The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1408

"Isn't he performing surgery on the plane?"

Mango still remembered the news she received before she left, but when she saw Mateo being this nervous, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

"What happened?"

"We just received news that Tristan's plane was attacked. The plane crashed, and we've lost contact with them."

Mateo was very worried.

Tristan was the only son of his second brother, and his brother hadn't seen Tristan all these years yet. He wouldn't dare imagine what would become of them if something happened really happened to Tristan.

"I'll send someone to look for him."

Mango felt as if the blood in her body had become frozen.

Who attacked Tristan?

It would definitely not be Laborn as he didn't have that extra amount of time and energy, so who else could it be? Could it be Atlas?

If Atlas wanted to be the king of Angolla, he would not attack Tristan. Therefore, could it be the unknown force that targeted her and Nathaniel at the hot spring?

Who could it be?

Mango turned around and was about to ask the people of the Dark Night Empire to look for Tristan, but Mateo stopped her.

"I'll handle it. You'd better take Nathan back to Ocean City. I told you the news not because I wanted you to do something, but to see if you knew anything that would help me find out who is behind this." Mateo stopped Mango.

Although Tristan was important, he couldn't put Mango in danger either.

When Mango thought of Nathaniel's situation, she knew that she couldn't be wilful anymore. Thus, she whispered to Mateo what had happened in the Acker family's mansion.

After Mango finished, Mateo's face turned serious.

"You have no idea who is after you?"

"No. They are very cunning, and the people they sent to kill us die every time. We can't find anything."

"If that's the case, how could the two of you still act rashly when there's a threat? How could

Nathan do such a thing?"

Mateo's head started to spin.

Meanwhile, Walter couldn't stand Mateo speaking to Mango in such a manner. However, Mateo was Mango's uncle, after all, so he had no choice but to step forward and say, "Mateo, if I was there, I guess I would have done the same as well. There isn't time to make such detailed arrangements. Besides, they are weak and have no backup in Angolla. You and the army have already withdrawn, and it's already good enough that they had returned safely. As for Tristan, I think he would have had a way to survive. It's just that he might not be able to reach us yet."

"I hope that's the case. You two head back first, I'll look into this."

After saying that, Mateo turned and left.

Tristan was the eldest son of the Hans family and the son of his second brother. Mateo really did not want anything to happen to him.

Walter patted Mango's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't mind Mateo, he is just too worried about Tristan."

"I'm not jealous, don't think too much."

Mango smiled faintly and felt especially close to Walter.

"How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine. Don't you already know everything? Let's not talk about me anymore. What about you? You really impressed me. My cousin had become this bold, huh?" Walter reached out his finger to scratch Mango's nose. As he did this, Mango frowned.

"You're ruining my nose."

"Come on, your nose isn't fake, is it? Let's go. I'll take you to my wife. She misses you very much."

"I miss her too."

Then, Mango followed Walter and boarded the ship.

Soon, when they arrived at the place they and Nathaniel had agreed to meet, Mango saw Deborah. "Deborah, you've gained weight!"

After being in confinement for a month, Deborah had gained 10 pounds, but she looked good.

Deborah glared at Walter with a hint of annoyance as she put her arm on Mango's shoulder and complained, "You should have seen how your brother treats me. He made me drink soups that were without salt every time. I don't even know how I managed to drink them. If I don't, he'll glare at me until I do. It's too scary."

When Mango heard this, she let out a laugh.

"He cares about you."

"Whatever, I just don't want him to take care of me next time."

Deborah's expression amused Mango, causing Walter to be a little speechless.

"Was I that of a bully?"

"Don't you know what you're like? Anyway, I want to catch up with Mango, not you."

Deborah took Mango's hand and was about to walk into the cabin when she heard Walter say, "Don't do as you please. Nathaniel hasn't woken up yet. Mango has to go and check up on Nathaniel first." "That's not necessary. Bettany and Thomas are there. Nothing will happen to him. Deborah, is there any fruit onboard? Let's talk while we eat."

"Huh?"

Deborah was a little stunned and looked at Walter subconsciously.

Walter, however, was confused too.

What was going on?

They were all aware of Mango's feelings for Nathaniel. Besides, they had also experienced life and death this time. Nathaniel had survived, so why was Mango so cold and indifferent now? Then, Walter asked tentatively, "Mango, did you and Nathan argue?" "He's lying there like he's in a coma. How can I have a fight with him?"

Mango's words were a little sharp-tongued, but it made Walter more certain that something happened between them.

"He's just unconscious, not vegetative."

"So, it's useless for me to even go there now. Why don't I use the time to chat with Deborah instead? Right, Deborah?"

Mango smiled faintly, but Deborah still felt that something wasn't right.

"Why don't you take a rest? You must be tired coming all this way. You're injured too."

If Deborah had wanted to chat with Mango earlier, she didn't dare to do so now. Mango was clearly filled with anger and resentment, and although she treated them as she would usually, she had a very sharp tongue when it came to Nathaniel.

Right now, Deborah didn't know nor understand anything, so she felt that it would be better for Mango to go to Nathaniel first.

On the other hand, Mango didn't reject her either. She said faintly, "Alright, I am really tired. Deborah, there's a cook on your ship, right? Can you get me something to eat? Also, I want to have a cabin all to myself. I'm too tired, so I want to rest in peace.

Once the food's done, just bring it in for me."

After saying that, Mango didn't care about what Deborah and Walter looked like, pushed one of the cabin's doors, and walked in.

The cabin was quite clean, not that Mango paid much attention to it anyway. She laid down and closed her eyes immediately as she was utterly exhausted.

Seeing this, Walter frowned and wanted to ask further, but Deborah took him away and asked someone to prepare some food for Mango.

"Hey, why did you pull me away? Mango seemed upset."

"I'm not blind, so I can tell that too. But Nathaniel isn't awake yet, and she's so tired and injured. Are you sure you want to go and ask her what happened between her and Nathaniel now? Besides, she must have told you what she wanted you to know. Will she wait for you to ask her?"

Deborah looked at her idiotic husband and couldn't help but say a few words.

Walter was a little irrational when it came to Mango. This time, when he learned that Mango had come to the Trident Ocean with an unconscious Nathaniel, Walter was so anxious. He didn't even care that he was still detoxifying, he pulled out the syringe and began to arrange to come over immediately.

Deborah wasn't jealous, she just felt that Walter would go too far sometimes, and it wasn't a good thing for Nathaniel and Mango.

Walter looked at Deborah and recalled the anxious look on his face when he heard that something had happened to Mango. Besides, Deborah was aware of his feelings for Mango in the past, so he couldn't help but say, "Honey, don't get me wrong. Right now, I treat her only as my sister."

"I know, and I have never doubted you. It's just that, Walter, there are some things that we can't interfere with. I know that you're worried about Mango, and I'm worried about her as well, but she needs to recharge now. Whatever it is, let's just wait until she wakes up, alright?"

"Whatever you say, dear."

Walter nodded and took Deborah to their cabin.

Soon, the chef finished preparing the food and sent it to Mango's room. Mango wasn't fully awake yet, but she was indeed very hungry, so she picked up a spoon and ate without caring about her image. After she finished eating, she lay down and fell asleep again.

This counterattack was indeed a burden on her, not to mention that she was injured. If it weren't for her strong will, Mango didn't know if she could last until she met up with Walter and the others. On the other hand, instead of following them, Morgan was responsible for cleaning up the mess.

Mango knew that someone would take care of the rest, so naturally, she no longer had any burden. Besides, Nathaniel's surgery was very successful, and it was only then did she finally relax both mentally and physically.

Walter was still very worried about her and had wanted to come in to check up on her several times, but was dragged away by Deborah. Later, because he was really worried, he let Bettany come over to have a look. Bettany had said that she was just too tired, so everyone was relieved.

A day passed before Nathaniel woke up, and when he did, he was already at The Ye's Mansion. When he woke up and saw the familiar room, he was still puzzled and confused for a moment.

Thomas saw that he had woken up and quickly asked, "Mr. Ye, do you feel any discomfort? I'll go get Bettany. She went to rest not long ago."

After saying that, Thomas was about to leave, but he was stopped by Nathaniel.

"Where's Mango?"

His memories were coming back to him, and he recalled a few things in his mind. Among the memories, the clearest thing was Mango's furious expression.

It seemed that Mango was really angry at him this time.

Upon realizing that Mango was not with him when he woke up, Nathaniel's heart immediately tensed up.

Did his wife run away from home because she was angry?

Thomas didn't know what Nathaniel was thinking, but when he heard Nathaniel ask for Mango, he quickly said, "Madam is resting. Bettany said that this operation exceeded her physical burden. She was injured and is extremely weak now. She has been sleeping ever since we entered the Grey family's sea route. She hasn't woken up yet. It's been a day."

"What? Where's Bettany? I Mango alright? Can she sleep this long?"

Nathaniel struggled to get up as he said that, but unfortunately, he was seriously injured and couldn't get up at all. Pressure was put in his wounds because of his sudden movements, which made him grimace in pain.
