The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 575

Nathaniel's face took on a ghastly expression. If it was really that Fang Family, then it would be quite troublesome indeed.

What did Abyss have to do with the Fang family? Why did he make Mango have a similar face to the daughter of the Fang family?

He had no idea, nor did he have time to investigate it. Therefore, he could only leave the problem behind for now.

Meanwhile, Desmond already went to look for Wisdom, while Anaya came to sit beside Nathaniel.

Nathaniel was extremely concerned about Mango, and he was a bundle of nerves. Then he took a glance at Anaya when she walked over.

Anaya took out a pen and paper and wrote down, "I'm sorry. It was me who interrupted the timing when she could've gone to save you guys. I'm the one who made her teach Emberly Wang a lesson at the Equatorial Hotel before telling her about your whereabouts. It's all my fault."

"Emberly? What did she do to you?"

Nathaniel knew that a kind girl like Anaya wouldn't have done it on purpose. He believed that it was probably because Emberly had gone too far that caused her to act in such a way. Despite that, he still wanted to know what exactly happened.

Anaya told him the truth, which was that she had almost died in Emberly's hands. She also told him how Mango had saved her from danger. Hearing her words, he realised that she was feeling guilty and conflicted.

She looked in the direction of the operating room and wrote, "If anything happens to her, I will make up for it with my life."

"She'll be fine. Don't think too much. Why don't you go back and have a rest?"

Nathaniel knew that Anaya was blaming herself for this, so he didn't want to reproach her anymore.

Anaya wanted to say something more, but she eventually changed her mind before she left immediately.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was left alone in the corridor, and he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

As he looked toward the operating room, memories from the last five years where Mango had been by his side suddenly emerged. The feeling of fear and worry once again surfaced in his mind. Yama Hades could definitely save Mango!

She was going to succeed, right?

Nathaniel was eagerly trying to remain composed and he calmed himself down.

The operation had been going on for approximately 4 hours, and Nathaniel had been waiting outside anxiously. He had not been eating or drinking during that period.

Soon, Desmond returned and he brought Wisdom back with him.

Once Wisdom saw Nathaniel, he immediately cried out, "Uncle, I'm sorry, it's all my dad's fault. I'm here to repay for his wrongdoings, so let me be that woman's apprentice. Besides, I really want to learn about medicine from her because I'm not interested in doing business at all. My father will certainly force me to go into business when I return home, and I don't want to. Uncle, I don't want to see you and my father turn against each other. Just let me stay here, I beg of you."

On the other hand, Nathaniel was extremely upset by his words.

He'd watched Wisdom grow up under his care. However, now he no longer had a cheerful smile on his face. Instead, he had become so depressed.

Nathaniel sat Wisdom on his lap and asked in a low voice, "Do you know what it means to leave home for ten years? You will lose your freedom, and you will no longer have someone to serve you like how you did at home. What's more, you even have to cater to Yama Hades' every whim instead. Have you really thought about it?"

"I've thought about it. Mommy said that the only way to learn is by personally experiencing hardship so that I can rise above the ordinary. I've been under your protection for so long, so it's time for me to be independent."

Hearing this, Nathaniel felt even more sorry for him.

Wisdom had already experienced the pain of losing his mother at a young age. Now, he was forced to go through a strict transformation because of his father. Furthermore, Wisdom had personally witnessed everything that Nick had done to Zion and Mango. To be honest, Nathaniel was really afraid that a young child like him could not handle it.

Now that he decided that he wanted to leave home and out of Nick's sight, it must be because he couldn't take it any longer, right?

That was fair. It was too much for a four-year-old child to endure.

Nathaniel looked at Wisdom and he had no idea how to decide.

"Are you sure? Wisdom, if you agree, you won't be able to come back for ten years."

"I've made up my mind. I want to study medicine."

Wisdom looked at Nathaniel and answered with certainty.

Nathaniel did not know whether he should let Wisdom stay. However, he had to compromise since Wisdom insisted on it.

"I will send someone to protect you, and they will not disturb you, nor will they interfere with your studies. If anything goes wrong, I will definitely bring you home. If you regret your decision and want to go home, I will come and pick you up."

"Thank you, uncle."

Wisdom nodded.

Nathaniel realized that it had been a long time since he saw Wisdom's smile. Wisdom used to be a carefree, down-to-earth, and sometimes timid child when Macy was still alive. Nevertheless, Wisdom used to have a joyful childhood and a happy life.

Although Wisdom had been somewhat depressed after Macy's death, he was still cheerful when he was with Zion.

However, Wisdom seemed to have changed drastically since Nick came back.

He stopped smiling as much as he distanced himself from them. Furthermore, he started hiding his true feelings and emotions.

Wisdom seemed to have suddenly grown up and become more mature. However, he was silent and depressed, which made Nathaniel feel sorry for him.

Then, Nathaniel hugged him tightly and whispered, "Remember, no matter what happens, you will always be my beloved son."

Upon hearing this, tears immediately welled up in Wisdom's eyes.

"Daddy!"

He hugged Nathaniel tightly and burst into tears.

In the end, he collapsed in Nathaniel's arms and fell asleep.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was heartbroken upon looking at the tear streaks on Wisdom's cheeks.

He hugged him tightly and refused to let go. Then, he waited for Mango as Wisdom slept by his side.

Finally, Mango was wheeled out of the operating room after a long wait.

Yama Hades looked a little pale, and it seemed like she was worn out from the surgery.

Upon noticing Wisdom being held in Nathaniel's embrace, she immediately grabbed him and hugged him tightly.

"This is what you promised me in advance. You are not allowed to go back on your word now. He's mine from now on for ten years. Don't think about stealing him away now."

On the other hand, Wisdom woke up immediately after being grabbed forcefully by her.

He looked around in a daze and was stunned for a moment after realizing that he was in Yama Hades' arms.

Nathaniel looked at Wisdom and immediately said, "There's still time for you to go back on your decision if you want. As long as you refuse to stay here, Daddy will take you home immediately." Wisdom felt as if he had gone back to the time when Macy was still alive, and Nathaniel would hug him every day after work.

In fact, he had always wanted to call Nathaniel his daddy, but he couldn't.

That was because Nathaniel was his uncle!

He was Zion's father!

It was fine because he didn't know it before, but how could he still do it after knowing that Nathaniel belonged to Zion?

He had monopolized Zion's dad for five years, hadn't he? It was time to return Nathaniel to Zion.

Besides, he didn't have a mother and his biological father disliked him. Therefore, why should he stay in the Ye Family? Now, he could save his mommy after agreeing to Yama Hades' apprenticeship. That wasn't so bad, was it? Wisdom's thoughts raced around his head. Suddenly, he turned back and looked at Yama Hades, "How is my mommy doing?" Yama Hades' demeanor suddenly became gentle when Wisdom asked her this question.

"Don't worry. Everything will be fine as long as I'm here. She just needs to go back and rest, and she will feel better soon." "Really? You're not lying to me, are you? I refuse to learn medicine from a liar."

"Of course not."

Upon hearing Yama Hades's words, Nathaniel breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly ran over to check on Mango's condition. Looking at her pale face, he swore to himself that he would not let her suffer anymore.

In the end, Wisdom decided to be with Yama Hades.

However, Nathaniel listed out several conditions to Yama Hades, which she agreed to. Therefore, Wisdom would have two bodyguards with him during his stay with Yama, and also he was allowed to call home whenever he feels like it.

Surprisingly, Yama Hades fulfilled his wishes willingly.

Nathaniel was startled by how she treated Wisdom with gentleness and care. Although he was curious, he didn't have much time to inquire about it.

Meanwhile, Mango was sent to the ward and she was being monitored for the entire night. After confirming that she had no fever, Yama Hades announced that her condition was stabilized.

The next morning, Nathaniel's men arrived.

Jigsaw frowned slightly when he saw Nathaniel's men around.

Then, his subordinate asked, "Mr. Coon, are we going to let them in just like that? What if Nathaniel doesn't give you what you want?"

"I still have a backup plan. If he really doesn't give it to me, then I won't be the one getting blamed. However, his title and reputation in Ocean City aren't for nothing. So, I'm confident that he will give it to me. After all, Mango is his weakness. If that woman really dies, then there's nothing we can use to threaten him with. Thus, it's better to let

Mango live."

Jigsaw said confidently while smoking his cigar.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel used a helicopter to take Mango back to Ocean City.

When he carried Mango back to The Ye's Mansion, Nick was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't expected Nathaniel's sudden return.

"Brother?"

Nathaniel glanced at him, but he didn't say anything. Then, he immediately carried Mango upstairs and went to the bedroom. He finally came out after settling her down on the bed.

"Bring back the servants from before and have mom come home. Don't make me hurt you."

After saying that, Nathaniel went to the kitchen to prepare some porridge for Mango.

Sensing his demeanour, Nick was actually a little scared.

He couldn't see through Nathaniel's thoughts at all.

However, he believed that Nathaniel had found out about everything that happened in A City. Although it was obvious that Nathaniel had discovered the truth, his cold and indifferent attitude made Nick a little uneasy.

When Nathaniel came out and noticed Nick in the living room, he said coldly, "What's wrong? Do you need me to throw them out?"

"No, I'll let them go now."

Nick wanted to discern Nathaniel's true feelings from his gaze. However, Nathaniel's attitude remained calm and nonchalant.

How could he be so calm?

In fact, he had heard about Mango's situation. If it weren't for the fact that he actually forced Mango to find Boston, she would probably not have ended up in this state.

Right now, Mango was still in a coma. Wasn't she Nathaniel's beloved? Why didn't he do anything to Nick?

Nick was full of doubts, but he didn't know how to ask.

Then he withdrew his men from the mansion, and he also sent someone to bring Madam Ye back.

After that, Madam Ye looked at Nick and heaved a deep sigh. Her eyes were filled with disappointment, but she didn't say anything. When she saw Nathaniel, she asked anxiously, "How's Mango?" "She's fine. She just needs some rest."

Then, Nathaniel personally sent Madam Ye back to her room.

When everything was settled and Nathaniel was about to say something to Nick, Thomas suddenly came in with a report in his hand.
