The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1607

"What is it?"

Thomas's voice trembled as he said this.

Suddenly, he grabbed Nathaniel's hand and asked nervously, "Does this have anything to do with Rainie?"

"I just want to ask you one thing. Are you willing to ignore Rainie's wellbeing for the sake of the child?"

Upon hearing this, Thomas was immediately agitated.

"How is this possible?"

"If you have to pick between the child and Rainie, which one will you choose?"

Thomas was immediately put in a difficult position when he heard this question.

His obsession and dedication to having a child were beyond everyone's imagination, but his love for Rainie was sincere. This was the truth.

Then, Thomas frowned and said painfully, "Do I have to choose? Can't I choose both?"

"No, and this is how life works. You can't have everything you want. Thomas, you are greedy."

After that, Nathaniel sighed and patted him on the shoulder before whispering, "Rainie went back to Angolla with Mango, and Tristan has examined her condition as well. I heard that she had been chronically poisoned. She also began to cough blood, but the hospital couldn't diagnose her condition. Alas! No one knows how long she can live."

After saying that, Nathaniel left.

He had said all he wanted to, and it was up to Thomas to choose.

The news was a huge blow to Thomas. He stood in a trance as Nathaniel's words kept echoing in his mind.

"She was chronically poisoned, and she began to cough blood."

These words were like a curse as they kept lingering around his ear.

Thomas suddenly felt guilty and regretful. He knew he had been a total jerk!

After all, he felt sorry to Rainie from the moment he wanted a child. He also knew that she had suffered a ton because of his actions. In fact, he had wanted to seek justice for her. He thought it would be more appropriate to deal with Emory after she had given birth. However, he didn't expect Rainie to already be in such a critical condition.

Rainie, who was once cheerful, fiesty and full of righteousness was actually at the verge of dying?

That couldn't be!

How was this possible?

Thomas caught up with Nathaniel and stopped him directly.

"Mr. Ye, are you lying to me?"

However, Nathaniel narrowed his eyes and said faintly, "What would I get out of lying to you?"

Nothing at all!

Thomas had everything he ever dreamed of because of Nathaniel. Although he worked hard, Nathaniel's support allowed him to live a well-off life with his family.

He obviously believed in Nathaniel and was confident in their years of friendship. After all, they had been through ups and downs together. He knew that Nathaniel would definitely not joke about these matters. So was this true?

Thomas felt as if someone was torturing him as a coppery taste came up his nostrils. He was caught off guard and spat out a mouthful of blood, so Nathaniel was startled.

"What the hell are you doing? Are you giving up just because of one sentence?"

Thomas's face was terribly pale, and his eyes were teary.

"Mr. Ye, I could endure all kinds of hardships back then because I had nothing to worry about as I was alone! But now I am Rainie's husband and she's my wife. She has been poisoned, and she's coughing up blood as well, but I had to hear this from you! I am really a bastard! Urgh! I am so disappointed in myself!"

Thomas slapped himself in the face, and the force immediately made his face red and swollen.

"Why did I become like this? I've ruined and tortured my family because I wanted a child. What the hell has happened to me?"

At the thought of Rainie's health condition, Thomas suddenly felt that his persistence in having a child was ridiculous and ironic.

"Mr. Ye, I won't be able to live anymore if Rainie leaves me. Alas! I destroyed my own happiness and marriage. I know it's too late to amend for my mistakes and she will never forgive me. But how did I end up like this?"

His tears finally flowed down uncontrollably as he said this.

He was devastated whenever he thought about how Rainie was coughing blood and how a lively soul like her could end up dying one day. At this thought, he felt a cold chill down his spine. It was a suffocating pain that almost engulfed and tortured his heart.

He once complained about how inconsiderate Rainie was. He was dissatisfied with her being at work all day long while he was staying by himself in an empty and lonely house. However, right now, all of the complaints were gone, and he only felt regretful and heartbroken.

On the other hand, when Nathaniel saw Thomas acting this way, he almost had an urge to tell him the truth about Rainie. However, he held it back when he thought about Thomas' beliefs.

He knew that it was useless for him to say anything more unless Thomas realized the gravity of the situation.

After all, Rainie was Thomas' most important person. He didn't appreciate her while she was alive and thought he would take care of her once everything was settled. Now, he regretted it once he knew that she couldn't live long. If she passed away, he would only continue to carry on these grievances. Therefore, it didn't matter if he had a child of his own. What about Rainie?

In the future, he would no longer have his wife by his side. His wife would no longer be smiling and saying sweetly, "Hubby, you're the best!"

Then, Nathaniel took out his mobile phone from his pocket. He found a video and sent it to Thomas.

"This is a video I found on the camera near the filming set. Have a look."

Nathaniel felt that he couldn't stay still anymore as he was afraid that he would lose his selfcontrol.

After all, Thomas had been his comrade and subordinate for many years. He really could not see him allow Thomas to make a mistake and go down the wrong path.

In fact, Nathaniel was well aware of his feelings and love for Rainie. Hence, he still hoped that Thomas could work out his relationship and pursuit happiness in the future. Although doing so would make Mango unhappy, there were some things that could not be helped.

After all, Thomas only had him as his brother.

Once Nathaniel left, Thomas quickly opened the video.

It was the scene where Rainie's assistant met with Emory.

In the video, Emory held a bag of supplements in her hand and handed it to the assistant, but he couldn't hear what she was saying clearly. However, Thomas suddenly recalled Nathaniel's words upon looking at the surprised and fearful eyes of the assistant. Also, Nathaniel did tell Thomas that Rainie had been poisoned, so his eyes darkened at this scene.

The second video was when the assistant came back with the bag of supplements. Rainie had just finished filming the scene and was resting on a chair, and the assistant was putting the pills into Rainie's drink. Her eyes were wavering during the whole process, and her hands were trembling in fear.

The third video was when Rainie fell during the accident. The assistant was waving to someone backstage. Although it was almost unnoticeable, the assistant's gestures could be seen clearly after the video had been enlarged.

The fourth video showed Rainie was coughing so violently that her face turned pale, and her whole body trembled. She looked as if she was in terrible pain. Suddenly, she coughed a few more times and spat out a mouthful of blood. She seemed to be scared and was looking in a daze. Suddenly, she laughed and crouched there to cry.

When Thomas saw this scene, he felt devastated. His scarlet eyes suddenly transformed into a murderous sharp glint, and he wanted to tear this place down.
