The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 789

"Mango!"

"Mommy!"

Nathaniel and Rita were shocked and it was fortunate that Nathaniel was quick enough to catch Mango in his arms.

Mango was stunned.

"What's wrong?"

"You're asking me what's wrong? I'm really wondering how did you end up in this condition? Something's not right and I'm going to ask Genevieve to come over to take a look at you." Nathaniel helped Mango to the sofa and was about to make a phone call.

"It's really early in the morning and Genevieve must have just gone to work, so don't call her as she would have plenty of issues to settle in the hospital. It's probably because I've slept too much." Mango wanted to stop Nathaniel.

"Do you really think that oversleeping will make you blackout? Mango, I can leave everything else for you to decide but not on this matter today."

Rita held Mango's hand worriedly and said,

"Mommy, are you feeling unwell? Daddy said that you're traumatized by my incident yesterday. I'm so sorry...are you feeling better now? I'll pour you a glass of water, okay?"

Rita was about to get some water for Mango as she spoke but Mango held her back.

"Dear, I'm fine and I was just a little short of breath just now, so don't worry as I'll be okay. Also, I haven't brought you out to have fun, isn't it?"

"Yea!"

Rita quickly nodded.

Nathaniel let out a sigh of relief when he saw that Mango had regained her energy and that her countenance looked much healthier but he was still worried.

"Don't go anywhere today and just rest at home on your bed, I'll ask Genevieve to come over at noon to take a look at you, okay?"

"Don't be so melodramatic."

Mango thought that her condition wasn't that of a big deal but Nathaniel was making a fuss out of it.

He was just overly anxious.

Nathaniel didn't care about Mango's opinion of him and he insisted, "It's not a matter of being melodramatic as I really hope that you'll be fine, so don't argue with me. Genevieve can come over at noon as she doesn't have many appointments and I can go pick her up if you're afraid that she'll be too tired."

"That's not what I meant."

Mango couldn't refute after hearing Nathaniel's words.

"Alright, I'll let Genevieve come over to check my condition but you don't have to look after me all the time. Has Rita eaten? I'll bring the food over for you all as Sisi prepared some food over there." Mango was about to stand up as she spoke but Nathaniel stopped her.

"Just lie down and rest as I'll bring the food. Rita, take care of mommy." "Okay."

Rita sat directly in front of Mango and looked at her with a smile.

"Mommy, please don't get sick, okay?"

"Okay, I won't get sick."

Mango felt moved deep down as she looked at Rita's bright and lively appearance. "Come, give me a hug."

Mango was about to carry Rita onto the sofa but Rita immediately took a step back.

"Mommy, don't carry me now that you're in poor health and I'll just sit here to accompany you while we wait for daddy to bring the food, okay?" "Alright."

Mango's heart melted as she saw how sensible Rita was.

Nathaniel beamed when he came back as he saw how Mango and Rita were so affectionate with each other.

"What are you talking about so happily?"

"I won't tell you as this is the secret between mommy and me."

Rita leaned her whole body on top of Mango.

Mango stroked her head and said with a smile, "Hurry up and eat or else it'll get cold soon."

However, Rita felt extremely unhappy when she saw that there was no meat.

"The breakfast doesn't look tasty today."

"Dear, the doctor said that you need to maintain a balanced diet with more greens in your meal, so you'll have to eat more light foods these days or else it's not good for your health. Do you want to get admitted to the hospital again?"

Rita shook her head repeatedly after hearing Mango's words.

"No, I don't."

"Start diving in then and make sure to eat the vegetables as it's all good for your health, okay?"

"Alright."

Rita answered reluctantly but she didn't argue any further.

Nathaniel was heartbroken when he saw his daughter's reaction but he whispered, "Come on, I'll eat with you."

"I will eat with you too, alright?"

Mango started eating again as she spoke.

Rita saw that her parents were diving in and she started eating too as there was no reason for her to be picky.

Then, Sisi came to clean the table and she was shocked when she saw that Mango was eating again.

"Mrs. Ye, you're eating again?"

"What's wrong?"

Nathaniel immediately asked when he saw Sisi's strange expression.

Sisi answered, "Mrs. Ye had already eaten before this and she even ate twice as much as usual. I wanted to give her some digestion medicine as I was afraid that she might have indigestion, but she said that she wasn't that full and now she started eating again."

Nathaniel's expression became solemn at that instant.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No, I'm just a little hungry."

Mango started feeling embarrassed as they stared at her.

Rita smiled and said, "Mommy, you're such a foodie compared to me."

"That's weird, let's go now as I'll take you to the hospital."

Mango felt awkward because of Nathaniel's nervousness.

"I'm not going! What are you going to tell the doctor at the hospital? Are you going to say that I'm eating too much? I feel ashamed even if you don't and I won't go!"

Mango turned her head around like a child and started throwing tantrums.

Nathaniel smiled as he saw Mango's behavior.

"What's the matter? I'm just bringing you to check if you're having indigestion."

"I won't go either as I'm an adult and of course I can tell whether I'm having indigestion! As I said, I'm just a little hungry and I want to eat something, so why are you so fussy about it? What's wrong? Are you not able to afford my meals?"

There was a hint of grievance in Mango's voice and her eyes were became red-rimmed.

Nathaniel started to panic at the sight of this.

"Fine, fine, we won't go... I wasn't implying anything either, why are you crying?"

"You are just so annoying! What's wrong with me having some food?"

All of a sudden Mango felt extremely aggrieved and upset. She was just enjoying some food yet Nathaniel insisted on bringing her to the hospital.

On the other hand, Sisi felt guilty when she saw Mango's reaction.

"Mrs. Ye, I'm so sorry and it's all my fault, please don't cry."

However, Mango started crying heavily the moment Sisi mentioned it.

"Mango, our child is around..."

Nathaniel felt that Mango was more like a child than Rita at this moment, while Rita was in a daze seeing that her mother cried.

"Daddy, what's wrong with mommy?"

"It's okay, dear, go out and have fun by yourself for a moment, alright?"

Nathaniel felt that he should keep Mango's reputation now that she cried, so he told Sisi to take care of Rita before he hugged Mango.

"Alright, alright, what's wrong? Why are you crying when I didn't say anything?"

"I didn't want to cry either but I have no idea why I feel wronged and I have a strong urge to cry. I just can't stop my tears."

Mango felt extremely depressed and she became increasingly upset.

Nathaniel held her even tighter after seeing her reaction.

He knew that Mango wasn't an unreasonable person and her sudden mood swing made him feel very worried but he didn't dare to ask any further. "Alright, alright, I'll stop talking and we won't go to the hospital, okay? I'll take you upstairs to have a rest, alright?"

"I just woke up though."

Mango's voice was hoarse as she spoke and she yawned uncontrollably.

Nathaniel felt really perturbed when he saw her response.

"Okay, okay, we'll just lie down for a while and not sleep, is that fine?"

"Okay."

Mango leaned into Nathaniel's embrace tiredly and let him carry her upstairs before he placed her

on the bed.

However, Mango went silent and motionless as soon as she lay on the bed and turned around.

Nathaniel gently called her name as he was afraid that she might be suppressing her chest.

"Mango, lie down properly."

However, Mango didn't react at all.

Nathaniel turned around to have a look only to find that Mango was already deeply asleep.

Didn't she just got up?

Why did she fall asleep again?

Nathaniel couldn't wait any longer and he covered Mango with the quilt before quickly going downstairs to make a phone call to Genevieve.

"Genevieve, please quickly come to my house and have a look as there's something wrong with Mango."

"What's the matter?"

"I can't explain it to you verbally, so just come and have a look."

Nathaniel was incredibly anxious.

Genevieve looked at her schedule before saying in a low voice, "Alright, I'll be right there."

Then, she hung up the phone.

Nathaniel didn't dare to leave Mango alone in the bedroom, so he quickly went upstairs after hanging up the phone and he saw that Mango turned her body before going to sleep again.

He placed his fingers underneath Mango's nose as he was really perturbed. His heart calmed down slightly only when he found that she was breathing steadily.

Still, how could she fall asleep so easily?

Was she really that tired?

Nathaniel was deep in thought as he waited anxiously.

Later, Genevieve arrived and she saw Nathaniel sitting on the floor while looking nervously at Mango although she was sleeping soundly.

"Mr. Ye, what are you doing?"

Genevieve saw that Mango didn't seem sick but Nathaniel's nervousness and perturbation were evident on his face. Genevieve knew that he would never pull such a lame prank on her. Nathaniel hurriedly stood up when he saw that Genevieve was here but his legs were a little numb and he could only stand up with the help of Genevieve.

"What happened? Mango seems fine."

"What do you mean by fine?"

Nathaniel told Genevieve about Mango's emotional reaction and her abnormal food intake.

Having heard this, Genevieve frowned and said, "From what you've said, I think that she's pregnant."

Nathaniel was stunned at that instant.

"What do you mean that you think that she's pregnant? Genevieve, please be more sensible and answer me whether it's a yes or no as what do you mean that you 'think'?"

Genevieve whispered after hearing Nathaniel's question, "As you know, Mango's uterus is in a poor condition because of Nanny Zhang and she has a really low chance of getting pregnant again in her entire life. However, she seems to be at an early stage of pregnancy considering her responses and according to what you've said just now. Nevertheless, I'll need to do a blood test on her as I can't tell for sure." "Then let's do the blood test now! What are you waiting for?"

Nathaniel was very anxious.

He remembered that there was something wrong with Mango's uterus and the doctor had concluded that she would never be able to get pregnant again, so Nathaniel was really heartbroken because of this. However, would that mean that Mango was ill at this moment if she wasn't pregnant? What was her sickness?

Nathaniel was really anxious and he couldn't wait to know the result.
