The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1495

Dennis was slightly stunned. He was distressed when he saw Queena's suspicious gaze.

"What do you really think of me?"

These words startled Queena.

Who was he?

He was upright, determined, and never bowed to evil forces. These were all his advantages. However, why did Queena feel uneasy when Dennis asked her this question?

"I feel that the way you look at him is different. Dennis, I don't wish to doubt you, nor do I want to ruin your relationship with Desmond. Furthermore, Desmond is Mango's good friend. What are your intentions towards him?"

After so many years, Queena didn't know what kind of torture Dennis had suffered on the island. However, she knew that her words today would hurt him.

"I'm sorry."

"You don't need to apologize to me."

Although Dennis was a little sad, Queena's current state made him feel bad.

He sighed and looked at Desmond, who was asleep before whispering, "Desmond is Mauricio Blu's son."

"How is it possible? The person who was caught by Jose is not Mauricio at all, and at that time he was..."

"I know."

Dennis said these words softly.

"At that time, Jose didn't catch Desmond's father, but his good friend, who took care of Desmond and his wife for him. To protect the safety of Mauricio, he did not deny it when people mistook him for Desmond's father."

After hearing Dennis's words, Queena was a little confused and asked, "But Jose majored in genetic research. Can't he find out that the man isn't Desmond's father?"

"That man's blood type is the same as Mauricio's."

Queena immediately understood what was going on after hearing this.

"I see."

Desmond's biological father had studied autopsies for Dennis, and he had never seen his wife and children until he died. Now that Desmond was in such a situation, Dennis wanted to rescue Desmond no matter what the consequences were.

"So Desmond and Denver are brothers?"

"Nah, they're cousins."

Dennis's heart was filled with uneasiness.

He used to think that he was omnipotent, but later, he discovered that he was nothing. After that, he couldn't even protect his closest family and best brothers. What else could he do?

How could he tolerate such a thing happening again now that his brother's son had become like this?

"I understand, but I still have a question. Why is Tristan's blood able to counteract Desmond's violence?" When Dennis heard Queena's question, he whispered, "There's something special about Tristan's blood." "What do you mean?"

Dennis coughed a little, and Queena quickly poured him a glass of warm water.

He took a sip and said, "When Barack and Magnolia were dating, someone poisoned his food. Laborn originally planned to use Magnolia to poison him in secret. However, Magnolia knew about this, so she took some antidotes for him. However, something happened to him before the toxins in his body were cleared. Subsequently, when they brought Magnolia back, she found out that she was pregnant. Hence, Tristan was born with poison in his body. He was covered in bruises and was barely breathing when he was born. Bettany said that he would probably not survive, so Magnolia almost went crazy when she heard this."

"After all, Tristan was the only child of Magnolia and Barack. Hence, Magnolia did everything she could to ensure his safety back then. Thus, she ordered Bettany to steal a syringe from Laborn's research institute, and I heard that the drug was a newly developed genetic test. At that time, Tristan was at the verge of dying, and Magnolia was desperate. So, she injected the syringe into Tristan's body."

"In the end, Tristan came back to life, and the toxins on his body were cleared. Then, due to time constraints, Magnolia sent him to the Acker family and secretly ordered Bettany to take care of him. Bettany found that Tristan was powerful and had an excellent physical strength than most people. Furthermore, Magnolia had done some experiments and failed to determine his limits. Fortunately, other than this, Tristan didn't suffer from any other negative reactions. Later, when he returned to the army, our country's doctors gave him a full-body examination and even took his blood sample for study. He found no problem with his blood, and he was no different from an ordinary person. His DNA was not affected, but his blood type had changed, so he became the only person with unique blood. However, his blood type could neutralize the violent elements in Desmond's body. Therefore, I suspect that Kolton also contacted Laborn in those days. Otherwise, all of these situations are too much of a coincidence!"

After hearing Dennis's words, Queena suddenly became nervous.

"Would Tristan be in great danger if others found out about this?"

"Yes, so we can't let anyone know, not even Tristan himself."

Dennis' brows furrowed tightly when he heard this reply. Then, he said in a low voice, "Tristan has to live well and be even more careful. Otherwise, no one will be able to give him a blood transfusion. Many doctors are studying his blood and trying to see if they can get his blood out of his veins. Unfortunately, they have all failed."

Queena's expression also became serious after hearing this.

She suddenly thought of something and said, "Have you been in contact with the military recently?"

"Yes, the superior has decided to transfer me to the scientific research group thanks to my great experience in this field. Also, Tristan is one of the people that the superiors have ordered us to protect well." Dennis looked at Desmond, who was sleeping, and continued, "Furthermore, Desmond is another person that we have to protect. Both of them rely on each other. Hence, if we can get Desmond to use his power for good, he could be the secret weapon of our country."

"Desmond is not a weapon. He is a person! He never had a choice since he was born!"

Queena suddenly became distressed as she exclaimed.

"Isn't Desmond's father a martyr? Did the country give him an official status? What about Desmond's mother? Isn't she associated with the military? She died so miserably, but did the government support her? Poor Desmond! He was forced to accept all this when he still a baby. Do the leaders hope that he will become one of the country's weapons? Can't they think about this poor child for once?" Queena instantly started tearing up as she said this.

When Dennis saw how Queena still remained kind the past twenty years, he couldn't help but pull her into his embrace.

"How do you know that Mauricio is not a martyr?" "What do you mean?"

Queena looked at Dennis with tears in her eyes.

On the other hand, Dennis felt heartbroken.

He did not expect Queena to cry.

"After the matter of Kolton broke out, I asked my superiors and to grant Desmond's father a title as the martyr. Desmond's pension has not been paid because we couldn't find him during that time, but it has been included in the fund. Even the country has compensated the Blu family by recruiting Denver to join the army. Unfortunately, Denver's legs were injured. Hence, I then suggested that you bring Anaya back. Anyway, Anaya has some connection with the Blu family. I shouldn't be telling you these yet, but I'm afraid that something unexpected will happen after seeing Desmond's current situation." After hearing Dennis's words, Queena suddenly became nervous.

"What do you want to do? Dennis, no matter what happens, you can't leave me alone and risk your life at this moment."

Dennis smiled and replied, "No, I won't. By the way, what's with the poison in your body?"

"I don't know. My health was poor at that time, and Bettany was the one who treated me. She told me that I had cancer, and she told my father the same thing. I didn't know why she said that, but it was said that Bettany had been working under Atlas Fang. I didn't know whether she said it out of force or did it voluntarily. So I should ask Bettany again and maybe find some clues. She is Nathaniel's subordinate now so she won't lie to us."

Dennis became deep in thought after hearing what Queena had said.

"Anyway, you should get some rest. The poison is still in your body. We don't know if there are any side effects of the new medicine where the doctor had studied, so you need to hold on for a while." "Nah, I'm fine. I've lived for so long. I don't have any more worries and regrets after reuniting with you and our daughter."

"That's nonsense! We've wasted too much time. You have to live healthily in the future and travel around the world with me. After these matters are settled, I will resign and accompany you on a trip." Upon hearing this, Dennis plastered on a gentle smile.

Queena leaned her head on his shoulder and said softly, "I'm happy as long as I am with you and the children."

"I will not allow anything to happen to you with me by your side. In fact, I haven't seen my brother.

Don't you want to meet your sister, Magnolia and your father too? He will be overjoyed if he knows that you are still alive."

Queena listened to the sweet voice of her beloved husband and couldn't help smiling.

"I believe everything will get better in time. We will have a peaceful life after all this."

"Yes. So don't give up easily."

After all, Dennis was afraid that Queena would not be able to hold on.

Queena could not help but smile when she heard this.

They were whispering sweet nothings to each other. Meanwhile, Nathaniel dragged Tristan into his laboratory and looked at the lab equipment before whispering, "Have you contacted Priscilla?" Tristan paused slightly, and then said with some jealousy, "Why do you care about my wife so much? Nathaniel, do you have any inappropriate thoughts about my wife?"

"What on earth are you talking about! She's my sister!"

"No! She is your sister-in-law."

Tristan said with an annoying smile.

Nathaniel was irritated when he saw Tristan's expression.

"Urgh! You really deserve a good beating. Do you want me to give you another kick?" However, Tristan stopped and said, "Stop it. I'll prepare some medicine for the Mango." Then, he found some herbs and began to fiddle with them.

On the other hand, Nathaniel stared at Tristan as thoughts ran through his mind.

Tristan and Desmond weren't biologically related, so why was his blood able to neutralize Desmond's violence? What was the hidden reason behind this? Moreover, Tristan liked Priscilla so much, and he even knew that Priscilla was extremely worried about him. Thus, shouldn't he first contact Priscilla to explain the situation? Why didn't he do this?
