The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 985

"Do you have any other clues?"

Nathaniel looked at the information in his hands and asked.

Ned whispered, "That's all we know now."

"I want to know who the person behind Cecelia is. Go and check who Cecelia has got in touch with after leaving the crew and report it to me."

"Yes, sir. I'll go now."

Ned obeyed the order and left.

Mango was still changing her bandages inside the ward. Nathaniel wanted to go in, but he found out that the door had been locked from the inside.

There were only Emberly and Mango inside. Thus, Mango was probably worried that he would feel uncomfortable when he saw her in this state, so she did this on purpose.

Nathaniel sighed slightly, but his eyes darkened.

Now that Mango was hurt, he would not forgive the preparatory, no matter who this person was!

In the ward, Emberly slightly cut off Mango's clothes, revealing the torn wound inside. She sighed and said, "Alas! What kind of luck do you have? Why do people hate you no matter where you so?" "Haha! I don't know either. I guess others are just jealous of me because I'm too beautiful."

Mango teased with a faint smile, but she suddenly exclaimed and almost jumped up.

"Bah! Go ahead and tease me. You're already injured like this, so why can't you be more careful?"

Emberly glanced at her and said calmly, but she dabbed on Mango's wounds lightly.

Mango knew that Emberly was soft-hearted even though she spoke to her harshly. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Doctor Xiao, when will the wounds on my body heal completely?"

"Huh? I can even see your bones here! Are you still thinking of getting out of the hospital within these few days? Be good and stay here. Don't think of going out of the hospital before this month ends." Emberly looked at the wound on Mango's body, and her eyes sank a bit.

"Have you ever thought of treating your burn scars?"

Emberly didn't know much about the matter between Mango and Nathaniel. She didn't like gossiping either, but she could tell that Mango had gotten the burns a few years back.

She was just a little curious as to what had happened between Nathaniel and Mango. Furthermore, Mango was such a beautiful woman, so how did she end up getting injured from head to toe? Mango was slightly stunned.

She had almost forgotten the scars on her body if Emberly had not brought this issue up.

"Huh? A burn scar? Isn't it a pretty tattoo?"

Mango smiled faintly.

"Hah! Do you think that I'm blind? You don't have to say if you don't want to. I know that you're slightly allergic to tattoos, but you can't hide your burns easily. I know an excellent dermatologist. So, I can help you contact her if you want to get rid of this. Besides, You can use this opportunity to get rid of all the wounds on your body. Urgh! You're around twenty years old, but you're injured from head to toe! I'm surprised that Nathaniel isn't tired of you yet!"

"What? He would never do that!"

Mango was full of confidence.

As the two chatted for a while more, Emberly had already finished bandaging the wound.

"Alright, I won't get in your way now. Haha! I think that Nathaniel probably wants to kick open the ward door. Anyways, I'll leave first. Call me if you need anything." "Alright."

Mango nodded her head, but her back was wet with cold sweat.

F*ck! Her wounds hurt tremendously!

She would never forgive Gisella!

Emberly saw Nathaniel fiddling with a cigarette in his hands when she came out up. She could even see his panicked gaze as he rushed to meet her.

"Why did you close the door?"

"Your wife's injury is a little serious, and I was worried that she would get an infection because of the wind. Besides, I was worried that you would come in without notifying us, so I locked it. You can rest assured that I did not bully her."

Emberly said calmly and paused for a moment before continuing continued, "The tattoo on her body is a little infected. You need to make sure she gets skin-grafting surgery to treat it soon." Nathaniel's body suddenly stopped.

"Does it hurt?"

"What?"

"Will the skin-grafting surgery hurt?"

Emberly looked at Nathaniel and said in a cold voice.

"Well, it will, but not as much as it did when the flames burnt her."

Nathaniel's face turned pale when he heard this.

"I see. Let's find a reliable doctor."

"Hmm... It seems that your wife doesn't really want to do it."

"I'll persuade her then."

Emberly left after Nathaniel said this.

She had already said all that she wanted to say. Thus, Nathaniel and Mango had to make the decision themselves.

Mango was lying motionless on the bed when Nathaniel entered the room.

He found out that Mango was asleep as he walked over quietly.

However, he could tell that she wasn't sleeping well. She was frowning, and both her hands were grabbing the bedsheets. Her fingertips were a bit white, and her face was too pale! Nathaniel gently lifted the blanket, and Mango's injured back appeared in front of him.

When he looked at her burns, he could tell that the tattoos were a little reddish.

Was Mango allergic to some substances in her current medication?

Nathaniel didn't know the truth, but he immediately started recalling the past when he saw the burns underneath the tattoos.

Was it a blessing or a curse for Mango to fall in love with him?

Nathaniel actually knew that Mango would probably live a better life than now if he let go of her.

He thought of this not long ago when Mango wanted to divorce him.

The Ye family was too complicated, and his identity was too secretive. There were too many schemes surrounding him, and Mango could never live a peaceful and safe life because of all these.

Perhaps she would fall in love with an ordinary man if he let go of her. That man would not be as outstanding as him, but he could give her a stable and peaceful life. After all, this was probably what Mango wanted the most too.

However, Nathaniel's chest would hurt so much that he would feel suffocated at the thought of letting Mango go.

He didn't want to do that!

Even if he had to drag Mango into his complicated life, he was reluctant to let her go.

After all, she was his lifeline!

He did not know what he would live for if Mango was not around anymore.

Nathaniel covered Mango with a blanket. Although he did it very gently, Mango still woke up from this.

"Did I hurt you?"

Nathaniel felt a little remorseful.

Mango shook her head and felt a little thirsty.

"I want some water."

"I'll go get it."

Nathaniel stood up and poured a cup of warm water for Mango. He helped her get up and got her to lean against him. Then, he put the cup to Mango's lips.

Mango took a sip and stopped drinking.

Nathaniel put the cup down and wanted to help Mango lay down, but she stopped him instead.

"I want to sit up for a while."

"Can your body withstand it?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

Mango slowly moved her butt. However, she broke out into a cold sweat due to the pain even though she had only moved slightly.

Nathaniel saw it and felt distressed.

"Mango... I'm sorry."

Mango waved her hand. She looked at the man in front of her and smiled as she said, "Don't say sorry to me. Haha! You say sorry every time something happens, but you've been saying it too much recently! Besides, none of this is your fault as you can't always protect me. Our enemies will find a way to injure me somehow too. I'm not worried about being targeted by them. Since we've been targeted, they can still break through our defence no matter how prepared we are."

Nathaniel felt very uncomfortable when he heard this.

"I miss the children..."

These words came from the bottom of her heart.

She really missed the children, but the worst part was that she couldn't meet them because of her injury.

Nathaniel whispered, "I'll arrange for them to come and see you."

"No! They'll be worried again if they see me like this, especially Zion. His identity is different now, and there are many rules there. He would run here recklessly if he knows that I'm injured. I...I don't want to ruin his future like this!"

There was joy in her eyes when she talked about the children. It was a gentle and bright gaze.

Nathaniel couldn't explain the peace that he felt when he saw her expression.

However, as he thought deeper, he knew that his life was not peaceful at all! After all, someone had to carry these heavy burdens.

Mango was always the one who had to carry these burdens in their marriage.

At this thought, Nathaniel became even more upset.

"You should eat more plain food these days. I'll serve you more food once your wounds are better."

Mango wanted to laugh as she heard this.

Was she a foodie?

She was not Rita, who loved meat.

"Alright."

However, Mango did not say anything much. She glanced at Nathaniel and smiled, "How's Mr. Shen doing over there?"

"We're still investigating him, but I think we'll have the results by tomorrow."

Nathaniel casually took an orange and started to peel it when he saw that Mango had no intentions of lying down.

Mango knew that it was hard to find proof of Mr. Shen plagiarizing other artworks. However, she did not panic. After all, she knew that revenge was a dish best served cold.

"Any news from Gisella?"

"Well, she's been kidnapped, so she's currently missing. My men are contacting the kidnappers, so we'll get her soon. After that, you can decide what you want to do with her. If you want to torture or kill her, I'm down to do it."

A trace of cruelty flashed in Nathaniel's eyes.

However, Mango shook her head and said, "Nah, we shouldn't get ourselves in a court case because of a b*tch like her. However, I won't let her go so easily. I will make sure she pays for the three whiplashes!"

"Do you have a plan already?"

Nathaniel couldn't help but ask when he saw the glint in Mango's eyes.

Mango was as cunning as a fox now, but he liked her even more like this.

However, she shook her head and said, "I haven't decided yet, but I'll lock her up first. We need to let her experience the fear of being abandoned and kidnapped, right?"

"Alright."

Nathaniel had no objection to her words.

He had already peeled an orange when they were talking.

Mango looked at the orange in her hands and frowned slightly.

"I didn't say I wanted one."

"You should eat some, though. It's rich in Vitamin C, which is good for your body."

Now that Nathaniel had said this, Mango couldn't refuse him, so she took the orange and ate it.

Mhm, the orange was quite sweet, and the texture was not bad too.

Mango finished the entire orange for the first time.

"Nathaniel."

"Yes?"

"It hurts."

Mango pouted like a wronged child.

Nathaniel's heart tightened all of a sudden.

"What can I do to make you feel better?"

"Let me bite you."

Mango came up with an unreasonable request.

She thought that Nathaniel would refuse her, but he rolled up his sleeves and pushed his arm towards her.

"Go on."

Mango really gave Nathaniel a bite. However, Nathaniel remained unfazed, and he continued to wear a blank expression on his face as if nothing had happened.
