Haniya had already woken up when Noah arrived. She looked at Nanny Liu in front of her without saying a word, but her gaze made Nanny Liu's heart ache.
"Miss, how do you feel? Are you in pain? Hold on, Noah will come soon."
Haniya was upset when she saw the heartache in Nanny Liu's eyes.
She thought of Lydia.
She was so excited when she first learned of her identity, but Diego's words had driven her into hopelessness.
Diego's attitude towards her couldn't be fathomed. She doubted her existence because of his expression of disgust and hatred towards her.
What was wrong with her?
Did all girls deserve to die?
What generation were they living in? Why shouldn't she have the right to live just because she couldn't take on the role of the heir? Was this a valid reason to be rejected by her parents?
She thought that her mother was also like this initially, but Lydia's words made her understand a
lot.
In fact, Haniya had given up on her life and she had lost all hope from the moment when Diego told her her identity.
Since he was the one who gave her life, she wanted to give it back to him by dying.
She didn't care about her life!
What was the point in being alive when she was rejected by her parents?
Haniya didn't realize how stupid she was until she heard Lydia and Kingston's words.
Why would she want to die?
Even if no one did not love or dote on her, she still had Desmond and Mango.
Her parents were not the only ones in her life.
They weren't in her life over the past 20 years, so what right did they have to decide whether she lived or died?
When Lydia said that it might be the last time they met, Haniya wanted to open her eyes to see her mother.
Haniya felt even more confused when she was accompanied by Nanny Liu, who had been by Lydia's side all this while, and she didn't know what to say.
Haniya got rid of her embarrassment when Noah
arrived.
"Doctor Noah."
Haniya's voice was hoarse, so Nanny Liu hurried to get some water.
Noah quickly said, "Take care of your throat and don't talk if you can't. You're very weak now so you have to rest. Mango is coming soon and she will be sad to see you like this."
Haniya was slightly stunned and her eyes suddenly became a little hot.
Was Mango coming?
Haniya nodded and felt exhausted, so she closed her eyes again.
Nanny Liu felt a little awkward as she was holding a cup of water by the side, and she didn't know whether she should wake Haniya up or not.
Haniya opened her eyes as if she had read Nanny Liu's mind and reached out to take the cup.
"Thank you."
Nanny Liu's eyes were filled with tears.
Haniya was indeed different from Hattie.
Hattie had been arrogant since she was a child and she didn't care about anyone at all. Although they were both sisters, Haniya looked like a kind person.
Noah checked Haniya's body and made changes to her medical data. He then told Haniya to rest more before he went out.
Carlson had been busy after Lydia made her report.
Haniya opened her eyes after Noah left. She looked at Nanny Liu and asked in a low voice, "Where did she go? Will she come tomorrow?"
Nanny Liu didn't know who Haniya was referring to at first. But when she saw the flash of desire in Haniya's eyes, she couldn't help but understand.
Nanny Liu looked a little sad when she thought of Lydia.
Mango's eyes suddenly widened. Just as he was about to talk about Dennis, Wisdom and Zion woke up from their stupor when they heard the noise.
"Mommy!"
"Mommy!"
The two young and tender voices slightly surprised Mango. She turned her head and saw Wisdom and Zion poking their heads out from the back seat of the car. It was obvious that they had just woken up.
She looked at Dennis and said in a low voice, "Why did you bring them out? They should be in bed at this time."
"Weren't they sleeping in the backseat? They insisted on coming to pick you up and I couldn't do anything about it."
Dennis said with a doting face.
Mango had no time to talk to Dennis. After getting in the car, she started to lecture her two sons.
"Why aren't you bed when it's so late?"
"Mommy, look at Lucas."
Zion quickly moved out of the way. Mango saw Lucas, who was sleeping behind him.
Mango's eyes suddenly became teary.
Her youngest son had lost weight.
She didn't need to ask about how much he had suffered. At this moment, she felt very uncomfortable as she stepped forward and picked up Lucas. She felt as though she had regained something that she had lost and it made her choke up.
Wisdom whispered, "Mommy, Lucas is fine. He just lost too much blood and needs to rest. Grandpa saved him."
Mango turned around to look at Dennis when she heard this, who just happened to walk over.
Mango whispered, "Thank you, Dad."
"Silly girl."
Dennis stroked Mango's head as a trace of tenderness flashed across his heart. Could his life be filled with warmth in the future as well?
A car drove straight towards them at high speed just as he was pondering.
