles. I know that he will
leave the military area for me and he''ll do anything to protect me, but I don''t him to do so. It was not
easy for uncle and aunt to be together. They should enjoy each other''spany after suffering for
all these years, and they don''t have to repay me. This document is top secret. Since I haven''t seen
it before, I don''t need to see it in the future either. I''m not someone who would drag down my whole
family for my own safety."
"But my parents know that you are still alive. If the news of your death is spread, I''m afraid it''s hard
to exin."
Mango''s words caused Tristan to smile. "I''m not leaving all of you. Uncle wishes for us to return to
the Santell Capital together. If I didn''t know about anything before this, I wouldn''t have gone there
by now. However, my life isn''t under my control anymore and I have to purge the poison in my
father''s body as well. I still have a wife to take care of, so I need to fulfil my responsibilities. As long
as I''m still alive, I will always be an abnormality and I''ll always be noticed by everyone. Even my
loved ones and my wife will be under surveince. This is unfair to them."
"Is it fair to you?"
Mango''s heart ached for Tristan.
Tristan smiled slightly and said indifferently, "It''s not, but I have really devoted myself to improving
myself in the past few years. Let''s call it even."
"Tristan."
Mango could not help but wrap her arms around Tristan''s waist.
Nathaniel frowned slightly. He really wanted to kick Tristan out, but he held himself back because of
Mango.
"How are you going to die?"
Nathaniel was gritting his teeth as he spoke and his eyes were fixed on Mango''s arms that were
around her brother. Tristan couldn''t help but be stunned for a moment before he understood what
was going on. He couldn''t help butugh.
This man would get jealous extremely easily. However, Tristan would probably feel the same if
Prisci was holding Nathaniel now.
"Alright, a woman like you should know how to act properly. You still have to keep a distance from
men. You should at least be mindful of your husband''s mood, shouldn''t you?"
Tristan''s words made Mango stunned for a moment before she understood. In a blink of an eye, she
saw Nathaniel''s embarrassed gaze and couldn''t help butugh.
"You''re so childish. This is my brother!"
"If it weren''t for that, he would have been dead a long time ago."
Nathaniel muttered.
"Oh, then I have to thank you."
Tristan nced at him contemptuously and said, "As long as we don''t leave this ce, everything is
possible. Maybe I can discuss it with Desmond."
"Desmond?"
Nathaniel and Mango immediately became nervous.
"Isn''t Desmond losing control now? What are you going to do?"
Tristan whispered, "Since my blood can let Desmond lose consciousness for a while, maybe he will
regain his senses if I give him more blood!"
"No way!"
Mango and Nathaniel spoke in unison.
"Are you crazy? Don''t you know your own situation? Do you know how precious is your blood?
There is no one in the world who can give you a blood transfusion! If you bleed too much and your
life is threatened, you will really die!"
Nathaniel really wanted to strangle Tristan because he couldn''t understand what thetter was
thinking.
However, Tristan said calmly, "If not, can you think of a better way to escape? Unless Desmond rips
my body to shreds, where can you find a body like mine? The most important thing is that our blood
composition is the same!"
Mango and Nathaniel fell silent after hearing these words.
Indeed, no one in the world could have the same blood type as Tristan.
"But..."
"There are no ''buts''. If I don''t do this, I will be regarded as a mereb rat and even my children will
not be safe in the future. In this case, so what? I still need you to cooperate with me at that time."
Tristan''s words made Nathaniel feel stressed.
"You would never remember me when you get good things."
"Of course, good things will be left for my wife. Why should I remember you? You''re not my wife."
Tristan''s words made Nathaniel speechless.
Alright, it was his fault.
Mango was still a little worried.
"Tristan, let''s think of another way."
"There''s no time. It''s almost dawn and it''s toote."
Tristan made up his mind.
Although Mango still felt that something wasn''t right, she didn''t dare to retort. After all, Tristan was
speaking the truth.
After Tristan left, Mango''s heart tightened.
"Nathan, do you think my brother''s n will work?"
"We must seed, otherwise everything will be over. If this fails, everyone will know about this n
and it will attract the attention of the higher authorities. They will even suspect Dad for treason."
Nathaniel thought much farther into the future.
"Then what should we do? My brother needs to give his blood for this n to work. Who knows how
much blood would be needed? In order for this to be convincing, arge amount of my brother''s
blood would need to be on the crime scene. However, the amount of blood he can give is limited.
Although it can be replenished, it would need time. I''m really scared..."
How could Nathaniel not be afraid?
Since Mango could think of these problems, Tristan must have also thought of them. He frowned
tightly.
"I''ll call Bettany and ask her to get some bloodnourishing medicine. As long as Tristan starts his
n, I''ll ask Bettany and the others to help him. It''s better to let Lebanon arrange a ce for Tristan
to rest."
Mango was a little worried when Bettany was mentioned.
"My mother was poisoned at that time, but she was diagnosed with cancer. This piece of news was
given by Bettany, but I don''t know if she is trustworthy. Tristan and my mother are my most
important family members, I..."
"I know, but don''t worry. I don''t know how Bettany used to be and I''ll ask about your mother''s
matters, but I know that she will never betray me now."
Nathaniel''s words surprised Mango.
"You''re that confident?"
"It''s not that, but it''s because my brother poisoned her."
Nathaniel had never mentioned this to anyone else before. Since Mango was so worried, he
decided to let her know.
" Maverick?" "Yes."
Nathaniel nodded.
"He has the same worries as you. He was afraid that Bettany would have ulterior motives by staying
with me, so he poisoned her. If she isn''t loyal to me, she would die miserably."
Mango didn''t know much about the blood hexes so far, but she believed it since Nathaniel was the
one who told her about it.
"Well, let''s act separately. I''ll call my brother and you can call Bettany. Everything will be ready."
"All right."
The couple began to move quickly.
This night was bound to be extraordinary.
At about 4 a.m., theb that Desmond was locked in was kicked open again. Desmond ran out
madly and killed the guards before he ran all the way to the periphery of the dark forest.
Dennis, Queena, and the others chased him after they got the news. Tristan also ran out in front of
them.
"Bring some sedatives and follow me!"
Tristan''s words made the researchers follow him.
Queena said with some concern, "Why did
Desmond sleep for such a short while this time? Did it only take him two hours to wake up?"
Dennis'' face became a little more serious.
"If that''s the case, I''m afraid Desmond can''t control himself."
"What should we do?"
Queena couldn''t help but worry when she knew how much pressure Dennis was under.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.
"Bring Desmond back first."
All the people went out to look for Desmond.
Mango was left behind because she was pregnant. Zion was worried for his mother, so he came
over to apany her.
"Mommy, don''t worry. Uncle Desmond will be fine."
Although he was young, he knew that this matter was beyond his abilities. He only hoped that these
comforting words would be useful to Mango.
Mango nodded and held Zion in her arms. She whispered, "I won''t be afraid with you here."
However, Mango''s heart was in turmoil.
This was a risky n. If it failed, all of them would be finished.
Mango didn''t think that everyone here was really on Dennis'' side.
Dennis had been trapped on Koiton''s ind for so many years, so how could he have any trusted
subordinates and influence? The people here were probably sent by the higher-ups to assist
Dennis'' research.
Therefore, Nathaniel was right. Today''s n must be sessful.
Mango was on tenterhooks as she waited and Lebanon didn''t dare to rx. He had sent someone
to find a secret residence for Tristan to stay, but he found that there would be a risk no matter where
it was.
The chief guard couldn''t help but say when he saw how anxious Lebanon was, "Sir, I have an idea,
but I don''t know if it will work."
"Tell me now! As long as your n works, I will give your family riches that willst them a lifetime."
To Lebanon, nothing was more important than his family. The only rtives he had now were
Prisci and Tristan, and he was even willing to step down from his title to save them.
