The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 709

"What do you want to do? I'm warning you that if you dare to harm Nathaniel, I will not spare you. With the risk for being put into jail, I will let you pay the price."

Mango was busy gesturing to warn Nanny Zhang but she was flung to the other side by Nanny Zhang.

"Don't making gestures at me. Didn't I provide you acupuncture methods? Try to speak and see."

Mango was stunned.

"Why are you standing there like a fool? Aren't you going to scold me? To threaten me? C'me on, speak with your mouth. I don't have time to read your sign language."

After that, Nanny Zhang turned a deaf ear to Mango.

What was going on there?

Mango was completely stunned without knowing how.

She could feel the itch in her throat. According to Nanny Zhang, she should be able to make some syllables now. She had to admit that she was delighted indeed but she still looked at Nanny Zhang fiercely at that time.

Nanny Zhang didn't care about Mango's view on her. She looked at Nathaniel and pressed the few acupoints on his head. Then, her expression turned slightly serious.

Mango was a bundle of nerves at the same time.

She made a gesture subconsciously. Thinking of what Nanny Zhang had said, she opened her mouth and said, "How is it going?"

Mango used all of her strength, but she came up with extremely soft voice. If one didn't listen carefully, she wouldn't be able to hear it at all. Her voice was hoarse at the same time. Mango felt as if her voice was burning in pain, as if there was sharp knife in her guts.

She was in so much pain that she covered her throat with her hand.

Without raising her head, Nanny Zhang said, "You have to stimulate your vocal cord if you want to talk again. If you are afraid of pain, you can give up now. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me whether you can talk or not in future."

Mango gritted her teeth and continued, "How is he?"

"Not in good condition. His nerves were severely damaged together with deep hypnosis. Isla was too wicked. She could do anything to her non- biological son."

Upon hearing Nanny Zhang's words, Mango endured the pain and said, "She treated Nick very well."

"That's a different case. He is a nose of wax person. As compared with Nathan, his intelligence is average by carrying a trace of inferiority in him. As long as someone treats him well, he'll treat them equally or even more. Isla takes him as her son and he is filial to her whereby he doesn't know about his background. He is easier to control compared with Nathan. Nathan is different in other way round. He is independent and smart which makes Isla feel uneasy. Since he was a kid, she has been wary of Nathan. In addition to that, Nathan is in charge of the business of the Ye family, so she didn't dare to do anything to him and she estranged herself from him. It's lucky that Nick isn't capable enough. It is most likely for Isla to subject both of them to be fratricidal if Nick was equally powerful. She could do it from the way she treated Nathan so ruthless."

Nanny Zhang said as she massaged Nathaniel's acupuncture points.

Mango could say nothing upon hearing her words.

She didn't know much about Isla. Otherwise, she wouldn't have let Isla hurt her in this way. Those affairs looked reasonable and deserved to be forgived. It seemed that Isla had planned all those incidents in advance at the moment.

Mango suddenly felt that Isla was too horrible. Luckily, she was dead. Otherwise, she would be tormented by the old lady with sleepless nights.

After giving Nathaniel a massage, Nanny Zhang sighed and said, "I can treat him but I don't have much time left."

"What do you mean?"

Mango was a little confused.

Nanny Zhang forced a smile and said, "Perhaps God can't bear to see me in doing so many bad things, so he plans to take me in advance." "Are you going to die?"

"There's no human who won't die. The one who won't die isn't a human."

Nanny Zhang glanced at Mango and said, "I had diagnosed as the last stage of cancer. I don't have much time left. Nathan's illness needs long-term acupuncture and treatment. I reckon that I have no time to wait till his recovery. From tomorrow onwards, bring along Noah with you. He's the only one from the young who can inherit my mantle. After all, he won't harm Nathan. When I'm no longer around in future, I'll feel a little more at ease with him by Nathan's side."

Upon hearing Nanny Zhang's seemed to called last words, Mango couldn't keep up for a while.

"Do you want to teach Noah instead?"

"Why should I lie to you right at this moment? Didn't you see my appearance yesterday? It's been a long time and I reckon taht I'll be seeing Nathan's father in about ten days or half a month." Nanny Zhang gave a miserable smile.

"Aren't you a doctor?"

"It's always difficult for doctors to save themselves. Besides, how can I treat this disease?"

Nanny Zhang looked at Mango and said with a smile, "Do you feel like you've vented your hatred? I'm dying soon. Don't you remember all the things that I've done to you in the past, do you?" "Do you think I can forget?"

"That's true, no one can ever forget. I won't beg for your forgiveness. I do hope that you will treat Nathan better for the rest of your life. After all, he has no more close family in this world." Nanny Zhang touched Nathaniel's face with some nostalgia and tears in her eyes.

Mango said in a low voice, "He has family. He has a son, a daughter, and me. We'll be living happily ever after." "Yeah, you will be living happily without my participation. How are Zion and Rita doing now?" Nanny Zhang had never inquired about the children. Mango suddenly became nervous when being asked this question.

"What do you want to do? No matter the news of your illness is true or not, I won't let the children come to see you. Don't ever think about it."

Mango's answer was within her expectation. Yet she felt slightly disappointed.

"I didn't say anything. You shall go out now. I'm going to treat Nathan. Let Noah to come in if you don't trust me."

Nanny Zhang drove her away directly.

"I want to stay here."

"It's useless for you to stay here. You may interfere with my treatments. You shall go now."

Nanny Zhang's attitude was a little tough.

Mango had no choice but listened to Nanny Zhang as she needed her to treat Nathaniel.

Then she informed Noah about Nanny Zhang's words once she came out.

Noah was a little surprised but Maxton looked slightly anxious.

"Can I just be an onlooker? I'm practising medicine. As you shall know, there's no way to explain the doctor's enthusiasm for medicine."

"Forget it, Maxton. Nanny Zhang is considered dangerous person. You shall not go in."

Genevieve immediately rejected his offer.

It was not because she was afraid that Nanny Zhang's medical skill would be passed on. She was truly afraid that Nanny Zhang would hold Maxton hostage instead.

"Well..."

"It's okay. I'll come out and teach you after I've learnt it."

Noah's words immediately made Maxton cheered with joy.

"That's what you said."

"Yeah, I meant what I said. I'll go in first."

After finishing his words, Noah went in.

Mango was slightly anxious and didn't want to leave either. However, Genevieve consoled her, "Let's go and take a look at Nanny Zhang's profile."

"Are you afraid that she is lying to us?"

Mango was a little stunned.

"It's always right to be more cautious by guarding her."

Upon hearing Genevieve's words, Mango quickly nodded.

Both of them went to the prison's archives by

taking out their credentials to explain the cause before they could check on Nanny Zhang's files.

She truly didn't have much time left.

Mango knew that there was not worth of sympathy towards Nanny Zhang. Just as she had said before, she had done too many wicked deeds that even god can't stand her anymore. Indeed, it was not necessary for one to sigh for this consequence. However, she was feeling heavy in heart.

"What's wrong with you? Are you sympathizing her?"

Genevieve hurriedly asked when she found that she was in a bad mood.

Mango shook her head and said, "No, I suddenly feel that life is really fragile. Whether it's good or bad, everyone will experience death. I used to think that we still have a lot of time to squander, but when I suddenly look back, I find that one-third of my life has passed. Let's not to talk about Nanny Zhang's mistakes in her life. If her medical skills can be passed on to Noah, it's also a good thing indeed." "Yeah, it's too bad that she can't perform her medical skills anymore. If it wasn't for her current situation, I would like to ask her about the treatment of Novalee."

Upon hearing Genevieve's words, Mango also nodded.

"Yeah, she doesn't even have time to treat Nathan. What about Novalee? Where had Bettany went?"

"Perhaps she had hide up herself."

Seeing Mango's uneasy expression, Genevieve asked, "You shall take some rest after talking for so long. Be calm. After all, your vocal cords are damaged and it's not easy for you to make a few sounds now. How I wish that your voice will be recovered when Nathan wakes up again. It'll be a double joy then."

"That's right."

Mango nodded her head.

When they came out of the archives, Maxton anxiously tiptoed his feet and wanted to look inside but he couldn't see anything. So he spun around anxiously.

All of a sudden, Mango felt much better.

With the hope of curing Nathaniel's illness, she felt much more relaxed.

Noah stayed inside for about an hour. When he came out, he was covered in sweat. He brought along Nathaniel with him.

Mango heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Nathaniel's ruddy face.

"How did you turn out like this? I feel like you've suffered a lot."

Genevieve's heart slightly ached. After all, it was her man.

Noah said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. It's really a physical job indeed. Yet Nanny Zhang developed an excellent medical talent. I was almost hypnotized by her."

"What?"

Genevieve and Mango's expressions instantly became tense.

Noah smiled and said, "Take it easy, it's not hypnosis for me. None of us yet to know that Nanny Zhang is a hypnosis master. She can enter a person's nervous system when he is in a coma. It bothers her though. Nanny Zhang had vomited blood. Reckoned that she won't be able to do acupuncture for Nathan in next three to five days. Fortunately, she taught me the technique of acupuncture, so I can treat Nathan."

"Sounds great."

They were very happy and returned with Nathaniel to the hotel.

Three days passed in quick and Mango's words became more and more clear. The only disadvantage was that after she finished speaking, her throat was in great pain as if she was burning in fire. Nanny Zhang requested to meet Mango.

Mango went.

She was completely stunned when she saw Nanny Zhang again.

Was the haggard and hollow-eyed old folk in front of her who tortured her with all kinds of cruel means to be call Nanny Zhang?

"What's wrong? You're surprised, aren't you?"

Nanny Zhang smiled weakly and coughed for a long time. She spat out a mouthful of blood and lay on the table.
