The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 458

The moment Rainie heard Mango mention Nathaniel, she was filled with anger.

"What Nathaniel? Where did you see him? Mango, I'm not trying to piss you off but Nathaniel is really an a*shole. God knows how many times Thomas has called him, but no dice. Now that you're like this, he didn't even have the courtesy to show up. Furthermore, Thomas texted him, but they all went unanswered. Honestly, I'm wondering if he changed his number or something."

Mango was shocked for a moment when she heard what Rainie said, and pain started to bloom in her chest.

"Wasn't Nathan the one who saved me?"

"Of course not!"

Glancing over at Mango, Rainie sighed and she said, "Walter was the one who saved you. You have no idea how much he scared us when he sprinted madly to the hospital covered in your blood with you in tow. Furthermore, he stayed here with you for the whole night and he's just left a moment ago. Yesterday while you were in the ICU, Susie actually dressed up as a nurse to kill you, but Walter took that knife for you and it nearly put his shoulder out of commission. Really, you're going to have to thank him properly later on." Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

As Rainie spoke, she dabbed at Mango's face with a towel.

On the other hand, Mango was astonished as she never expected Walter to save her.

Now that she thought about it, she must have missed Nathaniel so much that she assumed that he would be the one to save her.

But why couldn't anyone get in touch with Nathaniel?

Thus, Mango felt a little uneasy.

"Did you hear any news from Nathan?"

"None. If I did, perhaps I wouldn't be so angry. How could he just disappear when you needed him most? Ridiculous."

The more Rainie discussed it, the angrier she became for Mango's sake.

However, Mango struggled to get up from the bed.

"What are you doing? Mango, you nearly died! Dr. Bay said if you didn't take care of yourself this time, you're going to lose your uterus, okay? If it weren't for Walter, I wouldn't dare imagine the consequences. You've just gotten out of a fourteenth-hour surgery, so what are you doing?"

Rainie immediately stopped Mango.

Mango had no idea that she was in such dire straits, but she muttered, "I want to call Nathan."

"The call won't get through!"

"I'll still call him anyway. He's not a cruel man, nor will he abandon me and the children in our time of need. How long has he been gone? Other than the phone call you had with him, did anyone else manage to contact him? I'm afraid that something's happened to him!"

This was what Mango was worried about.

Mango thought of the nightmare she had while she was unconscious.

Although she did not know what it meant, Mango couldn't help but feel uneasy.

However, Rainie got angry when she saw that Mango was still worried about Nathaniel, "Can you not think of him for one second? What could happen to him? Think about it, Mango, he used to be a soldier and no one can fight better than him. If something happened to him, would he have called me? In my opinion, he's hiding something from you. God knows what sort of fun he's having out there." "No, Nathan is not that kind of person!"

Mango still struggled to defend him, so

Rainie had no choice but to relent in the end.

"Okay, fine, you're right. Nathaniel isn't that ruthless, okay? You want to use your phone, right? I'll only let you have it after Dr. Bay gives you a full checkup."

"Rainie!"

"This is not up for discussion!"

Rainie immediately rejected Mango's request.

Since Rainie was so stubborn, Mango let it go for now, but the uneasiness in her heart only grew.

Meanwhile, Genevieve rushed over to her ward and she heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing that Mango was awake.

"Oh god, you're finally awake! You nearly scared me half to death."

Genevieve's concern was clear on her face.

Then, Mango smiled and she said, "I'm fine now, see?"

"Fine? Do you know that you would have died if you came here half an hour later? I told you that your body is especially frail and you should stay home and rest. Why did you leave the house?"

Genevieve didn't really mean to blame Mango, but she was just a little fearful for her.

Of course, Mango knew that Genevieve was worried about her, so she smiled before replying, "There won't be next time."

"Next time? Let me tell you that my word is the law in this hospital. Without my permission, you're not allowed to go anywhere."

Right now, Genevieve was being especially domineering, which warmed Mango's heart.

At first, she'd thought that Genevieve might have been hiding something, but perhaps Mango was wrong about her.

"All right."

Genevieve heaved a sigh of relief when she saw how cooperative Mango was being, so she quickly carried out a full- body examination.

Fortunately, Mango had stopped bleeding. Although her uterus was still in danger, the situation was a lot better than it was before.

Genevieve replied in a low voice, "Don't get out of bed for the next few days and let the nurse handle everything. Make sure to take care of your hygiene, and please notify me if anything strange happens especially if your blood flow increases or your stomach hurts, okay?" "Got it." Right now, Mango was acting like an obedient puppy who would do anything she asked.

Seeing her like this, Genevieve didn't have the heart to yell at her any longer.

"Okay, rest well. Please do tell me if you need anything because I'll be in the hospital caring for you for the time being."

"Thank you, Genevieve."

Mango's heartfelt gratitude made Genevieve felt a little sheepish.

"Go and rest."

She couldn't meet Mango's trusting gaze, so she quickly left the ward.

When Mango saw her leave, she quickly told Rainie, "Genevieve said that I'm fine, so give me my phone."

Rainie flew into a rage when she saw that Mango was still hung up over Nathaniel, "Walter saved your life, but you don't even thank him. Instead, you seek out Nathaniel the moment you wake up. You're truly heartless, Mango! Despite what Nathaniel did to you, you're still missing him that much? Don't you think that's kind of b*tchy?"

Even though she said this, Rainie still threw Mango's phone to her.

Then, Mango smiled and she replied, "Yeah, I'm a b*tch. I'm Nathaniel's b*tch."

"You..."

Rainie was so angry that she was speechless.

"I'm done with this conversation. Since no one can get through to his phone, go ahead and call while I go get something to eat. At least I won't burst a blood vessel out of anger that way. Also, Mr. Hans is outside, so holler if you need anything."

In truth, Rainie didn't want to see Mango's disappointed expression.

How much did a woman have to be in love for her to keep caring about a heartless man?

Rainie left the ward angrily, but she still stayed close by.

Of course, Mango knew that Rainie was angry for her good, but no one else knew the extent of her feelings for Nathaniel. She still believed in them.

The fact of the matter was that Nathaniel had concealed something big from her, but Mango didn't believe that he'd suddenly lost feelings for her.

Then, she picked up the phone to call Nathaniel.

The cold and robotic message tone greeted her again.

It was clear that Mango was disappointed and maybe even a little bit uneasy.

Without any news of Nathaniel or knowledge of how long she'd been unconscious, Mango started to become anxious.

Was all this just pure coincidence?

Or did Nathaniel's departure have something to do with these things?

Mango didn't understand any of it.

Then, she looked at her cell phone to send a message to Nathaniel.

"Hey, I miss you. What are you doing? I've been really worried cause there hasn't been any word from you!"

After she sent the message, Mango held onto the phone and she gazed blankly outside.

Mango didn't need anyone else to tell her how weak she was, she could feel it herself. Honestly, she couldn't help but blame herself for throwing a wrench in her plans.

After five days of hard work, Nathaniel had finally made a small achievement.

He was released from the iron cage, and Nathaniel was fit to rest for a while.

The toxins in his body were reducing, and receiving multiple blood transfusions from the doctor caused him to feel much better.

Furthermore, Noah said that he would recover

completely in another three days.

By then, Nathaniel could finally return to Ocean City and he could go back to his family.

After Nathaniel left the cage, he washed his face and cleaned himself up before changing into something more casual. Only then did he realize that he hadn't touched his phone in over five days.

"Evan, where's my phone?"

Evan was the man who had accompanied Nathaniel for the past five days.

When he heard Nathaniel's words, Evan quickly handed the phone over to Nathaniel.

Then, Nathaniel excitedly turned it on, but he was confused due to the lack of messages and missed calls.

"Has no one texted or called me over the past five days?"

"Mr. Ye, the phone has always been off."

Evan implied that no one had actually called or texted Nathaniel over the last few days.

Then, Nathaniel frowned in confusion.

That wasn't right!

Even if no one searched for him after five days of no contact, surely Mango would look for him.

As he thought of this, an incoming message caused his phone to vibrate.

Nathaniel quickly glanced at his phone while Evan instantly became nervous.

When he realized that it was a text from Mango, Nathaniel quickly tapped into it.

His yearning for Mango was as if a floodgate had opened, and he couldn't hold it back.

He walked outside into the sunlight without replying to Mango's message. Instead, he sent her a request for a video call.

Mango's phone suddenly rang when she was zoned out, which startled her terribly.

When she looked at it again, it was a video call from Nathaniel.

Thus, Mango couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in her heart.

At that point, she realized that she was wearing a hospital gown.

No!

She couldn't let Nathaniel know how sick she was. If not, he'd be so worried!

As Mango thought of this, she quickly commanded the nurse next to her, "Quick, give me a set of clean clothes."

The nurse paused for a moment before she pulled out a set of clothes Terrance had

bought for her earlier in the day.

Then, Mango quickly changed into the clothing and she felt that being in the ward was too much of a dead giveaway. After that, Mango endeavored to get off the bed but her legs gave way and she crashed onto the floor.
