The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) -
Chapter 1675
Mango knew that it had already been more than an hour since Michael had left. Henry had been trying to tell Mango about it, but there were too many wounded soldiers around. Mango and Rainie had been
helping out, so he didn't have any free time.
More than an hour had passed by the time she was free.
Mango paused for a moment and she asked Henry to take care of the wounded with her without saying anything else.
The gunfire lasted a whole night. When morning came, the cannons couldn't be heard but it was not quiet at all.
Many of the wounded soldiers began to groan in pain after the anesthetic wore off.
This was the first time Mango had learned of the hardships in the medical field.
Rainie did not rest for the whole night. When Mango saw Rainie's haggard appearance, she could not help pulling her back.
"Go and rest." "There are still so many injured soldiers that I need to..." "Go and rest!"
Mango interrupted Rainie firmly.
Rainie had rarely seen Mango like this, so she couldn't help but be slightly taken aback. She followed Mango's gaze and she looked at her own stomach.
"Rainie, I won't stop you from doing anything you want to do, but you have to take your body into consideration. You're pregnant now! If you still intend to keep your child, then go and rest. I'll take over!" Mango's words silenced Rainie.
She was indeed a little tired.
In fact, she also had her own selfish motives.
She wanted to look at the wounded and confirm with her own eyes that Thomas was not one of them. Maybe this was stupid, but what could she do now?
The battlefield was so big that she might not be able to find Thomas even if she walked around, so she waited here.
This was the only battlefield hospital around and whoever was injured would be sent here.
She would be relieved as long as she didn't see Thomas.
However, Rainie also knew that Mango was right and she needed to pay attention to her body. After all, Thomas' child was in her stomach.
"Alright, I'll take a rest. If there's any news..."
"I'll tell you immediately."
Mango's promise reassured Rainie.
Her eyes had dark circles under them. Obviously, Rainie had been in an anxious state since she came here.
Mango's heart ached for her.
Rainie finally went to rest.
When Henry saw Mango's tired expression, he took a step forward and said, "Madam, you should also take a rest."
Mango's eyes paused for a moment before asking, "Has Michael left for the entire night?"
"Yes."
"Is there any news?"
"No."
No one knew what Mango was thinking, but her gaze was deep.
Henry couldn't help but comfort her in a low voice when he saw her like this. "Madam, why don't you heed your own advice? You won't be able to hold on for a night without sleep." "Let's wait for Rainie to wake up. I'll rest for a while when she wakes up."
Mango knew what Rainie was thinking. Even if Rainie wasn't around, Mango would stand guard for her!
However, it was true that she was a little tired.
"Keep an eye on this place. I'll go out for a walk."
The smell of blood here was too strong to bear.
Henry nodded.
Mango left the hospital and went to the bamboo forest at the back. She soon found a secluded place to sit down.
It was a quiet.
She leaned against the bamboo and wondered what Nathaniel was doing. Would he be angry when he learned that she had come to the battlefield? He probably would.
That man had always been afraid that something might happen to her.
When Mango thought of Nathaniel's expression, she couldn't help but smile.
Suddenly, there were footsteps outside.
Mango frowned slightly.
She finally found a quiet place and wanted to have a rest. Who could hide here so tacitly?
Just as Mango was about to leave, she heard the other party say something in a foreign language. Her body suddenly froze.
All of the soldiers here were from their own country, so why would they speak a foreign language?
Mango's alertness suddenly rose.
Fortunately, she had been overseas for five years and she had learnt foreign languages because of her work. She finally had the chance to use her knowledge this time.
A woman's voice could be heard.
"How is it? Did our men go in?"
"Yes, a total of twelve people went in as the wounded. As long as we can get through the morning, we can control this place at noon. I have asked them to take a small bottle of medicine to the lunch cafeteria when no one is paying attention. Everything has been arranged."
The man was the one who answered.
Mango's eyes suddenly narrowed.
Did he come in as a wounded man to infiltrate the hospital?
Why?
She held her breath and continued eavesdropping.
The woman said in a low voice, "You must pay attention to the medicine and don't let it touch our men. These people are wounded, so their immunity will be compromised. As long as they are infected and sent back to their country, they will spread the disease and their whole country will be wiped out by the plague. Even if we are temporarily defeated on the battlefield, the final victory still belongs to us!"
"Yes sir!"
The two people discussed a little more before they quickly left.
Mango only let out a sigh of relief when they left and she had almost suffocated herself to death. However, she also frowned because of this shocking secret.
Michael was right that the current war was really cruel and terrible. It was nothing like the ones she saw on TV with the small rifles and guns.
She wondered how many people would die of illness if their scheme worked. She was so angry that she couldn't express it.
Mango quickly returned to the hospital and found Henry.
"Gather our people and find out the identities of the wounded men that were sent in last night. I want to have the name list of everyone."
Henry was slightly stunned.
"Everyone? Madam, there were so many wounded people who came in last night, and there are at least more than a hundred. I'm afraid that if we investigate them one by one..."
Before Henry could finish his sentence, Mango's eyes suddenly turned cold as he was talking.
"I'll do it!"
"Remember, no one is allowed to know about this!"
"Yes, Madam!"
Henry quickly received her order and left.
Mango looked at the time. Rainie had only slept for an hour.
Although she could not bear to do it, she still walked over and called out to Rainie.
"What's wrong?"
Rainie was in a daze. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Mango's serious expression and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Then, she thought that something had happened to Thomas and became much more awake.
"What's wrong with Thomas?" "He's fine, but I think something is going to happen to us." Mango told Rainie what she had heard in a low voice and Rainie was completely stunned. "How can they be so vicious? What are you going to do?"
