The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1466

Haniya was stunned when she heard this.

She knew the situation in Angolla now. People usually wouldn't want to go to Angolla now for fear of being affected by the situation there, but Desmond wanted to do so. Hence, Haniya was worried and curious at the same time.

"Do you think you can go now? Also, what will you be doing there? I've heard that the country is on high alert, and the civil war is intense. How do you plan to go there?"

Desmond saw the concern and worry in Haniya's eyes and could not help but smile. On the other hand, Haniya couldn't resist his bright smile.

"Hey! I'm being serious. Why are you laughing?"

Desmond beamed even wider when he heard this.

"Are you worried about me?"

"Isn't that a given?"

Haniya felt that Desmond was behaving like an idiot. But since it did not affect his handsome appearance, she could still let him be.

Meanwhile, Desmond did not know what Haniya was thinking. He stopped smiling and patted her hair before saying, "I suspect that Jose's supporters are related to Angolla." "Does that mean you suspect Laborn?"

"It might be Atlas too, but it doesn't matter. After all, I can only find out the truth if I go there."

Haniya was a little worried after hearing what Desmond had said.

"But they're after you! Won't you be going into the lion's den just like them?"

"But I can't wait here passively for them to come after me. Well, you know what happened today. Madam's body can't withstand any more commotion. If today's incident were to happen again, Madam might no be able to keep the child. Mr. Ye also hasn't recovered, so I would only bring them danger if I continue to stay in Ocean City."

Haniya pitied Desmond when she heard these words.

"I know what you mean. You want to take the danger away from here."

"Yes. Madam has done so much for me, so I can't repay her kindness by putting her in danger. Besides, Tristan is at Angolla. I believe that if I go there, we can help each other out, and I can even find out abou my body's secret. I want to grow old with you and even die after you as I don't want to leave you alone in this world. This is my wish."

Perhaps this wish was nothing to others, but it was extremely difficult for Desmond.

Haniya knew that Desmond's body had a high metabolism, and he could probably not last long. Therefore, she felt heartbroken when he heard the wish.

"I'll go with you."

"Stay here. It's too dangerous there."

Desmond instinctively refused.

Haniya said with much determination, "I have to go there with you exactly because it's dangerous! Your condition doesn't allow me to leave your side for even a second. No matter what happens, I want to be with you. I want to face everything with you. Mr. Ye is here, and so are Merle and Ned. You have made the right decision by bringing back Merle. If we don't solve our problems in Angolla, it would be an underlying threat for Madam and the others. If so, I would be making the right choice but going with you.

Desmond knew that although Haniya looked frail and weak, she was stubborn.

He nodded and said, "Okay. Go back and pack your things. I'll go out to run some errands."

"Are you going alone? You better bring some men with you. After all, you're such an obvious target, so I'm worried that they would come for you."

Haniya was still worried, so she said this.

Desmond nodded in reply after hearing her words.

However, as Desmond watched Haniya walk towards the Ye's Mansion, there was reluctance and yearning in his eyes.

Haniya was his sunshine and his warmth, but he could not bring her along.

He knew that if he hadn't said that earlier, Haniya wouldn't have left not leave his side.

Perhaps this time they would be separated for eternity.

Alas! He had been too careless.

If he knew that his body was in such a condition, he would never touch Haniya. A nice girl like her shouldn't follow him because he had a hopeless life. Maybe he didn't deserve to have happiness.

However, he was still grateful to God because he had managed to spend a short time with Haniya.

Desmond only hoped that even without him, Haniya could find someone who would bring her happiness in the future.

There was a bitter smile on Desmond's face at this thought, and then he called Nathaniel.

"Mr. Ye, I'm ready. Haniya is going back. I hope you and Madam will take good care of her in the future."

Nathaniel frowned slighting when he heard what Desmond had said.

"Take care of your own love. I agreed to your plan, but that doesn't mean that you can go ahead and die there. Desmond, you are a man. No matter what happened to your body, you are a man. Since you've taken Haniya, you should take care of her yourself. We can't help you take care of her for a lifetime. Your trip there is risk, but I have to say, your safety is your priority. If you can't do it, don't go. I shall go instead."

After hearing what Nathaniel had said, Desmond felt awful.

"Why are you going? You haven't recovered yet. What about Madam?"

"That's not what you need to worry about. I agreed with your plan and cooperated with you. Furthermore, I also informed Priscilla and Tristan. But you need to put yourself first. If you can't guarantee your safety, then we shall suspend this plan."

Nathaniel said that very firmly.

A warmth flowed through Desmond's heart when he heard this.

He knew Nathaniel's personality well. Hence, he was glad that he had a friend and superior like Nathaniel.

"Well, then please help me take care of her for the time being, Mr. Ye."

"Be careful then."

"Alright."

After Desmond hung up the phone, he looked again in the direction where Haniya left, and then turned away and left with resolution.

He was reluctant to leave Haniya, but he needed to pave the way for his and Haniya's future.

Perhaps he couldn't be an average person, but he would try his best to be as normal as possible and spend the rest of his life with her After all, he would not live a long life. Hence, to him, Haniya would be the person that he wanted to chase after for the rest of his life. Desmond then led a team and pursued Jose while following the markings that his subordinates left for him.

The markings led them to a more remote place. Thus, Desmond's subordinates asked worryingly, "Captain Blu, do we need to request backup? I think the markings are leading us into the mountains." Desmond frowned when he heard this. He also knew that they were in a dangerous situation, but his mission had been risky from the start.

"Go back and request backup. Leave four of you to stay with me."

Well, the enemy would spare them if they saw that they only had four people, right?

Desmond thought so, his subordinates were worried.

"Captain Blu, aren't four men too little? Besides, we could call to ask for backup."

"There's no signal here."

Desmond had looked at his phone before coming, and there was no signal here. Perhaps it was because they were in the mountains, or maybe the signal was blocked by someone.

No matter what, the other party's intentions were obvious. They hoped that he would be left alone so that it was easier to take him down.

Suddenly, his subordinates discover this problem as well.

"But Captain Blu, it would be too dangerous if only four of you remain here!"

"You guys should move quickly then. There should be a phone booth at the intersection ahead. After you make the call, come back quickly. I've made a rough guess. If you run fast enough, it will take no more than ten minutes. We can still hold on for ten minutes."

Desmond had planned everything well.

When the subordinate heard about his plans, he thought for a moment and left with the rest without hesitation.

On the other hand, Desmond then looked around and whispered, "No one is allowed to make a move without my permission."

"Got it."

Desmond was also unsure what the outcome of this situation would be. The best solution now would be to go into the mountains. But if he were to do so, it would be obvious that he was luring the enemy into coming out to capture him.

What he needed to do was to infiltrate into the enemy's headquarters instead of arousing their suspicious.

Suddenly, they heard footsteps all around them.

Desmond immediately was alert.

"Be on your guard."

Desmond then took out his pistol, and the other four men were also in full alert.

They thought that the enemy would engage in battle with them, but unexpectedly an electric net fell from above. Before Desmond and the others could react, the electric net, which had a large current running through it, fell on them and trapped them within.

"Argh!"

Shouts of agony from his four subordinates made Desmond a little angry. But unfortunately, he was also unable to withstand the electric current and passed out immediately.

He had miscalculated!

The other party was really despicable and had used loathsome means.

As Desmond fainted, Jose walked out from the vicinity.

"Take Desmond away and leave the others. Their men will come back soon, so hurry up."

Jose used to be a coward and was afraid of his life, but he was a different person now. Now, he was only indifferent, and anyone could tell that he was obsessed with Desmond by looking into his eyes. In his opinion, Desmond was the best experimental product of his life.

There was no other person in the world who could come up with such a non-human, right

At this thought, he smiled triumphantly and quickly turned off the electric net. Then he asked someone to drag Desmond into the car and quickly went up the mountain.

There was a private plane parked on the mountain. After Jose brought Desmond onto the plane, he gave Desmond an injection as he feared that Desmond would wake up suddenly. Then, Desmond lost all consciousness.

Meanwhile, Haniya ran back to the Ye's Mansion, and she heard the servants say that Mango was looking for her. When she thought of Mango's current physical condition, it didn't seem appropriate for her to leave now. Hence, she still went to Mango's room.

"Madam, are you looking for me?"

Haniya tried to avoid Mango's gaze as she said this.

On the other hand, Mango looked at Haniya, and she felt bad for her.

After all, Mango was the one who brought Desmond and Haniya together. Nathaniel didn't tell Mango about his plan beforehand and only mentioned it a while ago. Mango was furious, but she also understood that Nathaniel had his reasons for doing so.

Also, she heard that this was a plan proposed by Desmond, so she understood Desmond's thoughts.

After all, Desmond was now working for a better future, and he was no longer lifeless. However, the downside to this situation was that Haniya would feel more miserable.

Alas! She knew that Haniya was worried, but the latter couldn't do anything, and she understood these emotions well.

Meanwhile, Haniya felt a little uneasy when she saw Mango's meaningful gaze.

"Madam, do you have something to say to me?"

"Come and sit here."

Mango patted the edge of her bed and smiled while saying.

Haniya paused for a while, but she still walked over and sat down.

After that, Mango held her hand and whispered, "Haniya, do you trust Desmond?"

"I do."

After hearing Haniya's firm reply, Mango knew how deep her feelings for Desmond were. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Urgh! She hated Nathaniel right now! Why did he leave this task to her?

Mango cursed in her heart, but a smile rose on her face.

"Then you should trust in him until the end. No matter what decision Desmond makes, you have to trust that he will return! He will return safely!"

When Mango said those words, Haniya's expression instantly changed.
