The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 514

Zion suddenly become nervous.

"Uncle Soo, I was wrong! It's my fault and I won't dare to do it again. Please help my Daddy! He might really be in danger!"

Zion immediately broke down in tears.

Gissel rarely saw Zion cry. She had witnessed Zion crying a few times when he first arrived at the shooting club, but she turned a blind eye. After seeing Zion sobbed this time, Gissel quickly pulled out a napkin to wipe away the tears on his face.

Zion didn't have time to care about it. Then, he quickly got up to beg Noah.

Upon seeing Zion like this, Genevieve couldn't help but glare at Noah before saying, "Alright, stop making him worry. Why do you have to tell him about this? Mr. Ye is a capable guy and he will be alright."

"I have to let him learn his lesson. How dare he ran away from home and put his family in danger! Has he ever thought of the outcomes of his actions? His dad is missing and his mom is in poor health. Zion, you're a child and can be capricious at times, but have you learned the consequences of your wilfulness act now?"

Zion felt guilty after being reprimanded by Noah.

He really didn't expect that such a thing would happen.

If it wasn't for his reckless behavior, maybe he wouldn't have done these things without thinking twice. Perhaps his parents wouldn't be in such a state as well.

Zion felt guilty and regretful.

Meanwhile, Genevieve couldn't bear to see Zion in a despairing state.

"Noah, that's enough."

"He's a boy, and also Nathaniel's son! He needs to learn to bear his responsibilities starting from now on."

"But he's only a four-year-old child!"

Genevieve felt that Noah was being unreasonably strict with Zion.

Yet, Noah said with a smile, "Child? Have you ever seen a four- year- old child sending message via a transmitting device? He was destined to be extraordinary since he was born. Well, that's enough. I won't scold you anymore because your parents will do it in place of me. But you don't have to worry. Although we can't get in touch with your Daddy now, he should be doing alright. You should take good care of yourself these days, and I will inform your Mommy about it."

"I want to go home and see Mommy."

Zion was still concerned.

Noah said in a low voice, "Listen to me, you can't go back now. You should stay here before Nathaniel takes you back, and Auntie Bay will take care of you. As long as you're safe, your Daddy and Mommy will be fine. Do you understand?"

"But what about Rita? My uncle..."

Before Zion could finish his words, he was interrupted by Noah.

"Rita has Wisdom with her. You just need to take good care of yourself, or else your mom will feel sad when she sees you like this."

Zion remained silent.

He knew that he had hurt a lot of people because of his waywardness. Therefore, Zion had to obey Noah's words by staying in the hospital for treatment.

Noah and Genevieve gave Zion a few more reminders before leaving the place.

Gissel quickly poured a glass of water for Zion, just like how she took care of her while they were in the shooting club.

Zion smiled while saying, "I said I'd bring you out and I did it. When my dad comes back, I'll get him to look for your sister. Don't worry, you'd be fine as long as I'm here!"

Gissel's eyes instantly welled up in tears.

"Thank you!"

She gestured. Then, Zion smiled before continuing, "No need to thank me! You were the one who was being kind to me first."

They looked at each other in the eyes and smiled. After that, Zion went to bed.

He was really worn out.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel had arrived at a nearby city, and he once again lost track of the human trafficker.

"Mr. Ye, shall we send more people over to help out?"

Merle asked and Nathaniel nodded his head.

"Let's do it. You should go back to the Ye family before dawn to protect Mango and the rest."

Nathaniel ordered calmly.

Merle nodded, "Can you handle it alone here?"

"No problem. Mango is my main concern. I'm afraid that Nick will harm her."

For some reason, Nathaniel felt more and more uneasy recently.

"All right."

Merle arranged some people out for investigation. He then put on a disguise while hopping on a train to Ocean City.

Meanwhile, Mango was extremely worried.

"How is it? How's Nathan?"

"Rest assured, Madam. Mr. Ye is doing fine now, but something did happen on the way."

Merle told her about the danger that Nathaniel encountered along the way. Although Merle didn't state the details, Mango knew that the accident that happened wasn't as simple as he said.

"Is there any news of Zion?"

"There is."

Mango tensed up upon hearing his affirmation.

"Is he really kidnapped by the human traffickers?"

Mango grasped his hand tightly.

Her hand was frozen stiff, and Merle was startled while looking somewhat uncomfortable.

He couldn't bear to get rid of her hand. Then, Merle lowered his head before saying, "We've received news that Zion was in the shooting club at Ocean City all this while. Also, he wasn't the only child being kidnapped, and Mr. Ye already know about it. Mr. Soo said that Zion had sought help from Mr. Song. As such, Mr. Hans and Mr. Song had led some people over to rescue him. However, Zion is slightly injured and he is currently being treated at the hospital. Mr. Soo is taking care of him, so rest assured."

Merle summarized the whole story in a minute, but he suddenly became slightly nervous.

On the other hand, Mango was even more anxious.

"Zion is injured? Is it bad? Where are his injuries? No, I'll go and see him now."

As Mango spoke, she quickly lifted the blanket but staggered on her feet due to the sudden weakness in her body.

"Madam!"

Merle held on to her, but his cheeks flushed red when he accidentally got into a physical contact with her.

However, Mango couldn't care less. After Merle helped her up, she suddenly regained her senses and calmed down.

"No! I can't go! If I do, Nathan will be in even more danger. If Nick found out about Zion, then Nathan will..."

Mango did not finish her sentence, but Merle had already guessed what she was trying to say.

Seeing how Mango was so considerate towards Nathaniel, Merle was slightly upset. However, he continued, "Don't worry, Madam. I've ordered them to conceal the news. They only reported about

the children being rescued from the club, and they didn't mention a word regarding Zion. Besides, I heard that many of the kids died, but the exact number of death remains unknown."

"That's a relief."

Mango lied down on her bed once again.

Seeing that she wasn't feeling quite well, Merle whispered, "Madam, Mr. Ye asked me to take you and Rita away from here, since Nick hasn't found out about it yet. Once he discovers the matter involving the club, you and Rita will..."

As they were talking, the sound of the car engine suddenly resounded from outside. Apparently, Nick had returned.

Mango's heart skipped a beat.

Merle said anxiously, "Madam, why don't you come with me now?" "It's too late! You'd better retreat first!" Mango was very calm.

Merle shook his head before saying, "No! My task is to protect Madam and Rita. So, I can't go.'

"Why can you do here? To confront Nick head-on? Think about it, his fighting skills aren't any worse than yours. What about the safety of Rita and Wisdom? Should I give up my children to follow you out of here? Merle, listen to me, you must leave right now! Even if something happens between me and Nick, you can still help Nathan while you're outside. If Nick is really against his brother, he won't hurt me and Rita. You should go now before things get ugly."

Upon hearing her words, Merle had no other choice but to leave.

"Madam, I will protect you guys."This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Hurry up and go."

Mango chased him away quickly.

She didn't know how Nick would react after finding out the things that happened in the club. However, Mango should handle it calmly or Nathaniel would be in danger.

Now, both she and Rita were hostages of Nick. If anything happened, Nick would surely threaten Nathaniel by putting their safety at risk.

Mango took a deep breath. Now that Zion was safe, her greatest wish was that Nathaniel would also return safely.

She then laid down while pulling the blanket over her body, pretending to be asleep.

After returning to the household, Nick immediately went up to the second floor and he arrived at Mango's bedroom.

Mango could feel Nick's footsteps approaching, and she could even feel his sharp eyes staring straight at her.

She tried hard to control her breathing and pretended to be in deep sleep. However, her heart was already pounding rapidly and her hands were sweaty.

Nick stared at her for a while. After noticing there was nothing strange about her, he turned to leave.

As an oversensitive person, Nick wasn't convinced at all. Therefore, he suddenly turned his head back to look at Mango again.

His sharp gaze could almost pierce through her thoughts.

Fortunately, Mango didn't move at all. She still looked the same as before, and even her breathing was calm and steady.

Finally, Nick turned around to leave. He even closed the door gently as if he had never been here.

After Nick left, Mango let out a heavy sigh of relief.

That was close enough!

She almost exposed herself.

If that occurred, Mango couldn't imagine what would happen to her and her children.

Right now, she was even more worried.

Why did Nick return in such a hurry to check her out? What was his intention?

Would he do something to the children?

At the thought of this, Mango almost broke out in cold sweat. A feeling of panic and uneasiness lingered around her and she was extremely anxious.
