Chapter 2017


    "Why did youe sote?"


    Mango stepped forward with grievance and directly hugged Nathaniel''s sturdy waist.


    After solving the problem that she left for him, he rushed over without stopping. He originally wanted


    to scold her, but at this time, she was clinging to his waist, and his anger was gone in an instant.


    "What''s wrong? Who wronged you? That brat, Zion? I''m going to peel off his skin."


    Nathaniel was about to take action, but was stopped by Mango.


    Her head was pressed tightly against Nathaniel''s chest. Listening to his strong heartbeat, she


    suddenly asked, "Nathaniel, will you die before me?"


    This question made Nathaniel almost unable to stand straight.


    "What had happened to you? I''m just 50 years old, and I''m only middle-aged ording to the


    human lifespan. What''s wrong with you wanting me to die early? Have you met another man and


    think that I''m in your way now?"


    Nathaniel''s eyes instantly turned colder.


    If he knew who the man was, he would kill him.


    When Mango heard Nathaniel''s words, the sad atmosphere disappeared in an instant. She punched


    him hard and said, "How can there be another man? I''m almost crazy because of my two children.


    How will I still be in the mood to meet another man?"


    "Did the children make you angry?"


    "No, it''s Desmond. He may not be able to make it."


    Mango didn''t think about it in this way before. She just thought that Desmond was only tired. But


    now when she saw the light in Desmond''s eyes disappear little by little, and he looked so reluctant


    to leave this world but he couldn''t do anything about it, she felt so upset.


    People couldn''t do anything in the face of life, old age, illness, and death.


    She thought that Nathaniel wouldfort her with a few words, or at least say a white lie to her.


    However, Nathaniel didn''t say a word, which made Mango more or less understand.


    "Did you already know about it?"


    Looking at the reluctance in Nathaniel''s eyes, she couldn''t help but ask.


    Nathaniel nodded slightly.


    "When did it happen? Why didn''t you tell me?" "Desmond didn''t allow me, and I was afraid that you


    would feel upset. In fact, Desmond and I have been in touch all these years. It''s just that you don''t


    know."


    At this critical moment, what else couldn''t he say?


    Nathaniel looked in Desmond''s direction. Desmond seemed to have fallen asleep with his eyes


    closed.


    Mango suddenly felt even worse.


    "What happened to him?”


    "I don''t know. Desmond was already ab mouse when he was in his mother''s womb. It''s already


    perfect for him to be able to live so long and have children.’’


    "How could it be perfect?"


    Mango knew that Desmond''s situation was different, but hadn''t he already lived for so many years?


    Why couldn''t he go on like this?


    Nathaniel couldn''t bear to see Mango like this. He held her in his arms and said in a low voice,


    "People have different lives. You have to let it go when ites to life and death."


    "I can''t. Nathaniel, we have gone through a lot of difficulties with Desmond. Can''t we go through


    this?"


    "He has aged very fast in the past two years, and there is something I need you to know."


    Nathaniel looked at Mango and said in a low voice, "After Rita was framed by Haniya, Desmond


    went to me secretly and nned to pay for me using his life, but I didn''t agree. He loved Haniya, but


    he also knew that Haniya had done something wrong. In order to protect Haniya, Desmond studied


    with his own blood for two years. During this period, he took many unknown drugs and his body had


    a lot of reactions, but in the end, it was resolved. However, his body copsed. The reason why Rita


    could recover was that Desmond gave his blood to Anton to give it to Rita. He made up for Haniya''s


    crime with his life. Otherwise, why do you think I would let Haniya go?"


    Mango waspletely stunned.


    She never thought that Desmond would use his life to protect Haniya.


    But was Haniya worthy of Desmond?


    "I regret it now, Nathaniel. If I had known that Haniya was this kind of person, I wouldn''t have gotten


    her and Desmond together. Desmond deserves better!"


    Nathaniel knew that Mango was upset, but he sighed and said, "What we think is the best is not


    necessarily what Desmond wants. You know, Desmond''s heart was once closed. It was Haniya who


    opened his heart. No matter what fate it is, they are a couple. Desmond''s only wish is to let Haniya


    live a peaceful life, and he doesn''t need her to know the truth."


    "How could he..."


    Mango couldn''t go on.


    Because she knew better than anyone what it felt like to love someone.


    But because of this, she wanted to catch Haniya and give her a good beating.


    Was that woman blind?


    She didn''t cherish the man who loved her so much. What would she do when Desmond was gone?


    Would she regret it?


    Nathaniel''s heart ached even more when he saw that Mango was crying so hard.


    "Although I know your feelings for Desmond, I will be jealous if you don''t stop crying."


    Mango was stunned for a moment and then gave him a hard punch.


    "Were already an old couple. Can you be serious? Can''t you let me feel sad?"


    "No, I''m upset too if you''re sad. Anton ising. Let''s give them some space."


    Nathaniel put his arm around Mango''s shoulder and walked away.


    Anton was going to tell Mango that Zion was looking for her, but when he saw that Nathaniel didn''t


    want to disturb them, he went to see Desmond first. But when he saw Desmond''s face, he was


    stunned.


    "Dad, what''s wrong with you? You''re so pale.


    I''ll take you to the hospital."


    As he spoke, Anton was about to touch Desmond.

    Desmond slowly opened his eyes.


    He looked at his son. In fact, Anton looked a little bit like Haniya, but his temper was very simr to


    his.


    Desmond gently held Anton''s hand and whispered, "Anton, your mother has been fighting for a


    lifetime to prove that she is stronger than others and wants others to think highly of her. To put it


    bluntly, she is selfabased and not confident. The only thing she has done wrongly in this life is to


    plot against Rita. The Blu family owes the Ye family. I used to owe Madam and Mr. Ye a favor, so I


    can live until now. I don''t ask you to be loyal to the Ye family. You can go on your way in the future,


    but promise me to not join the military and only be an ordinary person. Can you do it?”


    Anton was different from Desmond and Haniya. Although he was a helper in this n, he was an


    unofficial member, not a formal member of the military region. Haniya once nned to let Anton


    enter the military region to take over her and Desmond''s position, but Desmond did not agree.


    Once he entered the military region, many things would be out of his control.


    He didn''t want his son to be as helpless as him. He hoped that Anton could live a free life.


    Anton quickly nodded, and he started to sob.


    "I promise you, Dad, I promise you everything. Don''t say anything more. Have a good rest. I''ll take


    you to the hospital. Where''s Mom?”
