Meanwhile, Lebanon was stunned as he did not expect Prissy to ask this question.
Was this a weird request?
However, he couldn't blame her for thinking this way.
Right now, Henry was on the verge of death, but he didn't want to die just like that. Hence, Lebanon tried his best to save his life for the sake of Mango. However, he wasn't sure how long Henry would last.
"Well, we'll leave his fate to God."
"Great! Here, come with me."
Prissy brought Lebanon and Henry to the guest room after that.
Once they had settled Henry down, Prissy whispered, "It's time for you to leave this place. You've been here for too long, and others might be suspicious."
"All right."
Lebanon nodded and left after seeing that Prissy had accepted Henry. Before leaving, he said, "I couldn't find a suitable doctor to treat him. Prissy, will you..."
"I'll think of a way to settle this. Go ahead."
Prissy was somewhat responsible.
After Lebanon left, Prissy called Maya and ordered her to contact her personal doctor.
"Please try your best to treat him."
"Alright, Your Highness."
After the doctor went in, Prissy stepped out. She wasn't interested in a man whom she was not familiar with. Moreover, Henry was someone who had been beaten up until he was completely not recognisable anymore.
Once she had come out of the room, Prissy made a gesture, and soon a figure flashed away from the palace.
Suddenly, Kash arrived in front of Prissy.
"Your Highness, were you looking for me?"
"Find out the name and identity of the guard who has offended Bernard recently."
Kash was slightly stunned and then said, "I know about this matter. The bodyguard's name is Henry. It seems that Bernard brought him back from abroad, and I heard that he was originally from Mr. Yes company. Later, he was punished and exiled by Mr. Ye because he offended Mango. Later, he met Bernard. Also, I heard that his biological sister died because of Mango. However, he failed to seek revenge when he planned to assassinate Mango by chance. Thus, Mr. Ye broke his limbs and abandoned him. Then, Bernard brought him and made him one of his comrades. However, Bernard suspects that Henry was the one who had leaked some information that had almost caused his death!"
Prissy was slightly stunned when she heard this.
Was Henry one of Nathaniel's men?
Also, he even had a grudge against Mango?
This meant that Henry was the pawn that needed the most right now!
However, it seemed that Henry wasn't really dismissed from his job. Furthermore, Nathaniel had only broken Henry's limbs to deceive their enemies.
Right now, multiple thoughts were running through her head.
"Is the information that has been leaked related to Mr. Ye."
"Yes, you're right."
Prissy felt more confident of her speculation after she had heard Kash'e reply.
But how did Mr. Ye's men get involved with Lebanon?
However, she understood the situation when she remembered Mango's identity.
Lebanon was Nathaniel's brother- in- law, so he would care about the latter's matters.
At this thought, Prissy snorted coldly and said in a low voice, "I'm sure that the news of Henry coming to my place has probably already spread. Be cautious and report to me instantly if anything happens."
"Noted."
Then, Kash went out after answering Prissy.
Prissy would never have thought that Henry was actually one of Mango's subordinates. Back then, Nathaniel had shouldered all the responsibilities, so the public didn't know that Mango and Henry's relationship. Thus, they wouldn't know that Mango would have set up a new Dark Night Empire as well.
While Prissy had her own troubles to face, Mango was sleeping soundly in the hotel.
After ending the call with Priscilla, Nathaniel returned to the room. He saw Mango's sleeping face and couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth welling up in his heart.
At this thought, he climbed into the bed and crawled under the blanket. Then, he hugged Mango and fell asleep soundly.
Even the cold weather could not stop him from expressing his love to his wife. After all, his children and wife were the ray of sunshine that could keep him warm.
A moment later, Mango smiled as she woke up and saw that Nathaniel was still asleep. She stretched out her hands towards his body, but Nathaniel immediately grabbed hold of her.
"You're so naughty once you wake up. What's wrong? Do you want more?"
Mango's face immediately turned red when she heard this.
"Urgh! You're such a pervert!"
However, Nathaniel gave her a seductive smile.
"How can I satisfy you if I'm not a pervert? Hmm?"
"Argh! Get out of my way!"
Mango felt that Nathaniel was becoming more shameless and blatant.
After that, she got up and went to take a shower. When she came out, Nathaniel had already prepared clothes for her.
Then, Mango put on her sweater and looked at the blizzard outside before saying, "Well, I guess we can't do anything in this weather."
"Hmm, I think that we still can do something, like exercising on the bed." "Nathaniel! What's up with you these days?"
Mango was completely speechless right now.
However, Nathaniel said with a smile, "Well, we really can't do anything else other than this during this weather."
Judging from his expression, he was definitely hiding something from her.
Mango was very frustrated, but she still refused to give up.
"Nathan, you have to give me a reason."
"Well, I found out that this place is more dangerous than I thought. I'm afraid that I can't protect you. Mango, you're the most important person to me. I'm fine with failing this mission, but
I can't allow anything to happen to you."
This was the truth.
He originally thought that Priscilla would be their biggest support and protector. However, it appeared that her feelings for him could threaten Mango's safety. That was why he had no choice but to take precautions against her.
He had never thought that he would be on guard against Priscilla, who was once his closest friend. However, he was worried about Mango.
On the other hand, Nathaniel didn't know if he should tell Mango about the past between him and Priscilla.
After all, Mango would definitely be jealous. Furthermore, Priscilla was once the woman he wanted to marry. How would Mango handle this news?
Nathaniel didn't know the answer to this question, so he didn't want to risk anything.
The more he cherished someone, the more careful he was. Now, he finally understood why he had done this all along.
Meanwhile, Mango was clueless. Upon hearing his words, she couldn't help but smile and hold his hand.
"Don't worry, I'm not that weak. Even if I can't help you, I can at least protect myself. Also, don't forget my people are still here."
Nathaniel felt ever more heartbroken when he saw Mango's smile.
Her men?
Was she talking about Henry Zhang?
He was afraid that Bernard had already noticed that Henry was a spy after the information was leaked last time. Furthermore, he didn't know whether Henry was still alive right now.
However, Nathaniel didn't tell Mango about this. After all, she would still have hope as long as she didn't see Henry, so he didn't want to disappoint her.
At this moment, Nathaniel's phone rang. But, he hesitated when he saw that Priscilla was the one who was calling him.
"Why don't you answer the phone?"
Mango was a little curious, so she stepped forward and noticed that it was a call from Priscilla. She instantly smiled and asked, "Does Priscilla have something to tell us? Hurry up and answer it! Maybe they'll be some good news!"
Nathaniel couldn't help but feel guilty when he saw Mango's innocent expression. Although he hadn't done anything to hurt her, he still felt especially distressed.
"Well, even if there is good news, we still can't go out because of the weather. So it doesn't matter whether we pick up the phone or not, right?"
"What? You can't say that! Oh, I don't know what you're dawdling about. Are you afraid that I'll misunderstand you and Priscilla? You guys have been friends for so many years. If there's really something between you guys, I will definitely know about it, right? Hah! I'm not such a petty person!"
After that, Mango helped him to answer the call and turned on the speaker before Nathaniel could stop her. Then, he sighed helplessly and wondered what he should do with his innocent wife.
Did she even know what she was saying? Urgh! Also, did she even know what she was putting herself into?
