The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1486

"Is anybody here?"

Although Mango heard it, she was too exhausted to respond.

Nathaniel quickly shielded her from behind and pulled Zion into his embrace.

Soon, a group of people appeared while wearing gas masks and protective suits. Since their faces could not be seen clearly, it was difficult to identify their identity,

"Who are you guys?"

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was judging the situation. He probably wouldn't be a match for these people if he decided to fight time. On the other hand, Mango was completely drained out. Although Zion could help him, he was still a child, so he couldn't allow his son to take such a risk.

Just then, the other party walked straight up and captured the three of them without a word.

Nathaniel and Zion wanted to struggle, but they were stopped by Mango.

"Let's see what they are going to do. Anyways, it's dangerous here. Thus, it's probably a good idea to have someone take us out now."

Mango lowered her voice so that the other party couldn't hear it.

Therefore, they didn't resist. Instead, they directly followed those people from behind.

Nathaniel glanced at Mango and said, "My wife is not feeling well, so I'm afraid that she can't walk too much. Is there a stretcher for her?"

His question was a little whimsical. Hence, Mango and Zion were dumbfounded upon hearing this as they looked at Nathaniel speechlessly.

Unexpectedly, those people really took out a folded stretcher. Then, four people started carrying her. Even though they didn't say anything, their intentions were clear.

Mango and Zion were stunned for a moment, while Nathaniel remained silent. He picked up Mango and placed her on the stretcher before saying, "Thank you for your hard work." The other party nodded before carrying Mango into the forest.

Although Zion was puzzled, he didn't raise any questions. He followed closely behind Nathaniel and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Ye, we're heading towards the depths of the forest. Won't this group of people abandon us as bait if we encounter any other mutated species?" "Don't worry. If that happens, I will be the first to be thrown out. After all, you are too young to be eaten."

After hearing this, the corner of Zion's mouth twitched.

Hah! Nathaniel was indeed his father as he couldn't say anything nice.

The others seemed as if they had not heard their conversation and continued to walk into the forest in an orderly manner.

Meanwhile, Mango did not understand what this group of people was trying to do. She took a glance at Nathaniel, and he gestured her to calm down without saying much.

They walked for a long distance. Along the way, they even encountered several mutated animals. Surprisingly, those animals subconsciously retreated as they noticed their arrival as if those group of people was the leaders of the forest.

Upon seeing this, both Nathaniel and Mango pondered for a moment. They seemed to have guessed what was happening.

Finally, they saw a house in the center of the forest.

The house was beautiful. Since it was a primeval forest, the tree branches stretched to the window as if it was a natural hammock, so it looked like a countryside paradise Then, those people carried Mango and led the others into the villa.

It was a villa with three stories, and they were arranged in a row. Was there anyone living inside now?

After that, they were brought to one of the villas. Everything here was operated with advanced technology. Zion even saw several Als working instead of the servants.

He observed around and noticed surveillance cameras everywhere. It was a creepy feeling that someone had been monitoring them since they entered the door.

Zion frowned slightly and Nathaniel felt uneasy. At this moment, Zion suddenly reached out his hand and a virtual screen appeared in front of him. He quickly tapped on the code. Soon, the entire villa was out of power.

Although the backup battery was quickly installed, Zion still wanted to show to the other party that he wasn't a pushover. He intend to prove that he could even destroy the entire villa if he wanted. Meanwhile, Nathaniel gave him a thumbs-up without any hesitation.

Mango looked at them as a look of delight and relief filled her eyes. She was proud of her son's courage.

Suddenly, a clap of applause came from upstairs, which startled all of them.

Was the head of this place finally going to show up?

Could it be the mastermind?

Was it Sophia Liu's father?

While they were guessing, they saw a woman coming from upstairs.

However, Mango's heart trembled involuntarily upon seeing her figure.

She rubbed her eyes hard and see once again. The woman's face was covered in tears when she finally appeared in front of Mango.

Mango covered her mouth, and she didn't dare to speak or take deep breaths as she was worried that the scene in front of her was an illusion. However, she could not suppress her trembling heart and overflowing tears.

"You're already the mother of several children, and you're also pregnant now. Why are you such a crybaby?"

The other party said dotingly and even patted Mango's head.

Mango couldn't help but grab the other person's hand and wouldn't let go.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was also stunned, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

How could this happen?

The woman glanced at Nathaniel and said with a smile, "What's wrong? You're Mr. Ye, the president of a great company, but you're also stunned now?"

"Mom?"

Hearing this, Mango immediately threw herself into the woman's embrace.

It was warm!

She was alive!

But how could was this possible?

She saw Queena die in the fire with her own eyes, so how was the latter still alive?

"Are you really my mother?"

"What a silly girl! Don't you recognise me?"

Queena looked at Mango with a smile on her face as she said this. Her expression was the same as before.

Although Mango had too many questions, it was too late to ask them now. She just wanted to hold Queena tightly, in case everything in front of her disappeared suddenly.

Meanwhile, Zion was also surprised. He blinked his bright eyes several times as he looked at Queena.

Queena felt that the family of three was so cute. She wiped the tears off Mango's face and said softly, "You're such a crybaby! Why have you been crying so much after meeting me? Won't your tears flow even more once you meet you dad?"

"Huh? My dad?"

Mango suddenly froze when she heard this.

Queena smiled, but Mango had never seen such a smile before. It was a smile of happiness.

Just then, a man came down from the upstairs.

Mango knew very well that the person in front of her was her father, Dennis Hans. She recognised his face as it looked similar to Barack's.

But what was going on?

Didn't her father pass away more than 20 years ago?

On the other hand, Dennis looked at his grown-up daughter and couldn't help but feel sad.

"Are you Mango? I'm your father. My name is Dennis."

These words felt so surreal right now, and Mango couldn't believe that this was happening.

Mango quickly turned around and glanced at Nathaniel and said, "Pinch me hard! It feels like I'm dreaming. I feel like I'm hallucinating."

In fact, Nathaniel felt the same way too.

He said with a wry smile, "Why don't you give me a pinch? I can't believe my eyes."

When Zion saw them like this, he didn't say anything much. Instead, he walked straight to Dennis and poked the back of his hand with his tiny hands. When he felt warmth, he blinked his eyes again and asked "Are you really my grandfather? Didn't you die many years ago? Did you actually come back to life?"

Dennis suddenly laughed after hearing this question.

This child was really cute.

He squatted down and picked Zion up before saying softly, "I didn't come back to life. I just never died."

"But why did you hide yourself for so many years? Don't you know that my mommy missed you so much?" Zion was dissatisfied about this.

Hearing Zion's words, Queena couldn't help but pity Dennis.

"It's not your grandfather's fault, alright? There's nothing he could have done."

"Mom, what the hell is going on? Didn't you and dad died in the fire? Why..."

Mango could still remember the pain and despair she had experienced back then.

After that, Queena looked at Mango and held the latter's hand before sitting down on the sofa. Then, she asked the robot beside her to pour them a glass of hot water.

She said softly, "When I saw your father's body, I thought he was dead. But when I hugged him, I felt that there was still warmth on his body. Although it wasn't very apparent, he didn't feel like a dead person, so I was alerted."

As Queena said this, she looked at Mango again. When she saw that Mango was calm, she continued, "If your father was still alive, he would have been trapped on Koiton's island for years, living just like a dead person. Therefore, I thought that I had to get your father out of that island in order to save him. It was difficult to bring you away back then, let alone your father, who was sick. Therefore, I came up with a plan to escape. I buried myself in the sea of fire to confuse everyone. After all, everything would be destroyed after the fire, so no one would find out the truth even if they wanted to investigate this. I really didn' have the chance to take care of you. In fact, I knew that you would have a way to leave, but your father needed me."

There was a hint of guilt and self- blame in Queena's eyes as she said these words.

However, Mango shook her head and said, "I don't blame you, mom. If it was me, I would have done the same thing back then. But how did you all escape from that island?"

"There is an exit under that island, and I think that it was probably Laney's backup plan. Oh, well, no matter who made it, we could escape urgently because of it. Back then, the situation was urgent. I wasn't sure of your father's situation, so I hurriedly take him out of the island to be treated. After coming out, I hid this secret from everyone, including you, and allowed everyone to think that we were dead not to attract anyone's attention. In this way, we managed to discover the truth behind all this."

Dennis's heart ached upon hearing Queena's words. Meanwhile, Mango glanced at Dennis. Although he was her father, he was still like a stranger. Then, she looked at Queena again and asked, "What about your illness? Have you recovered? How are you doing now?"
