The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 539

The little girl was dealt with by Emberly secretly, while poor Walter was still waiting for Mango to bring help. It seemed that he could only wait in vain.

On the other hand, Mango had finally woken up after a night's ordeal.

Looking at the familiar things around her, she was a little stunned.

"Are you awake? I thought you wouldn't wake up this time."

The voice of Genevieve caused Mango to be slightly taken aback.

"Genevieve?"

"Who else could it be? You're really good at torturing yourself, aren't you? You got shot trying to find your child. Luckily, you live in a military compound, because if it were other places, I have to explain why were you shot. Mango, why can't you just be like a normal patient who follows instructions?"

Genevieve felt rather exasperated.

Mango was very embarrassed and said with a smile, T m sorry. You know, I didn't want that either." "Well, you didn't, but you are letting death approach you day by day. I think you will die before Nathaniel comes back."

Genevieve's words weren't pleasant to her ears, but Mango knew that she was concerned about her, so she didn't argue.

Then she suddenly thought of Walter.

"Where is Walter?"

"He left."

Genevieve's eyes seemed to be evasive, but Mango did not notice it.

"He left? That's good. The Ye family's current affairs are really not suitable for Walter to intervene."

Mango expressed her thoughts, while Genevieve looked at her and did not speak although she had something to say.

"I seem to have heard Walter say something to me, but I couldn't hear clearly because I was very dizzy."

However, there was always a sense of uneasiness in Mango's heart.

Then, Genevieve said in a low voice, "He's been here for a while, saying something like he's going to give up on you. Perhaps he really got over you, and he doesn't want to be with you anymore." Upon hearing her words, Mango paused for a moment and said, "It's best for him to let go. Furthermore, I really owe him too much."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Rita and Wisdom came over to see you several times, but you didn't wake up and that almost scared the two kids to death. Now, I have to tell them to come over and visit you. Oh right, Zion's doing fine these days, and he's almost fully recovered by now. He is also making a fuss about coming back to see you, so you'd better behave yourself and not scare him. If not, I'll see how you'll explain it to your __ H son.

As soon as Genevieve finished speaking, she stood up.

Mango slightly smiled with a sense of helplessness.

She didn't want to get hurt either, but the situation at that time really didn't allow her to choose.

At the thought of Walter, Mango was still a little sad, but she also felt relieved when Genevieve mentioned that he had gotten over it and she hoped that it was really the truth.

As she struggled to get up, Rita and Wisdom came in.

"Mommy!

Rita quickly ran over. Just as she was about to rush into Mango's arms, she stopped at the last moment.

"What happened, Rita?"

Mango was already prepared to welcome Rita, so she couldn't help but ask her the question.

Rita looked at Mango's shoulder and said unhappily, "Mommy lied! You suck!"

Frankly, Mango was stunned to some extent.

"What did I lie about?"

"Mommy said that we're just playing games, but games don't get people hurt. Mommy, you lied! You're a bad girl!"

Rita complained.

Mango didn't really know how to react.

Her daughter had really grown up and she already knew how to care for her.

"Alright alright, I was wrong. I shouldn't have lied to Rita, but I'm fine now, right?"

"You're already injured, yet you're still saying that you're fine. Does it hurt? Do you want me to give you kisses? You won't feel pain after that."

As she spoke, she walked over on her tiptoes and wanted to give Mango some kisses on her wound.

Looking at the worried expression on her daughter's face, Mango felt a rush of warmth in her heart.

"Mommy is much better and it doesn't hurt anymore. Thank you, Rita."

"There's no need to thank me, mommy. Don't ever hurt yourself in the future, okay? I was so afraid when you wouldn't wake up."

There was a hint of tears welling up in Rita's eyes.

This time, Mango knew that Rita had truly grown up.

"Sure."

She stroked Rita's head lovingly and wanted to hold Rita in her arms. However, Rita shook her head and said, "I'm all grown up and I don't need mommy's hugs anymore. Take care, okay? Rest well and have a quick recovery!"

"No problem!"

Mango smiled again.

Meanwhile, Wisdom stood aside and didn't speak a word, but there was a trace of worry in his eyes.

"Come here, Wisdom."

Mango waved her hand at him.

Only then did Wisdom come forward.

"Mommy, are you alright?" "Mommy's fine, no worries. I scared you pretty

badly, didn't I?"

Mango held Wisdom's hand as she spoke.

Then, Wisdom's eyes turned wet with tears.

"Mommy, please take good care of yourself!"

"It's okay. It's just a scratch, I'm fine."

She said with a smile.

Although Wisdom still wanted to say something, he remembered Walter's warning before he left so he shut his mouth. He just nodded and basked in the sense of warmth and maternal love from Mango. Seeing them like this, Genevieve couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken.

"Mango, don't blame me for not reminding you, but Zion is not a person who can be easily fooled. I think you should call him later."

"Alright."

Mango nodded her head at that.

Wisdom knew that everyone was hiding the truth from Zion. When he knew that Zion was recovering from his injuries at Noah's house, he felt relieved. He wanted to contact Zion too but he did not know what to say either.

After all, when Nick said that he wanted to kill Zion, both of them were there.

Although it wasn't Wisdom's idea, he had always felt ashamed to face Zion.

How could his daddy do this?

Not only did he treat Zion like that, but he had also imprisoned Rita.

Why were his parents, such bad people?

Wisdom couldn't understand and he was very hurt. Now, he was too afraid to call his best friend to ask how he was doing.

When Mango saw that Wisdom staring absentmindedly, she thought that he was tired, so she said to him, "Wisdom, if you're tired, then go and rest. Mommy's fine, you can take Rita with you and leave." "Okay then, mommy. Rest well. Rita and I will leave first."

Wisdom nodded his head and decided to leave with Rita.

However, Rita suddenly took out two pieces of chocolate from her pocket and passed them to Mango.

"Mommy, this is my favorite brand of chocolate and I reserved them especially for you. You'll get better after eating it."

As she watched her daughter's chubby little hands and the reluctant expression on her face, Mango's

heart was once again filled with warmth and love.

"Sure. Thank you, Rita."

"You're welcome."

Although Rita didn't want to leave, she still gave the chocolate to Mango and followed Wisdom out happily.

"Look, your children are so worried about you, and yet you still have the heart to torture yourself? I'm telling you now, Mango, I am not God and I can't save you from death every time. If you do it again, I'm telling you in advance that I may not be able to keep you safe anymore."

Genevieve's expression was rather unpleasant.

However, Mango smiled and said, "I understand. I'll listen to you, alright?"

"It's impossible for me to believe you. You can't sit still for a day without any news from Nathaniel. Besides, Nick is trying to get at you every step of the way, so will you be able to just ignore it?" Genevieve's words caused Mango to burst into laughter.

"Why are you still yelling at me if you know about all of it?"

"I really don't know what to say. Well, I'll ask Noah to find someone to see what's going on with Nathaniel. As for Madam Ye, you don't have to worry too much, as he won't do anything to her. As for Nick, you'd better stay away from him and wait until Nathaniel comes back. Now your main responsibility is to take care of yourself. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing Genevieve's arrangement and thinking back to the children's concern, Mango nodded lightly.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"That's good. I'll be going. Please call Zion, as this son of yours is so difficult to take care of. He does not seem like a four-year-old kid at all."

Genevieve shook her head before she left.

When Mango was left alone in the room, she was rather lonely.

This was Genevieve's parents' house. They had their own houses, but still, they had no choice but to live here.

She had a home, a husband, and children. However, they were now in different places, making their home no longer like one.

At the thought of this, Mango felt sadness and grief.

She hoped that Noah would take action soon so that she could get news of Nathaniel.

She called Nathaniel again, but unfortunately, his phone was still turned off.

Mango sighed and made a video-call to Zion.

On the other end, Zion picked it up almost immediately.

"Mommy! Where are you? You don't look like you're at home."

Zion's eyes were still adorably vicious.

Mango smiled and said, "I have some matters to discuss with your Auntie Genevieve at the military compound. Unfortunately, mommy has been too busy recently to take care of you. How are you feeling now? Are you better?"

"I'm much better now, as healthy as a horse. Mommy, look!"

As he spoke, Zion stretched out his arm and flexed his bicep.

Mango immediately laughed as she knew that her son didn't want her to worry about him.

"Zion, mommy wants to discuss something with you."

"Go ahead, mommy."

Zion replied in a hurry, and he was rather worried.

Mango thought for a moment and said, "I want to make a trip with your Auntie Genevieve and I won't be at home for the next few days. Can you stay at Uncle Noah's house for the time being?"

"Where are you going, mommy?"

Zion immediately became nervous.

"Somewhere nearby, we're just gonna pay a visit to daddy."

"Is something wrong with him?"

Worry started to appear on Zion's face.

At that, Mango's heart throbbed in pain. However, she smiled and said, "No, it's just that there's a child over there that is not in a very good condition. I'm planning to go and take a look with your Auntie Genevieve, so you don't have to worry about us. Besides that, don't return to The Ye's Mansion. I heard that Auntie Genevieve has adopted Gissel as her daughter. She's in a new environment and isn't used to it, so you should spend more time with her."

"But Rita..."

"Rita has Wisdom. Don't worry."

Mango's words made Zion nod his head.

"Mommy, please be careful and call me if you need anything."

"Alright."

They exchanged a few more words before Mango hung up. A hint of melancholy flashed across her eyes because she didn't want her son to worry for her, but if he found out that Nathaniel was missing, she had no idea what was going to happen.

The moment when Mango hung up the phone, a figure suddenly appeared from outside the window and approached her.
