The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 824

"Who is it?"

Mango was alerted and she looked around subconsciously. Unfortunately, she didn't see anyone show up.

She quickly opened the slip of paper in her hand and the words on it made her frown.

"If you want your mother to be safe, you'd better ask Nathaniel to keep his hands away from the Fang family."

Mango's heart was pounding.

It had been a long time since she heard from Queena, which made her concerned. Last time, she even asked Merle to search for Queena's whereabouts. However, he was immediately caught by Isla before he could do anything.

She was terrified and worried now that this threatening note had silently appeared in her hand.

Although she was not with the Ye Family, it was Marissa's funeral today. There were only Desmond and Nathaniel's men around. Surprisingly, no one took notice of the person who had stuffed the note into her hand. This alone made her tremble with fear.

Perhaps it was someone from the Dark Night Empire that Nathaniel had trained himself?

Mango was shocked by her own speculation.

"Madam, are you alright?"

Haniya lost her balance and fell onto the ground. Although her limbs were injured, she quickly came to Mango and checked on her condition.

Mango held the note tightly and said with a straight face, "I'm fine. You should visit the doctor later."

"It's just a fall. I'll bandage it myself. By the way, who was the person that approached us just now? Why didn't I see them?"

At the thought of this mysterious encounter, Haniya immediately felt a chill down her spine.

She couldn't help but look at Marissa's cemetery and whispered, "Could it be..."

"Don't be superstitious! Even if there are really ghosts, Marissa will not harm me. Let's go back first."

Mango looked around her and did not find anyone suspicious. Then, she returned to the ward feeling rather uneasy.

At the same time, Nathaniel and Desmond were dealing with some matters. After Marissa's burial, Desmond settled Marissa's parents down and he planned to bring them to Ocean City with Nathaniel. When Nathaniel returned to the ward, he saw Mango looking out of the window in a daze. Then, he gave her a sudden hug from behind.

"What is it? What are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing. I just feel that life is really fragile. Marissa was only in her early twenties, but she's gone too soon."

Mango was feeling sad and emotional.

"Life is always unpredictable, so we must cherish our lives. We will never know what might happen in the next minute. The only thing we can do is to enjoy our life to the fullest and leave no regrets. We have each other and we will stay together forever until the end of our lives."

Upon hearing this, Mango rolled her eyes at him.

"What are you talking about? Nathan, I have something to tell you."

After Mango thought about it over and over again, she finally decided to tell him.

"What's the matter?"

"Look at this."

She handed the note to Nathaniel.

Nathaniel's face turned pale when he saw the note.

"Who gave it to you?"

"I don't know. When I went back to the car at Marissa's funeral, I was hit by someone and then this note appeared in my hand. However, Haniya and I didn't see anyone. After that, I checked the surveillance cameras nearby but the video was blurry. It seemed to be a woman with short stature, but I couldn't see her face clearly. Take a look."

Mango sent the video to him.

As he looked at the video, his gaze suddenly turned a little cold.

"It seems that the people of the Fang family are not willing to give up. I'll go to meet Isla after I go back to Ocean City tomorrow."

"Let me go. Since she found someone to hand me this note, she must be waiting to meet me. She may not be able to get what she wants from you, but it might be possible from me."

Mango voiced out her thoughts to Nathaniel.

Nathaniel looked at her with some concern.

"I'm a little worried about you because of your current health."

"There's nothing to worry about. Isla is locked up in detention and there are police guarding her. I'm not a person who can be easily manipulated by her. I just want to know what she intends to do." "What else will there be? I bet she's just trying to carry out her crimes."

Nathaniel extremely despised Isla Fang.

This woman had harmed so many innocent lives.

Then, Mango said in a low voice, "My mother hasn't been around for a long time, so I'm quite worried about her. Back then, no one realized when she left Ocean City. I'm even more worried now that there's no news of her at all and this note has something to do with the Fang family. I know that you're concerned about me and you're afraid that I'll be bullied by Isla, but I still have to do something for my mother. Furthermore, my aunt doesn't have much time left. I hope that my mother will be able to meet her once."

"You're always considerate about others, but why don't you at least think for yourself? Don't you know that I'll be heartbroken seeing you going through all these by yourself?"

Nathaniel let out a sigh, but he did not try to stop Mango. He was willing to do anything to make her happy that he even compromised with her decision.

Of course, Mango knew that he was worried sick about her. However, she smiled and said, "You really don't have to worry about me. I'll bring Haniya along. You also know what Haniya is capable of. If anything happens to me, Haniya will be there to help me. Don't worry."

"Okay, but no matter what you do, you must ensure your own safety, okay?"

"Got it."

Both of them came to an agreement.

Meanwhile, Haniya went to the doctor to treat her wounds. When she saw Desmond helping Mrs. Fang, she couldn't help but stopp in her tracks.

Mrs. Fang glanced at Haniya and did not say anything. She was crying and her eyes were swollen. Then, she sat aside while Desmond poured a glass of water for her.

Desmond was very respectful to her, which made Haniya feel a little sorry for him.

How could such a cold man be so mannerly towards a woman?

Just how deep was his love for Marissa?

Desmond noticed Haniya's presence. However, he had no intention of talking to her at all and he didn't even look at her.

When the doctor saw Haniya, he whispered, "Haniya, this is your medicine. Remember, eat it three times a day when you go back. Don't forget. You know that you're always a forgetful person." "Alright, Dr. Bettany. I'm aware of it."

Haniya smiled and took the medicine.

"What do you know? You are really wayward. You always needed someone to supervise you while you take your medicine. I've seen people afraid to take medicine, but I've never seen someone like you. I'll tel Mrs. Ye to make sure that you take your medicine on time. Otherwise, your injuries might worsen and the consequences will be very serious."

"Dr. Bettany, there's no need to do that. You don't need to bother Mrs. Ye on such a trivial matter."

Haniya was a little embarrassed and she wanted to turn around to leave, but she was stopped by the doctor.

"No, give me the medicine and I'll give it to Mrs. Ye. I was stupid enough to give the medicine to you."

Then, the doctor went to grab Haniya's medicine.

Haniya quickly ran away from Bettany after that.

Just as the two of them were at a stalemate, Desmond's voice resounded from afar.

"Give me the medicine. I'll remind her to take it. Please don't bother Mrs. Ye."

After saying that, Desmond took the medicine directly from Haniya's hand.

Haniya and Dr. Zhang were stunned, and Mrs.

Fang was even more surprised.

"Desmond, what are you doing? My daughter died not long ago, and you found your next lover?"

Mrs. Fang's voice was sharp and harsh.

Desmond quickly said, "No, she is Madam's personal caregiver. Mrs. Ye is in a special condition now and she needs someone to take care of her. Haniya will not be able to take care of Madam if she falls ill. Of course, I have to be considerate of Madam. In fact, I don't want Madam to worry about this trivial matter. Mom, don't think too much."

Since Mrs. Fang approved of the relationship between Desmond and Marissa, he naturally viewed her as his mother.

Although Haniya was a little happy just now, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and uncomfortable when she heard how Desmond referred to Mrs. Fang as his mother.

Mrs. Fang was a little unhappy. However, since Desmond's words were reasonable, she could not help but say, "Suit yourself, my daughter had just passed away. If you go on to find a new woman now, I..." "Mom, I will only have Marissa in my heart forever. There will never be any other woman."

Upon hearing this, Haniya felt heartbroken.

Mrs. Fang looked at Haniya and said coldly, "Great. I hope those women that have a crush on you can give up quickly. You promised Marissa that you would take care of me and my husband." "Yes, mom. Let me help you in."

Desmond put the medicine into his pocket and held Mrs. Fang's hand without looking back. He didn't even glance at Haniya.

Dr. Bettany was a little confused and asked, "Haniya, what's going on?"

"I have no idea. They're crazy!"

Haniya was so depressed that she directly went back to the ward. She didn't believe that Desmond would remind her to take the medicine and she bet he would throw it away by now. That man was very narrow-minded.

Well, she didn't like to eat medicine anyway, which saved her from lots of trouble.

When Haniya returned, Mango was packing up her things. Upon seeing this, Haniya quickly ran over.

"Madam, let me do it. How can you do it by yourself?"

"It's nothing. Don't run, your leg is injured. When we get back to Ocean City, you can have a rest for a while. Don't overexert yourself."

Haniya was touched by Mango's caring words.

"It's okay, Madam. I'm strong as hell. These wounds are nothing. By the way, do we need to pack up these things? Are we going to Ocean City?"

"Yes, we are."

Mango smiled faintly and Haniya didn't dare to ask any further.

After packing up the things, Desmond sent someone to inform them that the private plane was ready. Then, Haniya pushed Mango to the rooftop.

It was Haniya's first time taking a private plane, so she couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Mango's mood livened up a little when she saw Haniya like this.

The two of them came to the elevator and they were about to head up to the rooftop. Suddenly, someone stopped the elevator and Mango's expression changed immediately.
