The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1391

Tristan woke up from his sleep abruptly. Even though there was only Priscilla in the room and he was relaxed, the loud thud of her body falling to the ground made him open his eyes suddenly as his expression instantly sobered up.

Then, he looked around the room and saw Priscilla unconscious on the ground with blood slowly flowing from her nose. Her face was quickly covered in blood and it had stained her collar.

Tristan quickly got up and went to retrieve a medical kit. Then, he took out a needle and inserted it into one of Priscilla's acupuncture points, which stopped the nosebleed finally.

After he picked up Priscilla and placed her on the bed, he ordered someone to bring medical equipment over to give her a body and head examination.

Priscilla had said that she had lost two years of her memory, and if that was true, it must be because she had damaged a few nerves.

Tristan quickly identified the scars from Priscilla's brain surgery, as well as the nerve that had stopped the surgery.

His face suddenly darkened.

What she said was true?

Did she really forget him?

Tristan felt a stabbing pain in his heart as he thought about this.

How could she forget a memory as deep as that? How could such a surgery go wrong?

Priscilla must have wanted to recall something, which ripped her old injuries open and causing her nose to bleed. If it wasn't stopped, the previous surgery would have gone to waste. Thinking of the consequences of internal bleeding in her head, Tristan's face darkened further.

"Take these outside. No one is allowed in without my permission."

"Yes, sir."

Then, the servants moved all of the equipment out.

Tristan looked at the unconscious Priscilla and had lost all of his drowsiness.

If it weren't for Priscilla, he might not have been able to survive through these years. Back then, the moments with her were the time of his life, but to Priscilla, he was just something who could be disposed of whenever she liked.

However, he knew that he couldn't blame Priscilla.

The doctor who was in charge of the surgery back then had already chosen a way that held the least damage, and he had even done it very well. If Tristan wasn't in the memories Priscilla had lost, he would have made the same decision too, but Tristan felt very uncomfortable deep down.

He couldn't help recalling the summer of that year.

It was the first time that he was entrusted by his family to handle some businesses, and he did not expect to encounter terrorists on the way. In order to protect Teagan, he had asked Teagan to leave with the goods first, while he stayed to hold those people back. However, in the end, he was defeated and kidnapped.

Tristan had thought that he was screwed back then, but he didn't expect to be saved by a team of people, which there was a beautiful woman among them. Later, he found out that her name was Priscilla, and she was a member of the Special Task Force.

The Special Task Force belonged to the army, and at that moment, he was very happy, and even felt that Priscilla was extraordinary. He was a little moved, but he didn't expect that this woman only looked sweet from the outside, but was actually a violent person on the inside.

Some of them were kidnapped during the operation back then, and Priscilla had risked her life to rescue that person. She did not heed military orders and had acted alone.

Tristan had wanted to follow her out of fear that something would happen to her, but she had shouted at him.

What did she say at that time?

Oh, right.

She had said, "Why are you, a child from a rich family who doesn't know anything, getting in my way? You said you wanted to help me? Then please don't get in my way and return to where you came from. You can't help me with what I have to do! F*ck off!"

It was the first time that Tristan had been shouted at like this, and it had also come from someone he fancied.

His self-esteem was greatly hurt, but he also knew that going with Priscilla was suicide for him. So, he left quietly and immediately contacted Teagan to mobilize the Acker family to help Priscilla. However, he was still too late.

When Tristan came back, the battle between the two sides was over, and the battle was so fierce that it tore at Tristan's heart and soul.

He dug around for news about Priscilla and learned that the person she wanted to rescue was Nathaniel. He had been saved successfully, but

Priscilla's life was hanging by a thread.

At that time, there were not many doctors in the military, and very few of them could perform surgery. Therefore, Tristan had shown his medical license and volunteered to perform surgery on Priscilla.

It was a surgery that made Tristan tremble with fear whenever he thought about it. If he hadn't been skillful and had forced himself to calm down and treated Priscilla as an ordinary patient, he wouldn't have known if he could have performed the operation successfully that night.

After that, he had collapsed and could not get up for a long time. Teagan, who saw him like this, was scared to death, thinking that he was injured too.

However, after he had rested, he heard that Nathaniel and Priscilla were actually a pair. After what had happened, it was said that Nathaniel and Priscilla were about to get married too.

Such an outcome made Tristan very upset.

Although he was not a good person, he was still a gentleman to Priscilla. She had saved his life while he had given hers back, which made them even.

Although Tristan still felt unpleasant, at least he was able to give himself an excuse and a reason to give up on her.

Because he was needed to assist in the investigation, he had to stay at the base for a few days, and unexpectedly, Nathaniel had left a few days later, leaving Priscilla here.

Tristan did not know what Nathaniel had said to Priscilla, and on that day, she had found him and wanted him to drink with her.

How was it possible for a seriously injured patient to drink with him, a doctor?

However, he was no match for Priscilla, and he could only watch her snatch the bottle and force him to down the contents.

Later, Priscilla had gotten drunk and had cried very sadly. She had laid on his shoulder and asked him if she was beautiful. What did Tristan say back then?

He had said, "You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen."

However, these words caused Priscilla to cry even harder.

Since she was so beautiful, why didn't Nathaniel like her? Why didn't Nathaniel want to marry her? When everyone thought they were going to hold a wedding or an engagement banquet, Nathaniel had run! He ran away without saying a word, but it was also his way of telling Priscilla that he was not interested in her.

Was there anything more embarrassing than being rejected by her unrequited love?

Priscilla had had too much to drink and had cried bitterly. Tristan did not know how to comfort her, and he was being forced to drink at the same time too.

That night, both of them were mad and drunk.

They talked a lot about each other's backgrounds and their difficulties and had even told each other things other people didn't know about. After pouring their hearts out, they felt like the stone that was sitting on their hearts was suddenly removed, which was very relaxing.

Later, Priscilla had hugged Tristan directly and said with great pain and sadness, "Hey, will you have me?"

At that time, Tristan immediately sobered up by these words.

"What did you say?"

"You're a man, aren't you? Why are you so cowardly? You like me, don't you? Why are you still hesitating when a girl you like wants you to have her? Tristan, are you stupid?"

Then, Priscilla threw herself at Tristan.

Tristan was completely stunned, and when he came to his senses, his clothes had already been ripped off by Priscilla. Her perfect body quickly stimulated his senses and under the influence of alcohol, they had a one-night stand.

When he woke up the next day, Priscilla was no longer there. However, Tristan saw the bloodstains that she had left on the bed.

It had been Priscilla's first time!

Tristan didn't mind if Priscilla was a virgin or not, but he was still excited to be her first time. There was a thought that was arising in his mind at that time.

He wanted Priscilla!

He wanted to marry her!

She was the fifth princess of Angolla, wasn't she? Then, he had to work hard to be a man who was enough for her and propose to her.

It didn't matter if Priscilla liked Nathaniel, as he would slowly remove this man from her heart. He didn't care whether it would take ten or twenty years, as long as he would get to marry her.

Tristan could not wait to tell Priscilla about this, but he had searched the entire base and still could not find her. Later, he found out that she had fled after finding out that they had had a one- nightstand when she woke up.

No one told Tristan where she went, and his identity wasn't enough to know Priscilla's whereabouts. Even after Tristan mobilized all his connections, he still could not find where she was. Later, the situation back home became unstable, and Tristan had to go back to Angolla, but he had left something for Priscilla.

He had left her a necklace he had worn since he was young. It was a token of love from his father, Barack to his mother, Magnolia. After his mother had given birth to him, it was the only thing she had left for him when she handed him to the Acker family.

Tristan gave this to Priscilla as a token of promise, that he would marry her in the future.

However, when they reunited, he didn't expect her to have forgotten all about him and was still thinking about Nathaniel.

Even if Nathaniel was already married and still had no interest in her, she was still obsessed with him. Every memory about Tristan and her had vanished along with the operation.

Tristan regarded it as a great irony.

Over the years pretending to be the Acker family's son, women swarmed around him like bees, but he had always reminded himself that he was a man with a marriage engagement. He had always kept that night's intimacy in mind and had always known that he had to be responsible for taking Priscilla's virginity. But now, the person whom he should be responsible for had forgotten everything that happened between them.

What should he do?

Let her go and give her freedom?

At the thought of this possibility, Tristan felt an unspeakable pain and heartache.

How could he do that?

Even if the woman Tristan liked did not love him, and even if she had forgotten him, he would not allow her to leave him again.

Glancing at the unconscious Priscilla, Tristan sighed and rubbed his aching temples gently. Then, he came to her bed and reached out to unbutton her shirt.

He should change her clothes first. Although she looked quite pleasing to the eye in his clothes, they were not fit for a girl after all. Besides, she was now unconscious, which would make her feel uncomfortable. It was better to change into pajamas.

With this in mind, Tristan didn't hesitate to make a move.

He and Priscilla were considered husband and wife long ago, and now, he had no plans to let her go either. Therefore, there were some things that they had to face sooner or later. Even if she couldn't remember anything, he had to let her get used to his existence.

As he thought of this, Tristan smiled faintly, but his hand suddenly stopped, and he had a surprised and complicated expression on his face.
