The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1636

Mango looked around, and other than the waiters, there weren't many guests. Then, she chose a seat near the window and sat down.

It didn't take long for Desmond to arrive, and when he saw Mango, he was more or less surprised.

"Didn't you leave?"

"I'm worried about you."

Mango didn't say anything else.

They ordered a cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain and cappuccino and drank slowly.

No one spoke, but for some reason, it was peaceful.

Time passed by, but Haniya was nowhere to be seen. Instead, a waiter came over to refill their cups. When they left, Mango noticed a note at the bottom of the cup.

'Leave now!'

There were only two words on the paper, but both Desmond's and Mango's expressions changed.

This was Haniya's handwriting!

So was Haniya really still alive?

But wasn't it Haniya who asked Desmond to come today?

Why did she send a note to warn them when they came?

Mango was puzzled, but deep down in her heart, she believed that Haniya would not harm Desmond.

Thinking of this, Mango took Desmond's hand and got up to leave.

Desmond was a little stunned.

It wasn't Mango's first time taking the initiative to hold his hand, and every time it was in a critical moment. Could it be...

Desmond's eyes narrowed suddenly as he looked around and sensed danger.

Just at this moment, the door of the coffee shop closed abruptly.

Mango's heart skipped a beat and knew something bad was about to happen.

Without another word, she took out a pistol from inside her clothes and shot it at the glass door.

"Let's go!"

Mango pushed Desmond outside quickly.

She could tell that the person was coming for Desmond.

At this moment, Mango quickly pressed on the bracelet on her wrist, which was a communication device.

Merle and the others received the news and cooperated with Mango from the outside as the glass doors cracked.

Desmond had wanted to say something, but he was pushed out by Mango.

At the same time, a lot of people appeared in the back kitchen of the cafe, each holding a weapon. When they came out, they shot at Mango and Desmond immediately. Mango rolled over as Merle, Henry, and the others outside exchanged fire with the people inside.

When Mango was leaving, she looked back and saw a person who looked like Haniya flashed by.

Her heart skipped a beat.

What was going on?

Was it Haniya?

If so, why did she warn them to leave?

But if she had warned them, why did she attack them?

Was she being threatened?

In a split second, Mango had a lot of thoughts.

Desmond relaxed a little when he saw Mango walk out.

"Are you alright?" "I'm fine. Let's go!"

Mango didn't want to be entangled here, so she pushed Desmond into the car.

Suddenly, a streak of red flashed across Mango's eyes as she pulled Desmond down subconsciously, but she was unable to dodge it.

A bullet flew into Mango's right shoulder with a 'poof.

The intense pain caused Mango to turn around subconsciously and raise her gun. However, the familiar face of the person stunned her. It was her?!

It seemed that she did not intend to shoot again as she quickly withdrew the gun and fled from her original position as soon as possible.

When Henry saw that Mango was injured, he quickly ran over.

"Mrs. Ye, are you alright?"

Desmond wanted to get off the car, but Mango stopped him.

"Let's go back first!"

Mango made a prompt decision and leaving Henry and the others behind, she got into the car.

Originally, she planned to drive herself, but Desmond saw that she was injured, so he jumped into the driver's seat and drove to the palace immediately. "We're not going back to the palace."

Mango's words stunned Desmond slightly.

"Where are we going?"

He didn't ask why, and right now, he carried out every order Mango gave him, but his heart was filled with regret.

If he hadn't insisted on coming, and if he hadn't thought that Haniya was different, perhaps Mango wouldn't have been injured.

Now that Nathaniel wasn't around, and he had actually let Mango get injured. It was simply unforgivable!

Desmond's eyes were a little dark.

Mango knew that he was guilty, but it was not the time to talk about it, so she whispered, "Let's go to the Foster family's home. I've already told Carlo about it." "Alright."

Desmond didn't know where the Foster family was, so Mango directed the way. The people behind them didn't chase after them anymore, but Mango didn't relax at all. Ten minutes later, they arrived at the Foster's family gate.

Carlo came out to greet them personally.

"How did you get hurt?"

Carlo was a little surprised to see Mango injured.

However, Mango replied indifferently, "It's fine, it didn't hit anything important. Let's talk after we're inside."

"Alright."

The three of them entered the Foster family quickly.

The Foster family was huge and it looked like those mansions in ancient times, with a front and back yard.

Carlo led Mango and the others into the backyard, arranged a room for her, and quickly invited a doctor to come over.

Today, Lebanon, the king of the country, got married and the whole country was full of joy. As Lebanon's biological brother, Tristan must be present, and although Carlo was Tristan's junior, he specialized in poison, so he invited a family doctor over.

Mango didn't feel anything, and although it hurt, it didn't hit any vital organs. On the other hand, Desmond was silent with his thin lips pressed together tightly. She knew that he was blaming

himself.

"Don't think too much. This has nothing to do with you."

"I didn't protect you."

Previously, Desmond was the captain of Mango's Dark Night Empire, but now, he had actually let Mango get injured from protecting him.

Mango gritted her teeth and said to the doctor, "Give me anesthetics. I can't hold on any longer."

Although her body had been nursed back to health after giving birth, Mango knew that she couldn't push herself. If she insisted on retrieving the bullet without anesthetics, she would probably faint. She was a woman, so there was no need to force her way through. Besides, this was the Foster family's home, which not anyone could just enter.

Hearing her words, the doctor nodded and started giving Mango some anesthetics.

Mango said to Desmond, "Something strange happened today."

"Maybe this was just a trap from the beginning."

Desmond's heart ached.

He didn't want to suspect Haniya, but this must had something to do with her.

Mango said in a low voice, "Perhaps this does have something to do with Haniya, but I believe she isn't the one who asked you to go there. If so, she wouldn't have sent us a note."

"But that person was able to be close enough to Haniya and use her phone to invite us, which shows that the person has a strong relationship with her. Since she had wanted to warn us, why didn't she tell us in advance? Why did she have to wait until we arrive? And their goal is very clear, it is me! They want to kill me!"

At this point, Desmond had to admit that their target was to kill him, no matter how much he didn't want to believe it!

Since he was used to being robbed, he did not have any special feelings or thoughts. However, it was the first time someone wanted to kill him, and the process of killing him was also credited to the woman he loved most.

At the thought of this, Desmond's heart ached so much that it was almost suffocating. But in the end, if Mango hadn't held him down, they would have killed him with a sniper!
