Mango was pretty worried. She wondered if Desmond had woken up, was Zion doing fine, and if anything had happened to Haniya throughout the journey.
Nathaniel could tell that she was nervous. So he gently took her hand and whispered, "Don't worry. Since the things had come to this, let nature take its course."
"Alright."
Mango nodded.
In order to ease Mango's mood, Nathaniel took out his phone and found a casual game.
"Let's play for a while."
"What?"
Mango was speechless when she looked at the game. However, when she saw Nathaniel's expectant gaze, she still took it and started the first game.
Mango then gradually relaxed and Nathaniel smiled as well.
When they arrived at the dock, the venue had been cleared of people under the captain of the guard's orders.
Mango and Nathaniel got out of the car. The sea breeze was a little strong, so Nathaniel put a coat that he had prepared beforehand onto Mango.
Mango couldn't help but feel anxious when she saw that no ship had entered the port yet.
"Didn't they say they were coming? Why haven't they arrived yet?"
"Don't worry. They will come soon."
Nathaniel was also a little worried. There were too many variables on the sea, and he didn't know if Jameson could handle it well.
Just as the both of them waited eagerly, Walter, Deborah, and the rest of them finally entered the port.
This was the first time Mango had seen the Grey family's ship. It looked prestigious, and the ship had sails unique to the Grey family, which made people revere in awe.
"Mango."
Deborah came out from the ship first.
Deborah was wearing a formal attire that day, which made her look dashing and valiant.
Ever since the parasite in her body had been removed, her complexion turned for the better, and her temperament was bright. It seemed like the past Deborah had returned.
Mango also ran over happily.
When Walter came out of the boat and saw Nathaniel, he curled his lip in disdain. Then he followed Deborah to get off the boat.
"How's your body?"
Mango asked with some concern.
Deborah said with a smile, "I'm fine. My body feels as light as feather. I feel great."
"We can't take this lightly. I'll get Tristan to take a look at you after we return."
Mango seemed to regard Tristan as the family doctor, and he would have to take a look at anyone unwell. It was a question of how Tristan would feel if he were to find out about this.
Deborah said frankly, "Alright. Then I won't be polite about it. I was about to nurse my health as well, as I am planning to have a child with Walter."
"Really? That's great."
Mango was also happy for them.
She then looked behind Deborah and asked, "Is Uncle Jameson up there? Should I go and say hello?"
It turned out that everyone's love would not go smoothly.
Mango felt a little emotional, but she still followed Deborah onto the ship and carried Zion, who was still feeling dizzy, out of the ship.
The brat had lost all his energy and his face was a little yellow. He was still sleeping and he looked pitiful.
"I didn't expect this brat to be seasick, so it did scare us at the beginning. Good thing we had medicine onboard, so we gave him some pills. But the medicine only helped ease his seasickness, so he was sleeping until now. Get someone to take a look at him later so that he won't be dehydrated."
Deborah had experienced this before, so she knew that Zion was only seasick.
"All right."
As Mango carried her son down the boat, Walter and Deborah didn't follow behind her. Mango was slightly taken aback at this.
"Are you guys not coming with us so we could gather?"
Walter shook his head and said, "My father-in-law is not in good health. So we plan to go back and take care of him for a few days. You can have your fun here. When my father-in-law recovers, we will come to meet you again."
"What's wrong with Uncle Jameson? Is it Javion..."
As she thought of the Grey family's servants, Mango couldn't help but worry.
Deborah hastily explained, "No. It's my father's long-time sickness. As my dad has been sailing for many years, he has severe rheumatoid arthritis. Now, his symptoms have been acting up again, and his whole body is in immense pain. We heard of a famous doctor in a nearby country, well-known for his treatment with rheumatism, so we plan to bring my dad to see him. If not for Desmond and the others were on board, we would have stopped there immediately."
Deborah had nothing to hide from Mango.
Upon hearing their words, Mango found it hard to persuade them to stay. She could only instruct them to be careful along the way.
Walter and Deborah nodded and agreed, and then they turned the bow and set sail.
Mango suddenly felt a little sad. She knew that everyone would have their own world after getting married, and there would be people they would be worried about. But was Jameson really suffering from rheumatism? If it were the case, was it a coincidence that there was such a doctor in the nearby country?
