The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1637

"Haniya isn't the one that wants to kill you!"

"What do you mean?"

Desmond looked at Mango's serious expression and asked. She looked as if she had something to say, but she kept quiet because the doctor was there.

After seeing this, Desmond remained silent.

"What do you want to eat? I'll go and see what we have in the kitchen."

However, Mango shook her head and replied, "I have no appetite and I'm a little tired."

After hearing her words, the doctor quickly said, "I've given you some local anaesthesia to numb your joints, but you will feel tired and sleepy if your body is weak." "Then I'll sleep for a while."

Mango laid down and said this.

Meanwhile, Desmond did not dare to leave.

Soon, Mango fell asleep. Her breathing was even, so this indicated that she was deep in sleep.

Once the doctor had finished operating on Mango, he left the room gently at Desmond's signal.

Suddenly, Mango opened her eyes as soon as the doctor left, and Desmond was startled.

"What..."

"Shh..."

Mango signaled for him to keep quiet and sent a message to Carlo directly. Then, a car followed the doctor and drove out.

On the other hand, Desmond was a little surprised to see all this. Finally, he voiced out once the doctor left.

"What are you..."

"I think that the doctor is suspicious."

Mango said directly.

Although the bullet was taken out, she had been injected with a tranquilizer. This indicated that the other party did not want her to interfere in Desmond's matter. Mango's heart suddenly sank as she thought of the person who intended to kill her.

Meanwhile, Desmond couldn't read her mind. Upon seeing her frown, he whispered, "Did Carlo send someone to follow him?"

"Yeah, if there everything goes well, we should be able to find out the mastermind working behind the doctor."

Mango said faintly. Then, she glanced at

Desmond and asked in a low voice, "Did you happen to see who the sniper was?"

"Nope."

"

Desmond was held down by Mango at that time. Therefore, he didn't get the chance to see the sniper, but he had always thought that it was Haniya.

"Isn't that Haniya?"

"No, it's Carmel!"

Upon hearing this, Desmond was stunned.

"Who is it?"

"Carmel Liu! Are you surprised? Heh. So am I."

Mango gave out a bitter laugh as she said this.

After all, Carmel was introduced to her by Brantley. However, Carmel had disappeared ever since Nathaniel had been sent to Angolla to investigate the reason for Desmond's berserk. Everyone initially thought that Carmel had met some troubles along the way, but who would have thought that she had become the other party's subordinate?

This was something that no one wanted to accept, but Mango had seen this with her own eyes.

If she hadn't held Desmond down, the gun would have shot directly toward Desmond's heart judging from the distance and shooting skills of Carmel.

Did Carmel want to kill Desmond?

No!

To be more accurate, someone wanted Desmond dead, and Carmel was only recruited as the sniper.

However, Mango felt extremely confused. Everything seemed to be in a mess after Haniya's abnormal behaviour.

While Mango and Desmond were talking, Carlo came in.

"Let me see your wound."

"I thought you only worked with poison."

Upon hearing what Mango had said., Carlo was slightly upset.

"Oh, please! Don't you know I'm Tristan's junior? Aren't both medicine and poison significantly related to each other? I don't usually treat patients, but you're different. I still need your talent because I need you to design a car for me."

Meanwhile, Mango was pleased by his words.

She immediately untied the button on her shirt.

After that, Carlo re-examined the wound and said, "Fortunately, the wound looks alright. It seems that the doctor didn't treat it with other medicines, but only the tranquilliser. I think the doctor doesn't want you to be involved in Desmond's business." "I know."

"Then take a rest. I'll inform you when if there's any news."

"Alright."

This time, Mango really couldn't take it anymore.

After that, Desmond and Carlo left the room, but they were deep in thought as they looked at Mango's room.

"Alright, you shouldn't think too much. In fact, you probably can't figure this out easily. We'll just have to wait and see. Besides, today is the wedding banquet of the emperor. I wonder what's going on in the palace."

Carlo was a little worried.

"Well, I'm sure nothing will happen with Mr. Hans around."

Desmond believed his own words.

"You're right. Go and have a rest, too. We don't know what will happen in the afternoon."

Carlo arranged a room for Desmond. After Desmond entered the room, he felt that something was wrong.

How did Haniya suddenly become like this?

He knew the relationship between them. Did

Haniya do this because she had no choice but to do so?

He did not know the answer to do. Instead, he felt heartbroken, and his mind was in a mess.

Soon, Desmond fell asleep as well.

Meanwhile, on the overseas battlefield, Nathaniel and Walter got off the helicopter and formed a rescue team with their own people. They began to search for Thomas and the others in the area they went missing.

However, the location here was remote, and there was no information at all. At the same time, Rainie also arrived at the overseas battlefield.

She was looking tired as she was pregnant. However, every time she thought about how she had no idea about Thomas' condition, she felt worried. She regained her strength at the thought of this and couldn't wait to find him.

The people in the military region took good care of her as the superiors had told them that she was coming.

On the other hand, Rainie had no choice but to take a break before looking for Thomas.

The military had arranged a temporary shelter for Rainie and assigned someone to take care of her.

However, Rainie rejected the offer as she did not want to cause any trouble to them. Anyway, she had someone by her side, and she was happy with it.

Initially, she did not intend to rest. However, she fell asleep unknowingly while lying on the bed. Furthermore, she seemed to have dreamt of Thomas while asleep.

Thomas stood there looking at her with blood besmeared all over his body and a pair of teary eyes.

"Don't go! Thomas!"

Rainie was startled by the dream and woke up immediately. However, she realised that the sun had gone down, and the room was dark. She gasped for breath and calmed down. Then, she got up and turned on the bedside lamp. Suddenly, she found a box on the table.

It looked like a shoe box. However, she didn't remember bringing such a thing here.

Did someone send it in?

Rainie had been nervous, but she relaxed a little when she remembered that the people outside were all on her side.

After that, she got out of bed quietly and walked to the box.

She didn't know what was in it, so she didn't dare to open it on her own. She could only go out and call in the bodyguards from the Ye family.

After that, the was asked to stay outside for safety reasons.

Then, the bodyguard looked at the box nervously. As he opened the box, a ticking sound resounded inside.

Oh no!

The bodyguard quickly shouted outside, "There's a bomb! Lie down!"

While speaking, he laid down by himself and threw the box out of the window.

Meanwhile, Rainie was protected outside and was shocked when she heard that there was a bomb inside.

Although the box was threw out, there was no signs of explosion.

What was going on?

Several bodyguards ran out instantly and found that the box was not filled with bombs but an old clock. The clock kept ticking away, and there was a slip of paper beneath it.

"Get out of here! Otherwise, it will become a real bomb!"

This was a warning!

It was also a threat!
