The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1135

What was Nathaniel doing?

Mango knew that Nathaniel's hearing was very good, but she could not control her emotions if she did not go to him.

They needed to go to Brantley's place tomorrow. If she wanted to quarrel with Nathaniel, it was better to do it earlier as not to worry her grandfather.

With this thought in mind, Mango walked towards the study room.

Nathaniel paused for a moment when he heard Mango's footsteps. He subconsciously wanted to turn off the computer, but the computer was still in a black screen so he could not exit it.

At this moment, Nathaniel really wanted to give Zion a good beating.

As Mango pushed the door open, Nathaniel quickly got up and covered the computer screen.

"My dear wife, why are you here?"

"What are you doing?"

Mango was downcast.

There were still moaning sounds coming from the computer.

Now, she had heard everything at this distance. This made Mango's face turn red.

"Nathaniel, you actually watched this kind of thing behind my back! Do you use your own hands too?"

Nathaniel felt wronged at Mango's question.

"Honey, it's not true. Someone hacked my computer. I'm going to recover it now."

Nathaniel explained quickly.

However, Mango did not listen to him.

"Yeah, others hacked your computer and sent you this kind of thing. Who is that person? Why is he so kind to you? Is he your son?"

Nathaniel really wanted to said yes to her questions. It was really Zion who had sent him these things. However, he could not say anything.

It was because Mango would not believe him if he said it was Zion. What's more, he could not bring Zion here for a confrontation.

However, Nathaniel had a strong desire for survival and said, "Mango, really, I've been hacked. If you don't believe me, you can see that there's no way to exit it."

In order to prove that what he said was right, Nathaniel did not care about anything else and quickly turned on the computer screen.

The video on the screen was simply unbearable to

look at.

What would happen if Mango found out that it was Zion who sent it?

His wife might think that he had led Zion astray.

Although he did not know what was wrong with Zion, Nathaniel was really suffering right now.

Mango walked over when she saw that Nathaniel explained in a sincere way.

"It's best that you can prove that it wasn't you who wanted to watch it. Otherwise..."

Before Mango could finish, Nathaniel hurriedly said, "I didn't open it myself. I don't have this thing stored on my computer at all, okay? Look, I can't exit this video at all." While he was still explaining to Mango, he moved the cursor to the exit button and clicked on it.

Then, something magical happened.

The video tab was closed immediately.

It happened in the blink of an eye.

"Nathaniel Ye!"

Mango was enraged.

Nathaniel wanted to cry so badly.

"No, no, it's a misunderstanding, Mango. I really can't exit the tab just now!" "Get lost!"

Mango pushed Nathaniel aside angrily and ran out.

"Nathaniel, you are such a terrible man." She thought to herself.

Although she knew that most men would watch some videos to satisfy their needs. However, as his wife, she still felt uncomfortable as he was more willing to watch the video than to touch her. Nathaniel was about to explode.

He thought, "You're dead-meat, Zion!"

Nathaniel quickly chased after Mango. However, he did not expect Mango to lock the bedroom door.

"My dear wife, open the door, please? Can you listen to my explanation?"

"I don't want to listen to you and don't come in! I don't want to see you!"

While shouting angrily, Mango took out a pile of snacks from the cabinet. How wonderful.

She wanted to take this opportunity to eat some junk food.

It was really nostalgic!

Since she was in poor health, Nathaniel had stopped her from eating junk food. She craved junk food so much.

It was not easy for her to buy it secretly, and she was still thinking about how to find a time to eat it. Now that Nathaniel made such a move, she would be letting herself down if she did not take advantage of this opportunity..

Poor Nathaniel did not know that his wife deliberately quarreled with him just for the sake of eating junk food. He was so upset.

Nathaniel naturally did not dare to casually take the keys and enter because Mango had forbidden him to enter the room, lest his wife became angrier.

There was no sound from the room after he waited for a while. Nathaniel finally accepted his fate and returned to the study room.

"You little brat, who taught you to scheme me and send this evil things to my computer. I'll beat you to death when I see you."

Nathaniel quickly grabbed his jacket. Then, he went out of the door straight to Noah's place.

Noah was a little surprised to see Nathaniel.

"You want to pick him up, right? Zion hasn't finished his psychological counseling. I'll send him back after he finishes. Don't worry, it won't delay your plan of going to Brantley's place tomorrow." Nathaniel was dumbfounded for a moment.

"Zion is doing psychological counseling right now?"

"That's right."

Noah nodded.

Nathaniel frowned suddenly.

"Where's Zion's laptop?"

"He didn't bring any with him? What's wrong with you?"

Seeing Nathaniel's gloomy experience, Noah realized that there was something amiss so he asked.

Nathaniel asked where was Zion at before walking over.

Noah grabbed Nathaniel's arm and said with a deep voice, "Well, I'm hypnotizing him so it is best if you don't make any noise to avoid accidents. You also know that the best psychological therapy for mental injuries after shooting is hypnosis. This is a crucial period and today's the last day, so you shouldn't..."

"I know."

Nathaniel forced himself to calm down.

Nathaniel was looking at Zion from the window. He saw Zion lying on the bed with his eyes closed and it was obvious that he had entered a hypnotic state. Barney was by his side while holding his

hand.

The age gap between the two children was not big but Barney was very considerate towards Zion and would wipe the sweat off his forehead from time to time. Zion's brows were tightly knitted together. It was obvious that he did not feel very good.

Nathaniel had not paid much attention to this child since Zion started his psychological therapy. He always thought that Zion was strong mentally. Moreover, his performance in the military region was outstanding and he was also a genius, so he should be able to survive. However, it was only at this moment that he realized that Zion was only a five-year-old kid after all. After experiencing shooting and killing someone, he had been enduring the sufferings on his own.

The overwhelming anger just now was instantly extinguished, and a deep guilt and care for his son surged up.

"Is his condition very serious?"

Noah nodded his head and said, "Sort of. After all, he's still young. Even though he said shooting and killing was his last resort, it was a new experience for him. After I hypnotized him, I realized that Zion feared the dark after the incident. He would see blood when he closed his eyes, as well as the face of the dead person. You and I both experienced this feeling before but we were older then. If this trauma wasn't handled properly, it's very likely that he would have a split personality."

"What do you mean?"

Nathaniel's heart wrenched.

"Do you think that my son might suffer from dissociative identity disorder?"

"Don't be so nervous, okay?"

Noah, who was about to be a father, naturally understood Nathaniel's emotions. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Zion is a stubborn child who always carries the burden by himself. This kind of personality isn't bad initially, but once he can't bear it, his consciousness will help him to cope and split into alters to dissociate himself from trauma. He usually won't feel anything, but I'm afraid it will be bad for his growth if this persists. Recently I've found out that he has a faint tendency to do this. You know that the host won't know what the alters have done once a distinct identity is developed."

Nathaniel's heart sank suddenly.

He thought of what happened to his computer not long ago.

Could that be something that Zion's alter had done?

However, why would such a young child like adult things?

Nathaniel did not quite understand.

He glanced at Zion and asked, "Noah, what do you think will happen after he has a split personality?"

"That's hard to say. Why? You..."

"Can the alters possess all the skills from the host?"

Noah nodded.

"Of course. To put it bluntly, dissociative identity disorder is just terminology. It's to help a patient cope with the pressure so a separate personality appears. Some alters who have very strong willpower will slowly occupy the host's personality, but many can't do that. Did you come here because you realized something was wrong with Zion?"

Noah was smart. Nathaniel came aggressively at the beginning, but now he was much calmer. It was easy to guess that something had happened.

Nathaniel did not hide it from Noah. He nodded and said, "Yes, he hacked my computer."

"Ah? When did this happen?"

"Before I came."

Nathaniel's words made Noah frown.

"That's impossible. He has always been in the

room. Barney is with him."

Nathaniel's face was very dignified.

"Can you let Barney come out for a moment? I have something to ask her."

"Alright."

Noah gently opened the door.

Barney quickly raised her head and glanced at Noah.

"Barney, come out for a moment."

Noah did not make a sound and conversed with Barney through moving his lips.

Barney glanced at Zion and nodded. She pulled her hand away from Zion's and covered him with a blanket before getting up and walking out of the room. Nathaniel still remembered how she looked like when he met Barney for the first time. Now, Barney was as natural and graceful as a little girl born from a rich family.

Thus, it could be seen that Noah and Genevieve had been teaching her well.

Nathaniel's face softened when he remembered that the little girl in front of him was his son's lifesaver.

He glanced at Zion in the room and said to Barney, "Barney, did something happen during the hypnosis period? You have to tell me honestly because this is very important for him."
