Chapter 103
Regardless of what Terrance was thinking. Mango was the first to stand up and quickly came to the door of the operating room.
"Doctor, how is he?"
Mango's palm were sweating.
She hadn't had this kind of feeling for a long time. That kind of nervousness seemed to be a hundred or even a thousand times worse than when she was checking her college entrance exam result.
The doctor took off his mask, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "He should be fine for now, but we still need to see whether he will have a fever tonight. If he can make it through tonight and wake up tomorrow morning, he will be alright, if not..."
The doctor didn't say the following words, but Mango still understood.
Tonight was the most crucial night.
"May I stay with him tonight?"
Mango knew that Nathaniel would probably be sent to the ICU given the fact he had been so seriously injured, and the families were not allowed to be in the ICU. But Mango felt too worried to go back like this. She kept telling herself that Nathaniel was Rita' only hope. Only when she saw him come back to life would Rita have hope.
The doctor was in a dilemma. Thomas happened to be back at this time.
"Let her stay. She is Mr. Ye's fiancee, the future hostess of our Ye Family!"
Thomas' words stunned Mango.
After hearing Thomas' words, the doctor immediately became respectful to Mango.
"Miss Shen, please change into a sterile suit and follow us into the ICU. But you'd better eat something before going inside because the family members are not allowed to bring food in there. You know, the patients get the infusion of nutrient drips."
The doctor's words made Mango nod.
Although she was not hungry now, in order to have the strength to take care of Nathaniel, she forced herself to eat something, and then she changed into a sterile suit and followed to the ICU where Nathaniel
was.
Terrance wanted to say something at this time, but no one gave him a chance.
Seeing him like this, Thomas said lightly, "Mr. Hans, you'd better wait outside. Our Miss Shen said that you can't leave as long as Mr. Ye is still in danger."
"What a joke! Since when do I, Terrance Hans, need a woman's permission to go anywhere?"
Hearing Terrance's words, his bodyguards couldn't even stand it.
If he didn't need a woman's permission, then Mr. Hans, why didn't you just leave, and why did you have to stay here all the time? Why did you insist on waiting for Nathaniel to come out? However, no one dared to say that to Terrance unless he wanted to die.
However, Thomas didn't seem to hear what Terrance said. He still said coldly, "Of course no one dares to stop Mr. Hans from going anywhere. Nor did anyone dare to stop you from shooting on the street, did they?"
These words made Terrance feel lost for words, he indeed did that.
He sat angrily in the wheelchair and said to the bodyguard beside him, "Go and buy me something to eat. Do you want to starve me to death?"
As soon as he got the news that Mango had returned, Terrance rushed over immediately. Before he could do anything else, Nathaniel had come up with such a plan. Now it was almost midnight, and he hadn't eaten anything yet.
If he hadn't seen Mango eat something just now, he would have forgotten that he hadn't eaten anything at night.
Of course, the bodyguards didn't dare to cause any delay, so they went to buy food in a hurry. Thomas was arranging the security work around, regardless of whether Terrance Hans was there or not. Terrance felt that he was really unlucky today.
The phone rang again. When he saw it was Madam Hans' number, Terrance sighed softly and then clicked the answer button.
"Mom."
"Nathaniel hasn't woken up yet?"
Madam Hans sounded a little anxious. What kind of mother did that to her own son?
Terrance Hans finally found out today.
"He just got out of the operating room, but his situation is not very good. The doctor said that it all depends on whether he can wake up tomorrow morning or not." Terrance sounded a little tired.
He pushed the wheelchair to a corner and whispered, "Mom, what's going on? Can you explain it clearly to me? I can see it, this thing may really have nothing to do with Katherine."
After hearing her son's question, Madam Hans was silent for a few seconds. Then she sighed and told Terrance Hans everything.
Terrance Hans' whole body froze after he heard that.
"Mom, how could you do such a thing? How could you go that far to look for an illegitimate child who may not be the blood of the Hans family at the cost of the glory of the Hans family which had been earned with a few lives, and you even used such a disgraceful means to blackmail an innocent woman. What were you thinking?"
"I was so anxious that I had no other options. That person said that as long as I did it, he would tell me Newell's whereabouts. I..."
"Let's not talk about whether Newell is a member of our family first. Even if he is, according to the rules of the Hans family, we don't even want such a descendant. My elder brother was a hero and a martyr. If he knew that you treated an innocent person for his illegitimate son, do you think he will Now Terrance almost wanted to find a hole to hide in.
He had always been proud of being a member of the Hans family. He even thought that the people in the Hans family were all upright and righteous and would never do such a thing like blackmailing. Moreover, that person also turned out to be the respected old lady of the Hans family. That was also why he was so angry and desperately wanted to get justice for his mother. He did not expect that all of this had been plotted by his mother, and it was a trap set by his mother!
At the thought of Mango's resolute and unyielding face, Terrance felt that his face which had almost recovered from the swelling was starting to burn with pain again. Except for this time, his own mother slapped him.
Madam Hans didn't expect this to be so serious. She just wanted to find the descendant of the Hans family and she thought that she was just an ordinary woman. Who knew that Nathaniel would protect her like this and even got the Mo family in the capital city involved because of this matter!
"What should we do now?"
Madam Hans was a little anxious.
Terrance's head was full of all kinds of lawsuit.
"What else can we do? It's the Hans family's fault. No matter what Nathaniel is going to do to us, I'll take care of it. As for Katherine, I'll apologize to her face to face. Whatever compensation she wants, I'll try my best to satisfy her. But mom, have you found the person who gave you that message?"
"Not yet."
Speaking of this, Madam Hans became even angrier.
She even came this far regardless of her own reputation, but that person seemed to have suddenly evaporated. There was no news at all, and even the people she sent out had no clues. Terrance knew that he had met an opponent.
"Just stay out of this. Leave everything to me."
Terrance sighed.
It was not until then that Madam finally felt that she had really caused trouble for her son and the Hans family.
"Son, if mother goes to apologize personally, do you think it will be better?"
Madam Hans knew that her son was very proud. Now, letting alone to apologize, even if she was asked to kneel down, she would do as she said, as long as the Hans family would not be ruined. How could Terrance possibly let his mother do this?
"Mom, don't come here for now. You are not in good health. You'd better wait in the hospital. I'm here."
Terrance hung up the phone, feeling all agitated. He hadn't smoked for many years, but at this moment, he had the urge to smoke.
However, this was a hospital after all, and he couldn't do whatever he wanted.
When he returned to the outside of the ICU, Terrance's state of mind was different from before.
It was the Hans family who had misunderstood Nathaniel, and they also wrongly accused Katherine.
When thinking of the Hans family, who had always been upright and just, actually committed such a thing, Terrance Hans felt a little depressed. However, it was not his style to escape from responsibility. He could only wait for Nathaniel to wake up and ask for his and Mango's forgiveness.
After Mango changed into a sterile suit and followed into Nathaniel's ICU, the nurse quickly hung the bottle of drips over Nathaniel and told Mango to look for them when something came up. Then she went out.
When there were only Mango and Nathaniel left in the ICU, the air was terribly quiet. It seemed that besides the ticking sound from the drip, even the heartbeat could not be heard.
Mango looked at Nathaniel in the hospital bed, whose face was as pale as paper, she was in a very complicated mood.
She hadn't seen Nathaniel being this weak for many years.
She had always thought that the fire five years ago had burned all the feelings in her heart to ashes. But at this moment, she finally realized that she still had some leftover feelings to Nathaniel.
In the coma, Nathaniel was very quiet, as if he could leave at any time. She couldn't help but think of Rita.
From the moment Rita was born, she spent more time in sleeping than in waking, just like Nathaniel at this moment.
Just as she was lost in thought, Mango's phone showed a video request.
Mango took a deep breath and adjusted herself hurriedly. Only then did she realize that it was sent by her daughter Rita.
Was this some sort of spiritual connection?
Mango smiled bitterly, but then she quickly clicked the "accept" button.
"Mommy."
Rita1 soft voice was heard. It seemed like a pair of gentle hands, softly calming the pain in Mango's heart.
"Rita, did you just get up?"
"Yes, the sun is so warm today! But Mommy, my chest feels very uncomfortable. Where are you mommy? Are you in the hospital? Are you sick?"
Rita spent all year in the hospital. Naturally, she was very familiar with the hospital furnishings. She often went to the ICU. Now that she saw Mango there, she couldn't help but feel nervous and anxious.
Seeing that her daughter was so anxious, Mango quickly said, "No, mommy is not sick. It's just a friend of mine is ill. Mommy is here to take care of him."
"Mommy's friend? Do I know that person? Is it a he or a she? Mommy, can I have a look?"
Rita was not a very curious girl, but this time, she suddenly wanted to have a look at this friend. Mango's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Why do you want to look at this friend of mine, Rita?"
"I don't know. I just want to see. Mommy, can't I?"
There was a hint of paleness on Rita' lips, which were exactly the same as Nathaniel's.
Mango originally wanted to refuse, but she couldn't bear it after all. She gently pointed the phone at Nathaniel's face.
It was the first time that Rita had seen Nathaniel. A strange feeling lingered around her chest, so much that she couldn't help shouting out loud. "Mommy, who is he? Why does he look so similar to me?"
