The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 390

Mango just waved her hand and said, "I'm fine, don't worry. I won't let anything happen to me before I find out who did this. I need to know their motives."

Walter couldn't say anything else when he saw Melanie's determination so he said in distress, "Take it easy, and tell me if you need help. I don't mind being troubled."

"I know."

Clearly, Mango wasn't planning on holding back this time.

After Walter left, dark thoughts filled her head.

Even so, Nathaniel still popped up in her mind.

He and Andrea...

No matter how she looked at it, it was extremely insulting.

Originally Mango hadn't planned to look at it since tabloids were all full of rubbish anyway. Honestly, Walter could be right and all of it was just a misunderstanding that was carefully planned but she couldn't help herself from reading the whole report.

Nathaniel had casually told the reporters that he was a womaniser.

Then, a sharp pain rose in her chest. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

It didn't sound like what Nathaniel would say.

But if he didn't, would the reporters have written it down?

Was he indirectly admitting that he slept with Andrea?

The ache in Mango's head only intensified.

Now, her reputation was in tatters. What right did she have to judge Nathaniel for what he had done?

In fact, Nathaniel was very kind to her, wasn't he?

Not only did he preserve her dignity, he even put himself through the trouble for her. What was there for her to be dissatisfied with? Nathaniel was just sleeping around anyway.

With that thought in mind. Mango clutched at her chest painfully as she laid on the bed.

When Walter returned, Mango was partially unconscious. Then, he woke her up and fed her some medicine before she dozed off.

In her dreams, Nathaniel left with another woman and no matter how hard she called out to him, he did not respond.

Mango ran after him until her shoes gave out, but she never managed to catch up to him.

She cried and shouted as she insisted that she'd been framed. She begged Nathaniel not to go, but he only had eyes for the woman next to him.

When the woman turned around, Mango was surprised to find Andrea looking back at her.

Then, Andrea said with a chilling smile, "Mango, I've said once before that I will take everything you hold dear. I'll start with Nathaniel, then I'll move on to the Hans Family and Madam Ye as well as your children. I will have them call me mommy, and I will use them as my punching bag when I get angry. What will you do then?"

"No! Don't!"

Then, Mango suddenly sat up. Her back was drenched all over with sweat.

"Are you awake? Thank God, you nearly scared me to death!"

Walter gazed at Mango worriedly.

After that, Mango looked around and realised where she was.

It was all a dream!

Thank goodness!

Mango's entire body was trembling and damp with sweat.

Afterward, Walter quickly handed her some warm water and said, "Have some water. You had a really high fever so you'll still be weak despite sweating so much. Thankfully, the fever's gone down. But you still need to be careful."

"Thanks."

Mango couldn't help but recall how Nathaniel cared for her as she took the water.

During her confinement period, Nathaniel had cared for her meticulously. Was that all fake?

Was their relationship just a farce?

No!

No, it couldn't be!

She wasn't a statue, so obviously she could feel how much Nathaniel loved her. But why did he rather take medicine to make himself impotent rather than sleep with her after he saw the photos?

Did he really believe them?

Did he believe that Mango was so shameless that she would allow any man to touch her?

If so, why was he so nice to her? If he believed it, why didn't he ask her instead of letting himself be hurt?

Mango felt as if she didn't understand

Nathaniel at all.

The only thing she knew was how much she missed Nathaniel. She would be grateful if she could even hear his voice now.

Her eyes filled up with tears at the thought.

Perhaps people were especially fragile when they were sick.

No matter how strong she was, she would always think about who cared for her when she was ill.

Nathaniel was undoubtedly the person who cared most for her.

But she couldn't see him now.

For his and the Ye Family's sake, she needed to cut ties with them.

Then, Walter couldn't help but sigh when he saw Mango holding back her tears. "If you really want to know how he's doing, why not call him? It wouldn't hurt."

"No, you don't know what he's capable of. He can locate me just from a phone call, and he will do everything in his power to take me home once he knows where I am. Don't you think it'll be pointless for me to hide by then?"

After that, Mango took a sip of water and suppressed all her yearning.

Madam Ye had been very kind to her, and she couldn't involve the children. She had no choice but to cut ties with the Ye Family.

On the other hand, Walter couldn't help but be jealous when he saw how much Mango cared forthem.

"Nathaniel must have saved the universe in his past life to be able to marry such an amazing woman like you."

Truth be told, Mango was amused by his words.

"That's a good joke."

"I'm telling the truth."

"Well, flattery will get me nowhere. I need to get better soon and make a public appearance, if not, I'm afraid they might do something to the Ye Family. Since they can't find me, they have set their sights on slandering Nathaniel and get Andrea into the family. Unfortunately for them, Nathaniel isn't that submissive."

Thus, Walter was stunned upon hearing Mango's statement.

"What do you mean? Have you finally accepted that Nathaniel's been tricked?"

"Well, my mind was muddled because of the fever earlier. Now that it's subsided, I'm much more lucid. You were right, Nathaniel is smart and he wouldn't sleep around openly and get caught in the process. He isn't so careless, unless he'd been tricked. I think that the other party is trying to use this to lure me out. Now that Andrea's involved, she has to be in contact with that mystery person. So, we'll definitely find clues if we follow Andrea."

Once she got rid of the pain and heartache, Mango was able to see things more clearly.

Meanwhile, Walter was rather impressed upon hearing her rational analysis.

"Do you want me to have someone tail Andrea?"

"Yes, let's see what she's going to do next and who she contacts. Perhaps we may find some clues."

Now that Mango's mind was clear, she felt like she'd been thoroughly confused earlier.

Of course she knew what Nathaniel was like. They had been together for many years.

In the five years she was away, Nathaniel hadn't looked for another woman, so why would he start now?

Furthermore, even if he hated the fact that someone had nude photos of her, his usual love and affection for her was real.

No matter how good someone could be at acting, there was no way they could fake the emotion in their eyes. Thus, the way Nathaniel looked at her was genuine.

Mango felt a little better when she thought about it.

Whether or not it was just to comfort herself, she just had to think of it this way for now.

Meanwhile, Walter was relieved when he saw that Mango had calmed down.

"Okay, I'll go get it done. I'll go reheat the food before you eat."

"Thank you!"

After that, Mango took the food from Walter. Despite not having much appetite, she still forced herself to eat.

No matter what, she had to conserve her energy.

She couldn't let that mastermind behind this win.

Walter left after he saw that Mango was willing to eat.

Soon after, he returned with news for Mango.

"I'm not sure whether to tell you this, but I don't want you to be out of the loop, so..."

Mango was rather surprised at how Walter was tripping over his words.

"What on earth is going on? It's really weird to see a big strong man like you talk like this." Truth be told, Mango felt that there was nothing that she could not accept.

At this rate, she was going to become invincible.

Nevertheless, Walter was still a little hesitant.

"Hurry up and tell me. You're killing me with the suspense here."

This was all very unusual for Mango.

Then, Walter took a deep breath and said, "I did as you asked and followed Andrea, and it turns out that she's been admitted to the hospital by Madam Hans."

"Hospital? Did Nathaniel do something to her?"

That was the first thought that came to Mango's mind.

According to what she knew of Nathaniel's temper, he was mostly cold and indifferent, but God help anyone who ever crossed him.

If Andrea had really tricked Nathaniel into this kerfuffle, then he might actually beat her up.

That was why Mango asked the question.

Then, Walter shook his head but he was hesitant to tell Mango.

"What's going on? Hurry up and tell me! The suspense is killing me!"

Mango felt that Walter was acting really strangely today. What was wrong with him?

After that, he looked at Mango and muttered, "Would you like to have some water? I'm afraid you won't be able to bear what I'm about to say."

"Is there anything I can't bear now? I've already been through the worst. I'd be fine even if you told me that Nathaniel didn't want me anymore!"

Although Mango had said so, Walter was still a little worried.

"Walter, are you going to tell me or not?"

Ultimately, Mango's anger was ignited.

Hence, Walter was forced to speak. "Andrea's admission to the hospital was kept under wraps, and I had to have somebody keep a lookout for me to get this information. She's suffered vaginal tears from being raped, and that's why she's in the hospital. Plus, she seemed to be heavily injured. Madam Hans kept cursing about Nathaniel being a beast and many people heard it."

Mango's expression changed instantly.

"What? Are you mistaken? Did someone intentionally spread this to slander Nathaniel?"
