The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1136

Barney could not help but be startled after she heard it.

Noah knew Nathaniel had guessed correctly when they saw her expression.

Noah went into the bedroom to eat something after hypnotizing Zion. He did not expect that something would happen during this period.

Noah said guiltily, "Sorry, I'm a little tired after performing the hypnosis so I went to eat something, but I didn't expect that something will go wrong."

"It's not your fault."

Nathaniel was not an unreasonable person. Noah had it tough, so Nathaniel forgave him.

He looked at Barney and continued, "What did he do?"

Barney looked at Noah and immediately replied, "I'll be an interpreter. These days, Barney learned how to read lips so she knows how to understand others, but she needs an interpreter to express herself." "Alright."

Nathaniel did not look down on Barney, which made her feel relieved.

She said, "After Zion was hypnotized, my father left. Then, Zion suddenly sat up and he rolled up his sleeves. There was a very beautiful bracelet on his wrist and I thought that the bracelet was hindering his hypnotism, so I wanted to take it down for him but Zion pushed me away and removed the bracelet himself. That bracelet was extremely strange. I didn't know where he touched, but a light shot out from the bracelet with a sound. Then, a computer screen appeared on the other wall while a keyboard was on his blanket. He tapped the keyboard and I have no idea what code he had entered. When I wanted to ask him what he was going to do, he suddenly released a strange laugh then he put away the bracelet and laid down obediently. After that, he was like this all the time until you all came."

Nathaniel and Noah suddenly understood what happened after hearing Barney's explanation.

"A three-dimensional projection laptop is set up."

Nathaniel nodded.

As a hacker, carrying a computer along with him was necessary. However, Zion's identity was special and it would attract others' attention if he constantly carried around a laptop, so the military region had specially arranged a three-dimensional virtual laptop for him. In other words, it was a high-tech product that used light stimuli and body temperature to operate.

Hearing Barney's words, Nathaniel could be sure that the video was sent by Zion.

It was also from Zion's alter personalities.

"But he's still so young. Why did he send this kind of stuff to me?"

What if his alter personality was a playboy?

Thinking of this, Nathaniel was very worried.

The anger he had just now had long gone, and it was now replaced by distress and worry.

Noah also looked serious.

This could only mean that the hypnosis treatment failed.

Zion adjusted himself and therefore his alter came out to reduce the stress of the shooting incident. This news was terrible and it seemed very dangerous to Zion.

"Nathan, I'm sorry, I..."

"There's no need to apologize. You're a doctor, not God. No one expected Zion would act like this. Let's keep this a secret for the time being while I go back and discuss it with Mango first. Zion can stay here for a while but don't tell him these things. At least, not now."

Nathaniel's tone was very depressing.

"Alright."

Noah nodded.

He did not know about Zion's current condition even though Zion was under his close observation. He was indeed quite dejected.

Therefore, a genius shouldn't be in such a serious condition, or else it would be a danger to the public.

Nathaniel glanced at Zion again. He was still asleep, but Nathaniel knew that his alter might be awake right now.

It was because Noah had hypnotized the host and suppressed it, so his alter personality took the chance to come out and cause trouble.

Nathaniel was even a little afraid. He did not know what Zion would become if this situation persisted.

Fortunately, his alter hacked his computer today instead of someone else's. If that were to happen... Nathaniel was frightened.

"Please, Noah, keep an eye on him. I'll go back first."

"Alright."

Hearing the conversation between Noah and Nathaniel, a trace of worry appeared in Barney's eyes. Would Zion be alright?

Barney did not know, but she quickly returned to the room and held Zion's small hand tightly.

His hands were a little cold, which made Barney feel distressed.

After leaving the Soo family, Nathaniel got on the car and stopped after driving for some distance.

He did not know how to explain it to Mango, but he had to tell her because this matter was related to their child. Now that something had happened, Mango had the right to know.

He always thought that Zion was the one who could let people rest assured, but he did not expect such a thing to happen.

Instead of blame, Nathaniel felt distressed and this feeling almost drowned him.

He lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.

It had been a long time since he smoked, but today he had to do it to suppress his mental stress.

He would have protected Zion if he knew of Zion's existence back in Welbenia. No, he should not have let Zion go there in the first place.

However, it was too late to say anything now.

Nathaniel kept coughing while he smoked.

However, he still could not ease the sadness in his heart.

Nathaniel had become like this after he learned the truth. What about Mango? How would she react?

For a moment, Nathaniel's heart ached thinking of Mango.

After he finished smoking, snow started to fall on Nathaniel's hair. The whiteness on his hair looked as if he had become an old man.

He took in a deep puff and threw the cigarette butt out. Then, he rolled up the window and headed home.

After eating the snacks, Mango saw that there was no sound outside and quickly cleaned up the place. Then, she opened the door and walked out. "Lucy, where is Nathaniel?"

Mango did not find Nathaniel in the study room, nor did she find him anywhere else. She paused for a moment.

Was he angry?

In fact, it was normal for men to watch something like this. She also knew that she was just too shocked at that time. After all, how could a person who was serious and indifferent like Nathaniel watch that kind of video secretly?

However, the biggest reason of Mango being angry was that she actually wanted to take the opportunity to eat some junk food.

She thought that Nathaniel would wait outside or wait for her in the study, but now it seemed that she thought too much.

Recently, Nathaniel had spoiled her too much and treated her indulgently. She even forgot that Nathaniel was once decisive and adamant.

Where did Nathaniel go?

Mango had to ask Lucy.

Upon hearing Mango's question, Lucy hurriedly said, "Ma'am, he drove out not too long ago."

"He's out?"

Mango was a little surprised.

What was Nathaniel doing outside at this time?

Did someone really hack his computer?

Did he go out to find that person to prove his innocence?

Thoughts were running through her mind.

Mango felt like crying when she thought of how Nathaniel had taken out such a small incident to investigate and even brought someone with him to prove his innocence. The scheme rebounded on her in a way she had not expected.

By then, what would happen to her reputation?

Didn't he care about her dignity?

Mango felt like weeping but had no tears.

"How long has he been out?"

"It's almost half an hour."

Mango wailed once again in her heart.

He had not come back for half an hour so it seemed that her guess was right.

Mango felt like hiding, but Nathaniel drove back before she could take any action.

"D*mn!"

Mango subconsciously turned around and ran.

"Lucy, if Nathaniel asks, you can say that I'm asleep and don't want anyone to disturb me. Do you understand?"

"What?"

Lucy did not understand what Mango meant. Then, she saw Mango quickly ran back to her bedroom and locked the door.

She hopped onto her bed and pulled the blanket over her body to cover herself. She tried her best to pretend that she had fallen asleep.

After Nathaniel came back, he was still in a heavy mood. When he saw that Lucy was standing in the living room and looking in the direction of the bedroom, he asked, "What's wrong? Did anything happen?" "Everything's fine, but ma'am said that she wanted to sleep and she didn't want to see anyone for the time being. She asked me to inform you."

Lucy quickly said.

Although she did not know what was wrong with the couple, she had seen how Nathaniel doted on Mango. Mango did not seem to be hurt at all, but she still stood by Mango's side. After all, women had to have each other's backs.

Nathaniel nodded but he did not listen to Mango as usual. Instead, he said directly to Lucy, "Bring the keys to me."

"Sir, madam said that she doesn't want to be disturbed, you..."

Before Lucy could finish her words, Nathaniel shot her a stern look which frightened her.

It had been a long time since she saw Nathaniel so angry. After all, he had always been happy in this house as long as Mango was here. It really scared Lucy now as Nathaniel turned cold out of the blue. "I... I'll get it now."

Lucy ran away to get the spare keys, but she looked at Nathaniel with some concern. She was thinking about whether she should phone Mango or send a text message. It was at this time, she heard Nathaniel say coldly, "If you still want to work for the Ye family, you'd better hurry up and do your job. Also, no matter what happens later, no one is allowed to come to the second floor."

Nathaniel's voice was cold and piercing.

Lucy could not help shivering and hurriedly ran to get the spare keys.

Nathaniel did not want to be angry in The Ye's Mansion. After all, this was the love nest between him and Mango. However, Zion's matter was no small matter. One was because Zion's status was special, so Nathaniel had no choice but to watch out for the others who would use this to make a fuss. The other reason was purely to protect his son. After all, it was not suitable for the others to know. Not even his own servants.

After Lucy took out the keys, Nathaniel said coldly, "Take everyone out to buy some New Year goods for your families. I'll pay for it when all of you come back. Take it as a gift and bonus for the season."

The more Nathaniel behaved like this, the more worried Lucy was but she could not go against it.

She led all the servants out.

When only Mango and Nathaniel were left in the house, he went upstairs with the spare keys.

The sound of footsteps was clear and it caused Mango's heart to jump.
