The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 567

"Be careful!"

Desmond's voice resounded beside her ear.

Mango was slightly stunned. Before she could get out of Desmond's arms, Nathaniel interrupted coldly, "Let go of my wife."

Desmond glanced at him, and immediately let go of Mango without saying anything.

Mango wanted to explain, but she felt that it was unnecessary.

Next, Nathaniel pulled her behind him and gave Desmond a fierce look. Then he left with Mango.

"B*stard, stop right there! Don't think that women like us are gullible. Never bully her again!"

Yama Hades chased after him again, but unfortunately, Nathaniel ignored her completely.

The previously pleasant atmosphere was interrupted because of the two outsiders.

Mango glanced at Nathaniel and realized that he wasn't in a good mood. Then she muttered softly, "Desmond is really someone I bought in the auction. I did it for a friend, and it's just that she doesn't have the money to pay me back. That's why he is following me."

"Well, I believe you, but I don't like other men touching you."

Hearing his words, Mango almost burst out in laughter.

"I almost fell down just now, and he just helped me up. Frankly, you have to thank him instead."

"Sure, I'll give him a discount on his debt as a token of appreciation."

Nathaniel's words were unpleasant to the ear and it seemed like he was trying to use his money to oppress others. Despite that, Mango didn't say anything as she was afraid that he would get jealous again "Where are you taking me?"

"To get food, of course!"

After soon as he mentioned it, she realised that her stomach had started to rumble.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgotten that we haven't had dinner yet."

"I will never forget even if you do."

Nathaniel finally smiled and brought her to the canteen.

Although the hospital's facilities weren't very superb, the food was surprisingly good. Nathaniel and Mango were not particularly picky with their food, so they enjoyed the meal there. Besides, the food became even more delicious when they were eating with their loved ones.

Mango stared straight into his eyes, and he was a little embarrassed by it.

"What are you looking at?"

"You look very handsome, my love."

Hearing this, he paused for a moment, and his ears immediately flushed red. However, Mango pretended to be calm and said, "Isn't that a fact?"

"Stop it."

Honestly, she just couldn't get enough of him.

These days, Nathaniel had clearly lost some weight and she noticed that his jawline had become more apparent. Although she did not know what he had gone through in the Underground City, she knew that it wasn't something good.

"Nathan."

"Um?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to call your name."

Her tone was childlike as she spoke.

"I prefer hearing you call me honey."

"Honey!"

Mango immediately cried out, and her sweet voice took his breath away.

"Say it again." "Honey."

Right now, she was being very cooperative.

Nathaniel instantly let out a big grin, and he looked just like a child with their favorite toy.

However, Mango was actually full of sorrow upon seeing his smile.

She knew that everything would be different after the next two days. She couldn't bear to see him sad, but what could she do?

She wanted to be with him and to cherish every second with him. She didn't want their final moments to end in dispute or arguments. "Let's go stargazing after dinner."

She suddenly suggested.

On the other hand, Nathaniel was a little stunned.

"Stargazing?"

"Yes, although it is a little remote here, the surrounding air is fresh. I haven't seen such bright stars for a long time."

She realised that the sky had already turned dark after she looked up.

Time flew by so quickly.

Especially the time she spent with Nathaniel.

She had felt dizzy just now, and she wondered if it was a sign.

She had no clue, but all she wanted now was to spend some time with Nathaniel.

That feeling would never fade because she'd spent far too little time with him.

Although he didn't know what was so interesting about the stars, he still agreed to it.

"Alright. Eat up. I don't want you to get hungry later on."

"Alright."

After they finished their dinner, they immediately walked to the garden.

All of a sudden, she climbed onto the roof like a rambunctious child, and he was stunned by her actions.

Mango had always been gentle and proper, and she never did anything inappropriate. However, she was climbing onto the roof like a country girl and waving at him happily.

"Come on up! You can see it better from a higher view. It's also closer to the sky."

He felt that she was extremely cute and naive.

No matter how close she was to the sky, she couldn't reach the stars, right?

He suddenly had an idea.

With a smile, he quickly climbed onto the roof and sat beside her. Stretching out his hand, he grabbed her shoulder and pulled her into his embrace. Then, he said gently, "Alright. How is it now?" "It's beautiful. Everything's good as long as I'm with you."

Feeling a little chilly, she curled herself up and moved closer to him.

He immediately took off his coat and put it around her shoulders.

His faint scent wafted into her nose.

She liked the feeling of being immersed in his scent. Even if it was the last second of her life, she wasn't afraid as long as he was by her side.

Then, she hugged his waist tightly and said, "It's good to have you here with me. I'm really fortunate to be your wife in this life. Honestly, I would still fall in love with you in my next life."

"Silly, we still have a long way to go. Since you like stars so much, I will make them into a diamond ring for you, okay?"

He relayed his thoughts to her.

She was stunned, and she felt a little sad at the same time. However, she said with a smile, "Well, I'll love it as long as it's from you."

"Sometimes, I really hope that you would take the initiative to ask me for things. You know I'd do anything just to put a smile on your face. Mango, do you want to know something? Your smile is my favourite view right now."

Hearing this, her eyes welled up with tears again.

Why did he suddenly become so sweet?

It made her want to cry.

"I want nothing except for you."

Her words struck a chord in his heart. The corners of his mouth lifted up unconsciously, while his gaze became soft.

Then he responded, but right now, she couldn't hear clearly anymore.

She suddenly felt very tired, so tired that she wanted to sleep, but she couldn't. What if she fell asleep and failed to wake up again?

She still wanted to spend more time with Nathaniel, even if it was just a day.

The road to death was far too lonely and cold. She was afraid to go alone without him by her side.

Hence, she tried her best to resist the drowsiness, but her body was completely out of her control.

In the end, she collapsed into his arms in a deep sleep.

Seeing her like this, he was stunned for a moment

before he shook his head with a doting smile.

"Look at you, you're sleepy but you still insist on watching the stars. You're such a child, aren't you? Well, how are we going to climb down now?"

Nathaniel looked at her sleepy face helplessly. Then, he got up to carry her and climbed down from the roof carefully.

He carried her back to the ward, but she still did not wake up.

Then, he pulled the quilt over Mango and covered her with it. He went to bed as he held her tightly in his arms.

He hadn't slept very well these past few days. However, he immediately fell asleep with her presence beside him.

The night passed quickly.

The next day arrived, and Nathaniel awoke first.

He wanted to move, only to realize that his arm was being pinned down by Mango.

The morning sunlight shone on her face and it was immediately covered with a layer of golden light.

At this moment, she looked like an ethereal fairy who did not belong to the human world.

He almost laughed out loud at his absurd thought.

What was wrong with him?

Was he influenced by her child-like personality?

Then, he shook his head and pinched her nose with a gentle smile. Next, he said in a soft voice, "Get up, you lazy pig. The sun is already high in the sky. Shall we go out for a walk today?"

He thought that she would impatiently slap his hand away and turn around to continue sleeping. Perhaps, she would ask him to stop messing around.

Hence, he waited for a response.

However, a minute had passed, and she was still motionless.

Stunned, he pinched her nose once again and whispered in her ear, "Get up you lazy pig. If you don't get up now, I'll do some nasty things to you. Don't scream when you wake up, hm?"

He tickled and whispered into her ears as he was determined to wake her up from her deep sleep.

However, after a minute had passed, there was still no reaction from her.

Hence, he could no longer keep calm anymore.

"Mango, Mango, wake up!"

He quickly checked her pulse and breathing.

Fortunately, she was still breathing.

When such an idea flashed through his mind, he suddenly froze.

How could he think of that?

Could it be that Mango...

"Mango!"

He hurriedly checked her condition. She was doing fine except for the fact that she wasn't waking up.

How could this be?

Was she too tired?

This was just a guess but he knew that he should act quickly.

He quickly put on his clothes and ran to Yama Hades' office. He grabbed her collar and said anxiously, "What's wrong with my wife? Do you have any idea? Why isn't she waking up today?"

"What?"

Yama Hades was stunned for a moment, and then she said, "It shouldn't be like this. Her body should be able to support her for three days. Today is only the third day, why won't she wake up?" "What? What do you mean by three days? What happened to her?"

At this moment, Nathaniel almost had an urge to beat her up.

Yama Hades was dizzy because of Nathaniel shaking her. Then, she quickly said, "Stop it. It's useless even if you do this. Your wife is dying, and she did this in order to save you. You were extremely lucky to have one night with her. What else do you expect? I'd advise you to prepare a funeral for her if you have the time."

"Bullsh*t!"

Nathaniel punched her face, and blood immediately gushed out from her nose.

"I'll kill you if you dare say these things about Mango again!"
