The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) -
Chapter 562
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Once Mango entered the hospital, a nurse came out and blocked her way.
"I'm looking for Yama Hades."
Mango looked at the nurse and thought to herself that she hadn't seen the nurse previously when she left. Was she the nurse that originally worked here?
Moreover, the hospital, which was formerly desolate, was overcrowded with patients and security guards now.
If it weren't for her extraordinary memory, she would have thought that she had come to the wrong place.
Upon hearing Mango mention Yama Hades, the nurse creased her eyebrows in displeasure.
"What are you talking about? How dare you call her name directly? Her name is Doctor Zhang."
Only then did Mango know that Yama Hades' surname was Zhang.
"Doctor Zhang? All right, I'm looking for her."
"Did you make an appointment? If not, you can't see her. She is very busy." After that, the nurse immediately asked the security guards to drive Mango away.
Then Mango sighed and said, "We have an appointment in three days. My friend Anaya Ye is still here."
"Anaya Ye?"
The nurse frowned again. Then, she scanned Mango from head to toe and said coldly, "Wait a moment please."
Thereafter, she went straight inside a room.
As the nurse entered, there was a sudden commotion happening outside. Perhaps it was the people from the Underground City who were after her, and anxiety rose in Mango's throat. Just as Mango felt that she was about to be caught in front of those people, the nurse walked out.
"Come in."
Only then did Mango let out a sigh of relief.
Then Desmond looked around and whispered, "Why didn't they approach closer since they have already caught up with us?"
Mango was slightly stunned. She subconsciously looked around, only to discover that the people from the Underground City were everywhere around them.
However, she sneered and said, "They wouldn't dare come in. Let's go inside."
Afterwards, she entered the room.
Desmond was clueless, but he still followed her. Just as they entered the room, a person was seen climbing over the wall at lightning speed before he entered the hospital. Meanwhile, the nurse brought Mango to Yama Hades' office.
She was researching something and was completely immersed in it. Hence, she didn't notice the arrival of Mango at all. However, Anaya, on the other hand, was shocked when she noticed Mango.
"I'm back."
Mango looked at Anaya with a sweet and warm smile. However, Anaya quickly diverted her gaze away.
She felt extremely guilty for her actions.
Perhaps Walter and Nathaniel were waiting for Mango's rescue. So, wasn't she too selfish for asking Mango to teach Emberly a lesson?
At the thought of this, she felt even more embarrassed and didn't dare to look Mango in the eyes.
Then, Mango walked forward and squatted down before she caressed Anaya's face saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't teach Emberly a lesson, but don't worry, she will get what she deserves. I just went to save my friend Walter first."
"How is he?"
Anaya quickly wrote it down.
Mango saw that she was very worried about Walter, so she said in a low voice, "Not good. Both of his legs are crippled, and he was covered in blood when I first found him. However, there's no need to worry about him. I've already asked him to return to Ocean City first, and I'll send you back later too."
Hearing about Walter's severe condition, tears welled up Anaya's eyes uncontrollably.
She wasn't a good person, was she?
Due to her personal issues, she actually made Walter a cripple!
Would everything be better if only she had asked Mango to save him earlier?
Then Anaya bit her lower lip in distress.
Upon noticing her reaction, Mango immediately comforted her. "What are you doing? This has nothing to do with you. Stop thinking this way. Walter will be fine, don't worry. If you're worried, I'll take you to visit him when we go back to Ocean City, okay?"
"All right."
Anaya nodded.
Then, Mango took a glance at Yama Hades, who was seemed to be doing some kind of experiment. Therefore, she didn't want to disturb her. Instead, she gestured for Desmond to sit down while she took Anaya's hand and said, "How are you doing? Did she do anything to you?"
Anaya shook her head.
Mango pulled Anaya to her side and they sat down together.
Anaya was very quiet. Perhaps it was because she was mute that people overlooked her existence.
Mango looked at her and felt sorry for Anaya.
"If you have nowhere to go after returning to Ocean City, you can live with me. My family has three children who can keep you company."
Anaya was slightly stunned, and the corners of her eyes became wet with tears.
She was an orphan, and her younger sister had been adopted. To be honest, she really didn't know where to go. Therefore, she was very touched by Mango's words. Despite the kind offer, she still shook her head and refused.
"You have somewhere to go?"
Anaya nodded.
"Well, I'll take you there after this."
This time, Anaya didn't say anything.
When Yama Hades finally finished her work, only did she realize that there were two more people in the office.
Just then, her eyes suddenly lit up when she saw Desmond.
"Are you an experimental human?"
She walked forward as she spoke.
Seeing her reaction, the thought of Desmond's background crossed Mango's mind, and she quickly stepped forward before pulling him behind her.
"What are you trying to do?"
Yama Hades' eyebrows furrowed at the sight of Mango.
"Let me look at him, he's the subject of an experiment! If my guess is correct, he should have been used as a test subject while he was in his mother's womb. If he successfully survived, that means his blood definitely has medicinal properties. He's a treasure, I tell you."
"Hey, he's human, not an object! And he's mine!"
Mango's words stunned Desmond for a moment.
No one had ever defended him this way, and even Marissa did not dare to do so in public. She could only secretly comfort and help him when he was hurt or injured.
Now, this woman, who had known him for less than one day had boldly pulled him behind her to protect him, as if he were hers.
Desmond was at a loss for words and he didn't know how to express the feelings in his heart. Instead, he looked at Mango with mixed emotions.
Suddenly, Yama Hades' expression turned a little ugly.
"You didn't tell me you have someone like him in your grasp."
"What does that have to do with you? We're partners. So, don't even think about hurting my people."
Yama Hades was made very annoyed by Mango's words.
"You're really arrogant. Don't forget, your life is still in my hands."
"Even so, you are not allowed to touch my people!"
"What if I insist?"
"Try me then!"
Mango's entire body was radiating a cold and chilling aura.
Desmond wanted to hold her back, but Mango whispered assuringly, "Don't be afraid. As long as I'm here, she won't dare touch you."
"You're indeed fearless. I heard that the Underground City is looking for someone. It's you, right? Aren't you afraid that I'll hand you over? When the time comes, the person behind you will be mine as well. I can do whatever I want."
Then Mango suddenly sneered coldly and said, "You can do that, but I guarantee that before you hand me over, I will let you have a taste of hell. Try me if you dare."
She didn't seem like she was joking at all.
Eventually, Yama Hades was cowed by Mango's aura.
Next, she harrumphed coldly and sat back down. Then, she said, "I remember that we had a deal, but the time isn't up yet. So what are you doing here?"
"I'll going to take Anaya away."
"Take her away? What about my condition? Where's the boy I asked for? Is he here? I said that I'll let you take her away as long as I see the boy."
Upon hearing her words, Mango's eyes narrowed slightly.
"That's my son. It's impossible for me to bring him to this place."
"Then we've nothing else to talk about."
With malicious intent glittering in her eyes, Yama Hades looked at Desmond who was standing behind her, and said, "Or maybe I can switch the condition. Leave this guy here, and you can take the little girl away. What's more, I can even guarantee you safe passage out of here."
"No way! He's human, and an independent person. I don't have any right to make any decisions for him. Moreover, what do you want him for? Will you tell me?"
Desmond was taken aback by her words.
Mango had completely changed his negative thoughts about people.
It turned out that not everyone was bad, and not all of them were only out for profit.
Thus, he was touched.
On the contrary, Yama Hades became even more displeased.
"You refuse to hand over your son, and you also disregard my wish to let this guy stay? Do you think I'll just let this little girl leave with you without getting anything in return? I bet you've also seen the enormous number of people outside. Hence, if you don't agree to one of my conditions today, you can never get out of here." "Fine! Do as you please! I'm still sleepy, so I'm
going back to my room."
After she said that, she took Anaya and Desmond with her and walked outside.
"You..."
On the other hand, Yama Hades didn't expect Mango to do this. She was so angry that she didn't know what to do.
Meanwhile, Desmond suddenly laughed.
"You're really unpredictable."
"She has a strange temperament, so I'd be led by the nose if I don't act against her will. Besides, there's nowhere I can go. Frankly, she's right. My body can't hold on any longer, and I still have to wait for him." Mango's gaze became gentle at the thought of Nathaniel.
Her eyes were filled with her love and fondness for him, and Desmond could clearly see it.
Perhaps this was what real love was like?
Desmond didn't know why, but he felt that it was a wondrous feeling.
Meanwhile, Anaya followed Mango back to the ward without saying another word.
Mango couldn't help but feel a little awkward when she noticed that Desmond was also following them.
"Um, Anaya and I will be fine staying here alone."
"Then I'll find a room next door."
Desmond understood the meaning behind her words immediately.
However, Mango hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it, you'd better stay here, but you'll have to sleep on the ground. I'm afraid that if you leave my sight, Yama Hades might do something harmful to you. I bet you noticed it from her enthusiastic gaze earlier."
Desmond had seen the kind of expression reflected in Yama Hades' eyes ever since he was a child. Therefore, of course, he knew the meaning behind it. Upon hearing this, a trace of gloom flashed across his
eyes.
"I'll do whatever you like."
In the end, Desmond stayed in the same room as them with Mango's permission.
Just as they were settling down, a figure suddenly jumped in from the window and appeared before Mango.
