The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1451

Haniya told everyone to keep silent, then she answered the call and put it to speaker mode.

Suddenly, Victoria's voice could be heard from the other end of the line.

"Haniya, are you interested to know Desmond's secret? If you want to know about it, come to the place I'm going to tell you. Don't let Desmond or anyone else know. Otherwise, I won't reveal it to you. This secret can determines whether he lives or dies, so it's up to you whether to come or not."

Victoria hung up the phone after speaking.

Haniya felt anxious after hearing what she had said.

Could this secret determine whether he lived or died?

Was this for real?

However, this could also be an excuse for Victoria to lure her into a trap.

Brenda was anxious as well when she heard that the secret could determine whether Desmond would live or die.

"Well, it doesn't matter whether it's real or not! You still have to go and check it out. What if it's true?"

After all, Brenda genuinely liked Desmond.

Desmond was so eye-catching that she couldn't look away, especially whenever he had a cold look on his face. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him. However, Desmond was not interested in her at all. Furthermore, he even fired her from Dark Night Empire because she said something about Haniya.

If Desmond hadn't called her personally and asked her to work for Haniya, she would never have come.

She didn't come here because she liked Haniya. Instead, she was hoping that by working with Haniya, she would have the chance to see Desmond. She was happy as long as she could see him, and that was all she wished for.

Haniya's brows furrowed tightly when she saw this.

She was also worried about Desmond's health.

On the other hand, Brenda did not know that Desmond had been experimented on, but Haniya did. Furthermore, Haniya knew that people like him usually had shortcomings or unstable elements in their bodies. Hence, Victoria's words were like a ticking time bomb that made her feel anxious and worried.

However, the mission Mango had given her not too long ago reminded her that Victoria wasn't a simple person, at least for now. That was why Mango mentioned that it was alright to let Desmond know she was investigating Victoria, but she couldn't reveal anything else to him.

Was Mango trying to protect Desmond?

Or did Mango know something?

"Stay here. I'll go see madam."

Just as Haniya finished her sentence, Brenda said, "Are you afraid of her? What can an old woman do to us? You don't care about Captain Blu at all! Urgh! I don't understand why he treats you specially." Did he treat her specially?

Haniya paused a while after hearing this.

Perhaps Desmond treated her differently indeed, but was this love?

After all, Desmond did not admit it, didn't he?

Perhaps he was only giving her some response because she had been trying so hard to impress him.

At this thought, a trace of emotion pierced through Haniya's heart, but she looked at Brenda calmly and said, "Remember this. You are my subordinate, and I am the one issuing orders. If you act without my order, I will punish you."

"Haniya, you..."

"You can try me you don't believe me."

Well, Haniya didn't care about Brenda's feelings. She then turned around and walked up the stairs to Mango's room.

"Madam, I'm Haniya. I need to talk to you."

"Come in."

Mango was having morning sickness and vomited quite badly, so she sounded weak.

Haniya hurriedly walked in after hearing this. When she saw Mango looking so weak, she couldn't help but step forward and pat her back.

"Your morning sickness started so soon?"

After all, Haniya was a nurse and had some experience in this area. Hence, Haniya was surprised that Nathaniel wasn't by Mango's side then.

"Where is Mr. Ye?"

"He received a call from Angolla not too long ago. Hence, he didn't know about my morning sickness and thought I didn't sleep well. I'm not sure what's wrong with this child, but he started torturing me so early in the morning. Ugh..."

Mango had just finished speaking when she started throwing up again.

Therefore, Haniya quickly ran over to the bathroom and grabbed a basin before passing it to Mango.

Mango needed bed rest, and her situation required special care. Then, Haniya couldn't help but ask, "Madam, why don't I take care of you now on?"

"It's fine because we're not short of nurses. What I need is someone we can rely on. Haniya, I brought you in personally, so I hope that you will have a brighter future ahead."

Mango retched for a moment and felt as if she was on the verge of collapsing while saying these words.

Then, Haniya quickly found a cushion and placed it behind Mango with mixed emotions inside her.

She was a nurse, and it was not the time to make Mango worry. However, should she tell her about Victoria?

"I know you have something to tell me. Go ahead."

Mango pointed at the cup of water.

After that, Haniya quickly went forward and poured Mango a glass of warm water.

Mango finally felt a little better after drinking some water.

Then, Haniya thought for a moment and whispered, "Victoria called me." "Wow! She took action this quickly?" Mango did not seem surprised at all. Her stomach was churning violently, and she was about to puke again.

What the hell?!

Why was her pregnancy so difficult this time?

She had never suffered so much when she was pregnant with Rita and Zion.

Haniya quickly said, "Madam, why don't I go and make you something to eat? Do you want something sour, sweet, spicy, or something else to ease the symptoms? We can't do much about the morning sickness, and we can't use medication to relieve the symptoms as it depends on one's body."

Haniya pitied Mango when she saw how much the latter was suffering in her pregnancy. She didn't understand why Mango had to risk her life for a second pregnancy when she already had three children. Plus her health was not very good.

When Mango heard the mention of food, she paused for a moment and suddenly craved for something sweet.

"Now that you mention it, I do feel like eating something sweet, but you don't have to make it for me. Just tell the chef to prepare some for me. Did you just say that Victoria called you?" "Yes. She asked me to meet her and siad that she has a secret about Desmond that could determine his life and death. This is what I wanted to report to you."

After saying that, Haniya hurried out.

As Haniya walked over, Brenda asked quickly, "How was it? What did Madam say? Should be we go over now?"

"Stay put here."

Haniya glanced at her and went straight to the kitchen.

"Chef Zhang, Madam wants to eat something sweet. Don't cook too much as her preference might change during pregnancy, so please bear with it for a while."

Haniya had an excellent attitude, so other people felt pleasant.

Chef Zhang replied, "Don't worry Ms. Bell. I'll prepare it right away and be on standby at any time."

"Bring it to her when they're done."

"Alright."

Haniya nodded and then left the kitchen.

Brenda thought that Haniya was doing something important, but she went to the kitchen to ask the cook to make dessert. However, Brenda didn't hear who the dessert was for. She only felt that Haniya's smile was pretty annoying.

Urgh! Haniya looked ordinary, but why was her smile so contagious? It seemed that everything around her became warm with her smile.

Brenda didn't like that feeling.

"Hey, when are you leaving?"

Brenda stopped Haniya and said, "Let me tell you. If you are not going, I'll go on my own..."

"Try me if you dare."

Haniya's eyes looked cold as she said this threat. The warmth from her smile earlier had faded, and the atmosphere turned cold immediately.

How could she have such aura!

Brenda involuntarily shut up and took a step back when she saw this.

Haniya glanced at her and then went upstairs.

Meanwhile, Mango leaned against the edge of the bed, and her complexion was terrible. She looked in the mirror and was afraid that Nathaniel would be worried again when he saw her. How was the situation in Angolla right now? Nathaniel had been on the call for almost half an hour.

Mango was still quite worried about Tristan and Priscilla. However, Nathaniel did not allow her to call them as that would expose their whereabouts.

Hence, Mango could only worry but couldn't do anything about it.

"Madam, you'd better not look into the mirror now. The more you look at it, the more unhappy you will be."

Haniya took the mirror from Mango's hand while saying this.

Then, Mango sighed and said, "Right now, I feel like I'm doing nothing except for eating and waiting to give birth soullessly! If you don't let me do anything, I'll be bored to death."

"Madam, you can paint. I heard that you are very good at drawing, right?"

Haniya's pleasant smile immediately made Mango feel better.

"That's right. I'm not sure what happened recently, but I'm suddenly inspired. Let me design a sports car!"

"Congratulations, Madam."

Haniya smiled faintly and tucked Mango in while saying this.

Mango knew Desmond's influence on Haniya and how much Haniya loved Desmond. Thus, when she found out that Victoria was using Desmond as bait to call Haniya, Mango intentionally changed the topic. She wanted to see Haniya's ability in handling the pressure and if the latter could keep her emotions under control.

Well, Haniya was worried. However, Mango's health was more important right now, so she already knew what she should do.

On the other hand, Mango was very satisfied with Haniya's performance.

Haniya was calm and wise, so her emotions couldn't affect her easily. Thus, she was definitely a different person than she used to be.

"What other training did Desmond give you on the island apart from physical training?"

Mango suddenly asked. Then, Haniya paused for a moment before answering, "Well, he taught me how to handle emotional stress and other endurance training. Furthermore, he taught me how to respond during emergencies and also how to prepare myself mentally."

These were essential lessons.

After hearing her answers, Mango nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "If you have any questions, you can ask now."

"Madam, is there something that you know about?"

Haniya was very anxious, but she knew how much Desmond meant to Mango.

Mango would not ignore Desmond if his life was in danger. Hence, the only reason why she could be so calm now was that she had insider information.

Then, Mango looked at Haniya and nodded.

"Yes, I know something as I received some news. However, there isn't any evidence, so I can't be sure. What I need you to do is find proof of my speculation."

"Okay. Then, what's your guess?"

Haniya clasped her hands together without realizing it as she asked this.

Although her psychological endurance allowed her to remain calm on the outside, her heart was in chaos, and she was worried.

Was there a problem with Desmond's health?

When Haniya thought about his unusual blood, she couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

After that, Mango looked at Haniya and whispered, "Desmond's gene cells have mutated."

Haniya was stunned upon hearing this, and her mind was full of worries when she heard the word 'mutated'.
