The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 532

"Sit tight everyone!"

After Walter finished his sentences, he stepped on the accelerator.

"What is going on?"

Rita was so lost right now. When she wanted to turn around for a look at what was going on, Mango covered her eyes instead.

"Don't look."

"Why?"

Rita did not insist on her action then. On the contrary, she just asked Mango the question innocently while sitting obediently on her lap, allowing her mother to cover her eyes.

Mango did not know how to explain to her, so she had no choice but to say, "I am just afraid that you can't bear to part with Shawn."

"That's right though! I will miss him greatly. Mommy, I want to tell you something. Shawn is indeed a good guy!"

Rita smiled sweetly when she mentioned Shawn.

The car behind them seemed to be getting closer to them. The driver's skill was on par with Walter.

Walter and Mango's face turned ghastly. However, Mango still responded to Rita's words, "Does Shawn better than both of your brothers?"

"That's different. They are related to me, but Shawn is different from them."

Rita could not explain her meaning clearly, so she could only emphasize it in this manner.

Walter then teased her, "You are still so young and you have someone you like already?"

"Someone I like? That's right, I like Shawn so much! When I grow up, I want to be his bride."

Mango felt speechless upon hearing Rita said those words loftily. However, she could not be bothered now as there was a car in hot pursuit right now.

"Walter..."

"I know. Just fasten your seat belt."

Walter's expression turned extremely horrible now.

It was not easy to catch up with him with such a speed though. Except for Nathaniel, there was no one else who possessed such superb driving skills that could chase after him at such a close distance. "I want to see who the driver is so bad! He seems to have similar driving skills as Nathaniel back then."

Mango did not respond immediately to what Walter said to her, but her eyes seemed to darken a little.

At that very moment, the car behind them caught up to them. With a loud bang, Walter's car was hit.

The car shook vigorously after being hit. Walter turned the steering wheel accordingly to take control of the wheels, but the car hit them hard again.

"Mommy, what's wrong? Is it an earthquake?"

Rita was a little scared that she held Mango's arms tightly.

Mango protected Rita in her embrace. Her expression was so serious at that moment.

"Walter, can you see clearly who the driver is?"

"Negative, but I am sure that the person is an expert."

Normally, Walter would not be in such a disadvantageous situation. Now that the opponent did not seem to have any intention to give in, Walter was infuriated as the situation embarrassing in front of Mango. "I will try to look at who the hell this fella is! Could it be Nick?"

Walter was so furious that he took a one hundred and eighty-degree turn to change the direction of the car. Instead of retreating, he drove in the direction of the car before hitting directly onto it.

Yet, the driver seemed to have sensed Walter's intention that he drove his car backward instead. In the end, Walter continued his chase.

When both the cars crashed into each other again and were driving side by side, the other party winded down the window as he took a gun with silencer installed out before pointing directly at Mango. Mango was completely stunned at that moment.

"Merle?!"

Never did she expect that the person who hit their car just now and was currently pointing his gun at her right now was Merle!

That guy went missing while he went to look for Nathaniel. So far, there was no news of him at all. But Merle showed up suddenly out of nowhere now. Not only that, he intended to kill her as well. What the hell was going on now?

"Walter, don't hurt him, please."

Just as Mango finished her sentence, the other party pulled the trigger.

"Mommy!"

Rita sat up straight suddenly.

"Watch out!"

Mango intended to press Rita down, but it was too late. To protect her daughter, she turned Rita around to cover the child with her body.

Bang! The bullet shot through Mango's shoulder. She felt so painful that her whole body was trembling now. The warm liquid stained the back of her clothes with a bright red color instantly.

Walter's turned red all of a sudden.

"D*mn it, how dare he treat you in such a manner? Is he courting death now?! I would like to see who has guts to do such a dreadful thing!"

Walter was focusing on driving just now that he did not have a good look at the enemy. Upon hearing Mango's plead about not to harm that person, Walter hesitated, which caused her to take the shot. He felt so useless right now.

Mango was in great pain but she still said to him quickly, "Don't hurt him! He is Merle, one of my men. I sent him to look for Nathaniel previously, it's just that I am not sure why is he trying to kill me now. Walter, if possible, stops his car, and I would like to talk to him personally. Perhaps he knows where Nathaniel is."

Mango finally met Merle, so she did not want to lose this opportunity to get more information from him. After all, nobody knew what they had encountered and why did they go missing all of a sudden? Now that Merle had appeared, but he seemed to have a great feud with her right now. Why?

Although Walter was enraged at that guy for hurting Mango, he still suppressed his anger before saying coldly, "This fella better say something useful later! Or else I will not let him off so easily!" After finishing his sentence, Walter changed the direction of the car again so that he could force him to stop.

After Merle shot Mango for the first time, he wanted to fire at her again. But never did he expect that Walter changed his plan. So, he had no choice but to put down his gun first before trying his best to shake him off.

That two cars were in hot pursuit through streets in the villa area, where not many people around.

Mango then said to Rita in a soft voice, "No matter what happens later, do not make a single sound, okay? Rita, why not you lie down on the seat first?"

"Why?"

Rita's eyes were still being covered by Mango. So, she could not see the wound on Mango's shoulder, nor did she notice that her mother was stained with blood all over her body. Hence, Rita was clueless about Mango being pale-looking.

Her mother could only comfort her, "We are playing a game with other people right now. If you get up, we will lose. So, do you want us to lose?"

"No, I don't want!"

Rita thought that they were really in a game now, so she quickly laid down on the seat without any movements. That girl was being very obedient right now.

Mango then took out the first aid kit quickly to pour the iodine on her wounds. She bit on her lower lips instantly when her injuries came in contact with the medicine. The intense pain was indeed unbearable! Soon, blood flowed out again but she just endured the pain.

After disinfecting, she took out the gauze to bandage the wound.

Walter felt a little heartache when he saw how skillful Mango was from the rearview mirror.

"I am sorry that you are hurt because of me again."

"It has nothing to do with you."

Both of them spoke softly as they were trying hard not to let Rita heard their conversation.

Walter gritted on his teeth as he cut into Merle's path instantly. He managed to force that guy's car to stop at the side of the road.

"Get out!"

Walter's face was extremely grim at that moment. He even wanted to get off his car to whack him up. But Merle stepped on the accelerator all of a sudden, and he drove straight in their direction. The mean seemed to have the intention to perish together with them.

This crazy act gave Walter a shock.

He reversed his car immediately into a safe zone where Merle could not crash into them. At the same time, Merle drove straight without stopping his car and he escaped from their sight in a short period.

"Shall we chase after him?"

Walter asked, but he did not receive any reply from Mango at all. When he looked back, Mango had already fainted.

Why Mango passed out suddenly? She just talked to him a moment ago, right?

Walter's mind was in a mess now.

"Mango, are you okay? Mango..."

He hurriedly gave Mango a push, only to realize that her entire body was burning hot.

She was having a fever now!

Also, Mango did not even inform him about her condition in advance!

Upon hearing Walter calling Mango, Rita opened her eyes hurriedly. She burst into tears instantly upon realizing that her mother had fainted.

"Mommy, what's wrong? Didn't you say that we are in a game right now? Why are you sleeping now then? Wake up, Mommy!"

Rita cried sadly that she was almost out of breath. Her cries made Walter felt frustrated, but he could not vent his anger at her since Rita was Mango's daughter after all.

"Don't cry, Rita. Your Mommy is just too tired that she falls asleep. Shall we bring her back home to rest now?"

"Really?"

Rita doubted his words.

Walter could only nod his head. In fact, he was extremely anxious right now.

He gave Genevieve a call to tell her about what had happened to Mango. Then Walter rushed back to the military district compound immediately.

Genevieve then brought Mango back home as soon as they arrived.

Rita felt a little anxious and worried right now. While Wisdom dashed towards her quickly.

"What happened to Mommy?"

"Wisdom!"

Rita finally saw someone who she could depend on. She threw herself at him hurriedly while crying, "Wisdom, Mommy said that we are in a game just now. But suddenly, she fell asleep just like that. Is she sick?"

"Perhaps she is just too tired. Be good, Rita! Let Mommy sleeps while I take you to the room for a rest first, okay? Auntie Bay will take care of her, and we will come back again once Mommy is awake." Wisdom was extremely worried about Mango too. But right now, someone needed to take care of Rita, and the only person who could do so was himself.

Upon seeing Wisdom being so sensible, Genevieve felt so blessed, "Wisdom, bring Rita to her room first and leave this to me. Don't worry, your Mommy will get better soon, so you can visit her later."

"All right."

Wisdom's eyes were flashed with a hint of worry while his voice trembled slightly as he spoke.

Genevieve patted on his shoulder. She then carried Mango into the room with help from Walter.

"What happened just now? I thought it will be safe for her to go out with you. Aren't you an expert too?"

Genevieve did not mean to blame Walter at all. She just wanted to know about the situation. Yet Walter felt extremely guilty that he kept blaming himself.

After all, Mango was being shot right before his eyes!

"D*mn it! Mango stopped me from hurting that man. Or else, everything would not happen!"

Walter was so angry that he cursed.

"That man? Who? What have you all experienced just now?"

Someone whom Mango rather being shot than allowing anyone to hurt him? Could it be Nathaniel?

Walter could tell what she was thinking, and he said in a low tone instead, "It's not Nathaniel. But I am shocked to know that it was Merle, Mango's most trusted subordinate of all! I heard that he left to look for Nathaniel previously but gone missing as well. Never did it cross my mind that Merle would shoot her, and it seemed like he wanted her dead as well!"

"Merle? Impossible! How could he do that to Mango? Did you see Nathaniel?"

Walter felt a little gloomy upon hearing Genevieve'

s words.

"If Nathaniel was there, do you think he would let her wife get injured? Merle seemed to have gone insane! He did not even hesitate while pulling the trigger just now."

Genevieve was stunned upon hearing what Walter said.

"What do you mean by that?"
