"H... have some water, Madam!"
Mango pushed the cup of water he handed over away.
She could feel that her throat was burning because of the medicine.
Mango held on to her neck. She couldn't help but twitch out of pain.
The servant beside couldn't bear to witness this so he walked out of the door.
Madam Ye smiled in satisfaction when she saw Mango in such a state.
"Go get a boat ready, I want them out of the mansion by the next morning."
"Them?"
The subordinate was somewhat puzzled.
Madam Ye then said, "Rita will leave with her. What' s the point of keeping such a useless girl? Wait, keep her. I can make her useful, as she can be married off to someone else. How is Wisdom now?"
"Dr. Bay told Mrs. Ye that Sir Wisdom has isolated himself from the outside world now."
"What a useless boy! But you can't blame him for behaving like a coward. Just look at his mother, what a b*tch. He won't be useful in the future, so let Mango bring him with her. Consider it as a chance for her to make amends."
"Make amends?"
The men were even more puzzled.
Madam Ye then explained, "Wisdom is Nick's son, and Mango is Mateo's niece. What is wrong with her raising Wisdom for Nick?"
The men beside lowered their heads.
They all knew that it was an excuse. She just wanted to kick him out because she thought that he was useless.
Between a mute and an autistic, it was crystal clear that they wouldn't end well.
Truth be told, they all felt pity for Mango.
"Madam, I think you should let Sir Wisdom stay. After all, he is the eldest grandson of the Ye Family."
"Since when do you have a say in my decision?"
Madam Ye didn't like it when people disobeyed her.
The one who spoke immediately shut his mouth.
Madam Ye snorted coldly and said, "Nathaniel will never fall out with Mango. Now that Madam Hans is dead, Nathaniel must feel extremely guilty towards her. All he knows is that Mango is his wife, and he should make her happy. Does he still remember that his brother did not die peacefully? Nathaniel will only start hating Mango only by thinking that she purposely took Wisdom away because she hates him for Madam Hans' death. Do you understand now?"
"Yes, Ma’am."
There was a hint of sympathy for Mango in their eyes but they didn’t say anything else.
They just considered it as Mango's misfortune to have met with such a ruthless mother-in-law. It was a pity that she didn't notice it in advance.
Meanwhile, Mango felt like she was going to die soon. Her body temperature was rising and dropping like a roller coaster.
She hugged herself tightly.
Madam Hans's face kept popping up in her mind.
She remembered how badly Madam Hans had misunderstood her. She even drove her out of the Hans family for an outsider, but in the end, Madam Hans gave up her own life for her happiness and freedom.
A tear rolled down her cheeks.
She cried her heart out that day.
How badly she wished that all of this never happened. How badly she wished that she was still in school, where all she wanted was to peek at Nathaniel from far away.
Perhaps, if she had not married Nathaniel, all of this would not have happened.
Her life would be boring, but it would not be so painful.
Did she regret it now?
No.
She didn't regret falling in love with Nathaniel!
She just regretted losing herself in love and not noticing that danger was approaching. She regretted that she trusted others easily.
She was too weak to even protect herself and her family
Mango cried herself to sleep and woke up just to cry again. This cycle repeated itself over and over.
She felt like she had been in the basement forever until the door was opened.
She was then carried out.
She opened her eyes and saw Madam Ye covering her nose in disgust.
"She smells like a dead fish, get her out of the mansion now!"
What else could she do?
She was helpless.
Her arms were too weak to move, she had no strength at all because she had a fever. Her throat was burning and she couldn't say a word.
Oh, right!
She was mute now.
From today onwards, she was a mute.
Who would want someone who couldn't speak as a wife?
A bitter smile appeared on Mango's face.
Madam Ye couldn't bear to take another look at her. She asked with annoyance, "Where's Wisdom?"
"Miss Rita has just fallen asleep, so we will bring him down now."
Mango became nervous when she heard her daughter’s name.
Rita!
Rita Shen!
Her baby!
She was not going to leave her baby with this monster!
She looked at Madam Ye and wanted to say something, but her throat hurt so bad.
Madam Ye seemed to know what she was going to say. She smirked and said, "Rita is my granddaughter. I will not allow her to leave and suffer with you. Since you love Wisdom so much, I’ m generous enough to give you a chance to make amends to the Ye Family. Hence, I'm allowing you to take him."
Before she was able to do anything, the man who sent the medicine to Mango hurried up and knocked Mango down.
Only then did Madam Ye free her wrist.
There were two rows of teeth marks on her wrist, and blood oozed out of them.
It would definitely leave a scar.
"D*mn it! You b*tch!"
Madam Ye was so angry that she randomly picked up anything near her and smashed it on Mango.
Furthermore, no one dared to stop her.
Madam Ye had picked up a clothes rack. When it smashed onto Mango's body, it broke right away due to the strength which Madam Ye threw it. However, Madam Ye was still not satisfied. She picked up the broken clothes rack and beat Mango a few times until she had no strength left.
Meanwhile, Mango was lying on the ground with blood covering her body.
It was at this moment that Wisdom was brought down.
He was stunned at the moment he saw Mango covered in blood and passed out on the ground. He pushed everyone away and ran straight towards her. He stretched out his arms and stood in front of Mango to protect her.
Wisdom has a pair of clear, piercing eyes as he looked directly into Madam Ye's. The stare was what made Madam Ye stop because she just couldn't bear to hurt Wisdom!
"Get out of my way! I'm the one who loves you the most. I'm your grandmother! You ungrateful b*stard!"
Madam Ye was so angry that she trembled uncontrollably.
Wisdom didn't say a word nor did he move an inch. He just stood firmly in front of Mango.
The more she looked at him, the more uncomfortable she felt. It was as if Nick was looking at her.
In the past, Nick had looked at her in this way, with such trust and respect.
Honestly, that made Madam Ye feel sad.
She threw the clothes rack away before she turned around. She then said coldly, "Since you like her so much, get out of here with her. From now on, you are no longer the grandson of the Ye Family. This is your choice! Now get them out of my house!"
The men around her were still somewhat hesitant.
"Madam, Mrs. Ye has passed out, and Sir Wisdom is still a child. Shouldn't we..."
"Shouldn't we what?"
They knew they couldn't disobey Madam Ye, especially when she was angry.
The man who spoke quickly shut his mouth before he caused trouble for himself.
Wisdom seemed to have understood what they were talking about. He bowed deeply to Madam Ye before turning around and grabbing Mango's hand. His actions made everyone's hearts ache.
He was comforting Mango.
He didn't speak at all, but he was using his actions to express himself. Alas, Mango was comatose and she had no idea what was happening.
"Get out now!"
Jealousy raged in Madam Ye's heart when she saw Wisdom acting like this.
She definitely wouldn't allow Zion to rely on Mango like this!
Never!
