Chapter 1525
"I''m afraid that the girl is in danger."
Mango bent forward as she whispered into Nathaniel''s ear in a low voice.
The people outside were too noisy. If she didn''t get close enough, Nathaniel would not be able to
hear her clearly. However, at this moment, he was focused on observing any possible danger
outside. All of a sudden, he felt a surge of warm air beside his ears, which elicited a tingling
sensation. He couldn''t help but shudder as it felt like electricity passing through his body. As to
Mango''s words, he didn''t hear her clearly.
Mango was about to say something when the little girl lost her bnce and directly fell off the wire.
In an instant, everyone around her let out a shout of surprise and horror.
Nathaniel intended to help, but he could not get through the huge crowd blocking his way. He saw
the little girl fall from above and even heard the sound of bones cracking.
Mango was a mother as well. The little girl didn''t seem to be much older than her own child. She
didn''t even know if she was older than Zion and Rita. It was obvious that she was malnourished
from her skinny body and sallowplexion.
Now that she had fallen from the height, the onlookers cried out in shock. Mango asked Nathaniel to
let go of her. Then she pushed the crowd aside and walked over. However, she saw a ferocious
look on a man who seemed to be the leader of the acrobatics team. He immediately whipped the
whip he was holding towards the little girl.
"Bastard! You ruined the show. Did you do it on purpose? Tell me! Did you?"
The whip cut through the air mercilessly. Everyone shuddered in fright in its ferocious wake.
Mango''s heart skipped a beat as she quickened her steps. However, she was still toote. The whip
mmed into the girl''s thin body with a p and instantly tore her clothes apart.
She shivered and raised her head all of a sudden. There was an overwhelming hatred in her eyes,
but she clenched her teeth tightly to endure the pain. Cold sweat was forming on her forehead as
she sped her hands together tightly. If she was able to do it, Mango had no doubts that she
would kill the leader.
The people around her was appalled.
"I''m sure the child didn''t fall down on purpose, did she? She is so young. Why would he hit her?"
"Yes, she might have broken her bones. We''d better send her to the hospital."
Many people around them were also mothers. They felt sorry for the girl when they saw her in this
state. Thus, they started to discuss among themselves.
However, the team leader saw the hateful look in Sissaye''s eyes. He shed the whip at her again
in a fit of rage.
"Why are you ring at me? How dare you re at me after ruining my business!"
Just as the whip was about to reach the girl, Mango stepped forward and grabbed it. The icy look in
her eyes turned colder.
"Don''t you know that beating minors is against thew? I can sue you for your behavior just now!"
The team leader did not expect someone else to interfere in this matter. He could not help but re
at Mango.
Nathaniel went forward and kicked him in the waist. Thetter was knocked to the ground directly in
the process.
"How dare you re at my wife! You have some balls! Trust me, I will gouge your eyes out if you
re at her again."
Nathaniel had the aura of a top dog. Right now, he looked even more domineering, so the leader
was intimidated by him.
He couldn''t afford to offend Nathaniel.
The team leader had years of working experience, so it was only natural for him to be good at
observing others. He didn''t take Mango seriously at all. However, with Nathaniel around, he was
afraid that he had likely offended the local gangs, so he didn''t dare to go against the former. He had
no choice but to say, "This girl is my niece. Her father had instructed her to work with me."
"Even so, you have no right to beat her! Besides, this was an ident and she was hurt. You have
to send her to the hospital no matter what."
Nathaniel was a father himself, so he naturally felt sorry for the child.
When the leader heard that he had to pay for her treatment, he couldn''t help but furrow his brows.
"The girl''s father owes me money. I don''t have the money for her treatment as well, so..."
"Do you have a heart? The girl has been badly injured, but you are thinking about money!"
Mango noticed that even though the little girl was silent, her entire body was shivering. Cold sweat
was forming constantly on her forehead and her face was as white as a sheet.
However, the leader was heartless and coldblooded. This made Mango feel protective of the girl.
"Come with me. I''ll take you to the hospital."
Mango spoke as she was about to bend down and take the girl into her arms. However, the leader
shouted immediately, "No! If you want to take her with you, you must return the money that her
father owed. I''m not a charitable person. I have mouths to feed. Back then, her father promised me
that she would perform in the streets in order to clear his debt. Now, you''re asking me to pay for her
treatment. Absolutely not!"
Nathaniel frowned slightly. He looked at Mango and the girl in her arms. Although he didn''t want to
meddle in other people''s business, he felt sympathy when he looked into the girl''s eyes.
"How much is it?"
"I beg your pardon?"
The leader was somewhat astonished.
Nathaniel said coldly, "How much is her father''s debt to you?"
"Ten thousand dors!"
When the team leader heard that Nathaniel wanted to pay the debt for the girl''s father, he said
hastily.
The girl didn''t say anything since her fall. Even though she was in great pain, she didn''t let out a cry.
However, she spoke when she heard the leader''s words.
"He is talking nonsense. My father only owes him 5,000 dors!"
"Don''t I need to take the interest into ount? Your father owes me 5,000 dors for more than one
year. He sent you to me to pay off his debt. Then he borrowed another 5,000 dors from me. This
is the receipt."
The leader immediately took out the receipt upon hearing this.
The girl looked terrible in the face. At this moment, she bit her lower lip. There was a trace of anger
and despair in her eyes.
Mango had never heard about a father who sold his child out before. Initially, she wanted to say
something, but she didn''t bother to waste her breath when she realized that the problem could be
solved with money.
"Nathan, give him 10,000 dors. We''ll take the girl to the hospital."
Nathaniel shared the same thought.
He came out to have fun with his wife, but he didn''t expect to encounter such a horrible incident.
However, the girl was a little interesting.
Nathaniel took out his mobile phone as he said coldly, "Give me your WhatsApp ID. I will transfer
20,000 dors to you. Don''t mess with the girl anymore."
The leader felt delighted when he heard that he would obtain 20,000 dors.
On the other hand, the girl nced at Mango and Nathaniel. She frowned and remained silent.
After solving this matter, Mango took the little girl to the roadside. Nathaniel hailed a taxi. The two of
them quickly took her to the hospital nearby.
After a brief check-up, it was found that the little girl''s bones in the leg were dislocated. There were
also some cracks. She was lucky to have survived with such injuries when she fell from such a high
ce.
In order to prevent her from getting injured again, Mango and Nathaniel decided to have the girl
stay in the hospital for observation for one day. At the same time, they also obtained her name,
Sissaye Soo.
It was a nice name. It seemed that she had a loving parents.
After Mango had made the arrangements for Sissaye, she asked for her parents'' phone numbers.
However, Sissaye was very cautious. Even though Mango and Nathaniel had saved her, she still
thought of them as strangers that couldn''t be trusted.
She didn''t say anything after refuting the leader''s words. She seemed alert and cautious.

Mango didn''t have the heart to interrogate her. At worst, she would stay and take care of her at
night. Then she would see what she could do tomorrow.
"Are you hungry? Should I buy you something to eat?"
Mango asked in a gentle voice.
Sissaye shook her head and looked downward.
When Mango saw her, she was reminded of her precious son and daughter. She was still a mother.
If Rita were in Sissaye''s shoes now, Mango would definitely be heartbroken.
Mango got up and went outside as she said to Nathaniel, "Tell the doctor to test for the content of
trace elements in the child. I think she is a little malnourished. Since we''ve decided to help her, let''s
do it till the end."
"Okay."
He knew that his wife was kind-hearted, but for some reason, he felt that Sissaye looked familiar.
However, he wasn''t sure if he knew her.
The sense of familiarity was hard to exin. Since Mango had already said so, he naturally wouldn''t
have any objections.
Mango did not enter the room after Nathaniel left. Instead, she went to a restaurant nearby to order
some food for Sissaye.
Although Sissaye''s bones were dislocated with some cracks on them, a young child like her should
be eating good food to ensure proper nutrition.
Mango didn''t know what she liked to eat, so she bought several dishes that she thought would be
the favorite food of younger girls. However, she didn''t see Sissaye when she entered the ward.
"Sissaye, are you here?"
Mango thought that she had gone to the bathroom, so she ced the food on the table and
knocked on the bathroom door. However, no one answered her from inside.
She opened the door. Sissaye was nowhere to be seen, wasn''t she?
Mango felt her heart pounding.
"Could it be that the leader hade back and taken Sissaye away?"
At the thought of this, Mango was a little worried. She quickly ran outside and happened to bump
into Nathaniel, who had just returned.
"What''s the matter?"
Nathaniel couldn''t help but go forward and ask when he saw Mango out of breath.
"Sissaye is not in the room. I can''t find her. Do you think she might have been kidnapped by that
leader?"
"Probably not. We''ll go back and look for her."
Nathaniel took Mango''s hand and returned to the ward. His attention was attracted by a paper on
the floor. Perhaps the paper was blown under the bed because the window was open. It was not
easy to spot at once.
He picked it up and saw the graceful handwriting on it. It said, "Thank you for sending me to the
hospital and paying the debt of my father. I will definitely pay the money back to you in the future.
Thank you for your help."
Sissaye signed her name at the bottom.
She had left without saying goodbye.
Mango felt a little upset.
"She is so young, not to mention that she is wounded. Where would she go? What if she runs into
that leader again? Nathan, we should find her."
"Alright."
Nathaniel wasn''t a kind- hearted person, but he couldn''t stand to see Mango sad. He brought her to
the control room, intending to find out where Sissaye had left so that they would know where to start
looking. However, when he looked at the surveince records, he discovered abruptly that all the
videos that captured Sissaye had been deleted.
If Nathaniel hadn''t been helping her from the start, he would have thought that Sissaye had never
been to this hospital before. This was because the videos had been deleted in an ingenious way.
Not only did she take herself out of the video, but she also edited the videos so that they looked
wless and unedited.
Was Sissaye aputer expert?
