The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 615

Just when everyone was at a loss, Merle arrived.

"Lady Rita, shall I take you away?"

Rita paused for a moment when she saw Merle.

She knew Merle. He worked for her mom.

Rita raised her head, looked at Merle with her big doe eyes, and asked, "Uncle Merle, you will take me to see mommy, right?"

"Yes, I'll take you to see mommy!"

Merle's words made Rita let go of the bed and she stood up.

Merle saw that Rita was a little dirty and he asked someone to change her into clean clothes.

Rita did not resist the whole time.

After Merle left The Ye's Mansion with Rita, Madam Ye suddenly said, "Where is Rita? Bring her over. I want to talk to her."

"Madam Ye, Mr. Malthus took Lady Rita away."

"What?"

Madam Ye frowned slightly.

"Who let him take her away?"

"Madam Ye, wasn't that your order? Mr. Malthus works under you, and all of us thought..."

"What a good-for-nothing! Find them!"

Madam Ye flew into a rage instantly.

Merle Malthus!

He actually dared to betray Madam Ye?

Merle took Rita out of The Ye's Mansion. They went straight to the military compound, to Genevieve's parents' home.

Merle kept a spare key the last time because of their unique relationship.

Rita couldn't help but ask Merle when he brought her there, "Uncle Merle, where's my mommy? Why did you bring me here?"

Merle didn't know how to answer Rita's question, and he could only reply, "Rita, be a good girl. We will stay here for a few days, okay? There are bad guys at home, so wait for your daddy to pick you up, all right?"

"I know. Uncle Merle is protecting me, right? That person is not my grandmother. She is a witch, isn't she?"

Merle was left speechless by Rita's innocent words.

He didn't know that Madam Ye would be that cruel to Mango.

It was already too late by the time he returned.

He had heard that Mango was heavily injured and her arm was crippled. Furthermore, she had become mute.

Merle felt that his heart was sliced to pieces after he heard the rumors.

He did not know how much of a blow Madam Hans's death was to Mango, but he would not let Madam Ye lock Rita up especially since she sent Zion away.

He hated his hesitation, and he hated himself for not siding with Mango. If it was Nathaniel, he would have sided with Mango without a second thought even though he knew it would provoke Madam Ye. Why did he hesitate at the beginning?

Merle looked at Rita and said apologetically, "Yes, she is an old witch."

"I knew that she wasn't my grandmother. My grandmother treats me very well. She cooks delicious food for me and lets me play games. She never speaks loudly to me. That old witch is different. She's so horrid. How could she be my grandmother?"

Rita said, but her eyes were filled with tears.

It was not that Rita did not understand, but she just could not accept everything at once. She chose to comfort herself by saying that Madam Ye was not her grandmother. It seemed that this was the only way she could overcome it, and she could only grieve alone.

Merle's heart ached when he saw this scene.

What would Mango do if she knew that her daughter had suffered all of this?

Merle hugged Rita tightly and whispered, "I will protect you as long as I am alive." "Thank you, Uncle Merle."

Rita leaned into his arms. She missed her parents and her elder brother dearly.

She felt tired and fell asleep leaning on Merle.

Merle carried Rita onto the bed and called Nathaniel again. However, his phone was still turned off.

He knew that Nathaniel was undergoing a special mission, but why did it have to happen now?

Merle didn't know what Nathaniel would feel when he found out, but he could only wait here.

Madam Ye was furious when she found out that Merle took Rita to the military compound after a lengthy search.

"D*mn it! I raised him all these years, but he ends up being seduced by a woman. He knows that I can't enter the military compound, so he hid there. How dare he!"

None of her subordinates dared to speak.

Madam Ye went back to her room after throwing a tantrum. No one knew what she did in her room.

According to the original plan, Mango and Wisdom were supposed to be sent to a ship prepared by Madam Ye, and they were to leave Ocean City immediately. However, Wisdom grabbed ahold of the leader of the group of people who were supposed to send them off.

The leader had once received Nathaniel's help before. Thus, his heart couldn't help but soften when he saw Wisdom grabbing onto him.

"Sir Wisdom, I'm afraid I can't let you go."

Wisdom looked around and wrote down an address for him.

The leader looked at it and frowned slightly. He crumpled the paper and said to the others, "I can send them off on my own. You can go back first." "Sir, is this a good idea?"

"Have you all forgotten? Madam Ye is not the only person in charge of the Ye Family. Mr. Ye is occupied with something now, but when he comes back, do you think he'll let us go especially with his feelings for Mrs. Ye? Madam Ye is not easy to deal with, but we also know how cruel Mr. Ye can be, don't we? No matter what, we must have a backup plan for ourselves. Don't we all know who the future head of the Ye Family is?"

The others kept silent after they heard the leader's words.

After about a minute, they said collectively, "Sir, we'll head back first. We'll just say that we sent them away when Madam Ye asks us later."

"Yeah, let's corroborate our statements."

The leader boarded the ship with Mango and Wisdom after he sent his men away.

Wisdom had been guarding Mango the entire time. He didn't even blink as he stared straight at her.

He took out a towel and gently wiped the blood off Mango's body.

The leader felt a lump in his throat when he saw the scene.

He quickly set off the ship and sent them to Yama Hades over in A City.

Bettany was completely stunned the moment she saw Wisdom.

"Kid, why are you guys here? Nathaniel and Jigsaw are having a terrible fight now. Do you have a death wish?"

Wisdom quickly grabbed Bettany's hand and pulled her towards Mango, He uttered a few words.

"Save her, please."

There was a trace of tears in his eyes and it made Bettany felt uncomfortable.

She looked at Mango again, and she was stunned when she saw the wounds all over Mango's body.

"How did this happen? Who did this? How long has it been since her operation? I can let the fact that her hand was broken previously slide, but how did she become like this after going to Ocean City?" "Yama Hades, Mrs. Ye was force-fed a drug to make her mute. Do you think you can help her?"

The leader couldn't bear to see Mango like this. He knew how good of a doctor Bettany was, and he asked quickly.

Bettany's frown deepened.

"Who was vicious enough to hurt a woman like this? Did Nathaniel's men just ignore her?"

The leader quickly lowered his head and said in a low voice, "It's Madam Ye. I don't understand what's happened between them, but please save Mrs. Ye."

"People who were forced to take a drug like that would usually have their vocal cords injured. In that case, I would be helpless even if I was God. I'll do my best for the other injuries. Ah, I've told her a long time ago that men can't be trusted. She just won't listen to my advice."

Bettany ordered someone to carry Mango inside as she spoke.

This woman was simply too stupid to land herself in such a difficult position.

Wisdom followed Bettany closely and did not leave even when she performed the surgery.

Wisdom seemed to be numb towards the sight of blood.

Bettany couldn't help but sigh when she saw this, "What a sin. Someone tortured this lovely child into autism. Do these adults really think that children can bear everything?"

She patted Wisdom's head before she set Mango's arm. The wound on her back had also been dealt with and Bettany applied ointment on the bruises.

Wisdom stayed close to Mango when she was sent into the ward.

"Wisdom, come with me. Your clothes are very dirty. Let's go and change it."

Bettany tried to pull Wisdom out of the ward, but Wisdom didn't move at all.

He sat and guarded Mango's bed. He did not utter a single word, but he clearly expressed that he did not want to leave.

Bettany's heart ached and she said in a low voice,

"Your dirty clothes may have a lot of germs on them. It'll be even worse if she gets infected by it. Listen to me, let's go get changed into a set of clean clothes, ok? Relax, no one can hurt you and your mum with me here."

Wisdom frowned slightly. He followed Bettany to change into a set of clean clothes and went back immediately.

Bettany could only let him be as she couldn't talk him out of it.

Meanwhile, Mango felt like she was on fire as it was hot and painful. She wanted to use her hands to scratch her itches, but her limbs were weak and she couldn't lift them up no matter how hard she tried.

In a trance, she seemed to see Madam Hans standing in front of her, caressing her face and whispering, "My poor child, live well. This is my only wish."

"Grandma! Grandma, don't go!"

Mango wanted to grab onto Madam Hans, but she walked further away while smiling.

"No! Grandma! Don't go!"

Mango cried out. However, Madam Hans had already disappeared, and it was replaced with Madam Ye's sinister face instead.

"Mango, as long as I'm here, don't think about being together with Nathaniel! You're not worthy to be the daughter-in-law of the Ye Family! You're just a piece of trash!"

"No, I'm not!"

Mango didn't want to hear it, but these words kept echoing in her ears.

She felt even hotter and the pain increased. It felt like she was suffocating.

She needed help!

"Nathaniel, where are you?"

Mango cried out, but she was unable to break free from this nightmare.

Wisdom stood up immediately when he saw Mango crying and shouting. He turned around and ran towards Bettany's office.

He grabbed her hand after he arrived and dragged her directly to the ward.

Bettany was shocked when she saw Mango.

"Oh no! How could this be?"
