The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1487

Queena smiled happily as she spoke.

"I'm fine, but I was never sick. Someone poisoned me instead."

Upon hearing this, Mango was slightly stunned. Suddenly, the speculations she had in the past had resurfaced. In fact, she had already guessed that Queena was not suffering from cancer, so her expression darkened when she heard Queena's confession.

Bettany was the one who diagnosed Queena with cancer. Although Bettany was currently in Angolla, she felt somehow uncomfortable despite knowing that Bettany had promised that she wouldn't betray Nathaniel again.

"Who poisoned you?"

"I'm taking my time to investigate this matter, and there's no need to hurry. Stop asking questions already. Aren't you guys hungry?"

Queena obviously didn't want to talk about it.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel looked at Mango's pale face and couldn't help but feel terrible for her.

"Why don't you make us some food, mom? We're all drained out from the Dark Forest. Zion suffered his way here as well. His body must've reached its limit."

Hearing Nathaniel's words, Queena looked at Zion again. The latter was indeed looking extremely tired. Earlier, Zion was on full alert and was acting cautiously because he didn't know who they had encountered. He could finally relax a little after knowing that those people were actually his grandparents.

"Grandma, I want to sleep for a while."

Zion's soft voice rang out. After hearing this, both Mango and Queena felt sorry for him.

"Okay, I'll take you to bed now. Mango and Nathan, you guys should have some rest too. Let's talk about it later. It's safe here, and no one can come in."

Nathaniel nodded after hearing what Queena had said.

Then, Mango looked at Dennis, who was sitting in a distance. Although Dennis had been silent since the start, his loving gaze made Mango feel deeply attached to him.

She had a lot to ask, but she didn't know where to start.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel held her hand and whispered, "Take a break first. Everything will be fine once you wake up."

"All right."

In fact, Mango was truly exhausted. She listened to Nathaniel's words and went to the resting room that Queena had prepared.

After returning to their room, Mango whispered, "Nathan, is it true that my mom is still alive? She..."

"It's true. Your father is here too. I know that you're still in disbelief, and you have many unanswered questions in your head. However, you need some sleep right now. There will be plenty of time for you to ask about this once you wake up."

"Can you stay by my side?"

Everything felt so surreal to Mango right now. Hence, she could only feel at ease with Nathaniel by her side.

"Alright."

Nathaniel sat down while answering her.

Mango took care of his wound. Soon, the two of them went to bed.

Although she was very tired, she was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep.

However, she felt her feel gloomy.

"Why can't I fall asleep?"

Upon hearing her complaints, Nathaniel couldn't help laughing.

"How do you feel? Do you need your mom to find a doctor for you tomorrow?"

"No, the baby in my belly is fine. Somehow I felt stronger after the challenging trip. Maybe this is the best gift God gave to us."

Mango placed her hand on her belly with a delighted expression on her face.

Although she had come because of the incident between Desmond and Tristan, she had never imagined to meet her deceased parents here. This was simply too surprising. "Nathan, do you think it's destiny that brought us here?"

"Perhaps."

In fact, Nathaniel was also in disbelief. He was filled with joy upon seeing how excited Mango was.

There were not many family members left from the Ye family and the Hans family, so he felt lonely sometimes. However, it was good to have some elders in the family.

Mango continued excitedly, "Also, my dad! Didn't those people take out my dad's organs to research? Why is he still alive? Perhaps they replaced his organs?"

Nathaniel burst into laughter as he reached out to flick her forehead. Then, he said with a smile, "Have you gone crazy? What on earth are you thinking about? Can a person still be alive after losing all his organs? Aren't you too addicted with sci-fi films?"

"But I just can't believe that my father is really alive in front of me. Perhaps it's a robot, isn't it?"

"Well, it's possible."

Nathaniel was teasing her.

However, Mango's eyes widened at once when she heard this.

"A robot? No way! No wonder he only smiles at me and doesn't talk much."

Nathaniel was speechless when he saw that Mango was truly convinced.

"What's wrong with you? Have you lost your brain or something?"

"Maybe I lost my mind because of you!"

Nathaniel was speechless by her response because she had dragged him into this mess suddenly. Alas! He really couldn't upset his wife.

"Okay, okay. Put those questions away and have a good sleep first. Okay?"

"Alright."

Although Mango was excited, she couldn't resist the tiredness in her body. Hence, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. On the other hand, Nathaniel felt relieved and soon fell asleep as well. They slept until the evening, so it was dark outside when they woke up.

Meanwhile, Mango noticed that Nathaniel was no longer by her side.

She turned on the bedside lamp and scanned around the room while in a daze. After sitting on the bed for a while, she suddenly recalled what had happened today.

"Mom!"

Mango suddenly thought of Queena.

She was afraid that it was just a dream. Therefore, she got out of bed quickly and put on her slippers before rushing out of the room.

In the living room, Nathaniel was playing chess with Dennis while Zion was playing games on his mobile phone. Meanwhile, Queena was cooking in the kitchen. It was truly a heartwarming scene. Mango didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that everything in front of her would turn into an illusion and disappear.

She just stood at the stairs and looked down at them as tears immediately filled her eyes.

She had expected to reunite with her family, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.

The first one to discover Mango was Zion.

He was tired from playing the game and was about to stretch his neck when he noticed Mango standing there with excitement in her eyes. Therefore, he couldn't help but worry. "Mommy, are you awake?"

Zion's words woke everyone from their trance, so they couldn't help but stop.

"Mango, are you awake?"

Nathaniel raised his head with a faint smile, and he wanted to get up and helped Mango downstairs. Just then, Mango turned around and noticed Dennis looking at her. His gaze was filled with love and kindness, so she couldn't help but cry out, "Dad."

She thought that this would sound very awkward, but the words just came out naturally.

Dennis was slightly stunned when he heard this, and he was touched.

"Yes, alright."

His voice was low, Mango felt that no other man sounded better than him other than Nathaniel.

Jus then, Nathaniel walked over and held her hand. He asked softly, "Are you hungry? I was going to cook for you, but Queena asked me to play chess with Dennis. However, I lost three games."

It sounded like he was begging for help and felt wronged.

Mango immediately smiled when she heard this.

"You're so weak, aren't you supposed to be amazing, Mr. Ye? Aren't you a genius? I can't believe that there's something that you don't know about!"

"How can I win against your dad? What if Dennis became unhappy because I won the game against him? You know, it's been years since we've met."

Nathaniel felt wronged as he said these words.

Mango's lips curled up slightly after hearing this.

"Is that all you got?"

"What else can we do?"

Mango and Nathaniel whispered to each other as they walked into the living room.

Meanwhile, Zion quickly moved out of the way and said, "Mommy, sit here."

Mango looked at him and noticed that he was full of energy, so she was a little relieved. However, he was still playing games when she glanced over again.

"Don't play too long. It's not good for your eyes."

Mango did not object to Zion playing computer and his mobile phone. However, he should have some discipline. After all, he was just a five years old child, and he should take care of his eyes. "Got it, mommy. I'll stop playing now."

Then, Zion replied directly to his comrades in the game, "My mommy asked me to get some rest. You guys can continue to play."

After that, he directly went offline, not caring about them at all.

On the other hand, his teammates were all dumbfounded.

"What the hell! Are we going to do this? How can we play when the assassin is not here?"

Someone among his teammates finally realized what had happened and asked.

Meanwhile, Evangeline frowned and answered, "Forget it, I'm not playing anymore. It's no fun."

After that, she left the game.

The others were speechless.

However, Zion didn't care what the players thought at all. He quickly got up and said, "Mommy, should I pour you a glass of water?"

"Okay, thank you."

Mango smiled and replied.

After that, Zion hurriedly ran away.

On the other hand, Mango felt a little nervous at the sight of Dennis.

"Are you guys playing chess, daddy?"

"Yeah, do you want to play? Let's have a go."

In fact, Dennis was really clueless on how to get along with his daughter.

He hadn't met Queena for more than 20 years, and he thought he was single. However, he didn't expect himself to have a daughter and a nephew who was already this big. Thus, he was flustered. However, he could tell that Mango was extremely delighted upon knowing that he was still alive. It made him feel touched and comforted.

Mango wasn't very skilled in playing chess, but she still knew the basics. Despite so, she was still a lousy player.

She smiled awkwardly.

"Urgh! I'm so bad at this."

"It's okay. I'll teach you."

Dennis decided to end his game of chess with Nathaniel as he said this.

When Mango saw him like this, she couldn't say anything else and sat down.

After seeing this, Nathaniel got up with a smile and went to the kitchen to help Queena to prepare for dinner.

Meanwhile, Zion returned to his room after giving the water to Mango.

As soon as Zion returned to his room, his phone rang. When he saw Evangeline's friend request again, he paused for a moment and accepted it.

After all, Zion was impressed by her gaming skills, and they collaborated perfectly in the game.

Then, he had just accepted the friend request when he received Evangeline's message. "You're so good at playing the game! Are you interested in joining my team?"
