The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1016

Mango let out a sigh at this thought.

She was getting annoyed because all these incidents were piling up.

How she wished she could leave behind everything and spend some time with Nathaniel alone!

"Is Henry still there?"

"Yeah, he's over here, but he's in charge of escorting Laney. I've heard from Ned that a helicopter has been arranged to send off Laney later at night."

Carmel reported dutifully.

Then, Mango replied in a low voice, "Tell Henry to board the plane together to Angolla. Since Lebanon gave us a few visas, he can bring along several men there and contact Nathaniel's men in Angolla. After all, I don't want anything to happen halfway during the handover, and we can't allow anyone to abduct Laney halfway."

"Okay, let me arrange it then."

Then, Carmel left the room, so Mango stood up and went upstairs.

After all, Mango knew that things would get busy around dinnertime tonight.

She got herself changed and gave a call to Lebanon personally. After all, she needed to tell him that it would be better for his subordinates to disguise themselves as Nathaniel's men if they wanted to take Laney away.

Lebanon agreed to her plans as well.

After completed all those arrangements, Mango decided to rest before she went to pick up Gisella personally.

She would definitely not let go of that b*tch!

Just then, Mango's phone rang.

She took a glance and realized that Wisdom wanted to video call her.

Mango quickly tidied up herself and swiped the answer button.

"Wisdom!"

"Mommy!"

Wisdom was more tanned than before, but he looked healthier, and he was showing no signs of autism.

Thus, Mango felt relieved when she looked at him.

"How are you doing? Where are you now? Your face looked too tanned!"

Mango's heart ached when she saw him.

However, Wisdom smiled and said, "I'm following Bettany to Swovenia now."

"Huh? Swovenia?"

Mango was startled when she heard this country.

"Why are both of you going there?"

"Bettany had said that the medical equipment here is not advanced enough. Thus, she wants to volunteer and help the patients in Swovenia. Moreover, the illnesses over there are more complex, so I will learn as well."

Wisdom wasn't fond of medicine at the beginning. However, he soon realized that it was good for him to study medicine. After all, he had seen the miseries that people were going through when he had followed Bettany around.

"Mommy, I've heard that daddy is suffering from neuralgia again, right?"

Mango was slightly stunned to hear this question.

She had kept this matter a secret, and only a few people know about it. However, Wisdom had known it at that moment which indicated that Bettany had always kept an eye on her.

Perhaps Bettany had done so for Wisdom, or maybe she had other reasons. Anyway, Mango didn't want to think too much about it. After all, everyone had their own past, so she understood that they all needed enough strength to protect

themselves.

Thus, she smiled and asked, "Did you hear that from Bettany?"

"Well, yeah. She had said that daddy's neuralgia is complex, and it's not easy to cure. However, she did mention that there is a book named Hikasa Manual in the ancestral temple of Longford County that might contain a prescription to treat daddy's nerve pain. Mommy, send someone to look for it. I bet that Uncle Noah may have a solution after reading it."

Mango immediately felt excited when she heard what Wisdom had said.

She vaguely recalled that Nanny Zhang had mentioned that before, but they didn't manage to find that book when they renovated the ancestral temple. "Well, we couldn't find the book there."

"How could it be? Bettany said that it should be there!"

Wisdom looked somewhat confused when he said this.

Obviously, he was a young child. So, he couldn't understand why the book was missing because his teacher had told him that it was there.

When Mango noticed his confused face, she couldn't help feel distressed, "I'll think of another way to find it again. Don't be too hard on yourself. Come back if you miss home." "Okay, Mommy. I'll bring you some souvenirs from Swonevia too!"

"Haha! Will you bring me some refugees from Swonevia?"

Mango was just kidding, but she didn't expect Wisdom to really bring a Swovenia refugee when he came back. Of course, this only happened way later.

Then, the two of them chatted for a while before ending the video call.

When she returned this time, she had met Zion and even had a video call with Wisdom. Thus, this meant that the only person she hadn't seen till today was Rita. Suddenly, Mango was really looking forward to calling Rita.

At this thought, she quickly gave a call to Rita, but no one answered her call.

Mango dialled Rita's number four times continuously, but no one picked up the call. Thus, she couldn't help but feel perturbed.

Rita had only gone to the wilderness to sketch some portraits, so she must have brought her phone also, right?

Could it be that something had happened to Rita?

When Mango thought about this possibility, she became uneasy.

She certainly did not want this thought to come true.

Mango gave a call to Rita's teacher once again, but she soon realised that Rita and her teacher were at a place with no signal.

Then, she became grouchy right after she couldn't get in touch with Rita.

"Ms. Sun, the ex- commander asked you to go down for dinner."

Suddenly, Toby's voice came from outside.

How could Mango still have the appetite to eat right now?

"I'm going to eat, so don't wait for me."

After saying that, Mango picked up her jacket and went out of the house quickly. Meanwhile, Carmel drove the car over immediately when she saw that Mango was going out. "Madam, where are we going?"

"Go to Firefly Krista Kindergarten."

Right at the moment, Mango wished that she could fly over there within seconds.

Carmel was quite familiar with the road, so she found some shortcuts and drove the car to the gate of Firefly Krista Kindergarten quickly.

After getting off the car, Mango immediately went to the deputy's office.

"Dean, I'm Rita's mother. My daughter went out to sketch, so why can't I get in touch with her now? Where did they go? Can you give me a detailed address?"

Mango revealed her identity immediately and began questioning the dean.

The deputy dean stood up immediately and said, "Mrs. Ye, don't worry. I will contact them. Besides, they only went to a place that's not far from here to sketch. If you miss her, I can arrange a car to pick her up. She will be back soon."

"It's alright. Just give me the address, and I'll pick her up in person. Can you talk to their teacher?"

Mango usually wouldn't use her authority to get special privileges. However, the Ye family was going through some critical times, so she was worried that Rita would be in danger.

When the dean saw Mango's upset expression, he quickly gave the address of the location to Mango.

Then, both Mango and Carmel immediately went to the site where Rita went for sketching.

It was a park which was just dozens of kilometers away from the urban city.

Meanwhile, Mango looked very anxious as she walked.

So, Carmel glanced at her and asked, "Madam, did something happen to Miss Ye?"

"I don't know, so I'm so worried right now! Bernard can do whatever he wants because he's not locked up. Even though I've tried to keep the news about me capturing Laney a secret, I think Bernard will know i sooner or later. Thus, I'm afraid that he may threaten me with Rita so that I would let Laney go. Oh, God! I don't know what the consequences would be if that happened. I would have felt a bit more relieved if Rita answered my call. However, I feel uneasy now because both she and her teacher ignored my calls!"

While Mango was speaking, she called Rita for few more times, but she still could not reach Rita.

Thus, her expression became more upset.

On the other hand, Carmel knew how much Mango treasured her children, so she began to drove quicker.

Once the car reached its destination, Mango immediately looked for the group leader.

"Ms. Ting, I'm Rita's mother. I'm here to take my daughter home. I'm really sorry, I think we have to finish up the sketching here."

Mango said apologetically.

Suzy was clearly astonished by Mango's arrival, but she said rather gloomily, "Hello, Rita's mother. I was about to call you too. Rita was..."

"What's wrong with my daughter? Did someone come to look for her? Or did something else happen to her?"

Mango's heart skipped a bit when she asked this.

However, Suzy shook her head and said, "Nah, nothing like that happened. Rita hit one of the boys in our class and broke his head. Then, Elena sent him to the hospital, so Rita tagged along too. Thus, I was about to call you to see how we could solve this incident."

Mango was completely bewildered when she heard this.

"Ms. Ting, are you sure you didn't make a mistake? Did someone hit Rita instead?"

Mango could not believe that Rita had actually broken someone else's head!

After all, Rita was merely a glutton, so how could she fight other people so well?

Thus, her intuition was telling her that this wasn't her child at all.

On the other hand, Suzy didn't know how to react after hearing what Mango said as well.

"Mrs. Ye, I'm not joking indeed! Rita was indeed the one who struck first!"

"Huh? Why did this happen?"

Mango felt a headache when she started thinking about this.

However, Suzy shook her head and said, "I don't know what happened, so I have to ask them about it later. Shall we go to the hospital and visit the kids first?"

"Oh, yeah, let's go to the hospital. Take my car, please."

Mango instantly asked Carmel to drive the car over after saying that.

However, Suzy replied, "I can't go over there because Elena is there. Besides, I can't leave the other kids here alone. Mrs. Ye, I've already contacted the parents of another child. You guys can solve the issue together."

To be honest, Suzy was cautious of Mango because her daughter had acted so toughly just now. Therefore, even though she felt that Mango wouldn't fight someone else, she still decided to remind Mango.

On the other hand, Mango's mouth twitched slightly when she heard this.

She had never been involved in a fight since she was young. So, why did Rita change so suddenly?

However, Mango only nodded before she followed the address that Suzy had given her to the hospital.

When she arrived at the hospital, she immediately saw Rita standing in a corner.

Rita was smothered with mud, and she stood in the corner there like an abandoned child.

Meanwhile, Elena paced back and forth anxiously at the door of the operating room while shouting at Rita from time to time.

"Look at what you have done! If anything happens to Brandon, how can I explain this to his parents? Why can't you talk properly as a girl? Even if he doesn't listen to you, you could have just taken a few of his blows! You simply broke his head. Stand still! I will talk to your parents when they arrive here. Quickly give me your parents' number!"

Mango's eyes narrowed instantly when she saw this.

After all, Rita's pants were drenched, and anyone could tell that she had just come out of water.

Couldn't Elena ask Rita to change her pants before bringing her here? Furthermore, how could she punish Rita by asking the latter to stand here like this?

At this thought, she started feeling enraged.

Although Rita was being punished, she still stuck her neck and said stubbornly, "What? He was the one who hit me first and scolded me! I was just defending myself."

"What nonsense! How is this self-defence? I don't care if you're protecting yourself. It's your fault for beating him up and causing these injuries. How could you be so unreasonable?"

Elana was furious!

However, Rita still replied with a determined expression, "Hah! He has such inadequate fighting skills, so he should blame himself for pissing me off instead!"

"What? I dare you to say that again!"

Elena was furious that she immediately pinched Rita after saying that.

Mango's anger instantly reached its peak at this scene.

"Hey! What are you doing over there?"
