The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 208

It was simply a bit strange that so many people would suddenly appear at this time of night. Additionally, the main thing was that there were people who were actively arguing. Even though they were far from them, Mango and Nathaniel could still hear their voices.

However, the voices sounded familiar.

Then, Mango whispered, "Why does that sound like Mr. Malthus's voice?"

"Mr. Malthus? Merle from the Fallen Paradise?"

"It seems like it."

Nevertheless, Mango was not sure.

She was dizzy, and she could not hear very well. Thus, she was afraid that she had misheard it.

However, Nathaniel did not care and he walked over with Mango on his back.

Before he arrived in front of the people, a person suddenly appeared, which startled Mango. Then, Nathaniel's gaze became cold.

"Who are you?"

"Miss Shen, Mr. Malthus asked me to come and get you out of here."

The person who spoke was George.

Thus, Mango was surprised. However, she still told Nathaniel about George's identity. Nevertheless, Nathaniel did not relax and he followed George.

There was already a car prepared for them, and George handed Nathaniel the keys. Then, he said in a low voice, "You should leave while no one has noticed you yet."

"Did Merle send you here?"

Next, Mango asked softly.

"Yes, he did."

George nodded quickly in reply.

"What's all the fuss up ahead?"

"A female guest of Mr. Malthus had been harassed here, and they're currently arguing about that. It has drawn a lot of attention, so you two better leave while you can."

George said a few words, then he turned around and he left.

Hence, Nathaniel did not delay. Next, he started the car and he sped down the mountain with Mango.

The people at the foot of the mountain seemed to have been cleared out, and there was no one there at all.

Thus, Nathaniel did not pay attention to anything else and he quickly stepped on the gas pedal as he drove away.

However, Mango started to have a fever after she entered the car.

She felt very uncomfortable, and her hands involuntarily grabbed the lower hem of Nathaniel's clothes. Thus, Nathaniel knew that she felt insecure and he allowed her to keep holding on to his shirt.

The car avoided everyone and Nathaniel drove directly back to the hospital.

When the car stopped, Mango had already fainted.

At this time, her whole body was burning hot.

Nathaniel did not dawdle and he went straight to the emergency room with Mango in his arms.

Then, the doctor quickly began to treat Mango.

Madam Ye saw them come back and then go into the emergency room, so she quickly followed them.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Nathaniel's entire body was dirty, and there was blood on him. Hence, Madam Ye was so scared that her face turned pale. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

"It's okay. The blood belongs to Mango because she just got her period. Plus, she might have gotten a fever due to her body is being so weak."

"How did this happen?"

Thus, Madam Ye felt guilty.

Nathaniel whispered, "Mom, there was an incident today. Someone followed her after she left the Fallen Paradise. Thomas took her to the Dylan's house and we left through the back door, but then we found a tracker on Mango. So, we were nearly intercepted on the mountain."

"What?"

Madam Ye was surprised at this.

"No regular person would be able to do this to Mango at the Fallen Paradise. I'll have Merle to check it out."

"Merle is probably still on the mountain."

Then, Nathaniel told Madam Ye that Merle had come to help them.

Madam Ye replied, "You don't have to doubt Merle. There's a precise tracking system in the ring that I gave Mango. If anything happened, Merle would be the first to know and he would send help. It's different from the tracker you found on her."

Thus, Nathaniel breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the old lady's words.

As long as the traitor was not one of their people, Nathaniel was fine with that.

"I'll get someone to check it out. Where's Thomas?"

"I asked him to stay at Dylan's house to distract the enemy, but they did not take the bait."

Just then, Thomas called them.

"Mr. Ye, I've followed the people who were following us earlier and they went to the Tang family's mansion."

Nathaniel's gaze became cold after he heard Thomas' words.

"So, it really was the Tang family!"

Apparently, Nathaniel had underestimated Abyss!

Previously, he always assumed that Abyss was nothing but a rich businessman, but now it seemed that maybe everyone didn't understand Abyss properly. Hence, Nathaniel's eyes were frigid.

The conflict between him and Abyss was getting bigger and deeper.

When Madam Ye heard about the Tang family, she knew what was going on.

She whispered, "I'll stay and take care of Mango. The children are all asleep, so you should rest as well. You've not gotten much sleep these few days, and that's bad for you."

"It's okay. Mom, I can take it. As for you, your health is not as good as it was before. You'd better rest early too."

Hence, Nathaniel did not mention her medical report at all. It was as if he had completely forgotten about it.

Thus, Madam Ye nodded and she went back to her room as she was afraid that he would ask further.

Looking at Madam Ye, Nathaniel's eyes glinted.

Earlier, he had gone to ask the doctor for her medical report, but the doctor told him that Mango had taken it. It was then that Nathaniel understood what had happened.

Madam Ye did not want Nathaniel to find out about her illness.

However, the doctor had told him everything after he asked the doctor.

As for Nanny Zhang, Nathaniel did not feel any love or appreciation for her.

Truly, she would betray her own conscience just for the sake of power and money. However, the woman that Nanny Zhang had been trying to kill was doing everything for Nathaniel. She loved him and she was afraid that she would make things difficult for him.

What else did he have to say about a mother like this?

Thus, he had asked the doctor if there were any treatment plans. However, the doctor shook his head and he said that the old lady's life span was at most several months more.

Hence, Nathaniel was upset, but he did not show it for fear that Madam Ye would be sad after she found out.

Now that he saw that she was avoiding discussing her illness, Nathaniel sighed softly and he felt powerless.

No matter how powerful or rich someone was, no one could escape from the reality to encounter death.

Thus, he could not help but glance at the emergency room.

Mango's health was so poor now, and he did not know if it would improve. Now that she had caught a cold during her period, he wasn't sure if it would continue to affect her health.

As time went by, Nathaniel grew worried.

Finally, the door of the emergency room opened. As Mango was discharged, her face was as pale as snow.

"Doctor, is she all right?"

"She's fine, it's just a cold. However, her body is very weak. After this, I'm afraid that she might catch a cold every time she has her period. From now on, she has to take care of herself well."

The doctor's words made Nathaniel's heartache.

"All right."

Then, he pushed Mango back to the ward.

Before that, Mango had already been cleaned up by the nurse.

Nathaniel looked at her sleeping face and he sighed. In the end, he got on the bed and he held her in her arms.

Later during the middle of the night, Mango's high fever recurred.

Thus, she began to ramble nonsensically.

"No, no! I'm not gonna drink! Leave me alone!"

"Nathan, save me! Nathaniel, where are you?"

Mango was crying and she shouted. Hence, it was as if she had gone insane.

Then, Nathaniel hugged her tightly and he said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid. I'm here."

At first, Mango did not listen to him at all. She grabbed and she bit him. Later, she eventually became quiet and she fell asleep in Nathaniel's arms. However, her tears did not dry up.

Hence, Nathaniel knew that she might still have some trauma.

Whether it was the fire incident five years ago or the kidnapping and trafficking five years later, they were all painful memories for Mango. This was the United States and not Ocean City. Thus, Nathaniel felt like taking Mango back to the country.

However, he knew that he could not leave now.

If he could not deal with the problem of Abyss, Mango would still live in darkness.

In the past, he thought that Abyss had feelings for Mango. But judging from Abyss' actions, this man might not have good intentions despite how well he treated her before.

Then, Nathaniel hugged Mango. Gradually, her eyelids became heavy and then she fell back asleep.

When the sun rose the next day, Mango opened her eyes and she saw Nathaniel lying next to her. Thus, she suddenly felt a little confused.

Visions of last night flashed through her mind and she remembered what had happened.

"It seemed that we escaped danger and then we came back to the hospital?" she thought to herself.

However, Mango did not move because she was afraid of waking Nathaniel up.

Over the past few days, Nathaniel did not rest well. Thus, Mango could not bear to wake him up as she saw him sleeping deeply like a child.

In fact, Nathaniel had woken up when he noticed that someone was staring at him. However when he heard Mango's distressed sigh, he pretended to be asleep.

Mango gently raised her hand and she traced Nathaniel's eyebrows with her finger. Truly, he was very good-looking.

Even after so many years, Mango found that he grew more and more handsome.

Hence, Nathaniel could not help but roll over and he pinned Mango under him. He could not resist the looks and caresses from the woman he loved.

"Do you like what you see, Mrs. Ye?"

Thus, Mango was startled when Nathaniel suddenly woke up. However, she gave him a coquettish look and she said, "You're teasing me again."

"Who was the one that started it?"

Nevertheless, Nathaniel was speechless at Mango's ability to flip the situation around. However, he gently poked her nose and then he kissed her.

Initially, Mango wanted to dodge him, but Nathaniel had penetrated her emotion gradually.

In the end, Mango was no match for Nathaniel. Thus, she yielded to his relentless attack.

It was a good morning kiss that aroused both of them, but unfortunately, Mango had her period.

Thus, Mango said coyly, "Get up. I need to go to the bathroom."

"Let's go together?"

Then, Nathaniel teased her. Mango felt that the heat rise on her face again.

"No way."

After that, she pushed Nathaniel away and she quickly got out of bed before she rushed to the bathroom. Thus, Nathaniel was amused that Mango ran as if she was being chased. Then, he lifted the blanket, only to find that Mango had wet the bedsheet.

The bright red color was rather dazzling.

Nevertheless, Nathaniel removed the bedsheet and he took it out to the balcony to clean it.

Mango had already noticed what she did before she left the bathroom, and she wanted to wash the sheets before Nathaniel noticed. Alas, she did not expect that he had washed the sheets and he currently hung it up to dry.

Thus, she felt so embarrassed.

This feeling was strange. This man could always touch her and bring warmth to her.
