The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) -
Chapter 979
Mango looked at Nathaniel and smiled as he came in. However, there seemed to be another meaning in her gaze.
"You're a patient, so why do you have to meet all the random visitors?
Nathaniel seemed to understand the meaning behind Mango's gaze, so he directly said this.
Mango smiled and asked, "You know Lebanon, right?"
Even though her words sounded like a question, they were actually an affirmation.
"Yes, I do."
Nathaniel didn't deny it, but Mango was stunned.
"When did you meet each other?"
"We met each other when he used your name to send fruits to the drama crew."
Nathaniel's words stunned Mango once again.
"What?"
"Well, stop thinking about all these useless questions. Why does this matter anyway? You should just remember to stay away from people that have ulterior motives towards you." Nathaniel patted Mango's head and served her the porridge he had made.
Mango's stomach growled at the scent of the food. However, she still smiled and said, "Hmm? Are you jealous?"
"Well, I am. You only need one person to love you this life, and that person should be me. The others should just stand aside."
Nathaniel didn't hide his jealousy at all. On the contrary, Mango didn't know how to respond.
Both of them didn't know how to continue this conversation anymore.
"Have some porridge. I've asked the doctor, and he said that you can't eat anything else now. I'll make you something later for supper." "Alright."
Mango was really hungry.
She took the bowl of porridge, and she only felt a little full after eating three bowls of it.
Nathaniel handed over the tissue dotingly.
"Wipe your mouth."
"Do it for me."
Mango opened her mouth helplessly like a child.
Nathaniel felt mixed feelings in his heart, and he was immediately aroused by this action.
His eyes darkened, but he wiped her mouth gently.
Mango was satisfied as she looked at him wiping her mouth. She then pointed to the water at the side and said, "I want some water."
Nathaniel stood up and poured a cup of warm water for her. He was afraid that she would get burned from it, so he found a cup and poured the water back on forth. He only passed it into Mango's hands when he felt that it was not hot anymore.
However, Mango didn't take it. Instead, she said in a spoiled manner, "I'm injured, just feed it to me."
Nathaniel looked at Mango and couldn't help but smile.
He dotingly placed the cup of water by Mango's mouth and watched her take a few mouthfuls before putting it down.
"Nathaniel, has Diago been caught?"
"Yes."
Nathaniel paused and nodded.
What did Lebanon say to Mango?
He reminded himself that he needed to ask Lebanon about this later.
Mango continued, "What does Melissa's death have to do with me? Also, why did Diago want to kidnap me? To be exact, shouldn't he get revenge on you instead? After all, you were the one Melissa fell in love with, so she was plotting to be Mrs. Ye too."
Nathaniel was anxious when he heard her question.
Urgh! Why did Lebanon have to make things even more complicated for him?
He looked at Mango and asked softly, "Do you really want to know?"
"Yes, I do."
Mango nodded seriously.
Nathaniel coughed and sat down beside her.
"Melissa and Diago are childhood sweethearts, and Diago had always thought that Melissa was pure when she entered the entertainment industry. However, the entertainment industry is so complicated. How could she remain pure and innocent if she wanted to get resources? However, she did not tell Diago about this. In fact, Diago believed that Melissa had been unsuccessful because she had chosen to keep her chastity. This caused Diago to fall deeper in love with her."
"Melissa is Lebanon's housekeeper's daughter. She thought that she could get some good resources from Lebanon, but he ignored her. In fact, he thinks that he has already been kind enough to allow the housekeeper to work in his house. Therefore, when I went to find Melissa for something, she wanted to get close to me to get some resources to become famous. However, she would definitely not tell Diago al these. She told him that I was into her, and I wanted to have her, but I was mad because she refused me. She said that you come to know of this matter by chance and thought that you seduced me. Later on, Melissa died. Do you understand now?"
Of course, Mango understood his words, but she felt that she had been blamed wrongfully.
"This has nothing to do with me at all, right?"
"No, but Diago, who had fallen deeply in love with Melissa, would never believe that you were innocent. After all, she's just an actress that's not famous. I wouldn't bother killing her if I couldn't win over her in the first place! Heh. She must have been jealous of you, probably."
Mango felt even more upset by Nathaniel's words.
"Hah! I'm jealous of her? What kind of joke is this? Moreover, Melissa's death has nothing to do with me, okay?"
"Yeah, but Diago thinks otherwise. What can you do?"
Nathaniel's words made Mango a little depressed.
"It's all your fault." "Yes, it's my fault because I didn't handle it well. Alas! I didn't know of Diago's existence before, and you had to suffer in his hands. But don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for you." Nathaniel's words naturally meant that he did not wish for Mango to interfere in Diago's affairs.
Mango also understood what he meant.
If what Nathaniel said was true, Diago had always believed that Melissa was a pure girl from the beginning till the end. That meant that she couldn't get anything useful out of him. Mango nodded her head at this thought.
The both of them chatted for a while more, and Mango started to feel uncomfortable because of her painful wounds. Nathaniel could not bear to see her like this, so he whispered, "Bite me if you can't stand the pain any longer."
"I'm not a dog. It's okay, I can just resist it for a little more, and it'll be over."
Mango gritted her teeth. Her back was already drenched in sweat.
Her back was sticky, and she felt very uncomfortable because of it.
Nathaniel went to the washroom to get her a pot of hot water as he saw her twist her body in pain. He took a towel and squeezed it, and he was getting ready to take off Mango's top. "What are you doing?"
Mango took a step back defensively. She glared at him as if she was looking at a pervert.
Nathaniel laughed a little.
"Naha! I'm only helping you to wipe your body."
"I'll... I'll do it myself."
"Which part of your body have I not seen? Hmm? Why are you shy?"
Nathaniel loved seeing Mango's embarrassed expression the most.
Mango bit her lower lip and glared at him, but she didn't feel awkward anymore.
After Nathaniel helped her to wipe her body, he realized that Mango had already called asleep while lying on the bed.
His heart ached as he put on Mango's clothes, but he didn't disturb her anymore.
Mango slept straight till the next morning.
She only opened her eyes when the sunlight shown through the windows.
Nathaniel was no longer around. Perhaps he went to prepare food for Mango, or perhaps he was busy with other affairs. Mango wanted to get up, but the pain was unbearable. She could only obediently lie on the bed and wait for Nathaniel to return.
On the other hand, Alfred told Lebanon the results of his investigation after the latter had left the ward.
"The person who hurt Mango is called Gisella. She's Bernard's woman, and she has been sent overseas now. I've checked that Gisella is Mango's foster parents' biological daughter. She grew up in the orphanage because the Shen family carried Mango back by accident and raised her since then. Therefore, she has always been hostile towards Mango. Later on, Mango sent her to prison because of an incident, but she ended up being bullied by the prison guard instead. She blamed all of these on Mango. Ah... I guess Gisella would probably have killed Mango if Nathaniel didn't rush there on time." Lebanon's eyes suddenly narrowed as he heard all of these.
"Which country is Gisella in?"
"Angolla."
Lebanon's eyes narrowed again.
"Hah! She's good at hiding herself instead. How could she choose Angolla out of all the other countries in this world?"
His cold smile frightened Alfred.
"Lebanon, you..."
"I have something that I haven't told you."
Lebanon suddenly looked at Alfred, and his serious look made him nervous.
"Huh? What's the matter?"
"My family background."
Lebanon lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. He said, "I am the prince of Angolla!"
"What?"
Alfred was in a state of utter shock.
Although Angolla was a small country, the country had been developing rapidly recently. It was a place that many countries wanted to have relationships with.
He had never expected Lebanon to be the prince of this country!
"Huh? Why would you still step into the entertainment industry when you have such a prominent identity?"
Lebanon couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh when he heard Alfred's question.
"Will a prince definitely be happy? Hah...The royal family is the most ruthless ever! I joined the entertainment industry because I did not want to get involved with the battle for the crown. Everyone's eying for the position of the president, and people could go against their dearest siblings, lovers and family members for this title! I do not want to live a life like this. However, I was born in a royal family, so this is a destiny that I can't escape from. Therefore, I would rather choose another way to live. I would be disqualified from competing for the crown if I step into the entertainment industry. This could look foolish to othe people, but... but I did this to save my own life!"
Other people would not understand the hardships that he had grown true.
Alfred was suddenly upset for Lebanon when he looked at him.
He wanted to hug Lebanon and give him some warmth. However, he hesitated as he now knew of Lebanon's prominent identity.
Lebanon was a prominent figure, so was this someone that he could have?
Ordinary people could not accept a gay relationship, let alone someone as prominent as Lebanon!
A hint of gloom flitted across Alfred's eyes.
He was afraid that Lebanon would see that, so he quickly said, "I think I understand why Nathaniel didn't want Mango to know about her background already."
"Tell me about it."
Lebanon glanced at him and smiled faintly.
Alfred felt that Lebanon was a demon. He could seduce anyone with his languid smile!
"As you've said, the battle for the crown is really ruthless. Mango appeared here, and not in Angolla, so she would only end up as an innocent victim. However, she could continue living happily as Nathaniel's wife if she did not know of all these. After all, she might be killed if someone exposed her identity, right?"
Lebanon nodded.
However, Alfred frowned and said, "But how can you hide the truth from everyone forever? Now that you know about her real identity, someone will find out the truth and expose her sooner or later, right?"
