When Lebanon received those photos, he was still under house arrest.
As Bernard's identity had been exposed, he was deprived of some power. The king had temporarily put him under house arrest. He was not really clear about the situation outside. Nevertheless, he could only know that his mother, Doris' forces seemed to be deprived, while Bettany who was his mother's most trusted person had also disappeared.
He finally got to know that his mother was still alive after so many years, but he had no chance to meet her even once.
He ever thought about rushing out desperately just to look for Doris, but he knew that it was merely a suicidal act by going out at the moment upon thinking of his leverages and power left over by him.
No way!
He still could not die!
Just when Lebanon was feeling depressed, he received a text from Nathaniel.
The internet signals in his palace had long been blocked, but Nathaniel still managed to send photos to him. It could be seen that Nathaniel was indeed powerful.
However, what Lebanon didn't know was that at a side hall of Angolla, a languid woman was lying on a recliner, with a maid using her hand to hold a laptop for her while the woman quickly typed and filtered some of the signals that could not be reached before blocking them.
Upon looking at the photo sent by Nathaniel to Lebanon, the woman received a text from him at the same time.
"Send these photos to Lebanon and ask him to send them to Bernard. Do remember, you have to make sure that the photos are sent out from Lebanon."
That woman looked extremely pretty and her every movement was elegant with decent manners like a dame.
She paused for a moment before sending the message to Lebanon.
Little did Lebanon know about the twists and turns in between of the matter. Looking at the photos with deep thoughts, he sent them to Bernard.
Meanwhile, Bernard was on the verge of insanity when he received those photos.
"You b*stard! Nathaniel, you're not even human!
Sisella is your biological sister, how dare you to do that to her!"
He was so frustrated that his whole body trembled. Then, he smashed everything around him that could be swept to the ground.
After Nathaniel finished, he simply pulled out the dagger from Sisella's chest and said coldly to the man behind him, "Find a doctor to stop the bleeding and strike her a blow each day. Do remember, I want a piece of flesh from her each day and keep her alive with the best drug. After all, she's still carrying the baby of the Zhao family in her belly. Our family has owed Newell too much, we have to make sure the baby is safely delivered."
"Yes, boss."
Every subordinate knew Sisella's identity.
She was Nathaniel's biological younger sister.
However, he had asked his man to cut Sisella's flesh every day without hesitation. His viciousness had made people shudder.
Sisella immediately broke down upon hearing his words.
She couldn't imagine how painful it was for her flesh to be cut!
Her brother had completely lost his mind!
"Nathaniel, you can't do this to me! You can't! I am your biological sister after all! I'm your only sister!"
"You're simply too blaring."
Nathaniel said indifferently, he slightly raised his hand and Sisella's jaw was being dislocated once again.
She couldn't even commit suicide right at the moment.
Seeing Nathaniel turned around and left without showing her any concern, Sisella cried and couldn't move at all.
Apparently, Sisella had used up the last of her mercy deep inside Nathaniel's heart.
She could have lived a happy life.
She used to have a husband who loved her, and soon she would have a lovely child. The family of three would also own the company share. If only she hadn't been compelled by Bernard, her life would be much blissful than anyone else.
However, people would get swallowed by their own desires by greed.
Nathaniel restrained the emotions in his eyes and directly walked outside.
Nobody dared to stop him during the time.
Nathaniel walked out of the Baxter Alliance with unimpeded access and he was then drove to the hospital.
Zion was brought into the room for treatment, but Mango refused to let go of his hand regardless no matter what. In the end, the doctor had no choice but to let her in.
Zion was barely unconscious but he could still feel the warmth and concerns from Mango. He smiled subconsciously and said, "I'm fine, Mommy. Don't cry."
Mango was on the verge of tears.
"Mommy isn't crying, I'm here for you."
The doctor had given Zion an anesthetic.
The kid quickly fell asleep under the stimulation of the drug.
Mango watched as the doctor rescued Zion. His tiny body was lying on the operating table, looking lonely and fragile.
She was feeling deeply distressed.
Nathaniel came in when the door of the operation room opened.
Mango was slightly stunned upon seeing Nathaniel. However, she could not say anything at the moment, she wanted to hold Nathaniel's hand instead but he dodged her.
She paused all of a sudden.
Mango looked up at Nathaniel's eyes.
His pair of good-looking phoenix eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist at that time, covering his true emotions.
Mango suddenly panicked.
She was shocked at the same time.
She thought that Nathaniel was blaming her for not protecting Zion, but little did she know that Nathaniel was concerned about her safety.
He was pissed off because she had put herself in
danger.
"I'm sorry, Nathan. I..."
"Would death occur if every act could be forgiven? Mango, I wish to treat you wholeheartedly, but can you please stop doing such actions in the future? Even if we do everything together, at least I'm still by your side, I can manage danger in the shortest possible time. Just like today, if something really happened to you and I'm still unconscious, what am I suppose to do when I wake up and know that you're no longer around? Will a man like me still need a woman that sacrifices yourself to protect me? Are you telling me that I'm a coward and being incompetent? Also, am I giving you an image that I'll be indecisive due to family affection and turned out to be a so-called good person?"
Nathaniel was getting even more frustrated yet aggrieved as he spoke.
How dare she knocked me out?
She mentioned previously that it was the last time she would ever do so.
Who ever said that she would never knock him out again? Who uttered that they would face problems and solve it together in future?
That woman had taken the liberty and put herself in danger again and made him fell unconscious.
If it wasn't Mango who had done that to him at that time, he would have long stripped off that person's head.
Right at the moment, he barely suppressed the anger in his body. In order not to hurt Mango, he directly grabbed her arm and pushed her out of the operating room.
"I don't want to see you for the time being."
With a "Bang", Nathaniel slammed the door shut.
Mango knew that Nathaniel would be pissed off after he woke up, but little did she expect that he would be this frustrated.
Did she really do something wrong?
Would Zion not get injured if Nathaniel went up the mountain together with her?
Mango didn't know, but she was very upset.
She had her hands folded across her knees and squatted down at the door of the operating room. She didn't know when Nathaniel would come out, and when would Zion's surgery end. She was just like an abandoned child, gloomily and helplessly squatting.
Nathaniel's heart ached when he noticed Mango through the door gap.
His fingers clenched the door of the operating room, he didn't even know that his nails were broken. He only knew that his heart seemed to be torn apart while looking at the delicate figure outside. It was just as if sulfuric acid severely corroded his wound.
All of a sudden, Mango's shoulders slightly jiggled, and then she buried her head between her knees. It could be felt that she was overwhelmed by the sorrowful atmosphere.
Was she crying?
Nathaniel's heart ached badly.
He told himself not to be softhearted, he should have taught her a lesson but his hands and feet seemed to have their own consciousness. He directly opened the door of the operating room and walked towards Mango.
