The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 650

"What are you doing here?"

Nathaniel blocked Bettany's path.

Bettany wasn't surprised at all when she saw Nathaniel. She didn't care much and said indifferently, "It seems like you don't want me to attend to Mango?"

"No, of course not! I'm just a little worried. You said that the probability of success is not high."

Hearing Nathaniel's words, Bettany said in a low voice, "It seems that you didn't tell Mango about this."

"I don't need you here for the time being. You can go back first and return later."

Nathaniel witnessed how Mango desperately wanted to get her throat treated. Right now, he was a little scared.

What would he do if Mango insisted on gambling her life?

Bettany glanced at Nathaniel. She paused for a moment and said, 'Til be in Estania these days. If you need anything, you can come to me at any time." "What are you doing here in Estania? Are you here just for Mango?"

Nathaniel became alert.

Bettany shook her head and said truthfully, "There are some things that need to be dealt with. I came to check on Mango after I learned that she's here. I don't care whether she wants to treat her throat or not, but I'm here to check up on Wisdom. Is he doing better now?"

Hearing her words, Nathaniel breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wisdom is doing much better, but he can't go with you now."

"Mr. Ye, I just want to know, is the promise between me and Wisdom still valid?"

Hearing Bettany's question, Nathaniel's expression turned a little grim.

"Wisdom has just gotten better. Isn't it inappropriate for you to mention this now?"

"I'm just asking. Of course, our deal can start at any time, but don't delay his medical study."

After that, Bettany left.

Nathaniel watched as she left, and he was in a daze.

When Rainie came out, she saw Nathaniel looking at the corner in a trance-like state.

She couldn't help but step forward and look in the direction that he was staring. However, she didn't find anyone or anything interesting.

Nathaniel suddenly sensed another person's presence. When he turned around, he saw Rainie standing beside him, and she was fixing her eyes on something.

"What are you doing?"

"I should be the one asking you this, ain't it? What are you doing here?"

When Rainie saw Nathaniel acting like this, she felt that something was wrong.

However, Nathaniel said calmly, "Why do you care so much?"

"I don't care about you."

Rainie glanced at him and walked away. After a few steps, she stopped. Then, she turned to him again and said, "You'd better not provoke Mango too much. Although you did a good job, I still don't approve of you guys being together."

"You're not her."

After saying that, Nathaniel turned around and went into the ward.

When Denver came out, he happened to bump into Nathaniel.

When he and Nathaniel brushed past each other, he whispered, "Do you have time to have a chat another day?" "Sure."

After saying that, Nathaniel stepped into the ward.

Mango had already closed her eyes as she was in the midst of her nap.

However, Nathaniel knew that she was not asleep. She just did not want to talk to him

He didn't mind it as he came to the table and tidied up the lunchbox and chopsticks before sitting down in front of her bed.

Mango thought that he would leave after cleaning up, but she never expected to see him sitting down.

She suddenly opened her eyes, only to see Nathaniel looking at her dotingly.

She was a little annoyed, but it was a pity that she couldn't even curse at him. She could only glare at him before turning her head away. Seeing her childish actions, Nathaniel smiled and said, "You're a grown woman, yet you're still so cute."

What the hell!

Mango cursed at him in her heart.

"Don't think that I can't hear you if you scold me in secret."

As soon as he finished speaking, she turned around in surprise.

How did he know?

Nathaniel could read the expression on her face. Then, he smiled, "I can read your mind."

What the f*ck!

Mango cursed out once again in her heart.

"Ah, you scolded me again."

Nathaniel pointed it out.

By then, Mango was a little gloomy.

She pulled the blanket over her face.

Nathaniel quickly pulled the quilt down and said, "Don't cover yourself. You already can't speak, what would I do if anything else happens to you?"

Mango felt that Nathaniel was there to annoy and infuriate her.

She suddenly reached out her hand and pushed him, which meant she wanted him to leave.

Nathaniel felt the strength exerted by her weak hands while she was pushing him. Then, he smiled as he enjoyed the peace and serenity that was hard to come by.

Mango tried hard to push him away but he didn't budge at all. In the end, she was left panting heavily.

Nathaniel smiled and stroked her hair while he asked softly, "Do you really want to regain your voice? Even if you have to risk your life, do you still want to do it?" Mango was immediately stunned.

There had to be a reason for him to say this.

A ray of hope rose in her heart.

Nathaniel could tell the answer already from her reaction.

As a healthy person, who would want to be mute fortheir entire life?

"You have an idea, don't you?"

Mango made a gesture and asked him.

Nathaniel was in the middle of a dilemma.

He also hoped that she would recover one day. After all, she had been through many ups and downs. However, the risk that she had to take to heal her throat was definitely not something he could bear. Seeing that he remained silent, she tugged on his hand anxiously.

This was the first time Mango had taken the initiative to hold his hands after Madam Ye's incident.

He was a little excited, but at the same time, he felt sad.

How did they end up like this?

He looked at Mango and said in a low voice, "Yes, I have an idea. However, you have to agree to one condition."

"What's the condition?"

Mango asked anxiously.

Nathaniel looked at her and muttered, "Stay with me for seven days. In that period, you belong to me completely. After that, I will arrange the surgery for you."

Mango became silent in an instant.

Seven days in exchange for her lifelong recovery seemed like a good deal. However, she wasn't quite pleased with it.

She knew that she shouldn't put the blame on Nathaniel for what Madam Ye did to her. But what could she do?

She was also helpless!

After all, she lost her grandmother!

Nathaniel tensed up when he noticed that Mango had fallen silent.

Did she really not want to be with him?

He was deeply hurt.

"Didn't you say that you would do anything in order to recover your ability to speak? Can't you even promise me such a small request?"

Nathaniel's urging was slightly unbearable to Mango.

She was desperate to regain her voice, but...

Right at this moment, a tender voice rang out.

"Mommy, just accept it. You're not losing anything if you accompany him for seven days in exchange for a chance at recovery, which lasts a lifetime. Besides, aren't you guys still husband and wife? At the very least, you can divorce Mr. Ye after seven days."

Zion's voice resounded, and Nathaniel's lip twitched upon hearing what he had to say.

"You little brat, are you really my son?"

Nathaniel simply couldn't understand why Zion would say something like that.

Zion was pushed into the room by Wisdom. Then, he said nonchalantly, Tm your son, but mommy gave birth to me. In comparison, it's logical that I have a closer relationship with mommy, right?"

As he spoke, Zion smiled in an indulgent manner and ran towards Mango.

Although Wisdom did not speak, his expression was much better and he also had a hint of a smile on his face.

Mango suddenly felt as if she had been teased by

her sons.

She looked at Zion in embarrassment as she gestured and asked, "Why did you come here? Are your legs better now?"

"Oh, Mommy, you don't have to worry about me or Wisdom either. Well be fine. Just relax and go on a vacation. Seven days is short. Mr. Ye, why don't you book a flight ticket? Don't you want some alone time with mommy away from all of us?"

Zion's words immediately cheered Nathaniel up.

He looked at Mango and asked in a gentle voice, "Do you agree?"

Since she was pushed to this point, did it even matter if she disagreed?

If she accepted it, the children would definitely laugh at her. However, if she refused, it seemed that even the voice in her heart was telling her to be with Nathaniel again.

She glared at Nathaniel with a bitter look, and then turned her head around to ignore him

"What do you say?"

Nathaniel didn't get a definite answer, so he asked again unwillingly.

Upon seeing this, Zion facepalmed himself.

"Mr. Ye, why are you so dumb? Mommy didn't shake her head, so this means that she agrees. What else do you want her to say? Do you not wish for her to accept it?"

"Is that true?"

Nathaniel was overjoyed. He couldn't care less about his son's presence and kissed Mango on the cheek.

"I'm going to buy a flight ticket."

After that, he ran out.

"Oh God, my eyes! Come on, we are still children!"

Zion covered his eyes exaggeratedly. Wisdom did the same, causing Mango's face to flush red from embarrassment.

She wanted to drive the two children away, but she couldn't make a sound. She could only wave her hand as she blushed crimson again.

Zion saw that Mango was about to beat him up and hurriedly said, "Wisdom, let's leave. I feel a sense of impending doom, so hurry up!"

As he spoke, he rushed away in his wheelchair as if Mango was really going to hit him.

Mango almost burst out laughing after looking at them.

Wisdom smiled at Mango before he pushed Zion out of the ward.

When Mango was the only one left in the room, she suddenly felt a little out of place.

Did she really have to go with Nathaniel?

They hadn't had a honeymoon when they got married. Now, with Madam Ye's matter and Madam Hans's death separating them, could they spend seven days together without any issues?

She was having mixed emotions.

In the end, she told herself not to think about it.

Since this was the case, then she would take one step at a time. No matter what, this was just merely a transaction.

She would accompany Nathaniel for seven days, and get her throat treated. After that, they were no longer entangled anymore.

Mango told herself this, and she felt a little better when she thought about it that way. That was the only way she would feel a little less guilty towards the Hans family and Madam Hans.
