The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 998

However, Mango did not voice out her question out loud. Meanwhile, Newell quickly got someone to pour a cup of warm water for Mango.

"Sit down quickly. It must be difficult for you to stand a long time now that your stomach is this protruded."

Mango remembered she and Sisi had become pregnant almost at the same time. Thus, when she saw Sisi's pregnant tummy, she couldn't help feeling a bit sad when she thought of the baby that she had lost. However, she kept her feelings to herself so that Sisi couldn't tell that she was upset.

Meanwhile, Sisi's face was filled with happiness.

"Well, it's alright. Every woman has to go through this once in a lifetime. I've checked with the doctor, and there's only one baby in my tummy. Hmm... I'm a little disappointed somehow, though."

The Ye family had always given birth to twins, Hence, Sisi thought that she would have twins too as she was Koiton's daughter. Every time she saw Zion and Rita, she wanted a pair of opposite-sex twin babies too. Besides, if she gave birth to twins, she would not have to get pregnant again in the future.

However, she never thought that she didn't inherit any of the Ye family's genes. Thus, she only had one baby.

Mango smiled and said in response, "It's fine as long as the child is healthy."

"That's true."

Sisi suddenly laughed.

Newell pulled Sisi and whispered, "Why don't we let Mango rest since she just returned? We can talk more later."

After all, they were now in a critical situation. Mango came back for Nathaniel. Thus, Newell had to remind Sisi to keep her priorities straight because she was more ignorant.

Sisi reacted and quickly said, "Ah, Mango, I'm so sorry. I forgot about everything else because I was too happy to see you! Why don't you go up and take the rest? I'm not sure when the reporters will leave, and I'm worried that something else will happen soon. Now that Nathaniel has been locked up, we need to rely on you to help us too..."

"It's okay. Don't worry. I'll go up and have a rest first. We'll talk later, alright?"

Mango's body was really painful from her injuries. She had managed to put up with it till now, but she

could no longer hold on anymore.

"Alright."

Sisi quickly made a way for Mango.

Mango smiled in return and went up to her bedroom.

However, she heard Sisi's voice when she was about to take off her clothes.

"Mango, Rainie and Dr. Xiao have arrived."

"Let them in."

Mango felt that Emberly and Rainie were really reliable. They had arrived right on time when she was still thinking about how to take off her clothes herself.

Meanwhile, she was taking her coat off when Rainie brought Emberly in.

She was wearing a black jacket, so nobody saw anything from outside. But when she took the jacket off, everyone could tell that the blood had always soaked through her clothes. It had even turned to scab, and it would be hard to scrape it off!

"Oh My God! Mango, are you even human? Are you immune to pain? How could you go to the police station to look for Nathaniel in your current state?"

Rainie's expression suddenly changed when she saw Mango's wound.

Of course, Mango was in tremendous pain, but she just said playfully, "How did you know that I went to the police station?"

"Noah told me that."

Mango was stunned after hearing Emberly's words.

"Huh? Did both of you go to his place?"

"No. Noah was about to board a plane when we arrived, so we met him on the way here. Anyway, we just talked a bit."

Emberly said faintly, but Mango felt somewhat uncomfortable after hearing this.

"Where is Noah going by plane?"

"In B City."

Emberly looked at Mango as she replied with a faint smile.

After hearing her words, Mango's heart thumped rapidly.

"Did something happen to Nathan?"

Mango could only think of this reason.

Noah wouldn't leave Ocean City so easily now because Genevieve was pregnant. Mango raked her brain to think of the reason he had left Ocean City and hurried to B City. In the end, she concluded that his departure had something to do with Nathaniel.

Rainie glared at Emberly and quickly said, "Hey... you don't have to worry so much. What could happen to Nathaniel right now? Noah only went there to participate in a medical conference. It's just a coincidence."

"Is that true?"

Mango did not look at Rainie when she asked that.

After all, she knew Rainie's personality well. Rainie would want her to ignore everything else that was happening so that she could focus on recovering. Hence, she looked at Emberly and asked the question. Emberly shrugged slightly in reply and did not deny it.

However, Mango understood everything right now.

Something must have happened to Nathaniel!

He was still fine when she left. Why did something happen to him so suddenly?

What was wrong with him?

What sickness did he have?

Did someone hurt him?

Countless thoughts were running in Mango's brain.

Emberly said faintly, "Why? Do you want to go back?"

Her question stunned Mango.

Was Mango going back to B City?

Of course not!

She had finally made her way back to Ocean City according to their enemies' wishes. Now that Nathaniel was not with her, they would definitely take this opportunity to attack her. So, how could they let her leave just like that?

Mango was now a target as all their enemies would now be keeping their eyes on her. In fact, Nathaniel's would be in more danger if she went back now.

When she thought of this, she said faintly, "There's no need for that. I believe that he'll be fine. Alright, why don't you treat my wound now? I have to go out once you're done."

"What? Are you insane? How can you go out when you're in this state? Hah... Mango, do you know that you're a target now? Are you going to offer yourself up to your enemies because you know that they can't do anything to you when you're in the Ye's mansion?"

Rainie felt that Mango was crazy!

How could she be so fearless for Nathaniel's sake?

Putting aside Nathaniel's murder case, for now, it was too dangerous for her to come back alone in the first place! After all, no one could guarantee her safety even though she was currently protected by the Hans family and the Xiao family!

When Rainie thought about this, she was really worried.

Mango smiled and said, "Hmm... don't you want to visit Thomas now that you're back?"

Rainie rolled her eyes and said, "Hey! I came here to visit you first because I was worried about you, okay? Now that you're doing well, I'm going off to see Thomas then! After all, you'll only continue to annoy me if I stay here! Urgh!"

She rolled her eyes at Mango after saying that.

"Dr. Xiao, please help me keep an eye on her. Don't let her get into trouble."

Rainie reminded Emberly anxiously.

"Alright."

Emberly promised Rainie casually, but she knew that she couldn't stop Mango.

After Rainie had left, the room became quieter.

"Well... Rainie is just too oncerned about me."

"I'm glad that you have a friend like her."

Emberly was an aloof person. Hence, she did not have many friends, so she was a bit envious of their friendship.

"Can you treat my wounds for me?" "Alright, lie down then."

Emberly grabbed her first aid kit after ordering Mango to lie down.

Mango immediately followed her orders. However, she began to clench her teeth in pain when Emberly started cutting her clothes open.

Emberly had a hard time treating Mango's wounds as they had turned into scabs. Hence, she was exhausted once she was done with her treatment.

Meanwhile, Mango was already lying on the bed.

Both of them were not talkative people, so the bedroom was silent.

After lying on the bed for a while, Mango slowly recovered her energy. The first thing she said when she regained her stamina was, "So, what happened to Nathaniel?"

"He passed out due to nerve pain. Alas! This is the sequelae of the incident that happened previously. Hence, the police had no choice but to call Noah in as no other doctors were capable enough to treat him. Emberly knew what Mango wanted to ask. So, she told her the truth immediately because she didn't want her to let her imagination run wild.

Mango was slightly stunned after hearing this.

"What? His nerve pain hasn't relapsed for a long time, though."

"Well, that's hard to say. Perhaps he was strong enough to suppress it, so no one could tell that he was suffering from it. Also, maybe his pain lessened after he took his medications, so he hasn't shown any symptoms so far. But you also know that this sequela can't be fixed in a short period of time. Besides, I heard from Noah that the worst case is that this sickness would continue forever. Hmm... so it's quite unpredictable."

Mango's heart sank when she heard this.

"Is there any way to cure it?"

"Well, I don't think so, but perhaps Noah has some ideas. Now, the only advice that I can give is to rest more and stop thinking too much. He should leave his life in peace without worrying about dealing with his enemies. Besides, both of you are rich enough. You should go on a holiday with him so that he can relax. Once he faces less pressure, he could recover faster with the help of the medications." Mango kept Emberly's suggestion in mind.

She would definitely bring Nathaniel out for a vacation after they had settled this problem.

"Well... are you really not going back?"

Emberly couldn't help but ask because Mango wasn't crying and begging to go back to B City.

Mango slowly got up and put her clothes on. Then, she said in a low voice, "Noah's there right now, so he should be fine. If I feel bad for him, I should settle the problems here as soon as possible and go on a vacation with him like what you suggested. However, I shouldn't go back now because I can't help him at all."

Emberly looked at Mango with an admiring gaze after the latter had finished her words.

"Where are you planning to go now then?"

"My grandpa's house."

Mango answered faintly. But when she saw Emberly getting up, she couldn't help but ask, "Huh? Where are you going?"

"My house, of course! Why? Do you want me to stay here? Urgh! I'm not used to this place at all!"

Mango was slightly stunned upon Emberly's words.

"Wait... you have a house in Ocean City?"

"My husband is one of the four most influential people in Ocean City. He will definitely have a house here even if he's not here now. What are you thinking about?"

After answering Mango, Emberly smiled faintly and said goodbye to her.

Mango also felt that she was a fool! Why didn't she think of this before she asked that question?

After tidying herself up, Mango got some collections from the basement and planned to give it to Brantley.

Brantley did not have a lot of hobbies. The only things he enjoyed doing were drinking teas and collecting antiques.

When Mango thought of this, she picked up a tea leaf and narrowed her eyes.

Nathaniel had gotten his men to send replenish the tea leaves in this room consistently. Mango thought that there were only different types of red tea and green tea in this room, but she never expected to see a different type of tea here!

The roots of this tea leaf were big and thick. It would definitely not be a tea leaf that Nathaniel would choose.

But why did such tea leaf appear here?

Mango frowned slightly. Then, she grabbed some of it and put into the plastic bag and brought it out.

When she came out of the room, she saw Laney, who had returned from outside.

Laney was stunned for a while when she saw

Mango. She then quickly went up and said sadly, "My poor child, you must have suffered too much! I heard that you had a miscarriage? Why were you so careless? But you already have two children, so don't

be too sad too, alright?"

"I will, Aunt Laney."

Mango nodded while answering, but she could smell a familiar scent from Laney's body.
