The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) -
Chapter 1483
Mango was experiencing stomach cramps, but she held it in.
"Have you found Tristan's body?"
No one dared to say that Tristan was dead in the past few days. They were afraid that it would cause Lebanon and Priscilla to be upset. Although the relationship between Tristan and Lebanon wasn't officially announced yet, Priscilla was still the princess. Therefore, Tristan was still the son-in-law of the king of Angolla. Hence, everyone was grieving now that the tragedy had happened to Tristan.
Now that Mango had said those two words, the guards and maidservants all looked at her and anxiously with their heads lowered. They were afraid that it would anger Lebanon.
In fact, Lebanon was also saddened by the news. Although he refused to admit that Tristan was gone, he still responded to Mango's question.
"We haven't found him yet, but Prissy found one of his legs."
"A leg? Is there a DNA test to prove it?"
Mango didn't want to believe it. However, Lebanon was stunned after hearing this.
"Huh? A DNAtest?" "Yeah! Otherwise, how could you conclude that the leg belongs to Tristan?"
Lebanon suddenly realised something was wrong.
She was right! How could a pair of pants be enough to prove that it was Tristan's leg?
"I'll go and find Prissy now."
As Lebanon was about to run out, he was stopped by Nathaniel.
"Well go with you."
Priscilla should be emotionally unstable right now. She would probably act recklessly against Lebanon's words regardless of whether he was the King of Angolla.
Meanwhile, Haniya bit her lower lip and stood there silently. She was in an awkward situation now because Desmond was her boyfriend.
"Follow me."
Mango held Haniya's hand as she said these words.
Haniya nodded and suppressed the sadness in her eyes.
Then, the group of people went to the Acker family.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel looked at Mango worriedly and asked, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
Mango replied in a low voice. Her stomach felt a little uncomfortable, but she could endure it.
Then, Nathaniel glanced at Bettany. Hence, Bettany gave Mango a quick check-up and gave her some medicine.
The bitter taste of pills spread in Mango's mouth as she swallowed those pills.
If this had happened in the past, Mango would not have been able to endure it. However, she held the pain in for Tristan's sake.
When Nathaniel saw that Bettany didn't say anything, he was finally relieved.
Teagan was about to go out when they arrived at the Acker family's home. He quickly saluted when he saw Lebanon, but the latter stopped him immediately.
"It's fine, we're brothers, so you don't need to mind the etiquette. Where's Prissy?"
"She went to the Dark Forest and hasn't come back yet."
In the past few days, Teagan had seen Priscilla running into the Dark Forest all day long. He really could not imagine what would happen! What would she do if Tristan was gone?
She was calm and silent, but the atmosphere was suffocating. Although she did not scream or cry her eyes out, Teagan would prefer her to express her emotions.
"Where's the leg that Prissy has found?"
"It was stored at her bedroom in a crystal coffin."
Teagan said in a low voice, and his eyes were a little teary.
"She has been guarding that broken leg for a few days, and she refused to eat or drink. If we still can't find Desmond, I'm afraid she is about to fall sick if this continues."
Haniya knew what Priscilla was going to do with Desmond. Now, she really didn't know what to say as they were all women, so she couldn't tell whether Priscilla was doing the right thing. However, it seemed that Priscilla's feelings for Tristan were really deep.
Meanwhile, Haniya did not know how to repay Tristan's death.
"Take us there."
Once again, Mango opened her mouth.
Teagan was a little hesitant when he heard this order.
"Prissy doesn't allow anyone to come near to the
coffin. I..."
"I won't object if she wants to guard Tristan's body, but we have yet to prove that the broken leg belongs to him. If not, why is she blaming herself?"
Mango pushed Teagan away as she spoke.
After knowing Mango's identity and body condition, Taegen didn't dare to stop her. However, he was perplexed by Mango's words.
"That pair of pants was personally embroidered by Prissy, so it can't be wrong. Why are you suspecting it?"
No one answered Teagan's question. Perhaps everyone was hoping that the broken leg was not Tristan's.
After that, the group of people quickly entered Tristan and Priscilla's bedroom.
In order to preserve the broken leg, the temperature in the bedroom had been adjusted to the lowest. Therefore, once the door had been opened, they couldn't help but shiver. Hence, Nathaniel quickly took off his coat and put it on Mango.
"Let me go in. It's too cold inside, so I'm afraid that your body can't withstand it." "Bettany, go and see if you can get some DNA samples."
Mango did not allow Nathaniel to enter. She did not dare to look at it, nor did she want to admit that it belonged to Tristan. After all, she refused to believe any speculations before the scientific data came out.
Her brother was so powerful that he could even survive under the torment of Laborn. How did this happen so suddenly?
Furthermore, the reason behind Desmond's sudden violence was still a mystery, but they couldn't find any clues about it.
After that, Bettany glanced at Nathaniel. Once Nathaniel nodded his head, she took her equipment and walked in.
Soon, Bettany came out without destroying the furniture inside.
Then, Mango looked at Lebanon and whispered, "Can we please take your sample for the DNA test too?"
"Sure."
After that, Mango didn't follow Lebanon back and directly stayed at the Acker family's residence.
Lebanon was still a little worried and called the best doctors over.
The test report would take at least 24 hours, so Nathaniel sent someone to prepare Mango some food. However, Mango had no appetite. "Eat something, please. Your body can't stand any more suffering! We're already worried about Priscilla! Are you trying to make it worse?" Nathaniel looked at her with a concerned expression.
Meanwhile, Mango glanced at him and knew how he felt. Therefore, she forced herself to eat something, but she immediately vomited. Bettany hurriedly explained when she saw this, "It should be her morning sickness."
At first, Mango had been experiencing the same symptoms a few days ago, but it had already stopped. Now that things had turned out this way, Bettany examined her and found that there was nothing abnormal about her health.
Nathaniel was perturbed when he noticed that Mango was having a low appetite. He was worried for her health, so he couldn't help but ask, "Where is the kitchen?"
"Over there."
Teagan pointed to another room while answering.
"I'll make you something to eat."
"Nah, you don't need to do that."
Mango wanted to reject, but Nathaniel had already
left.
Soon, Nathaniel came out with a bowl of noodles.
Mango didn't vomit after she finished eating, and Nathaniel finally let out a sigh of relief.
Just then, Priscilla returned. She was stunned when she saw Nathaniel and Mango.
"Why are you guys here? Mango, didn't you need some rest?"
Mango looked at Priscilla, and the latter had lost a lot of weight since they last met. Her eyes were wearied and bloodshot, and she had a haggard appearance right now." "Priscilla, Tristan will feel distressed and worried about you if he knows how you're coping right now."
Upon hearing this, Priscilla immediately feared up.
"Really? It would be great if he were here. I'd rather he rush back after seeing me in this state."
"Don't talk nonsense."
Mango scolded her, but she felt upset at the same time.
"I will definitely find Desmond to avenge Tristan."
Priscilla's words made Haniya a little anxious, but the latter did not know what to say.
"I'm sorry, Madam. Look, I'm sorry about what happened to Mr. Acker. I apologize on behalf of Desmond."
Haniya lowered her head and sincerely apologized.
However, Priscilla said coldly, "Do you think apologies is enough to make amend for the mistakes he's done? What if I kill Desmond and say that I'm sorry?" Haniya was taken aback when she heard this.
On the other hand, Mango had rarely seen Priscilla acting so rude. Even when she had treated Mango as a love rival, she had never reacted this way.
"Hey, Priscilla."
"It's useless to say anything more. I don't care what you say about me as long as Tristan is fine. However, his current state was still uncertain. Your boyfriend, Desmond Blu, is a murderer. Don't you think it's ridiculous for you to say sorry to me? We're talking about someone's life here, so an apology isn't enough! You should thank me that I'm still rational about this matter because I didn't drive you out of here!" Priscilla glared at Haniya furiously as she was about to tear the latter into pieces.
Then, Mango quickly pulled her back and whispered, "You can't be certain that Tristan is dead just because of a broken leg. What if that broken leg isn't his?"
"I made those pants myself!"
"So what? It's just a pair of pants. I have already asked someone to do a DNA test on it. We'll know the results by tomorrow. If the broken leg is not his, it means that is he's probably alive. If that happens, wouldn't it be useless for you to make enemies out of everyone here? Also, you should hurry and eat up or get some rest so that you can plan for the next step."
Priscilla was stunned by Mango's words.
"Are you trying to say that the broken leg doesn't belong to Tristan?"
"I'm just trying to tell you that there's a possibility. Besides, how could you make a decision this quickly? Prissy, I know that you love Tristan so much, but I believe in Desmond. He won't easily get into trouble." Perhaps Mango was saying those words to comfort herself, but it was obvious that Priscilla had heard it.
"But they all died miserably. Tristan, he..."
"You can't be sure that he is dead before you find his body! You are his wife, so you should have confidence in him, right? Listen to me, go have some food and a good rest. Everything will be fine once you wake up."
As Priscilla looked at Mango's tender eyes, she finally relaxed a little.
"Is it possible for him to still be alive? I couldn't enter the Dark Forest as many animals were blocking the way. I was afraid that they would attack our people if I went in, so..."
"You should have faith in him and relax. We will be by your side no matter what the result is. In fact, he's not only your husband, but he is also my brother, right?"
After hearing this, Priscilla finally burst out in tears. She was crying her heart out, so everyone felt sorry for her.
