Chapter 124
Nathaniel looked at Zion, and Zion deliberately turned his head away from him.
That's right!
He did it on purpose!
After all, Nathaniel was so haughty.
Even if he felt that Nathaniel was a little better than his godfather, he would not admit it now.
Zion had his own plan in his mind, but Nathaniel didn't know it. He just looked at his own son with some distress. He deeply felt that in order for his son to accept him from the bottom of his heart, there was still a very long way to go.
In fact, Mango woke up at some point. When she saw the father and son bickering, she couldn't help but feel a little funny.
She had never known that Nathaniel could be so childish. It was really eye-opening for her to see him argue so seriously with a four or five-year-old child.
When she saw that Nathaniel was getting so angry, Mango finally couldn't hold back anymore and laugh.
"Mommy, are you awake?"
Hearing Mango's laughter, Zion quickly turned around and looked at Mango with concern.
"Yes, I'm awake."
Mango found out that in order not to disturb her during the rest, Zion's little hand had been holding her palm all the time.
"Is your arm feeling numb? Silly child, why don't you take your hand back? Let mommy have a look."
Mango quickly got up and loosened Nathaniel's hand.
When the source of warmth suddenly left, Nathaniel felt a sense of loss in his heart. Especially when he saw that Mango did not look at him since she woke up. Instead, she focused all her attention on Zion. Nathaniel's heart suddenly felt it unfair.
He was the patient, alright?
"Ahem!"
Nathaniel pretended to cough, hoping to attract Mango's attention and care. Unfortunately, Zion had already seen through his intention and he quickly said coyly, "Mommy, I can't move my arm." "Good boy, it's okay. Mommy will give you a massage."
Mango heard Nathaniel's coughing. She was going to turn back to have a look, but when she heard Zion's words, she quickly went to rub Zion's arm all attentively.
In her opinion, Zion was still a child who had just experienced such a terrible thing. In order not to disturb herself, Zion's arm got numb. As a mother, she could not just ignore him. But Nathaniel was an adult, and the doctor was here, too, so he should have no problem.
As Mango thought so, she naturally put Nathaniel behind her back. "Will it be better?"
Mango asked Zion in a soft voice.
Zion nodded quickly and said, "It's much better, but it still feels numb. Mommy, please rub it for a big longer."
"Okay."
Mango smiled at Zion dotingly and then she said softly, "Don't be so silly in the future. If Mommy falls asleep, you can take your hand out. It doesn't matter. Mommy won't wake up."
How could she not know her son's intention of doing this?
They said that women were all close to their mothers, while in Mango's opinion, Zion was her closest family, even closer than those daughters.
"Alright!"
Zion smiled happily and triumphantly stuck out his tongue at Nathaniel, obviously showing off.
Nathaniel felt it to be really heart-wrenching.
He was actually despised by his own son.
Moreover, his wife didn't even seem to notice that he was a patient at all.
"Ouch, it hurts!"
Nathaniel frowned all of a sudden. He covered his chest and grunted, and his expression looked extremely painful.
Mango quickly turned around. When she saw Nathaniel's pale face and sweat on his head, she immediately panicked. "What's wrong? Is the wound split open again? I'm going to find a doctor. Don't move!" Mango was so nervous that she turned around and ran outside.
Her speed was so fast that Nathaniel could not help but feel amazed.
Zion looked at Nathaniel with some contempt and said, "You are already an adult, yet you still compete with me for my mother's love, even with such a despicable method. Are you not ashamed?" Nathaniel said indifferently: "I don't care if the method is despicable or not, as long as it's useful. So? Your mommy still cares about me the most, doesn't she?" "Humph! Childish!"
Zion felt that he should changed his view on Nathaniel Ye from just now.
Although this man was powerful, he was still immature!
He even played tricks with a child like him, how shameless!
Nathaniel didn't feel ashamed, instead, he took it as an honor. Perhaps he was indeed too happy, so the sadness followed soon. His chest was really hurt from being pulled, and he suddenly gnashed his teeth.
"You deserve this!"
Zion said it without any sympathy at all. Then he got off the bed coolly and said to the bodyguard outside, "I want to go out for a walk. Come with
me. He had experienced kidnapping, and now he didn't dare to run around alone. But staying here and watching Nathaniel acting coquettishly to his mommy, Zion didn't think he had a mental strength strong enough to handle that.
He might as well go out for a walk so as not to be disgusted by that old man Nathaniel.
Nathaniel felt he was definitely not his own son. Otherwise, how could he be so ruthless?
"Zion, you brat, you really don't care about my life and death?"
Nathaniel did not give up and let out a cry.
Zion said without looking back, "Don't worry, you won't die. They say bad people all live long, and you'll have a long life."
"You brat, ouch..."
Nathaniel's wound was truly injured this time.
Cold sweat was dripping down his forehead. He covered his chest with one hand, and red blood oozed out of his fingers again.
Nathaniel suddenly gave a wry smile.
How could such a small wound make him so vulnerable at this moment?
He was not this weak back then!
Or did he become particularly vulnerable since his wife and child were around?
When Nathaniel kept reflecting on himself, Mango had already run in with doctors and nurses.
"Doctor, take a look at him. He seems to be bleeding."
Mango was very nervous at the moment.
Nathaniel's chest had been injured continuously. In her eyes, this was no different from courting death. She had just resolved her past enmity with Nathaniel. She had not yet let the children experience the feeling of a father's love, so she could not let anything happen to Nathaniel again.
If Nathaniel knew what Mango was thinking for the time being, he would probably be depressed to death.
Seeing Mango's anxious eyes flowing on his body, she didn't even notice that Zion was not there. Nathaniel finally opened his mouth and smiled.
"I'm fine. Don't worry."
"Stop laughing! From now on, you'll have to stay on the bed obediently. You're not allowed to go anywhere without my permission and you're not allowed to move either!"
Mango felt that Nathaniel was completely oblivious.
Didn't he know how dangerous the wound was on his chest?
Moreover, since his blood type was so rare, what if something happened?
Seeing that Mango was angry, Nathaniel quickly said, "I promise I won't move. Even if I need to go to the toilet, I will tell you first. If you don't let me go, I will just hold it."
With a "poof", the doctor and nurses couldn't help laughing, which made Mango's face and neck suddenly blushed. "I didn't mean that."
Mango felt that Nathaniel had done it on purpose for sure.
This man used to be so cold and arrogant, and at the moment he was equivalently unbearable. She couldn't believe how a cold and arrogant man suddenly act like a spoiled child, regardless of the occasions? However, Nathaniel did not feel embarrassed at all. He smiled foolishly and kept staring at Mango. His eyes so tender like the water, which made Mango unable to bear it.
"Doctor, how is he?"
Mango could only look away.
The doctor smiled and said, "It's okay. Mr. Ye was just being too active. He suddenly pulled the wound and it needs to be bandaged again."
"Thank you, doctor."
On the other hand, Mango felt confused in her heart.
He was just lying on the bed. How could he be that active? What did he do just now?
Mango subconsciously looked at Zion's bed and found that Zion was missing.
"Zion!"
She immediately became nervous and she even wanted to turn around and run outside.
Nathaniel hurriedly stopped her.
"Zion went out for a walk, and there are bodyguards following him closely. You don't have to worry. After a while, Thomas will send the food over, and he will come back." After listening to Nathaniel's words, Mango finally calmed down.
"I'm scared to death."
"Don't worry. Under my nose, I won't let him get hurt anymore."
Nathaniel knew just how much damage Zion's missing had caused to Mango this time. As he was talking softly, the doctor suddenly felt awkward by standing here.
"Mr. Ye, I've bandaged your wound. Please don't participate in intense workout. We are leaving now, call us when you need us!"
The doctor left with a smile.
Mango suddenly felt the way the doctor and the nurses looked at her was somewhat ambiguous.
She thought for a moment, puzzled, and then she suddenly remembered what the doctor had said just now, "Don't participate in intense workout?"
Did the doctor and the nurses misunderstand anything?
Mango suddenly realized it and said with a blush, "No, it's not like what you think. Nothing happened between us."
As soon as she said that, the doctor and the nurses smiled even more equivocally.
"Yes, we all understand that."
As they spoke, they quickly left the ward. Mango felt it was futile to argue, and there was nothing she could do to explain herself.
"No, we really didn't do anything."
She cried out feeling a bit helpless, while Nathaniel burst into laughter.
"How can you still laugh, it's all because of you!"
Mango glared at him coquettishly, biting her lower lip and looking particularly shy.
Nathaniel had not seen Mango like this for a long time. He suddenly felt his body tightened, and a small flame sprang up in one place, spreading rapidly to his limbs and bones like a burning fire.
"Come here!"
Nathaniel's throat was a little hoarse, and his eyes were also a little dark. The sudden sparkle in his eyes suddenly made Mango understand something.
"No!"
Mango refused directly and she even subconsciously took a step back. At this time, she was like a frightened rabbit, as if everytime Nathaniel made a slight move, she would turn around and run away. Nathaniel rolled his throat and said in a low voice: "Come here. I have something to say to you. It's about Zion."
As soon as she heard Zion's name, Mango was stunned and walked over suspiciously.
But before she could reach him, Nathaniel stretched out his long arm and grabbed Mango's arm, pulling her right into his arms.
