The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 711

Mango saw the glint in Zion's eyes and knew that that brat must be suspecting something.

"Zion, can mommy have a word with you in private?"

Mango began hurriedly.

It would be better for her to explain to Zion rather than letting him make a wild guess, lest the kid suffering from a leg affliction kept worrying about them.

"Okay."

Zion brought his phone with him and went outside with the help of the nurse.

"Mommy, did something happen to Mr. Ye?"

Zion went straight to ask his mother as soon as he came back.

Mango nodded and said, "Something unexpected has happened to your father. He's still in a coma, but we've found a solution here. You don't have to worry, well be able to come back soon."

"Is it serious?"

Zion's brows were furrowed together tightly.

"It's alright. Neither bad nor good. Zion, don't tell

Wisdom and your sister about this. I'm afraid that they won't be able to take it..."

"Yeah, I understand. Did mommy video call to ask me to take good care of them today?"

Zion's words made Mango's heart ache slightly.

How fortunate she was to have such a son.

"Nope, Mommy has something to discuss with you today."

"Okay please tell me, Mom."

Mango told Zion regarding Nanny Zhang's demands, but she didn't tell him that Nanny Zhang was threatening her with Nathaniel's health.

As far as the kid was concerned, Mango still didn't want to give him too many dark memories. Even though they were true, Mango didn't want Zion to remember them if they could fade away. Zion pondered for a moment before asking, "Can Nanny Zhang cure Mr. Ye thoroughly?"

"Yes."

"I'll go then!"

Zion's words caused Mango to be at a loss as to what to say.

"Zion, it unnecessary for you to come over. I'll video call you later, and it'd be better for you to meet her through that. As for Rita, I don't want Nanny Zhang to see her. You gotta know that Rita is very simple- minded. I'm afraid..."

"I know, Mommy. I want to go there myself. I'm worried about Mr. Ye. I can agree with you to not inform Wisdom and Rita, but I have to see Mr. Ye."

There was a hint of pleading in Ye Zion's voice.

Mango refused directly.

"No way! That's too dangerous. You know that she's a dangerous person. How will I explain to your father if something happened to you?" "Well mommy, I'll go there secretly even if you don't agree."

"Zion, you're getting bolder, aren't you?"

Mango's heart was suddenly in her throat.

"So, Mommy, you should let me go there. At least you wouldn't be so worried, right?"

Zion spoke coquettishly.

Mango looked at him speechlessly and said, "You're trying to kill me, aren't you?"

"Who said that? I pray every day that mommy looks pretty as always and stay young forever."

Mango chuckled immediately.

"Forever young? Won't I be a demon then?"

"That won't happen. You're only a demoness at most."

Zion burst out laughing.

Mango's mood was much better, yet she was very worried.

"Zion, let's have a discussion. A video call will do, okay?"

"Mommy, I'm discussing it with you too. Let me see Mr. Ye, okay?"

Both of them had the same conviction. Neither of them wanted to back down, causing Mango to have a headache.

"Mommy's throat hurts."

"My leg hurts as well. Oh, I really can't be mad. What did the doctor say? He said that it's not good for my health if I get mad, and it's worse for me to recover."

Zion made up such a ridiculous story, which caused Mango to laugh again.

She knew that she really could do nothing to Zion.

"Well, I'll promise you that, but you have to be obedient. Don't mess around, okay?"

"Got it."

When Zion heard that Mango had agreed to his request, he became happy immediately.

Mango was afraid that Zion might encounter problems, so she asked Noah to send someone to pick Zion up.

After everything was done, Mango suddenly felt that this was not the solution.

She never had someone reliable she could use.

Neither the people from the Ye Family nor the Dark Night Empire was loyal to her, and she found it too cumbersome. Especially after the incident with Merle, she had already passed on them. It'd be better to use her own people.

Mango thought of Novalee and Walter.

Wouldn't it be much easier for her if Novalee was her right-hand man?

However, Novalee was far away in Nakasara, so it was not possible for her to come during an emergency.

Mango was in a dilemma. Knowing that she wouldn't be able to solve this problem in such a short duration, she put it aside for the time being.

It was already late at night when Zion arrived. Meanwhile, Mango was having some rest.

Noah intended to tell Mango, but Zion stopped him.

"Uncle Soo, let my Mommy get some sleep. I'll be spending the night with you."

Zion lied comfortably on Noah's bed.

Noah looked at Zion who occupied his own bed and said somewhat gloomily, "Where will my wife and I sleep if you sleep here?"

"Perhaps both of you can book another room?"

"Then why don't you book one?"

Noah crossed his arms in front of his chest.

Zion smiled and said, "I'm just a kid, I can't book a room."

"It doesn't matter. You may stay in the room after I've booked it."

"I'm nervous! Aunt Bay, I am scared. I'm still a kid."

Zion hugged Genevieve and said coquettishly.

Genevieve quickly laughed and said, "Sure sure, Aunt Bay will keep you company tonight."

"You're the best."

Noah's expression darkened.

"You're going to sleep with him? He's a guy!"

"He's still a kid!"

Genevieve was frustrated at Noah's jealousy.

"He's still a man, right? This fellow may be your son-in-law in the future. Does it sound good when a mother and her son-in-law are sleeping together? No way!"

As Noah spoke, he was about to carry Zion away.

Zion hurriedly clung onto Genevieve's body like a koala bear and said shamelessly, "I'm going to tell Gissel that you're gonna sell her."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Didn't you just say I'm your son-in-law? Arranged marriage is a thing of the past!"'"'

Zion's loud words were enough to infuriate Noah.

"You brat, if I don't hit you today, then I'm going to go insane..."

Noah rolled up his sleeves in anger.

Why was this child totally different from that old pedantic, Nathaniel?

However, Zion didn't let go of Genevieve.

"Aunt Bay, I'm a patient while you're a doctor. You won't watch me being bullied by bad people, will you?"

Genevieve felt quite exasperated.

These two would quarrel wherever they met, and she didn't know what happened to Noah either.

"Well, Noah. Just settle down for one night. Besides, Mango is not in the pink of health too. Why do you want to affect her rest at such a late hour? Let's talk about it tomorrow morning." When Noah saw Genevieve protecting Zion, he couldn't help but feel depressed.

"Where am I going to sleep?"

"The sofa!"

Zion pointed at the sofa and said. When Noah gazed at him, he hurriedly hid behind Genevieve.

Genevieve gently caressed his head and said, "Go to sleep now. It's already late. You still have to wake up early tomorrow. Your mommy's throat needs acupuncture as well."

"Who cured Mommy's throat?"

Zion had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but he never had a chance.

Genevieve said in a low voice, "Nanny Zhang did."

"Oh I see."

Zion didn't say anything else. Very cooperatively, he took off his clothes and fell asleep.

It was a sleepless night.

When Mango woke up the next morning, she saw Zion propping up his chin and looking at her in front of her bed.

"Good morning, mommy."

"Good morning."

Mango couldn't tell whether it was reality or just a dream.

She rubbed her eyes hard to make sure that it was true.

"When did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me to pick you up?" "Not necessary. Uncle Soo directly sent me here. It was already late night when I came back, so I spent a night in Uncle Soo's room."

Zion said with a smile, then he looked at Nathaniel on the other side.

"Hi, Mr. Ye, I'm here."

However, Nathaniel didn't have any reaction.

Mango was feeling uneasy.

"Your daddy will hear you."

"Of course he can hear me. We're always connected."

Zion was still smiling with joy.

He was much stronger than Mango had imagined.

Mango pulled him into her embrace and said with a heart-wrenching expression, "I'm sorry, Zion. I've let you suffer too much."

"It's okay. I'm a man. Mommy, don't be sad. Mr. Ye will be fine. I can tell fortunes, and I foresee that Mr. Ye will live a long life."

Zion's words of comfort suddenly filled Mango's heart with a sensation of warmth.

"Thank you, Zion!"

Mango hugged him as tightly as she could.

Zion knew that Mango was upset, so he smiled and said, "Mommy, let's go take a look at Granny Zhang."

"Granny Zhang?"

Mango did not manage to react in time.

"Yeah. Didn't she want to see me?"

Zion's words were immediately understood by Mango.

However, she didn't agree with the way Zion called Nanny Zhang 'granny'. However, the child had his own thoughts. Although she didn't like it, she respected Zion and was reluctant

him forcefully.

"As I said, you just need to video call her on the phone. You're not allowed to go. Don't you know what that place is? How can a child like you go there?"

"Mommy, have Uncle Soo follow me. It will be fine, don't worry. I really want to see her. I mean it."

Zion held his palms together and looked very earnest as he begged for her approval.

Mango still wanted to say something, but Zion hurriedly cut in, "If she does something to me, I'll give her a tranquilizer immediately."

As he spoke, Zion took out a syringe from his pocket. There was medicine in the syringe.

Mango was immediately stunned.

"Where did you get this?" "I got it from Uncle Soo, so I have to be well-prepared."

Zion spoke righteously, but Mango felt that her heart almost skipped her beat.

"Zion Ye, never do such a dangerous thing again in the future."

"I won't do it again. Well then, I'll take my leave. Mommy, see you later."

After Zion finished speaking, he jumped out of Mango's embrace and ran outside.

"Zion."

Mango was slightly worried and quickly got up. However, she realized that her pajamas were tied to the bed rail, and furthermore was a very tight knot.

Zion Ye!

Mango quickly untied her pyjamas. When she ran out of the room, Zion was nowhere to be seen.

She suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Wasn't Zion's leg injured? Was he recovered now? Otherwise, how could he run so fast?

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded behind Mango.
