The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1237

Nathaniel's temper was no longer as violent as before. Mango knew Nathaniel's previous action simply because he was afraid of hurting her, but she just didn't want to talk to him. What made him think that she had to forgive him easily right after he had scolded her in that way?

Mango took the water from Nathaniel, but she did not speak to him.

She unscrewed the cap and took a sip while looking in the direction of the operating room, she spoke nothing. Apparently, she had assumed Nathaniel as a nobody to her. Nathaniel somewhat smiled bitterly.

His wife looked indeed lovely sometimes and there were times which she was stubborn. It seemed that she should be in a cold war with him at the moment.

It was seemingly good though, yet it was elementary that the Golden Lancehead Venom in his body would stop its agitation from the stimulation of Mango's remarks.

Nathaniel neither explain further nor spoke. He sat there silently with Mango, both were waiting for the light of the operation room to be extinguished.

Mango had thought that Nathaniel would say something, but he did not utter a single word after Mango waited for him, she was no longer in rage. After all, their son was still lying inside the operation room. When the doctor opened the door of the operating room, Mango immediately stood up.

"Doctor, how's my son?"

"He's fine, it's lucky that his wound has slightly deviated from his heart. Otherwise, we don't have the confidence to operate on him. His body is slightly feeble now as he hasn't recover from the anesthetic. He's still unconscious but will soon recover after a period of rest."

The doctor then heaved a sigh of relief.

He couldn't recognize Nathaniel, but the doctor could tell from his imposing temperament and Baxter Alliance behind him.

Being protected by those men from Baxter Alliance, it was reckoned that the man must have an extraordinary status. The doctor could felt at ease when they managed to rescue their kid.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel ordered his man to send Zion back to the headquarters.

As their identities were relatively sensitive at the moment, it would be very inconvenient for Zion to stay in the hospital.

Once returning to their base, only then did Mango found out that there was a room being changed into a ward equipped with all sorts of medical device. Nathaniel even asked Mascot to come back at once. Mango did not know the code names of those men, thus Nathaniel patiently explained to Mango.

"Mascot is a doctor, he has developed excellent medical skills, and even keeping his pace with Emberly and Genevieve. However, Mascot has not always been within our country. He has been roaming around the rural areas all year round and seldom comes back unless there's something urgent. When I learned that Zion was injured, I have given him a call. At that time, he has booked a ticket and returned here. Thus, as long as Mascot comes back, he will be able to bring Zion back to life from the jaws of death, I only believe in Mascot here."

Mango nodded.

She had heard that Nathaniel didn't go to the hospital immediately when he woke up and found out that Sisella had hurt Zion. Instead, he went to deal with Sisella. She had initially thought that Nathaniel didn't care about Zion's life, but it seemed that she was mistaken.

Just as Nathaniel said, his trusted subordinates had rushed back while Zion had been rescued, therefore he had no qualms to deal with Sisella.

However, Mango still didn't say anything to him.

Nathaniel knew that Mango was enraged, he didn't explain anything either and went to take a look at Zion in person.

Zion's face was pale, but he was breathing steadily, he was doing good.

It was lucky that he was looking fine.

When both Rita and Wisdom heard that Zion had returned, they ran out of the room in succession.

"Daddy, mommy, can we go in and have a look at Zion?"

Rita's eyes were filled with worry.

Mango held her in arms and whispered, "Let's wait for Zion to wake up, he needs to get some rest now."

Meanwhile, Wisdom took a glance at Zion from outside and felt relieved upon seeing Zion's condition.

"Rita, Zion is fine. Let's keep quiet and let him get some rest first. Well pay him a visit when he wakes up later, okay?"

Rita believed in Wisdom's words.

She nodded.

Rita noticed that there was something wrong with both her parents, their emotions were seemingly awkward.

"Daddy, had you quarrelled with mommy?"

Nathaniel was stunned for a moment before he nodded and said, "Well, daddy made her angry." "Why don't you hurry up and comfort her then?" Rita felt that her daddy was not a stupid person. Why couldn't he coax her mommy at the moment? On the other hand, Mango blushed.

Why did they need children to teach them how to reconcile from their quarrel?

Nathaniel looked at Mango and said in a low voice, "Daddy don't know how."

Rita rolled her eyes.

He didn't know how to impress her?

Was he kidding?

Who was the one who cross-dressed himself to coax mommy?

He was clearly giving an excuse as he mentioned that he had no idea how to do it.

"Daddy, why don't you buy Mommy a bouquet of roses? Get her some jewels perhaps? Women would normally love them."

Rita's remarks made Mango slightly twitch her mouth.

"I don't like those."

Mango spoke in a fit of pique.

Only then did Rita feel that the matter was kind of serious.

How did daddy offend mommy that caused her to talk relentlessly towards him in front of them?

Rita kept winking at Nathaniel.

Nathaniel felt that his daughter was way too heartwarming.

He whispered, "Help me ask her what does she like? What can I do to make her cool off herself?"

Rita was just about to speak when she heard Mango replied coldly, "I'm not able to cool off myself regardless of what he did. After all, my kindness has been regarded as ill-intentioned and I don't deserve him to do so."

One could hear the irony from her.

Rita was completely speechless at the moment.

Were the two of them truly quarreling?

Was she required to pass on their messages?

Why did she feel like they were actually lovey-dovey instead?

Wisdom coughed and said, "Rita, I suddenly remember that we haven't finished our puzzles, why don't..."

"Yeah that's right, we have to return to our room and complete our puzzles."

Rita jumped out of Mango's embrace and whispered when she passed by Nathaniel, "Daddy, you're a gentleman. You should say sorry to mommy. If she still doesn't forgive you, then you should bring her into the room, there's nothing that can't be resolved by getting laid. If thing doesn't work once, then you have to make it twice."

"Rita! What nonsense are you talking about?"

Mango almost passed out.

Was she really her daughter?

Was that really from a five-year-old child?

Come on!

Couldn't she consider their feelings at least?

Rita grabbed Wisdom and ran away as soon as she heard the wrath from Mango.

Swoosh!

Mommy was scary!

It was better to leave it to daddy.

Mango's chest heaved rapidly as she watched the two of them fled in hurry. She took a glance at Nathaniel before she turned around and left.

In fact, she didn't mean to blame him. How could she forgive him without getting an explanation or an apology?

It was no way for her to say, "I'm sorry, Nathaniel, I'm being self-righteous all this while and made you worry. Please don't be angry with me, okay?"

Although it didn't matter, Mango still felt slightly aggrieved.

Well, it was reckoned that Nathaniel must have spoiled her badly.

However, considering the fact that they were in the main hall with so many subordinates watching over them, Nathaniel felt somewhat embarrassed even if he intended to apologize to her. Mango felt that returning to her room would be the best solution to solve their problem.

As long as she went back to the room followed by Nathaniel, the cold war between them was going to be over even if she didn't receive any apology.

However, Nathaniel also wished to follow her when Mango lifted her foot and left the main foyer.

Rita was right.

He was a grown man that needed to apologize first. Even if Mango ignored him, he would have to compromise himself to seduce her. He couldn't possibly ruin his blissful family just because of Sisella, right? As soon as he lifted his foot, he felt that something was wrong with his body.

He could feel the manic aura abruptly roamed in his body, and then it quickly gushed towards his chest.

Nathaniel staggered before he quickly grabbed the back of the sofa beside him, only then could he barely stand on his own.

"All of you get out now!"

He said in a low and cold tone.

The subordinates was familiar with Nathaniel's unpredictable temper over those days. When they thought of the terror and ruthlessness coming from him, all of them nearly left in a flash. Nathaniel knelt down on the ground with a "plop" sound soon after everyone withdrew from the room. Cold sweat was dripping down from his forehead and his expression was terrible.

It hurt!

The heart-wrenching pain bit down his heart, as if it wanted to devour him whole.

Even Nathaniel, who was very resilient, couldn't help trembling.

Beads of sweat dripped onto the floor, drop by drop.

Nathaniel bit his lower lip and tried hard not to make any sound.

At that moment, Mango had just returned to her bedroom when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest. She grabbed onto the door handle with a trace of panic and uneasiness flashing across her heart. What happened?

Mango tried her best to hold on to herself, she quickly opened the door and walked out. Only then did she discover that Nathaniel was kneeling on the ground with his head lowered in discomfiture, trembling and suffering in tremendous pain.

"Nathan."

Mango gave a growl in her heart and quickly ran towards Nathaniel.

"What's wrong?"

At that time, their cold war and grievances disappeared while Nathaniel, who was in extreme pain, could only be seen in front of her eyes.

"Stay away from me!"

Nathaniel abruptly raised his head, but he had startled Mango.

His eyes had suddenly turned golden, and the cold and stern expression on his face shocked Mango that she barely stood up straight.

"Nathan, you..."

"I told you to stay away!"

Nathaniel gnashed his teeth and shouted. He seemed to use up all his strength and said word by word, "Listen to me, Mango. Go back to your room now and lock the door. No matter what happens outside, don't open the door. Go now!"

Mango looked at him, whom she was deeply in love with was suffering in great pain, with the abnormal golden pupils in his eyes and the blood jade in front of his chest that seemed to be growing deeper in color, Mango firmly shook her head and said, "I'm not going anywhere! I'm your wife! Regardless of what you become, you're still my husband!"

After finished her words, Mango walked step by step towards Nathaniel determinedly.

Nathaniel seemed to be spooked, the moment he saw Mango walking towards him, he abruptly stood up and retreated.

"Mango, can you listen to me just once? Do you even know what I'm most afraid of?"
