The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 670

"No! Nathaniel!"

Edolie's voice was trembling with horror.

Nathaniel wanted to stop the car but the throbbing pain in his head urged him to get his medicine immediately. Yet, the drug flew out of the window because of his clumsiness and frustration.

At that moment, he tried stepping on the brake but the car fell straight off the cliff uncontrollably as his driving speed was too fast.

"Ahhl!"

Nathaniel heard Edolie's scream, loud and clear.

It was at that point that he knew that he was doomed!

It would be impossible for him to survive after falling off such a steep cliff!

At that moment, all Nathaniel could think of was Mango.

He wondered if Mango could handle it after hearing the bad news.

He didn't do it on purpose.

He really wanted to spend the rest of his life with her but that was no longer possible.

Nathaniel's migraine madly intensified but he still managed to take out his phone and send a message to Mango while the car was plunging. "Mango, don't forget that I love you!"

Nathaniel had to resend it a few times as the connection was unstable and he refused to let his phone slip away despite his bruised arm. The moment he saw that the message was successfully sent, he smiled in relief.

He had a thousand words to tell Mango yet he didn't have the time to do so.

Though, he was confident that Mango would stay strong.

She would definitely live through this.

No matter what, Mango would stick it out for the sake of the children, wouldn't she?

Nathaniel smiled with a tear at the corner of his eyes as he fell off the cliff with Edolie.

On the other hand, Mango heard her phone beep after she put Anaya into bed.

She checked her notification and found that it was a message from Nathaniel.

Mango smiled as soon as she saw the contents.

What was Nathaniel planning again?

She replied to Nathaniel, "When are you coming back? Let's have something delicious for dinner."

However, Nathaniel never responded.

Mango was unbothered by it as she thought that Nathaniel was busy driving.

Anaya was somewhat traumatized by the incident and couldn't sleep well, so Mango stayed by her side the entire time.

Time was ticking away but Nathaniel still hadn't come back.

Mango began to feel uneasy deep down.

Where did he go?

Didn't she ask him to come back earlier?

Moreover, how would he have the heart to let Mango deal with the situation all alone, knowing that Anaya had just been saved from the kidnappers?

Mango sent another message to Nathaniel.

"Where are you? When are you coming back?"

Yet, there was still no reply from Nathaniel.

Mango didn't give up and decided to call Nathaniel instead.

However, her call couldn't get through as Nathaniel's phone was disconnected.

Why was his phone disconnected?

Mango felt perturbed deep down.

Then, she contacted Merle and requested him to check what happened to Nathaniel.

Merle was very happy that Mango asked for his help again.

He brought his men with him to look for Nathaniel without further ado.

When Anaya woke up, Mango seemed to be in a daze, but she forced a smile and ordered some food for Anaya although she didn't have any appetite herself. Outside the window, the sky had darkened.

As Mango pulled the curtains open, she felt an ache in her heart out of the blue as if it was breaking apart. Then, she quickly crouched down as it was so painful. "Ms. Shen, what's wrong?"

Anaya came to her side quickly and asked with her gestures.

"I'm fine."

Mango gestured in response, but her face was rather pale.

Anaya helped her to the sofa and poured her a glass of hot water.

As Mango held the cup, she recalled how Nathaniel used to pour her hot water as well, but where was he right now?

Why could she not reach him?

Mango felt that her heartache was a sign of something odd happening.

She wanted to send a message to Rainie, but she didn't know what to tell her. So, she put her phone back down eventually.

Time passed by painfully slow with Mango's anxiousness.

She told Anaya to go to bed while she stayed on the sofa herself to wait for Nathaniel.

The sky was getting darker as Mango became increasingly heavy-hearted.

Did Nathaniel get caught up in a car accident?

"No... That can't be!"

Mango immediately denied her idea.

Nathaniel was a very agile man, so nothing could possibly happen to him.

However, Mango felt unsettled the moment she recalled that Nathaniel had migraines.

She paced back and forth in the living room until the crack of dawn, yet there was still no news of Nathaniel, and her calls still couldn't get through. Mango's heart gradually sank in despair.

When Merle finally came back, Mango appeared extremely haggard.

She looked at Merle and waited for him to speak.

Merle didn't have the heart to tell her the truth, so he said, "Madam, we haven't found him... Maybe Mr. Ye just lost his way, so let's wait for a while more."

Merle's eyes flickered and he didn't even dare to look straight into Mango's eyes as he spoke.

Suddenly, Mango stood up.

"Where is he? What happened?"

Mango typed on her phone to ask and Merle hurriedly said, "Nothing happened! Mr. Ye is agile and sure-footed, so he'll be fine."

"Merle, don't make me hate you a second time."

At that instant, Merle was frozen to the spot as Mango's words struck him.

He looked at Mango as he struggled with himself whether to spill the beans. Eventually, he gave in as he could no longer stand Mango's glare and said in a low voice, "Mr. Ye was in an accident." Mango's heart skipped a beat, and she almost blacked out although she had been mentally prepared for the worst. If Merle hadn't helped her, she would have collapsed to the ground.

"Madam, don't be too sad...the police haven't finalized their investigation yet." "The police?"

"Yes, Mr. Ye drove his car off the cliff and a woman was in the backseat...it was Edolie. From the inspection of the tire tracks at the scene, it seems that Mr. Ye had driven straight off the cliff, and the police speculate that they committed suicide together out of love."

Merle said cautiously.

A love suicide?

Mango was stunned, but she knew that it was just outsiders' speculation.

However, neither did she believe that Nathaniel would drive off the cliff just to commit suicide with Edolie.

Nathaniel wasn't a reckless person, and he was probably just trying to frighten Edolie.

Perhaps something came up while he was trying to scare her, and he couldn't stop the car in time.

Mango immediately thought of Nathaniel's migraine.

She felt extremely heartbroken.

"Take me there! I want to have a look!"

Mango typed on her phone.

Merle had no choice but to answer, "Madam, they are still searching the location as the cliff is very steep, and they haven't found them yet. They have only seen the wreckage of the car."

"How do you know that it's Nathaniel if you haven't seen him?"

There was a glimmer of hope in Mango's eyes.

However, Merle whispered, "A witness saw that it was Mr. Ye and Edolie who drove up the mountain from the road, so..."

"I don't believe it...as long as the bodies aren't found, I won't believe it!"

Mango pushed Merle away and ran out like a maniac.

In the room, Anaya saw this and started blaming herself as Nathaniel and Mango wouldn't have gone through so much trouble if it wasn't for her. Anaya went after Mango after seeing how she acted. Merle wanted to say something, but Mango no longer cared about him.

She got into the car before driving toward the place mentioned by Merle as if she was out of her mind.

Anaya cried in frustration as she didn't manage to get on Mango's car.

Merle noticed Anaya's attempt to chase after Mango's car by foot, so he said to her, "Get in the car, I'll take you there."

Anaya gave it a thought before hopping on Merle's

car.

By the time Mango arrived at the scene of the accident, the police had already put up barricade tape and no one was allowed to enter. Hence, she was deterred from entering the site.

Mango was extremely anxious yet she could not utter a word. However, it was right at this moment that she saw Marquis.

She instantly sent a message to him.

"Marquis, the victim of the accident is very likely my husband, so can I please go in to have a look at the scene?"

Marquis turned his head as soon as he saw the message and noticed Mango anxiously waiting outside the barricade tape.

He let out a soft sigh and spoke a few words to the person beside him before Mango was finally let in.

At the sight of the steep cliff, Mango became increasingly dejected deep down.

She was a car designer, and she could easily tell that the car slipped off the cliff because of its high speed.

She was sobbing when she took out her phone to ask Marquis.

"When did the accident happen?"

"Around six o'clock in the evening yesterday."

Marquis's words immediately reminded Mango of Nathaniel's last message to her.

She hastily browsed through her messages and found that Nathaniel's text came in at ten past six.

At that instant, Mango's eyes welled up with tears.

Nathaniel was in danger, but he still managed to send her the message while she was completely oblivious to it.

She even planned to settle the issues here as quickly as possible and return to Ocean City with Nathaniel to treat his hypnosis, but...

Why didn't God give her the chance to do it?

Why did he sacrifice his life for Edolie?

Hadn't Mango told him that she would deal with Edolie?

Mango looked at the cliff and fell to her knees suddenly as tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.

If Nathaniel really died, what was she going to do?

At that instant, Mango realized that if Nathaniel was no longer around, there would be no meaning for her to stay alive.

She couldn't help but reminisce every single moment that she spent with Nathaniel over the past few days.

He prostrated himself more than he ever did before just to indulge her, and he would agree to all her requests even if it was unreasonable.

He had always doted on her in his own special way.

If Nathaniel was really gone, who else on earth would treat her like a princess?

"Nathaniel, didn't you promise to spend the rest of your life with me?

Didn't you say that you would always protect me and never let anyone harm me?

What am I supposed to do now?"

Mango cried in silence as the thought ran through her mind.

She couldn't make a sound nor scream even though she was crying in devastation. The pain she felt was unbearable, and she was overwhelmed by sorrow and grief. Everyone else had the urge to tear up

seeing Mango like this.

Merle and Anaya saw this the moment they arrived.

At that moment, Merle felt extremely heartbroken.

He hurriedly stepped forward and tried to help Mango up, yet she shoved him away.

She stared straight at the bottom of the cliff and her eyes seemed cloudy yet determined.

Merle's heart tightened.

"Madam..."

However, Mango seemed as if she didn't hear him at all as she stepped forward and jumped.

At this moment, all she could think of was Nathaniel.

Now that he was gone, there was no reason for her to stay alive.

Didn't he say that if Mango died, he wouldn't live on alone?

Well, it was the same for her.

Mango closed her eyes as the wind blew against her face, but the moment she jumped, Merle wrapped his arms around her slim waist and pulled her back as he had been watching her all the while.

"Madam, you can't die!"
