Chapter 122
Abyss put his mobile phone aside. His eyes became a little dark, and he seemed to be completely shrouded by cold air, and the repressive atmosphere made the entire office feel cold. The secretary couldn't help but tremble when she came in.
"Mr. Tang, old madam just called. She told you to go back to the old house tonight."
"Get out!"
Abyss was in a nasty mood.
He was not as calm as he appeared to be on the phone, he was even a bit violent, which made the secretary a little scared. She quickly retreated and closed the door of the office. Abyss Tang knew why old Madam Tang asked him to go back.
He would be thirty soon. At such an age, many men started to have children. But he did not have anyone to get married with yet. No wonder old madam would be anxious. However, other than Mango, he really couldn't accept any other candidates from Mrs. Tang.
He still remembered the first time he saw Mango, her long hair was fluttering and she entered the campus all full of energy. She smiled and asked him, "Senior, could you please tell me how to get to the Department of Chinese Language and Literature?"
At that moment, he lost his heart.
Now ten years had passed, he still couldn't let go of this woman. However unfortunately, the person she loved was not him!
Abyss punched his fist on the desk. He hated the unfairness of fate and he hated himself for being softhearted back then. If he hadn't let Mango go back to Ocean City, would she and Zion have been with him still at this moment?
However, if he hadn't let Mango go back, Abyss would have felt very distressed when he saw her crying all day long for Rita's illness.
What on earth should he do?
To let go?
Or to fight for her with his effort?
Abyss' heart felt extremely tormented.
He rarely smoked, for the sake of Zion and Rita, he almost quit smoking. But at this moment, he was in strong need of nicotine to ease his mood. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would go crazy.
The smoke of the cigarette was flowing in the air. Abyss choked and coughed a little, with tears coming out.
At first, he tried his best to hold back, but then he stopped hiding his emotions and let his tears run down from the corner of his eyes.
He had the authority and the decision making power for the whole financial street in the United States, but somehow, he couldn't win a woman's heart.
He felt himself very pathetic and ridiculous.
The secretary knocked on the door in horror from outside.
"Get lost!"
Abyss swept all the things on the table to the ground. The loud noise scared the secretary to shiver again. She really wanted to turn around and run away, but after hesitating for a while, she still said nervously, "Mr... Mr. Tang, there is a phone call from the hospital. Miss Rita is not in a good situation."
As soon as she said that, Abyss pushed the chair directly and opened the door of the office.
"What did you say?"
His tone sounded anxious, his body was still carrying the smell of cigarette, and the tears on his face had not dried up yet. His secretary had never seen him in such a mess, and she was subconsciously stunned.
"What did you say?"
Abyss roared like getting crazy.
Only then did the secretary came back to her senses.
"The hospital called and said that Miss Rita1 situation is not very good."
Abyss rushed out crazily.
"Mr. Tang, your face..."
The secretary wanted to say that there were still tears on his face, but she swallowed back the rest of the remaining words.
What kind of person was Abyss?
He was a tycoon in the financial world in the United States.
How could he possibly cry?
And in the entire United States, who was capable of making Mr. Tang cry?
So she must have seen it wrong.
The secretary kept reminding herself, but the shock in her heart had already swept across all her senses like a storm.
Abyss ran out crazily, and then he ran back again like a madman. Before the secretary could respond, she saw the president said to her with a gloomy and serious face, "If designer Shen calls, don't tell her about the situation of Rita' illness. Do you hear me?"
"But isn't she the mother of Rita? What if..."
"There's no what-ifs! Nothing will happen to her, and I won't let anything happen to her. If designer Shen finds about this, you can pack up your stuff and get out of here."
At this time, Abyss returned to the decisive look he used to have in the business world, as if that weakness flashed by just now was just an illusion from the secretary. The secretary quickly nodded.
Since her future career was involved, how would she dare to say anything? Seeing the secretary nod, Abyss finally left in a hurry.
After he left, the secretary sat back on the chair and felt as if she had just gone through a death experience.
When Mr. Tang put his flame in full swing, it was simply too scary.
She patted herself on the chest. When she was about to go back to work, she heard the telephone on the table ringing.
"Hello, President's office of H'J Group. Who is this please?"
The secretary tried her best to restore her original working status.
Mango coughed and said, "Secretary Liu, it's me, Mango."
As soon as she said her name, Secretary Liu almost dropped the phone in her hand.
Mr. Tang had really expected this!
As soon as he left, Mango called here. If Abyss hadn't told her in advance, she really didn't know how to respond.
"Designer Shen, what's the matter?"
"What is Mr. Tang doing right now?"
Mango knew it was a little abrupt for her to ask like this, but since her words just now was really too harsh, she was afraid that Abyss could not bear it.
Secretary Liu coughed and said, "Mr. Tang has just received a case. He has just entered the conference room and is now discussing with the executives about its feasibility. He may be there for a while. Designer Shen, do you need me to leave a message to Mr. Tang? Why don't you tell me about it and then I will deliver the message to Mr. Tang after the meeting is over."
"There's no need for that. I don't have anything specific to tell him."
Mango quickly stopped her.
After learning that he had gone back to the meeting, Mango finally felt relieved.
It seemed that Abyss was in the middle of his work. That was not bad.
If he got busy at work, he could distract himself from his relationship.
"By the way, Secretary Liu, I'd like to ask how Rita is doing recently?"
In fact, she could have asked Abyss about this, but it was really not appropriate for her to call Abyss at the time being.
The secretary's heart was suddenly lifted.
"Miss Rita has been actively cooperating with the doctor's treatment recently. At present, everything is quite stable. Mr. Tang will go ver there to spend time with Miss Rita every day. Designer Shen, don't worry."
"That's good. I just tried to have a video call with Rita, but she didn't answer. I was just a little worried."
Mango was really worried about Rita.
After listening to her words, Secretary Liu quickly said, "Maybe the special caretaker has taken Ms. Rita out to bask in the sun. The doctor said it's better for Miss Rita to bask in the sun more often. Moreover, there is radiation from the mobile phone more or less. Mr. Tang wants her to play with it less."
"That's right. Sorry to trouble you. I'll go back and pick Rita up as soon as possible."
After finishing her words, Mango hung up the phone.
She stood at the corner of the stairs and looked out of the window at the children who were playing happily outside. Her heart felt a little heavy.
When would Rita be able to live her life so happily in the sun just like these children?
Mango's mood was a little heavy, but all of a sudden she heard Thomas exclaim.
"Mr. Ye has come out!"
Mango quickly calmed down her emotions and quickly ran back to the door of the operating room.
"Doctor, how is he?"
Mango was a little breathless due to her anxiety.
The doctor said in low voice, "Mr. Ye's physical condition is still good, but this time he has lost too much blood, so he really needs to rest. In the following days, if there is nothing important, I hope Mr. Ye won't walk around anymore."
"Okay, okay."
After hearing that Nathaniel was fine, Mango was finally relieved. Nathaniel was pushed into the ward. Zion had not yet woken up, and the doctor added a bed to let Zion sleep on it.
After learning that Nathaniel was fine, Thomas quietly stepped out and left Mango all the privacy.
Mango looked at Nathaniel who was in a coma and Zion who was sleeping soundly, she suddenly felt extremely calm.
That was but the kind of life she wanted.
She held Nathaniel's hand with one hand and Zion's little hand with another. With her lips slightly raised, she then rested her head on Nathaniel's bed and fell asleep.
She hardly rested for a day and a night, and she had already reached her limit by staying up till this moment.
When Nathaniel woke up, he happened to see Mango sleeping soundly on the side of his bed.
He didn't dare to move because he was afraid that he would wake Mango up with a single move.
She was exhausted from that whole day.
Nathaniel Ye felt distressed and reached out his other hand. He wanted to gently caress Mango's head, but only to hear a kid's voice next to her.
"Don't move. Mommy sleeps very light."'
Nathaniel then looked up and suddenly found Zion lying next to him, and his little hand was also held by Mango. At this time, he was still, but obviously, his body was a little stiff.
"When did you wake up?" Nathaniel felt very gratified for his son's considerate behavior, but he also felt distressed for him.
Zion turned his head awkwardly and did not speak. Perhaps he did not know how to face Nathaniel.
This man didn't look so annoying now. What should he do?
Should he continue to hate him?
Nathaniel could not help but laugh when he saw how awkward his son was.
He had never known, just by looking at Zion like this, he felt as if he had owned the whole world.
That sense of satisfaction was not something that could be provided by some million-dollar contracts or business.
"Are you hungry?"
Nathaniel still remembered what Zion had gone through, so he asked in a hurry.
Zion really wanted to say that he was not hungry, but his little belly betrayed him and was making some noise.
The smile on Nathaniel's face became even brighter, which made Zion very embarrassed. He directly said with annoyance: "I'm not hungry."
"But I'm hungry. Would you like to eat something with me?"
Nathaniel didn't care about Zion's attitude and said softly.
Zion's eyes suddenly lit up, but he said awkwardly: "Since you have saved me, I will reluctantly eat something with you." "Then I have to thank you."
Nathaniel said as he threw his mobile phone to Zion.
"Your right hand is available, so turn on the phone and call Thomas, ask him to send some food here. The unlocking password is your mommy's birthday."
Zion paused for a moment when he heard that. Then he swiped on the phone and called Thomas.
After making the call, Zion suddenly did not know what to say to Nathaniel.
The guy whom he had always thought of as a bad person had suddenly changed his role. For a moment, he didn't know how to face and get along with him, so the atmosphere in the ward suddenly became awkward.
