The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1141

"What's going on?"

Mango stood up in shock while Nathaniel's expression turned serious.

Both of them ran out quickly.

Zion threw Wisdom onto the floor, and the latter bumped into a cabinet on the side. The great "bang" sound emitted due to huge impulsive force caught Mango's and Nathaniel's attention, so they immediately went over.

Mango was heartbroken when both and Nathaniel found out that Zion had thrown Wisdom out!

"Are you ok? Does it hurt? Quick! Show me your injury."

Wisdom felt like his entire body was about to fall apart.

Just as he fell asleep, Zion woke up and threw him out without a word.

Wisdom felt pain in his butt because of that fall!

"Mommy, I'm fine. Quick! You take a look at Zion." Just as Wisdom finished talking, Nathaniel arrived at Zion's room. He saw Zion sitting in front of the computer and having fun with a game. In fact, he showed no remorse for what he had just done.

Nathaniel frowned slightly at this scene.

"What are you doing?"

Zion glanced at Nathaniel and turned around. Then, he continued with his game without replying to Nathaniel.

It appeared that Zion's alter ago had a cold personality.

On the end hand, Mango didn't dare to let Wisdom and Zion stay together any longer. She carried Wisdom back to his room quickly and called Emberly in the late-night so that she could come over and take a look at Wisdom.

After she finally managed to drag Emberly over, the latter examined Wisdom and made sure that he was fine. Then, Mango could only let out a sigh of relief.

"What's going on?"

Emberly asked in surprise.

Mango was a little reluctant to tell Emberly the truth. Hence, she said that Wisdom had fallen off the bed due to his improper sleeping posture. She was afraid that he had gotten hurt from the fall, so she let her to come over and take a look.

After that, Emberly went back after ensuring Wisdom was fine.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel stayed at the door of Zion's room the whole night.

Zion didn't do or say anything and kept playing with his game. He only walked to the bed and fell asleep when dawn broke.

After that, Nathaniel walked over to make sure Zion was really sleeping.

Then, he adjusted Zion's sleeping position covered him with a blanket before leaving his room.

Nathaniel knew that he couldn't let things escalate any further.

After Nathaniel came out, he realized that Mango had not slept for the entire night as well.

Mango's face was a little pale, and her eyes were full of dark circles. Thus, Nathaniel felt distressed when she saw how she looked.

"Go to sleep. Grandpa said that he would move there today, but he didn't specify the time. Go back to sleep first, and I'll call you later."

Mango shook her head after hearing Nathaniel's words.

"I'm not sleepy."

It had been a long time since she felt so awake after staying up the entire night.

Mango looked at Nathaniel and said with a smile, "You should go back and sleep for a while. Now that Zion is in this state, we can't leave him alone and go to sleep. So, why don't we take turns?" "Can your body take it?"

Nathaniel was very worried about Mango's health.

"I'm fine. I slept for a while, and I just woke up. You should go to rest quickly, or maybe I'll get you something to eat."

Mango was about to stand up and head to the kitchen, but Nathaniel stopped her.

"Take a rest. I'll go to sleep."

Nathaniel had no appetite at the moment.

He was upset because his son had become like this.

Mango sighed as she saw Nathaniel returned to his room. Then, she stood up and went to Zion's room.

She looked at Zion, who was asleep, and recalled how thoughtful he used to be. Once again, she regretted sending Zion to the military region.

Her child was still so young, but he had seen the cruelty of war too early. As a parent, she blamed herself for being too brutish.

With this thought in mind, Mango picked Zion up and hugged him in her legs. She patted Zion's body gently as if he was still an infant.

After about three hours of sleep, Zion opened his eyes suddenly.

He saw Mango looking at him with a loving face. However, the dark circles under her eyes made him frown slightly.

"Mommy?"

"Hi, you are awake? Are you hungry? I will make some food for you."

Mango smiled faintly.

Zion shook his head subconsciously.

"I'm not hungry, and I am just a little tired. Also, I feel a little bit sore."

"You've been playing games all night, so you should feel sore. Come on, I will give you a message."

She spoke while massaging Zion's arm.

Zion was stunned for a moment when he heard what she said.

Did he play a game all night?

Why couldn't he remember anything?

He looked at the computer immediately and saw his favourite game was still open on the screen.

Zion frowned slightly.

"Mommy, I'm a little hungry. I want to eat preserved egg porridge with lean meat."

Mango was shocked when Zion opened his mouth suddenly. "Alright, take a rest first, I will cook for you," she replied happily without thinking much.

After that, Mango spared no pains and went to the kitchen.

Then, Zion got up and went straight to Wisdom's room.

Wisdom was still asleep, but he could feel that was someone staring at him. Thus, he felt uncomfortable with it.

He opened his eyes immediately and saw Zion standing by his bed like a ghost. Then, he jumped up in shock at this scene.

"Don't come near me! I'm telling you, I'm not going easy on you if you hit me again. Although I can't beat you, don't mess with me."

Zion had a gloomy gaze and aura around him, so Wisdom thought the Zion's secondary personality had taken control of his body and wanted to attack him.

Thu, Wisdom continued to remain alert.

Then, Zion noticed that Wisdom's posture was a little weird, and the latter's butt appeared to be injured.

He narrowed his eyes slightly at this scene.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Huh? What can I do? You threw me out last night and injured me. My butt is still hurting. I'm warning you, remember that you are the secondary personality of Zion. Don't be gleeful because you can only control him temporarily. He has strong willpower and will definitely suppress you with my help."

Wisdom said angrily.

This situation was terrible!

Zion had never hurt anyone all this while. The secondary personality was really annoying.

Zion's heart thumped when he heard this.

Secondary personality?

Was Wisdom talking about a split personality?

Wait... did he have a split personality?

Zion was so confused with all the information he was receiving right now.

He looked at Wisdom and was dumbfounded.

How could this be?

Wasn't having a split personality a mental disorder?

Did that mean that he had a mental problem?

So the reason his mommy looked at him in worry just now was that his secondary personality came out last night?

Zion felt devastated as he thought further.

He always thought that he was a strong man, but he didn't expect that he would become like this.

No, he couldn't accept this!

Wisdom swallowed hard upon looking at his reaction.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

However, Zion didn't say anything and turned around to head upstairs.

Wisdom was afraid that Zion would do something terrible, so he quickly jumped off the bed and tried to follow him. But, Zion said coldly, "Don't follow me, I'm Zion." Wisdom was so shocked that his mouth widened apart upon hearing it.

Zion?

How could it be?

After that, Zion went straight to Nathaniel's bedroom.

Although Nathaniel was still resting, he was highly alert. Out of a sudden, he opened his eyes. He was stunned and at a loss when he found that Zion was by his side.

Zion observed Nathaniel's reactions carefully. He managed to capture Nathaniel's alert expression, although it had flashed by quickly.

"Mr. Ye, do I have a split personality?"

Zion went straight to the point.

Nathaniel was startled. After making sure that Zion's core personality had control of his body right now, he nodded heavily.

"Don't worry, your mommy and I go to treatments with you."

Zion became quiet after Nathaniel verified his illness.

However, Nathaniel felt even downhearted. After all, Zion didn't cry out loud like other children would when he learnt about his disorder.

He got up and held Zion in his arms. "I'm sorry, I didn't take care of you. Your mommy and I will be with you. So, don't worry, you'll be fine," he said in a low voice.

Zion's heart was in a mess. He felt a little afraid when Nathaniel was hugging him.

He didn't know what his secondary personality was like, and he wasn't sure whether it was aggressive or not. Moreover, he didn't even know how long the state would last. If daddy and mommy kept accompanying him, they would definitely ignore the other children.

When he thought of Wisdom and Rita, he felt even more dejected.

All of them were the closest people to him and he had always wanted to protect them. But now he could attack them anytime because of his aggressive secondary personality. How could he not be sad? Zion's couldn't control his mood swings. Somehow, he didn't struggle when Nathaniel held him. Instead, he reached his arms out and hugged Nathaniel and whispered, "Mr. Ye, help me."

This was the first time that Nathaniel's son had asked him for help.

There was a trace of tremor and fear in Zion's voice. He was scared because he couldn't control his alternative personalities.

Nathaniel was devastated when he saw his son in such a state.

"I'll help you, son. I promise I'll cure you."

Zion's eyes became teary when he heard this.

He bit at his lower lip and whispered, "Mr. Ye, please send me to the military base."

"What did you say?"

Nathaniel pushed Zion away forcefully.

The new year was approaching, and there was no one in the base anymore. Furthermore, if they sent him to the base in his current state, wouldn't they be kicking him out of the family now? Besides, he was sure that Mango wouldn't agree either.

"Don't think too much as it's not a terminal disease. You're too stressed. Zion, it's your mommy and my fault because we didn't think about this decision carefully before we made a decision. We should not have exposed you to the cruelty of war because you're just a child. So don't blame yourself. Believe in us, alright? You'll definitely recover quickly!"

Nathaniel looked at Zion and felt an intense pain in his heart.

On the other hand, Zion sobbed, "Mr. Ye, I'm afraid I'll hurt you guys. I hurt Wisdom today, so I might hurt Mommy and Rita tomorrow. No... I don't want this to happen! I don't want to unknowingly hurt the people that I love the most! That is too painful, and I cannot endure that."

This was the first time that Nathaniel had seen Zion crying.

Nathaniel had never seen Zion cry since the latter had come back from the base.

He was so strong, but everyone felt bad for him.

Now, he was crying because of his illness. However, he was crying out of fear that he would hurt his loved ones because of it. At this thought, Nathaniel's heart ached even badly.
