The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) -
Chapter 828
Thomas was badly injured in the car crash. He struggled to take out his phone and tried to send a message to Nathaniel, but he had no strength left to talk. After calling Nathaniel, he couldn't hold on anymore and passed out.
Nathaniel had just finished preparing his meal. Then, he noticed a missed call from Thomas just as he was about to wake Mango up.
Thomas had informed Nathaniel about his plans today. However, why didn't he hear the phone ring?
Nathaniel called back, but no one answered.
At this moment, he felt a little uneasy.
Nathaniel called him back a few more times, but there was still no answer. Then, his brows were tightly furrowed.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Mango had woken up and walked down the stairs. She couldn't help but asked in concern when she saw Nathaniel's expression.
Nathaniel quickly stepped forward as if he was afraid that she would fall down.
"Slow down. When did you get up? Why didn't you call me?"
"It's fine. Look at how nervous you are, and you're acting as if you're my servant. Oh yes, who were you calling just now? What happened?"
Nathaniel shook his head when he heard this.
"It's nothing. Thomas called me, but I didn't hear it. I just called back and he didn't answer the phone. Maybe he's busy."
Mango paused for a moment and said, "Thomas would normally pick up your call. Did something happen?"
"I'll go out and have a look. Will you be fine being alone at home? Otherwise, I can ask Haniya to come back. She can tour around Ocean City any time. I can't rest assured if you stay at home alone." Nathaniel was about to make a phone call as he spoke.
However, Mango smiled and said, "It's alright. I'll go with you."
"And also, I forgot to tell you this. Thomas told me that Rainie will return to Ocean City soon. You'd better stay at home and wait for her."
Upon hearing this news, Mango immediately brightened up.
"Rainie is coming back? That's great. I haven't contacted her since she went to the border with her brother. I don't know what's going on. It's great
that she's back now."
Nathaniel remained silent and comforted her when he saw the excitement on her face, "So, you'll have to wait at home. I'll go and find Thomas myself. I'll ask Desmond and Haniya to come back, otherwise I'd be worried about you."
"Okay, do as you say. I'll listen to you."
Upon noticing the worried expression on his face, she didn't want to make things difficult for him. Thus, she could only nod her head in agreement.
"I'll take you out once you get better."
"It's fine. I don't have to go out. Hurry up and go. I will take care of myself."
Mango felt that Nathaniel was treating her like a fragile doll. However, she felt loved.
"I've already made you a meal. You can eat it first and you don't have to wait for me."
"Alright."
After settling Mango down, Nathaniel quickly drove out.
Soon, Nathaniel received the news about Thomas' accident and he rushed to the hospital as soon as possible.
Thomas was still being treated in the emergency room as some passerby had called the police and ambulance. However, no one knew if Thomas could be rescued in time.
Nathaniel felt anxious and sad.
Thomas was like his own brother. When Nathaniel saw that something had happened to Thomas, he immediately suspected that it must have something to do with Delilah and Mitchell. Or it could be said that Thomas had been tracked by someone else from the very beginning.
Who on earth did it?
Who was the one who wanted to kill Thomas?
Nathaniel was puzzled.
Just then, Thomas' phone rang.
Nathaniel noticed that it was Thomas' bodyguard who called and he quickly picked it up.
"Nathaniel here. What can I do for you?"
When the bodyguard heard Nathaniel's voice, he quickly said, "Mr. Ye, Mitchell has been taken away by someone. It seems that we have been fooled."
"Got it. Come back now."
Nathaniel had already guessed it, so he wasn't surprised. He knew that he had clearly lost this round.
Now, he only hoped for Thomas' safety.
At the same time, Mango had finished her food while Haniya and Desmond had returned as well.
Desmond remained his usual cold demeanour while Haniya looked extremely happy.
"Madam, Ocean City is so beautiful. It's my first time seeing the sea. I like it here."
When Mango saw that Haniya was so excited, she smiled and said, "Since you like it here, you're welcome to stay here as long as you like and your room will always be here." "Thank you, Madam."
Haniya quickly poured a cup of hot water for Mango.
"Is Mr. Ye at work?"
"He had something to do. Desmond, help me find out what time Rainie's flight is. I have to go to the airport to pick her up."
Mango couldn't sit still and she wanted to go out.
She knew that she should rest at home, but she had not seen Rainie for such a long time. She really missed her very much. Besides, she had gone to the border for so long, so it had been a long time since they contacted each other. This time, she was determined to check on how Rainie was doing these days.
When Desmond heard Mango's words, he paused for a moment before asking, "Is your condition alright?"
"No problem. I came back to rest for a while and I feel very good now. Besides, I'm taking Haniya with me. If anything goes wrong, Haniya will help me. Don't worry."
"Where is Mr. Ye?"
Desmond was still a little worried.
Mango couldn't help but smile when she saw him like this. "Nathan went to look for Thomas. It's probably about work. Don't worry, I can handle it myself. I promise, I'll let you guys know if I'm not feeling well, alright?"
Desmond didn't know what to say when he heard what Mango had said.
He checked Rainie's flight and said to Mango, "There are still fifty minutes left before she lands."
"That's about time. Let's drive there."
Since Mango had already said so, Desmond didn't have any objections either. Haniya went to the room to get a coat for Mango and the three of them soon left for the airport.
Mango leaned against the back seat while Haniya covered her with a blanket. Desmond adjusted the temperature in the car while they were on their way.
"Madam, why don't you rest for a while?"
Mango nodded her head.
She closed her eyes to rest. As the car was driving steadily, it suddenly came to a stop and all of them lurched forward.
"What's going on?"
Mango opened her eyes. Desmond had already stopped the car.
Haniya held Mango's hand tightly and said in a low voice, "Madam, we seem to have been surrounded by people."
Mango looked at the scene in front of her and frowned slightly.
There were four cars blocking them from all directions. Also, it seemed that these people have been planning it for a long time and they chose a place where it was less crowded.
In other words, someone was deliberately waiting for her here. Maybe they knew that Rainie would come back today, so Mango would definitely pick her up. That was why they set up an ambush here. Mango was no longer worried after she thought about this.
"Desmond, open the window. Let's see what they are going to do."
Desmond's brows furrowed with concern.
"Madam, we didn't bring any bodyguards with us today. What if they..."
"We'll think about that later. Let's see what's their plan. Besides, there's nothing we can do about it and there are other ways to escape. Open the window now!"
Mango's words made it impossible for Desmond to refute.
He took a deep breath and opened the window.
There was a man standing outside that looked like a bodyguard.
"Mrs. Ye, our boss wants to invite you over."
The person on the other side obviously knew who was sitting in the car.
"Who's your boss? How can he invite Madam over just like that?"
Desmond glanced at them coldly.
However, the person said with a smile, "Our boss said that Mrs. Ye will naturally know when she goes there."
"Desmond, follow their car."
Mango spoke before Desmond could say anything.
However, Desmond didn't agree with her decision.
"Madam, I think it's better not to go."
"I'm afraid it's not up to us. Go ahead, I want to know who would invite me like this." On the other hand, Mango was seemingly unsurprised by the situation.
Meanwhile, Haniya had sent a message to Nathaniel and informed him that Mango had been kidnapped.
Upon seeing Haniya's actions, Mango's lips curled into a smile.
Indeed, this girl was so clever that she knew how to handle emergencies even without having someone to teach her.
Seeing that Mango had agreed, the person responded with a smile and said, "Mrs. Ye, I'm sorry, our boss only wants to see you, so all the signals in your devices have been blocked by us. Don't worry, we will send you back safely after this."
Mango was shocked upon hearing that.
It meant that the message that Haniya had sent just now would not reach Nathaniel.
She took out her mobile phone to have a look, and sure enough, there was no signal at all.
Haniya was a little scared and nervous.
"Madam, what should we do?"
"Don't be nervous. The person wants to meet me and it has nothing to do with you. They won't hurt you. Desmond, if anything happens later, take
Haniya and leave first."
Haniya was stunned by Mango's words, and a glimmer of light appeared in her eyes.
It had been a long time since anyone cared about her like that.
Desmond said coldly, "My duty is to protect you, Madam. The others have nothing to do with me."
Mango shook her head helplessly.
Now that things had come to this point, she could only take it one step at a time.
The man saw that Mango was very cooperative, so he waved his hand. The cars that were surrounding them retreated in a hurry to give them some space.
When Desmond was about to rush over, he heard Mango whisper in a low voice, "Don't go. I want to know who the other party is. Many strange things have happened recently and I'm guessing that there are other people supporting Isla. Let's go and take a look. Maybe we can find some clues and solve this mess."
Mango said faintly. She wasn't worried about anything at all.
Desmond couldn't help but ask when he saw how calm Mango was, "Madam, did you arrange for some bodyguards?"
"No, I just want to go and have a look. Don't worry, it'll be fine. Let's follow them."
Desmond had no choice but to follow their cars from behind.
It was the first time that Haniya had seen such a situation. She was trembling in nervousness as she held Mango's hands tightly.
"Madam, nothing will happen to us."
She comforted Mango.
Mango couldn't help but laugh at her. Although Haniya was terrified, she was still trying to comfort her.
"Don't worry, you will be fine. I swear on my life."
Upon hearing Mango's words, Haniya finally felt a little more at ease.
After driving for a long time, the car finally stopped just as Mango was about to fall asleep. However, Mango couldn't help but be stunned when she saw this district.
