The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1054

Mango couldn't help but recall how Merle was beaten up cruelly last time.

She had once treated Merle as a close friend and trusted him wholeheartedly. However, he had disappointed her, but she still pitied him.

She remained silent as she was in a dilemma right now.

Meanwhile, Thomas did not urge her and waited patiently for her answer.

After a long while, Mango finally spoke.

"How is he doing now?"

"His arms have recovered. However, both of his legs are paralysed, and he is wheelchair-bound."

Mango felt sorry for what happened to Merle.

In fact, she knew that Merle was hoping that Mango would forgive him.

After thinking for a long time, Mango finally said in a low voice, "Tell him that I have forgiven him."

"Alright."

Thomas was sharp-witted, so he understood what Mango was implying.

Since Mango had said so, it meant that she had permitted him to seek help from Merle.

After hanging up, Mango's gaze turned sorrowful.

Merle could have had a good future, but now, he was disabled. However, this was also a suitable conclusion to what had happened in the past.

Thus, she forgave Merle and hoped that he could start over from the beginning.

Mango took a deep breath and tidied up the gown. She was pleased and filled with joy after knowing that Nathaniel was the one who designed the dress specially for her. After that, she took a few things out of the storage room and drove to the hospital.

Meanwhile, Deborah was feeding Walter some food. However, when she noticed that Mango had arrived, she quickly stood up and greeted Mango with a smile. "Mango, you're here! Have a seat!"

Mango looked at Walter with a disgusted look and said, "I remember that you injured your legs. Huh? Can't you eat by yourself?"

Deborah's cheeks immediately flushed red when she heard this.

Walter let out a cheeky grin and said, "We are just interacting like a lovely couple. Are you jealous?"

"I'm so sorry. Since my husband isn't here, I will feel really jealous if you show off your love in front of me."

Mango said this plainly.

Then, Walter sneered and said in disapproval, "Pfft, go and find Nathaniel then."

"Deborah, look at how he's behaving! He doesn't care about me anymore now that he has a partner. Urgh! He wasn't like this before!" Mango hurriedly complained to Deborah.

Deborah immediately nudged Walter.

"How can you say that? Are you trying to get into trouble?"

After his wife nudged him, Walter immediately frowned and said, "Are you standing up for her or me?"

"Of course I'm helping Mango! She's my matchmaker."

Mango was delighted when she heard what Deborah had said.

"Indeed, my sister-in-law is the best. Here, this is for you."

Mango handed over the things in her hand.

Deborah was slightly stunned to receive a gift, and she was shocked to see what Mango had given her.

"No, No, I can't accept this!"

She gave it directly to Walter.

Walter knew it was a premise permit at first glance. After a closer look, he realised that it was the license for one of the streets located downtown.

He smiled and said, "What's happening? Are you planning to transfer half of the Ye family's property to me?"

"Hah! I'm sorry to say that you've underestimated the Ye family then. This property is just a tiny part of the family's assets. Besides, it's not for you. It's meant for Deborah."

Mango said faintly and sat on the chair next to Walter's bed.

"By the way, Grandpa also gifted you a house. He wanted me to bring the documents over, but I didn't want to, so he said that he would come and deliver them personally. Also, he said that he wants to be in charge of planning your wedding."

When Walter heard what Mango had said, he was stunned. Then, he asked incredulously, "Grandpa? Are you talking about Brantley?"

"Who else can it be? Wait, do you have another grandfather that I don't know about?"

Mango rolled her eyes at him. She felt that Walter had become more stupid after the car accident.

Deborah felt sorry for Walter, so she chimed in, "Mango, don't tease him like that! I'm sure he didn't expect that Brantley would do this." Walter smiled bitterly in reply.

"My mother had nothing to do with Brantley, so I'm not even his grandson."

"Walter Song, can you stop acting this way? My grandfather said you're his grandson, so you belong to the Xiao family. Besides, we have the same grandma, right? What on earth are you thinking? Grandpa also said that your father is not reliable and trustworthy, so he'll be hosting your wedding ceremony instead. What's up? Are you unhappy?"

Mango knew that Walter was actually feeling pleased and grateful. However, he didn't think he deserved it, so he didn't want to accept this favour. Thus, she had no choice but to force him to do so.

Suddenly, a trace of warmth flashed in Walter's gaze.

"How can I be unhappy? I'm so delighted!"

"Then, take good care of yourself and get discharged earlier to prepare for the wedding. Don't slack off. I'm telling you now, I'm going out for a trip with Nathan soon. So, don't you dare make us postpone our trip, alright?"

Walter laughed when he heard what Mango had said.

Then, Deborah looked at her and said gratefully, "Thank you, Mango. If it wasn't for you, I probably could never fulfil my wish."

"You're the only one who likes him for the way he is, and you're so determined to marry him. So, if he doesn't treat you well, you can complain to me. I'll deal with him myself!"

Mango grabbed Deborah's hand and said this sincerely.

Although Deborah was domineering and bossy, her feelings for Walter was genuine. Indeed, Walter was very fortunate to meet a woman like her.

"Well, I have something to do, so I have to go now."

"I'll walk you out."

Mango waved goodbye at Walter, and then Deborah walked her out of the ward.

"Well, you can leave first and don't worry about him. Also, you should prepare a wedding gown for the ceremony."

Deborah nodded when she heard Mango's advice.

Then, she looked inside the ward warily. After confirming that Walter wasn't looking in their direction, she asked softly, "I heard that Charlotte went to your company and stirred up some trouble there?" "Don't worry. Nathan locked her up. Besides, she can't do anything to threaten me as she's someone so insignificant."

Mango was delighted as she knew that Deborah still cared about her.

"Are you afraid that Walter will find out about it?"

Mango directed her gaze into the ward as she asked Deborah this question.

Deborah sighed and said, "Charlotte is scheming and manipulative when it comes to men. She acted all loveable to attract people's attention. I'm just afraid that I will have unnecessary quarrels with Walter because of this, so I'm trying to avoid bringing her up."

Mango was happy to see that Deborah had her priorities right, and she knew that the latter would also do anything for Walter. Thus, she had an even better impression of Deborah now.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it. Even if I kill Charlotte, Walter will not dare to be angry at me."

Deborah immediately laughed when he heard what Mango had said.

"Well, I'll make sure he doesn't do that!"

"Of course, Walter will listen to you because you're his wife."

Mango teased Deborah back.

"Come on now, you look a little sad. Did anything happen? Although I am not as capable as Mr. Ye, I can still lend you a helping hand since we are now a family. Walter adores you, and I will definitely treat you well on behalf of him. Please do let me know if there's anything I can do."

Deborah was a kind and caring person.

Mango paused for a moment and said, "Um, I want to ask your help on something."

"Tell me about it."

"I intend to deal with Lawrence, and I found out that he and uncle were business partners. I..."

Mango found out about this not long ago.

She didn't expect that Lawrence's trading company would be so successful. Therefore, Desmond couldn't do anything to interfere with it. After a thorough investigation, he found that Lawrence had a cooperative relationship with the Grey family.

Deborah immediately started laughing when she heard what Mango had said.

"Lawrence Yu is nothing to me. The Grey family rules the sea, so do we even need a partner like him? Don't worry, I promise that my father will break the contract with him in an hour."

Mango immediately froze.

The cooperation between the Grey Family and Lawrence had lasted for many years, and both companies depended on one another for profits and benefits. If this really happen, the compensation price for the breach of contract could be exorbitant. Most importantly, Jameson Grey was obviously not willing to offend Lawrence in such a way.

It was fine if she was able to destroy Lawrence Yu in one go. However, if this failed, it could become a threat to the Grey family instead.

However, Mango was obviously touched when she heard Deborah agreeing to such a risky plan without any hesitation.

"Deborah, you don't have to do it, though. I know that it will put you in a difficult situation. Also, this might be a little hard for the Grey family..."

"We're a family, and aren't you my sister-inlaw? There are lots of companies out that want to cooperate with the Grey family. How can I refuse to help you for the sake of some b*stards? That's it, I'll go in and have a chat with Walter before I leave. You can head back first and wait for my good news."

Deborah patted Mango's shoulder and entered the ward immediately without saying anything else.

Mango looked at Deborah as the latter entered the ward. Then, she secretly vowed to treat the Grey family nicer from now on as she didn't want them to regret helping her. At the same time, she also knew that she had to destroy Lawrence Yu.

Meanwhile, Deborah talked to Walter for a moment and ordered the nurse to take care of him. After that, she turned around and was ready to leave. Suddenly, Walter grabbed her by the arm.

"What's wrong? Do you need something else?"

Deborah looked at him with her bright eyes as she asked.

Walter suddenly felt really blessed as he had a wife like her. Wasn't this what he had been asking for?

"Drive slowly. It doesn't matter even if your dad doesn't agree, so don't force him."

"I understand. I'm going to be your bride soon, so I know what to do. Well then, I'll be leaving first."

Walter was mesmerised by her cheerful and captivating smile.

This was his wife! A woman who would spend the rest of her life with him! She was so beautiful and such a wonderful woman.

Meanwhile, Mango did not return home after coming out of the hospital. She went straight to the airport instead.

Desmond and Haniya had already boarded the plane. If everything went well, they would arrive in an hour, so it was just in time for her to meet them at the airport.

However, their plane hadn't landed when Mango arrived at the airport.

Then, she took out her mobile phone and called Nathaniel. But, she couldn't get through him.

This meant that Nathaniel was still on the plane.

She wondered how Wisdom was doing right now too.

Her heart was burning with anxiety. She was worried, yet she couldn't do anything. Thus, she felt terrible as she knew that she could only wait for further news!

If only Wisdom could come back safely this time, she swore that she would never allow him to leave Ocean City again.

While Mango was deep in thought, she heard a broadcast from the airport.

Desmond and Haniya's plane had arrived.

Mango immediately waited for them at the entrance. From a distance, she saw Haniya walking in front with her luggage, and Desmond followed behind her while wearing a pair of sunglasses. The distance between the two of them was more than a meter. If she had not known them, she would have thought that they were strangers and did not know each other.
