The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 275

Zack saw the sincerity in Mango's gaze and he suddenly couldn’t look into her eyes any longer.

Right now, he felt ashamed in front of Mango.

Furthermore, Zack finally understood the kind of woman that Nathaniel fancied.

"You're actually very kind, Mango. If you weren’t Nathaniel's wife, perhaps I might not treat you like this.”

"If I weren't Nathaniel's wife, we wouldn’t have met at all. Mr. Yan, we know each other through Nathaniel and I'm sure you're very familiar with his personality. Perhaps if you've told him about your situation from the start, you would have been reunited with your family by now. However, you made the choice to distrust your best friend and comrade, and you're now his enemy. However, I do hope that you won't hurt him if I follow your wishes. Even though your betrayal has hurt him, it would be better if the two of you stopped fighting. Both of you were best friends and comrades who would have died for each other, so can you really bear to become his enemy?"

Mango' s words made Zack feel even more ashamed and he was unable to meet Mango’s gaze.

Then, he said coldly, "Let's go. Perhaps I may give you another chance."

"It's fine, I think it's better for me to face Nanny Zhang head- on instead of hiding from her. Furthermore, I really want to ask her what the hell she thinks I'm lacking as her daughter-in-law."

Mango was not scared at all.

On the other hand, Zack was puzzled and he looked at Mango with some confusion as he said, "Do you have a death wish? Don’t you know what Nanny Zhang is like? You should know better than anyone how cruel she is since she was the one who sold you overseas and nearly made you a

prostitute! You have no fighting skills and no weapons, so can you imagine the aftermath if you went to see her now? Nathaniel will go insane if something happened to you!"

"I reckon that you don’t completely hate Nathaniel since you're still concerned about his feelings. Mr. Yan, there's really no need for you to be worried about this."

Then, Mango unexpectedly let out a stunning grin at Zack. At that moment, he was flabbergasted but at the same time, Zack started to respect Mango greatly.

"Thank you."

However, Mango was not interested in Zack's gratitude. After they both reached an agreement, Mango entered the car that Zack had prepared earlier.

Meanwhile, Zion used his drone to observe Zack as he anxiously drove the car away.

"Mr. Ye, you'd better hurry over to the coordinates I just gave you because Mommy has been kidnapped by Mr. Yan."

Nathaniel felt very worried initially, but he suddenly felt a sense of calmness.

"What did Zack do to your Mommy?"

"Actually, nothing. I didn’t hear their conversation clearly, but they both spoke for a while and Mommy willingly got into the car before they drove away."

Zion couldn't fathom what his mother was thinking because she followed Mr. Yan. Could it be possible that she didn’t know his true identity?

However, that was impossible!

"Mr. Ye, you should hurry over there. What are you waiting for?"

"Shut up! I don't need you to tell me what to do."

Nathaniel cursed internally.

That little brat was the reason that Mango ran into Zack and Nathaniel wouldn't have pushed Mango away if that hadn’t happened!

Now, Zion still had the nerve to order Nathaniel around. If it wasn’t for the current situation, Nathaniel would have severely punished that little brat.

Then, Nathaniel realized he was becoming even more violent towards Zion.

Alas, there was no other way as his son was far too reckless.

On the other hand, Zion definitely heard Nathaniel gnashing his teeth in anger. Although Zion was worried, he still remained silent.

"Give me the coordinates. All you need to do now is to follow your mother with your drone."

Nathaniel's voice was much softer this time.

Then, Zion replied in the affirmative and then he quickly gave the coordinates to Nathaniel.

As Nathaniel watched the car drive along the road guided by the GPS, he suddenly remembered something.

"How’s Rita doing? Will she be okay without the surgery?"

After that, Zion replied softly, "Grandma managed to let Rita stay at the Ye Mansion for now and she said that the surgery will be performed after you get back. If you don’t return, then Rita will have to continue waiting but I don’t think she can last much longer. Daddy, what will happen to Rita if you and mommy don’ t come back in time? I can't accompany her now, so I’m afraid that...”

"Don't be afraid. I'll get home as soon as possible."

How was it possible for Nathaniel to not feel upset?

On one hand, his wife was in danger, and on the other, his daughter was in peril. Regardless of what happened, it was very difficult for Nathaniel to choose and he wanted to save both of them if he could. However, could he really abandon Mango here and go home alone to save Rita?

The answer was obviously no!

While Nathaniel was embroiled in his own worries, Mango was also rather anxious as well.

In fact, she had also thought of Rita.

Just then, her walkie-talkie crackled with sound.

Mango glanced at Zack and she asked softly.

"Can I answer this?"

"Is it Nathaniel?" “I don't know, it could be. You should know that if it weren’t for you, Nathan would already be back in Ocean City preparing for my daughter's surgery. My daughter has been unwell ever since she was born, so she’s stayed inside the hospital so often that she doesn't even know what the outside world looks like. She’s almost five years old, but all she knows is the number of rooms and doctors in the hospital. She had high hopes for five years, but her father can' t be home right now when he could finally donate a kidney to her. What's more, the doctor told me that Rita’s body can't hold on much longer.”

Mango didn’t intend to discuss this with Zack, but she was very worried about Rita.

Zack abruptly slammed on the brakes after he heard Mango’s words.

“You can answer the walkie-talkie. I can pretend that I didn't hear a thing because Nanny Zhang requirements were to bring you to her. It's not my responsibility to care if anyone was following you anyway.”

Mango looked at Zack.

In the end, this tough and resilient man couldn’t bear to be ruthless to a child.

Perhaps this was the reason Nathaniel had been friends with Zack all this time.

Actually, Zack was not a bad person, but unfortunately...

Mango didn’t say anything else before she turned on the walkie-talkie.

Then, she heard Edolie's voice from the receiver.

"You left your walkie-talkies behind, so I just wanted to let you know that I've escaped."

Mango was rather disappointed when she heard Edolie's voice.

Why wasn't it Nathaniel that called her?

Plus, why did Nathaniel leave his walkie- talkie behind?

Nevertheless, it seemed that they had both underestimated Edolie.

Mango had not expected that Edolie would be capable of stealing Nathaniel's walkie-talkie without them realizing it.

"All right. You should find a way to leave the island, but it’s a real mess out there so you take good care of yourself, okay? Furthermore, you should toss the walkie-talkie after you're done talking because it's useless to keep it anyways."Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Mango hadn't wanted to say these things, but she didn't know what else to say.

Edolie hesitated for a moment before she said, "I saw you that you were taken away by someone else. Do you need me to tell Nathaniel? The least I can do is to repay my debt to you so we won't owe each other anything from now on."

However, Mango smiled and said, "It's fine, he'll find me eventually. Nathaniel knows where I am even if you don't tell him."

Edolie was surprised at Mango's confidence, but she still asked softly, "Is there anything I can help you with? I don't want to owe you anything."

Tve already said that it's not unnecessary because you can't help me with my situation. I need someone that has RH negative blood type to donate a kidney to my daughter. If so, at least my daughter can live on if anything happens to me or Nathan. Alas, that's all wishful thinking. This is our farewell, Edolie, may we never meet again."

After that, Mango turned off the walkie-talkie and she disposed of it.

Since the walkie- talkie was not in Nathaniel's possession, there was no longer any point for Mango to hold on to it.

Meanwhile, Edolie looked at the walkie-talkie in her hand which transmitted radio noise. Obviously, Mango had hung up on her.

She frowned slightly but did not say anything else as she turned to leave this forsaken place.

Mango was right when she said that this place was far too dangerous for Edolie.

It hadn't been easy for Edolie to escape, so she would never let anyone else control her life ever again.

Then, Zack spoke to Mango softly when he saw her dejected expression. "Don’t worry, I’ve arranged for my men to be there and protect Rita if Nanny Zhang dares to hurt her."

"You..."

Mango’ s surprise was mixed with traces of disbelief.

Then, Zack hurriedly turned his head away as he said, "I only want to reunite with my family, not cause a massacre. The last thing I want is for an innocent young child to be sacrificed."

"Thank you, Zack."

Finally, Mango cracked a smile.

Right now, she chose to believe Zack.

If Zack could protect Rita, then that was enough.

After that, Mango pushed away all her worries and she smiled as she said, “Let's go. We have to hurry if you want to meet your family, as Nanny Zhang may be waiting impatiently for us."

"Aren’t you going to wait for Nathaniel? He might be following us.”

Zack hesitated as he looked at Mango, who was calm and relaxed.

Nevertheless, Mango smiled confidently.

"Nathaniel will never abandon me. Furthermore, I'm sure that he'll be able to find me no matter where I go. I think it’s time for me to settle our problems with Nanny Zhang.”

Mango had no fear nor worry when she said that because she was reassured as long as Nathaniel and Zion were around.

These two fine men were God's greatest gifts to her.

After that, Zack did not say anything else and he drove the car forwards at a very speed.

The area around them opened up into a large clearing and Mango began to recognize their location.

"Are we going to the cave?"

"Yes, that is Nanny Zhang's territory."

Zack did not hide anything from Mango.

Mango was already familiar with the terrain here, but she felt different about it as she returned to this place once more.

After Zack stopped the car, Mango got down from the car herself and she walked into the cave as Zack followed her.

Meanwhile, Sisi was at the door and she hurriedly went to inform Nanny Zhang when she spotted Zack and Mango's arrival.

Mango did not have much of a reaction and she said softly to Zack, "Remember, don't be in a rush to hand me over to Nanny Zhang. She has to hand over your family first, as I'm afraid that this old crone has more tricks up her sleeve."

Mango was not exaggerating as she was familiar with Nanny Zhang's character. Clearly, Nanny Zhang would not let Zack go so easily.
