The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) -
Chapter 1082
At that moment, Mango frowned.
Henry's matter was not a big deal and it wouldn't trouble Nathaniel.
"Don't disturb him so that he can sleep a while more. Go buy some breakfast... millet porridge would be best as it's easy to digest. He doesn't seem to be in good health recently." Mango instructed and the two bodyguards immediately did it.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel was in a deep sleep although he wasn't a sound sleeper. Usually, any small sound around him would wake him up as he had undergone military training. However, he must have felt very tired as he slept too late, or he could be sick now.
Was he sick?
Mango frowned slightly as she quickly ran in.
She reached out her hand to touch Nathaniel's head and she realized that it was a little warm.
Immediately, Mango took a thermometer to measure Nathaniel's temperature.
Indeed, he had a fever!
Nathaniel actually had a fever!
At that moment, Mango was a little anxious.
"Can you help me get a doctor here?"
Mango said to her subordinate.
Then, the subordinate quickly went to the hospital to call a local doctor to treat Nathaniel after knowing that he had a fever.
Later, the doctor examined Nathaniel's condition and he said in a low voice, "He's having a fever as he caught a cold, but he'll be fine after taking some antipyretics. However, he lacks sleep severely, so you should ask him to rest more."
Then, Mango nodded before sending the doctor away.
When she came back, Nathaniel had not woken up.
He rarely slept so deeply.
Mango held Nathaniel's hand and she felt that his temperature was still rising.
What was wrong with her husband?
How did he have a fever?
Was it because they looked at the stars last night?
They didn't go outside though!
At that instant, Mango was puzzled and she could not help but think of the cigarette butt on the
deck.
"What time did he sleep last night?"
"After five o'clock in the morning."
Then, Mango was stunned by the servant's reply.
What was Nathaniel doing since he did not sleep all night?
Was he standing on the deck alone while looking at the sea?
At that moment, Mango's heart ached a little.
She went to get some hot water and took a towel to wipe Nathaniel's body before feeding him the medicine.
Later, Nathaniel's body cooled down after she served him for more than two hours
When he opened his eyes, he felt that his entire body was weak.
"What's wrong with me?"
Nathaniel wanted to get up, but he felt really fragile.
Then, Mango hurriedly helped him up before giving him a cup of warm water and she whispered, "You're having a fever."
"Me?"
Nathaniel was a little stunned.
How was it possible that he had a fever?
However, he could tell from Mango's expression that she was telling the truth.
"Sorry for making you worry..."
"You're just a human being, so how can you be healthy all the time? you don't have to apologize to me... It's my fault for not realizing that you have a fever even though I'm beside you." Mango felt a little remorseful.
However, Nathaniel held her hand and said, "It's my fault for not taking good care of myself... I never catch a cold yet I surprisingly fall sick here."
"Are you hungry? I bought some millet porridge, would you like some?"
Mango changed the topic.
"All right."
Nathaniel smiled softly.
At that moment, Mango saw a trace of tenderness in his eyes, but his gaze seemed complicated and she could not see through his thoughts.
She took the millet porridge and fed Nathaniel bit by bit.
Nathaniel looked at Mango's face as he ate the millet porridge scoop by scoop. At that instant, Mango's actions warmed his heart.
He would protect his wife all his life and he could not bear to let her suffer any more hardships.
Soon, Mango fed him the whole bowl of congee. She heaved a sigh of relief only when she saw beads of sweat appearing at Nathaniel's forehead.
"It's good that you're sweating, but you might feel weak now, so you'd better lie down..."
Mango put down the bowl and spoon.
Then, Nathaniel held her hand and said, "I'm not that weak, so don't worry. I'll just lie for a while."
"You'd better rest for a little longer. I need to go out now."
Then, Nathaniel nodded after hearing Mango's words.
"Is it because of Henry? My men have caught him, so it's up to you to decide what to do since he's part of Dark Night Empire after all. Don't be too angry though, as you know, he's not worth your effort." Mango knew that Nathaniel was afraid that she would experience the pain she felt because of Merle's betrayal again.
So, she nodded.
"I know. I'll settle it well. You can take a good rest here, but if you're uncomfortable, tell someone to book a hotel onshore so that you can rest there... It's a little cold here after all."
However, Nathaniel shook his head and said, "I don't want to go anywhere now as I'm too lazy to move, so I'll just rest here. Anyway, ask Britton to accompany you so that he can protect you."
Britton was a member of Baxter Alliance and he was the man who went out to buy millet porridge for Nathaniel.
If it wasn't for the fact that Nathaniel felt weak because of his fever, he would have accompanied Mango himself.
Nevertheless, Mango knew that he was worried about her, so she nodded and said, "Alright, I'll head over first. Call me if there's anything."
"Alright, I'll take a nap now as I'm a little tired."
Nathaniel wasn't too well mentally.
Then, Mango said with some concern, "Perhaps I shouldn't go... I think I'd better stay with you, or else I'll be worried. I can interrogate Henry anytime anyway."
"I'm fine. I just feel a little weak because of my fever, so don't worry about me. Besides, I have many bodyguards on this ship, but Henry's situation is different. This place is not our territory, so if something unexpected happens and he escapes, he might attack us in the future. As you know, we can't afford to leave our threat unsettled as we have children."
Then, Mango bit her lower lip after hearing Nathaniel's words.
If it weren't for the children, she would want to go out in this weather.
Moreover, they agreed to spend Nathaniel's birthday together privately, but their time together indeed lasted for only a day.
Mango held Nathaniel's hand and said, "I'll come back as soon as possible."
"All right."
Then, Mango changed her clothes and went out.
They weren't in Ocean City, so everything onshore seemed really unfamiliar to her. However, Mango wasn't afraid at all as Nathaniel and the members of Baxter Alliance were around.
She narrowed her eyes and asked in a low voice, "Have you found out who's the woman that met Henry yesterday?"
"Yes."
"Who is it?"
"Sisi."
At that moment, Britton's words almost caused Mango to trip over.
"Who?"
She turned around abruptly and stared at Britton.
Then, Britton whispered, "Sisi, your sister-in-law,
Nathaniel's younger sister. Mr. Ye knew about it yesterday."
At that instant, Mango figured it out.
It was because of Sisi that Nathaniel smoked and stood in the cold wind on the deck all night. That was why he had a fever and a cold now.
So it was Sisi!
She was Nathaniel's only family member in this world.
So, her betrayal and hostility were undoubtedly a big blow to Nathaniel and he must felt overwhelmingly heartbroken and sorrowful.
At that moment, Mango's eyes darkened.
Laney was an insignificant figure yet she destroyed the peace in the Ye family so easily.
Mango continued walking, but she felt heavy-hearted with each step she took.
Nathaniel didn't mention it, but it didn't mean that he didn't feel upset.
It must be because he was in so much pain that he felt so dejected.
At that moment, Mango followed Britton to a nearby house.
Someone was guarding outside.
Everyone showed their respect towards Mango when she arrived.
She pushed open the door and walked in.
At that instant, Henry was tied to the chair and his mouth was stuffed with a towel.
The moment he saw Mango enter, he thought that he had seen it wrongly.
How could it be?
Why would Mango appear here?
Meanwhile, Mango looked at the man in front of her and she recalled how he grew from a weak youth to an independent team leader now. She used to be so proud of him, but she was filled with grief and pain
now.
"Why?"
Mango sat across him and removed the towel from his mouth.
It wasn't until Henry heard Mango's voice that he was certain that he wasn't hallucinating.
Mango was really here.
At that moment, Henry realized that everything he done was exposed.
He looked at Mango and said mockingly, "What are you trying to ask? I don't understand."
"Why did you betray me?"
Mango wasn't too shocked by Henry's treachery after experiencing Merle's betrayal. Moreover, Henry had done something wrong and he should feel sorry for her, so there was no need for her to be upset and sorrowful.
The reason why she took Henry in was that she promised Novalee to take care of him after her death. However, she didn't expect things to end up like this.
Henry could not help but smile when he heard Mango's question.
"Betray? How did I betray you? You and my sister are good friends, but where were you when she died? She died so miserably, are you saying that it has nothing to do with you? You must have been hiding something from me and you don't want me to know the cause of my sister's death. Well, you shouldn't have promoted me and let me take such a high position if that's so. In that way, I won't be able to find out the cause of my sister's death. On one hand, you pretend to be kind to me by promoting me, but on the other hand, you hid the truth about my sister's death from me. Now, you're asking me why I betrayed you? Mango, don't you think you're being too hypocritical?"
Henry smiled, but his voice was trembling and tears welled up in his eyes.
Then, Mango looked at him and said word by word, "Don't you know why I didn't tell you the reason Novalee died? Your sister has done something wrong and she has already paid the price, so there's no need for you to ruin your life. I'm helping you not because I feel guilty for Novalee, but because I hope that you can have a different life. I hope that you can live a simple and carefree life. I know that you'll know the truth sooner or later, so I don't intend to hide it from you. You can easily investigate anything you like with your current position, but I didn't expect you to make such a choice. Henry, you really disappoint me."
"You are disappointed? How dare you say that you're upset because of me! Don't you know that Novalee is my only family in this world? There aren't many people left in Longford Country and my sister has suffered so much for me! She sacrificed everything for me regardless of what she has done to others or how vicious she is. However, I didn't know how much she has been through until she died... She's my closest and only sister! She's just like my mother! How can I not avenge her death and hate you because of it?"
At that moment, Henry's tears fell from the corner of his eyes.
The atmosphere in the room felt oppressive as he looked sad and depressed.
Mango understood his feelings, but she didn't agree with what he did.
"You're hateful and you want to avenge her death, but what about those people who were hurt by your sister? How are they going to vent their emotions? Henry, Novalee is dead and all the grudges are settled. Why can't you start your own life in a nice way?"
"I can't! I couldn't sleep every night after I knew the truth and I even dreamed of my sister's tragic death! I can't let it go."
Then, Henry's words caused Mango's eyes to darken.
"So, you took advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble when I asked you to come out and look for Hikasa Manual?"
