"The hug hurt Mango a little bit, but she did not stop Nathaniel. "
She could see that he was particularly fragile right now.
"Mango had always thought that he was omnipotent, but now only did she realize that he looked like a child starved of a mother's love when he was helpless."
"However, it was different from what she felt for Zion as there were also romantic feelings in the mix. "
"As I said, I won't let you suffer anymore, but it seems to me like you hurt more after you married me than before. I'm useless as I couldn't protect you. I can't imagine what I'd do if I came home and saw you lying on that hospital bed. If I can't protect my wife, am I even a man?"

"He always felt that a man should endure everything, but Nathaniel realized that his experience paled in comparison with Mango's when he found out what happened. "
His incompetence had caused danger to his loved ones.
