The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 565

"What do you mean?"

Hearing his words, Mango felt that it was unbelievable.

However, Nathaniel switched the topic and said with a smile, "Have you rested well?"

Mango's face suddenly flushed red.

"Um!"

"Why are you so enthusiastic today?"

Nathaniel stepped forward and held her in his arms.

Mango smiled and said, "You don't like it?"

"Yes, I do."

Nathaniel could feel Mango's eagerness, but there was a trace of reluctance in her.

Perhaps their sweet moments could only last for two days?

She didn't dare to think about it, nor did she dare to ask or talk about it.

After the two of them got dressed up, Mango said in a low voice, "We can't provoke Yama Hades before the rescuers arrive." "What does that woman want?" Upon hearing his question, Mango immediately knew that he already found out about everything. Thus, she told him that Yama Hades had requested to meet Zion.

"Meet my son? Who does she think she is?"

"It doesn't matter. The most important thing now is that we have to get along peacefully with her before Thomas comes to our rescue. After all, the people from the Underground City are all over the place. By the way, who started the Underground City? Everyone with power and money knows about it, and they auction illegal items in public. It seems that this person must have a strong and powerful background." Mango could sense that ever since she first entered the Underground City.

Nathaniel nodded and said, "Yes, the place has the most advanced medical equipment in it, and it even has the world's top hypnotist. We really shouldn't underestimate the influence of this person."

"Could it be Nick?"

Mango asked subconsciously, but felt that she might've made an inappropriate statement. Then she looked at Nathaniel nervously.

However, Nathaniel wasn't shocked at all. Instead, he said in a low voice, "It's not him. Although he is close to the person behind the Underground City, he is definitely not the one. He doesn't have the ability. If he does, he wouldn't have to go back to Ocean City and use all those underhanded tactics against us. What's more, he still needs to go through me to take down the HY Group and achieve his purposes." "What is it? What does he want?"

Mango creased her eyebrows.

Nathaniel's eyes darkened, and his voice turned hoarse.

"He should be targeting me."

"You? What's he trying to do to you?"

"I'm not sure, but it wasn't something good. Perhaps we weren't brothers anymore from the moment he fell in love with Macy Cho."

Nathaniel felt hurt when he talked about it.

That Macy Cho!

The woman was dead but still ended up being their biggest nightmare. He knew that he shouldn't have involved himself with her! Nathaniel thought about this to himself.

Hearing this, Mango said in a low voice, "Perhaps we can explain it to Nick."

"If it could be explained so easily, then it wouldn't have led to this situation. I'm also very puzzled.

He can just tell me directly if he wanted the HY Group. I could've given him anything he wanted except for you. Why does he have to make these detours? Besides, as a businessman, he doesn't need to scheme against others just like what happened in the shooting club back in the Ocean City. Honestly, I really can't figure out his intentions. Sometimes I even feel that his soul has been replaced even though he looks like himself."

Mango was stunned for a moment.

"Replaced?"

"Yeah, it's just like the fairy tales where the character's souls were switched. Don't mind me, I think I'm crazy."

Nathaniel smiled bitterly.

However, Mango continued seriously, "No, Walter also said that Nick wasn't like this in the past. He would do anything to protect you and the Ye Family."

"He was indeed like that in the past. However, he's really different now, and I really can't decipher his thoughts. For instance, he actually wanted to kill Zion. Or perhaps, the plan started with Anaya being sold and me leaving Ocean City."

Mango was suddenly stunned.

"Are you saying that when he said he was going to kill Zion, he knew that both Zion and Wisdom were eavesdropping?" "It's not impossible. Think about it, who taught Zion and Wisdom the skills? Wasn't it Nick? As the former leader of the Dark Night Empire, would he be fooled by the children? Maybe the manager didn't notice the presence of Wisdom and Zion, but I'm not sure about Nick. Now think about it, if he was aware of their presence at that time and deliberately said that he would kill Zion, what would their reaction be?"

Mango hurriedly said, "Wisdom will report to us regardless for the sake of protecting Zion."

"Yes. However, Wisdom ran out and Zion was left alone there. Coincidentally, Zion was locked up with Gissel. During this period, the children in the club were sold and trafficked out of the club. I checked and found that many children were abused in the club, but almost none were sold. Anaya was the first one."

Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango's brows furrowed even deeper.

"Does this mean that all of this is Nick's idea? He intentionally asked someone to sell Anaya off, and then made us mistakenly believe that it was Zion, leading you to leave the Ocean City and come here? His actual target is you?"

She felt a chill run down her spine at the thought of this.

How could Nathaniel bear being betrayed by his own brother?

Mango looked at Nathaniel with a worried expression.

Nathaniel held her hand tightly and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Although I feel like dying from the hurt, I will never back down for the sake of you and the children."

"I'm so sorry to put you in a difficult position."

Of course, Mango knew that Nathaniel wasn't in a good mood. She sighed softly and pulled him into her embrace, "Why did he do this? I heard from Ryan that you were hypnotized. Could it be that his ultimate goal is to control you? What's the benefit of doing so? If he really hates you, he can just kill you. He knew that he'd be in danger if you were alive. However, instead of killing you, he actually played you just to control you. What does he want you around for?"

"I don't know."

Nathaniel wondered the same thing as well.

Just then, Mango suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, do you know who Boston is?"

"You mean the Boston from the company?"

Mango nodded her head immediately.

"Yes, him. What have you given him for safekeeping? Nick was looking for me in order to contact Boston and was trying to force him into returning something. He even threatened me into doing it by holding Rita hostage."

Hearing this, Nathaniel frowned even deeper.

"He threatened you with Rita?"

"Yes, if it weren't for Walter, I really wouldn't know how to explain if anything happened to the children."

"You don't have to. You have been working hard to raise the kids since they were born, and my contributions can't be compared to you. I believe in you, and I know your unconditional love for the kids. So, no matter what situation the children are in, don't blame yourself for anything that happened, because you are the greatest mother."

Mango was touched by his words.

"Thank you for believing in me."

"Silly girl, you don't have to thank me. I should thank you more for giving birth to such cute children for me. Thank you for loving me. I'm willing to go through thick and thin with you for the sake of our family." Mango felt sorry for him upon hearing his words.

She hadn't spent enough time with him, and their happy moments were soon coming to an end.

Unfortunately, she didn't have much time left.

She was able to overcome all the difficulties she faced along the way. However, she just couldn't defeat sickness and the fear of death.

Mango concealed her sorrows and plastered a smile. "What's with you? Is it time for an appreciation speech now?"

"Sweetheart, to be honest, it's truly a blessing to have you in my life."

Nathaniel said it with a serious expression.

Mango could feel her heart thumping in her chest like a jackrabbit.

"We're already an old married couple. There's no need for this. Let's talk about what happened between you and Boston. What did you give him to keep?" Nathaniel paused and said in a low voice, "Can I tell you about this later?"

"Why?"

"It's not a good time now."

Nathaniel signalled her with a gaze, and Mango immediately understood what was going on.

He was afraid that someone would be monitoring their conversation.

However, since he wasn't afraid of others hearing the conversation they exchanged previously, then what was the difference?

He had ordered Boston to safeguard a relatively important thing. Therefore, he had to be very cautious.

Although Mango was very curious, she still nodded and said, "Let's go out for a walk."

"Alright."

Nathaniel grabbed her by the hand and led her out of the room together.

Meanwhile, Yama Hades was treating her patients in the other room. She was surprised to see Nathaniel.

"He doesn't look like someone from my hospital."

"So what?"

Mango replied faintly.

Yama Hades looked at Nathaniel, and her gaze suddenly changed.

"What's your father's name?"

Nathaniel did not answer.

Just as Mango was about to make up a name, Yama Hades interrupted, "Forget it, don't tell me if you don't want to. Don't run around, all right? If anything happens, don't come at me for not saving you guys." "Thanks anyway."

Although Mango did not know why Yama Hades suddenly turned a blind eye to Nathaniel, it was exactly what she wanted.

She quickly took Nathaniel out of the ward and walked to the yard outside.

Nathaniel whispered, "I suddenly feel that she looks a little familiar."

"Do you know her?"

"I'm not sure, but I think I've seen her somewhere."

Nathaniel had always had a good memory, but at this moment, he couldn't recall seeing Yama Hades at all.

Seeing Nathaniel's reaction, Mango was afraid of triggering his hypnosis. Then she quickly said, "Don't think about it. As long as she doesn't make us her enemy, that's fine. As for who she is, let's talk about it later. It's not anything particularly important, right?"

"That's true."

In the end, Nathaniel gave up.

Looking at the worried expression in Mango's eyes, he really felt that he was really disappointing.

He had promised to protect her, but eventually he was the one who made her worry. What should he do to make her happy?
