The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1218

Before Nathaniel could think of a way to deal with it, Mango suddenly raised her head, so he immediately put his phone behind him.

"Just look at how happy you are."

Nathaniel said faintly with a smile on his face.

Then, Mango chuckled and said, " Naha! All of them are so jealous, and they keep asking me where I am."

"Did you answer them?"

"No! Why would I do that? Although I want more tourists to come over here, I'm not stupid. If I tell them, wouldn't it gives away our location? So, I'm not falling forthat." Mango said proudly as if she had done something well, and Nathaniel liked her cute expression very much. However, he was still a little worried about Walter. "Mango."

"Yeah?"

Mango raised her head again and glanced at Nathaniel before asking.

There was so much excitement and joy in her eyes, so Nathaniel didn't feel like telling her about

"Nothing, you should look at the stars more if you like them so much. We're going to sleep soon."

"Alright!"

Mango nodded and continued to chat with her friends.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel took out his cell phone again and looked at the physical examination report. Then, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Lead poisoning?!

How could Walter suffer from lead poisoning?

Furthermore, he should have gone through a physical examination when he married Deborah right?

How did they not find out about this back then?

At this thought, Nathaniel felt his head throbbing.

After that, Nathaniel sent the physical examination report to Walter directly and said, "Take a look at your physical examination report. You have lead in your body. Why didn't you do a premarital checkup?" On the other hand, Walter was obviously surprised by his own report and replied, "When I registered for marriage, I was hospitalized because I was in a car accident. So how could I have done a checkup at that time?"

"Then how did the doctor find out that you were suffering from lead poisoning now?"

This was something that Nathaniel could not understand.

Walter, who was on the other side of the line, was also silent.

After all, Nathaniel was right.

When he was hospitalized because of the car accident, the hospital should have done a thorough check-up on him. So why didn't they find out that he had been poisoned?

Moreover, his physical examination report was done by Nathaniel's staff, so it was definitely real.

Did that mean that someone in the hospital erased his physical examination result on purpose?

"Walter, I just thought of another possibility."

Nathaniel's words surprised Walter a little.

"Tell me about it."

"Someone poisoned you when you were in the hospital, so they never found out about it previously."

Walter shook his head when he heard what Nathaniel said.

"That's impossible! During the whole time, Deborah was the one who took care of me. How could she poison me? After all, what would she get out of doing this? We've never used birth control too! If she was really the one who had poisoned me, wouldn't this affect our future baby too?"

As soon as Walter finished speaking, Nathaniel said, "I think you forgot about someone else."

"Who is it?"

"A woman who wanted to marry you, remember? A college student named Charlotte."

Suddenly, a woman's familiar face appeared in Walter's mind.

He frowned slightly at this thought.

"That's impossible, right?"

"Well, I can't answer that. You should investigate this yourself."

Then, Walter pondered for a moment and asked, "Does Mango knows about it?"

"I haven't told her for now. She's here on a trip, so I don't want her to be unhappy." Nathaniel said this dominantly.

Walter then whispered, "It's better not to tell her. Besides, I can solve my own problems. After all, she finally found the time to travel with you and the children, so I don't want to disturb her." "Look, I know how to take care of my wife, so you just have to take care of yourself. I promise not to tell her about your health condition, but you have to promise that you won't worry her. After all, I don't like it when she worries about you!"

"Got it! Urgh! Stop being jealous."

After Walter hung up the phone, his expression turned serious.

If there really was lead poison in his body, what would happen if he and his wife decided to have a child?

When Walter thought about this, he was worried.

They would never accept a child that had been poisoned. Besides, if that happened, Deborah's body would be affected too. Not only that, Deborah would be reluctant to part with this child. Hence, Walter was anxious too.

At this thought, Walter quickly went to Deborah's side and hugged her from behind.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

Walter had been in a bad mood these few days due to Carter's death. Hence, when he hugged himself from behind, Deborah thought that he was thinking about Carter again and asked in a low voice.

On the other hand, Walter hesitated to answer her.

After all, they had only been married for a few days. So, how could he know whether she was pregnant? Moreover, how should he tell his wife about this whole thing?

Hence, Walter was facing a dilemma.

Meanwhile, Deborah saw that Walter remained silent, so she turned to look at him. She couldn't help but tell him when she noticed his distress, "Everything will be fine. Believe me, alright? No matter what happens, I will be with you."

"I believe in you, but I don't believe in myself."

After all, Walter wanted a baby of his own more than anyone else.

He thought that he would never have the chance to have a baby anymore. He lost his parents, so he truly longed to have a child so that he could carry on the family bloodline. But right now, he was scared. Meanwhile, Deborah felt Walter's uneasiness and asked him with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"I want to show you something."

Then, Walter took out his phone and showed Deborah the physical examination report.

Deborah's face changed when she saw the report.

"How could this be?"

"I just got to know about this too. Deborah, we've never used any birth control. What if we have a

baby..."

Walter felt that he was really being cruel now, but he had to say it.

On the other hand, Deborah understood Walter's concern instantly.

"If it really happened, we have to do an abortion. After all, we have to be responsible parents."

Well, Deborah actually felt terrible.

She also wanted to give birth to Walter's child, but the current situation couldn't allow her to do that. Now, she could only hope that she was not pregnant so that she would not feel too upset.

When Walter heard this, he hugged his wife tightly.

"I'm sorry... Deborah! I'm so sorry. I didn't pay attention to it. Alas! I failed to protect you."

"You're so silly! What does this have to do with you? Do you know who did that to you?"

"I have a guess, but I am still not sure. Leave it to me, alright? I will give you a proper explanation."

Walter's gaze turned cold when he said this.

He became a playboy out of choice, but it didn't mean that others could hurt him and the people he cared for most.

On the other hand, Deborah was concerned about this issue. She touched her stomach and hoped that she was not pregnant. However, at the same time, she wanted to be pregnant, so she was bothered and worried.

"Dad will be cremated tomorrow. Are we going to have the funeral in Ocean City?"

Deborah continued to ask.

Walter paused for a moment, and he then nodded and said, "Well, my father was born there. Although he died in another place, I hope he can return to Ocean City. We will take father's ashes back tomorrow." They had just gotten married, but they had a funeral to attend. Thus, Walter felt guilty towards Deborah. Now, he even had lead poisoning, so what could he do to make it up to Deborah?

Meanwhile, Deborah could read Walter's mind, so he said, "I am your wife. When I met you, you were still a soldier. At that time, I was ready to be your wife. Since I was not afraid to be a wife of a soldier, what are you afraid of now? Don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, I will always be with you. We are husband and wife, as long as we work together, we can solve everything."

"Alright!"

Walter nodded and held Deborah in his arms.

"I don't want you to suffer, but things happened so unexpectedly. I was caught off guard, so you have to bear with me for the time being. When this matter is solved, I will take you out to make up for the honeymoon trip."

"All right," Deborah answered.

Deborah had no objection to Walter's decision.

After all, she truly loved Walter with all her heart and soul.

Meanwhile, Walter stayed with Deborah for a while before he went out again.

Well, he had his own connections as well.

Walter wanted to verify if there was really lead poisoning in his body, so he did another physical examination himself. However, the result was exactly the same as what Nathaniel showed him.

Who was the one who did this to him?

Did this have something to do with Carter's death?

However, he still couldn't understand what had happened.

Carter died out of a sudden, and he had left no clues for Walter. Hence, Walter could not find any information beh Carter's death other than the current condition of this body.

However, Michael found a person through the casino.

He had found a man called Deneon Zhang.

Beneon was about the same age as Carter.

He was a manager in the casino, and he usually served Carter when the latter visited the casino.

Michael looked into Beneon and found that the man was from Ocean City too. But, Beneon had left the city for here 20 years ago and he had never left here since then. However, Beneon's children and children were missing, so this was suspicious!

Well, there had been no news of them for so many years, but Beneon had never looked for them.

This was getting interesting!

When Michael continued to dig deeper into Beneon, Michael suddenly found that Beneon had crossed paths with Carter in Ocean City. Furthermore, this was the time when Sophia gave birth to Walter. Therefore, Beneon probably knew what happened between Carter and Sophia.

At this thought, Michael immediately ordered his men to search for Beneon and bring him back. As long as he could see Beneon, he believed that he could find out the truth.

However, Beneon might have known someone was looking for him. When Michael and his men arrived at his house, he had already run away.

Thus, Michael was in a bad mood because he

hadn't managed to find any clues!

"Search this whole place! We have to find something even if we have to tear it down!"

With Michael's order, all the men began to search the place thoroughly.

Beneon's house had nothing valuable, so they could see everything he owned at a glance. After looking around, they still did not find anything valuable.

Did he take everything when he ran away?

At this thought, Micheal suddenly felt a little annoyed.

Was he too late again?

He kicked hard on the chair in front of him. Then, he heard a 'click', as if he had opened something. When he looked clearly, the cabinet in front of him opened automatically and revealed a small safe inside.
