The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 747

"Alright, go to the bed and lie down."

Nathaniel couldn't hold back his jealousy at last. He directly grabbed Walter by his arm and pulled him to the bed. However, Walter was still very agitated.

So, Nathaniel signaled the doctor to give Walter an injection to calm him down and let him sleep for a while.

Later, the doctor and nurse wiped their sweats, and they really admired Nathaniel at that moment.

"Mr. Ye, thank you so much."

"I'm sorry for the mess. His lover is on the plane. I hope that you can understand."

Nathaniel said faintly.

"Yes, we understand his feelings..."

The doctor and nurse left after they finished talking.

Mango looked at Walter and said with a sigh, "Why are the deities so cruel to him?"

"Perhaps they are not meant to be together and it's their fate, but Walter will probably be really sad and down for some time."

Nathaniel looked at Walter as his brows were tightly furrowed even though he was in a deep sleep.

Nathaniel knew the feeling of losing a lover. It felt like the end of the world and that he lost everything with nothing left behind with him.

Back then, if Madam Ye hadn't stopped him from dying so irresponsibly, Nathaniel might have thrown himself into the fire to die with Mango the moment he heard that she was burned to death.

Then, Nathaniel sighed and whispered, "I'll book a hotel as I guess we'll have to stay here for a while. Walter won't leave this place until he finds Novalee."

"Thank you for your hard work, honey."

Mango looked at Nathaniel somewhat guiltily.

Nathaniel touched her head and said, "Don't exhaust yourself as I won't be able to bear it."

"Alright."

Mango knew that Nathaniel's heart ached for her, so she didn't dare to get too toiled.

Later, Nathaniel went to book a hotel while Mango sent someone to investigate the matter regarding the plane accident. It wasn't long before she received the news of the location of the plane and that it had landed.

It was already evening by the time Walter woke up.

He didn't mind the fact that Nathaniel told the staff to give him the stabilizer and the first thing he asked after he woke up was, "Did you find the location where the accident happened?"

"Yes, but you have to make sure that your body can take it and that you have the physical strength to go there. I don't want you to faint as I'll have to bring you back otherwise. You're aware of Mango's condition, so Walter, I know that you are sad, but no matter what the situation is, you have to calm yourself down. We will go if you can do it."

"Don't talk nonsense. Just tell me where is it?"

Walter did not give a clear answer to Nathaniel's question.

Nathaniel knew his feelings, so he got in the car with Walter and Mango and brought along some anti-inflammatory drugs. Then, they drove to the place where the accident occurred.

A lot of people were surrounding the place of the accident.

There were traces of plane fragments as the plane had crashed into the hills after it fell.

Walter was on the verge of a breakdown seeing such a horrifying scene.

He rushed in like crazy and began to look for

Novalee.

"Walter, don't..."

Mango tried to stop him, but Nathaniel stopped her.

"Let him look for her. He has to bear the pain alone regardless of whether he can find her or not. All we can do is to stay with him." Mango suddenly felt a little heavy-hearted.

"Do you think that Novalee wouldn't have left Walter if I hadn't been so rude toward her? Otherwise, why would she leave by plane?"

Nathaniel's heart ached when he heard what Mango said and he couldn't help but hug her tightly.

"It has nothing to do with you and it's probably Novalee's karma in her present life. Don't put all the burden on yourself, or else you'll feel really tired, alright?"

"I just feel sorry for Walter..."

"He's an adult and I'm sure he'll be able to take it, even though it might be difficult to get over with it."

Nathaniel looked at Walter's crazy expression and he realized that he acted exactly like Walter five years ago.

He had almost gone into the fire with Mango that

time.

Mango looked at Nathaniel as she had also thought of something.

"Were you also like that five years ago when you found out that I was in the fire?"

She looked at Nathaniel. Although Thomas had told her about it, she still hoped to hear it from Nathaniel in person.

Nathaniel's brows slightly furrowed, but his gaze softened.

"My mind went completely blank at that moment and I just knew that my wife and children were inside. I couldn't let them suffer in the raging fire, so I wanted to go inside. However, there were so many people trying to stop me back then. Why didn't they let me in? It was my wife inside, why did they stop me? I shouted crazily, but no one listened to me. It was Thomas who knocked me out and brought me home back then. Then, everything was over after I woke up. I went to that place to search for you for a very long time, but I couldn't find you at all. I felt as if I have lost everything and it was the end of the world at that time. I was so depressed and blank to the point that I wanted to cry, but I couldn't no matter how hard I tried."

Mango's heart ached after she heard how

Nathaniel felt back then.

She hugged Nathaniel tightly and whispered, "Aren't you afraid that I will take revenge against you if I didn't know the truth after returning to the country?"

"I don't mind it. As long as you are alive, I am willing to experience all of the sufferings in this world."

Nathaniel and Mango looked at one another and smiled as their feelings for each other welled up in their hearts.

On the other hand, Walter had been searching for Novalee for a long time. He was very exhausted and the sun had also gone down, but he still could not find her.

There were countless broken limbs and bone fragments here, so it was impossible to tell who was who.

Walter kept comforting himself that there might still be a glimmer of hope, but his hope diminished bit by bit as time passed.

Nathaniel's and Mango's hearts ached as they looked at Walter behaving like that.

"Drink some water and have a rest. It's probably good news if we can't find her."

Mango's words made Walter smile bitterly.

"I wouldn't have let her leave herself in the first place if I knew that this would happen."

"Where is Novalee going?"

Mango wanted to ask about it earlier, but she felt that it wasn't the right timing considering the current situation.

Then, Walter took a sip of water and said, "Her brother called and said that he's sick, so Novalee was going to see her brother and I wanted to go with her. However, she said that she hasn't told her brother about me, so she asked me to meet him next time. She was in a hurry and I didn't have the time to do anything, so I just sent her to the airport. I didn't expect..."

Walter became even sadder as he spoke.

Then, Nathaniel's brows furrowed slightly.

"Her brother is sick? Why did we not know about it?"

"Huh? You guys know her brother?"

"Yes, her younger brother is Henry Zhang. We just met him a while ago and he's not sick. I was even next to him when he called Novalee. He didn't tell her that he was sick through the phone." Mango wanted to tell Walter that Novalee had told Henry that she did not have a boyfriend. However, she was afraid Walter couldn't take it if she told him this now.

When Walter heard what Mango and Nathaniel said, he quickly said, "Can you contact her brother now? Ask him if Novalee has arrived at that place. Perhaps she has not boarded the plane." Walter was no longer clear-headed at this point.

However, Mango and Nathaniel didn't want to extinguish his hope.

"I'll call Henry."

Nathaniel took out his phone and called Henry.

Soon, Henry picked up the call.

"Mr. Ye, what can I do for you?"

"Has your elder sister arrived?"

Nathaniel asked straightforwardly.

Then, Henry was stunned for a moment, but he quickly said, "Mr. Ye, how do you know that my sister is coming? She just got off the plane. I am going to pick her up."

Walter suddenly sat up after he heard Henry's words.

"When did your sister contact you?"

"You are..."

"Don't worry about who I am. I just want to know when Novalee contacted you."

Walter was very agitated.

Then, Henry said in a hurry, "Ten minutes ago.

What happened?"

Ten minutes ago?

Walter paused for a moment, and he suddenly burst into laughter.

"Novalee is fine, she is fine!"

Mango and Nathaniel weren't as happy when they looked at Walter laughing wildly.

Nathaniel said to Henry, "Send me your address, and I'll call you later."

"Okay, Mr. Ye."

Henry sent his location to Nathaniel before he hung up the phone.

At that moment, Walter finally calmed down after his round of laughter.

The three of them fell into pin- drop silence suddenly after Walter stopped laughing and the atmosphere became rather awkward. They felt really pressured at that moment.

Then, Mango patted Walter's shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay, at least you know now that she's still alive and this is the best news, isn't it?"

"Yes, she is still alive and this is indeed good news, but why did she lie to me? I saw with my own eyes that she bought the ticket for that flight, yet she boarded the next one instead. Why is she so wary of me? Am I so unpresentable?"

For the first time, Walter lost his confidence and faith in himself.

"Don't be like this, Walter, you are an outstanding man, but Novalee might have some secrets that she couldn't tell. We can ask her about it when we meet again."

At that moment, Mango's words stunned Walter.

Seeing Walter like this, Nathaniel couldn't help but say, "Stop daydreaming and get in the car! We'll go to Henry's house now and see what is Novalee trying to do. Regardless of your feelings for her, you should at least know whether she is worth your effort and time. Walter, you'd better get yourself together as Mango and I will stay your side through thick and thin."

Nathaniel dragged Walter up directly.

Then, Walter looked at Nathaniel and smiled bitterly.

"Do you think that I'm stupid? It is not my style to hold on to a woman who has fooled me so many times."

"Everyone has experienced bittersweet love. It might be that both of you are not meant for each other, or perhaps you'll have to overcome some challenges to be together. Don't care about what others say if you think that it's worth it as that's who you are, Walter."

At that moment, Nathaniel's words made Walter's eyes lit up little by little.

Nathaniel was right!

Walter had to investigate it thoroughly why did Novalee this.

Did she find it fun to fool him like that?

Bosco said that someone was behind her. Was it the person backing her up who planned all these?

Suddenly, a hint of ferocity flashed across Walter's eyes.

He must find out what the hell was going on no matter who it was!
