The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 480

Mango knew that Madam Ye was worried about her, but she didn't want Nathaniel to know what had happened. So, she hurriedly cut in, "I'll go with you and draw the bath."

"All right."

It was clear that Nathaniel did not want to separate from Mango at all.

Madam Ye felt even sorrier for Mango once she saw her acting like this.

"I'll have someone to prepare food."

"It's fine, Mom. I had breakfast on the plane, so I just want to rest after my shower."

Nathaniel was really tired.

All his life, he had never felt so utterly exhausted. If it wasn't for the thought of Mango sustaining him, Nathaniel wasn't sure if he would make it back.

Mango also felt her heart ached at the sight of the dark circles beneath Nathaniel's eyes.

"Mom, we're not hungry yet, so we'll be resting in our room."

"Okay, go ahead."

Madam Ye knew that there wasn't any point in speaking to Nathaniel now. Even if she did, he wouldn't even listen.

After that, the couple went up to their room.

As soon as they entered, Nathaniel pinned Mango to the door while kissing her frantically.

At the same time, Mango did not back down from his affection. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck enthusiastically as she tiptoed to kiss him back.

The two of them were like tinder to a flame, and their passion began to engulf the entire room.

Nathaniel embraced Mango tightly, and his hands began to wander up and down her body.

Although Mango really wanted to continue, her body still couldn't take it.

Just as Nathaniel moved to strip her of her clothing, Mango gasped, "My period isn't over yet."

Nathaniel was perplexed.

"It's not over yet?"

He remembered that Mango's period had been here for over a week.

Why wasn't it over yet?

Mango avoided Nathaniel's gaze as she replied, "Dr. Bay said that the miscarriage damaged my body, and there's still some residual blood clots. That's why my period is longer."

Of course, Nathaniel didn't have much of a clue what Mango was talking about, but since Genevieve said it, he decided to suppress his desire. After all, Mango didn't look too good.

"But I miss you so much."

This was the truth.

Nathaniel was a virile man that had undergone over a week of inhuman torture. Now that he was back with his wife, he couldn't wait to ravage her.

It was so close, and yet he could not have what he wanted. So, how could Nathaniel not be frustrated?

Guilt tinged Mango's tone as she replied, "How about I draw you a bath?"

As she spoke, she ducked out from under Nathaniel's arm before heading to the bathroom. However, he decided to sweep her up from behind.

"Nathan, put me down!"

Mango was slightly panic.

He wasn't going to go ahead, right?

Although she wanted to give herself to him, her body really could not take the stress.

Hence, Mango was a little anxious.

Yet, Nathaniel carried her to the bed, and he set her down gently before taking off her shoes. He muttered, "You should rest since you're not feeling well. Don't have to draw my bath water for me, okay? Just lie down, and going to take a shower."

He even stroked her hair after finishing speaking, and that action nearly brought Mango to tears.

What if her body stayed this way forever?

Mango was a little worried.

Nathaniel then entered the bathroom. After closing the door, his expression shifted.

He turned on the shower and let the water dropped, but Nathaniel immediately placed a call to Thomas.

"Where are you?"

In truth, Thomas didn't expect to receive a call from Nathaniel so quickly.

He whispered, "Mr. Ye, I'm in Colliqer County."

"Colliqer County? What are you doing there instead of staying beside Mango's side?"

Nathaniel suddenly felt as if he had missed something important.

Over the past eight days, Thomas strangely had not called him at all. Upon his return, Thomas had actually run off to Colliqer County and the person who picked him up with Mango was Merle.

The more Nathaniel thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss.

"Did something happen while I was gone?"

Nathaniel's words surprised Thomas.

"Mr. Ye, did you not receive any of the calls I've made? Not even our secret signal?"

A frown formed on Nathaniel's face as he heard Thomas's words.

"You called me?"

"More than once."

At this time, even Thomas noticed that something was wrong.

"Mr. Ye, did something happens to you? Was your phone hacked? If not, why couldn't we contact you?"

Clearly, Thomas was really worried.

Yet, Nathaniel replied in a low voice, "We'll talk about that later. Can you tell me if anything happened over the past week? What are you doing in Colliqer County?"

Since Nathaniel had asked, Thomas went ahead to tell Nathaniel everything.

However, she believed that her son could handle it well.

Nathaniel nodded and he replied. "I got it, I'll take care of it. Mom, I'm heading out, so help me watch over Mango for a while."

"When are you coming back?"

"It'll be a while."

After he finished speaking, Nathaniel left the house.

He drove to the military hospital before entering Noah's office.

"Nathan, you're back?"

Noah stood up happily at the sight of Nathaniel's return, but the other man immediately punched him in the face.

"Are you insane?"

Noah dodged his first punch, but Nathaniel quickly threw his second one at him.

Thus, Noah had no choice but to fight against him.

Both men were evenly matched, and they were slightly injured after ten minutes of fighting. However, Nathaniel's anger had dissipated somewhat.

"Why didn't you tell me about Mango's situation? If she failed to make it, I wouldn't have been able to see her for the last time."

Nathaniel stopped to stare at Noah while gasping for breath.

Noah knew that Nathaniel would definitely come for him once he returned, so he decided to tell the truth.

"So what if I told you? You were at a critical point in your treatment, so how could I cut it off? You would be a cripple for life! You're not a doctor, so what could you do even if you come back? Also, Mango didn't want us to tell you about her condition."

"What did you say?"

Nathaniel was stunned with disbelief.

Noah ignored the murderous look in his eyes as he continued, "You heard me. Your wife is amazing, and she managed to infiltrate the secret base and recorded your treatment before coming to interrogate me. What else could I say? I could only tell her the truth."

"Are you out of your mind? If I wanted her to know, I would have called!"

Nathaniel's heart ached when he realized that Mango already knew his secret.

Nathaniel knew very well what he had endured.

He couldn't imagine how much despair she had experienced upon seeing what he was going through.

Worst, she was still sick! And her life was in danger!

Alas, Nathaniel had no idea what was going on. Other than that, he'd even worried her.

For a moment, Nathaniel's heart felt like it had been crushed by a rock and it was hard to breathe.

"I'm telling you, if anything happens to my wife, I'll f*cking kill you."

Nathaniel couldn't stay in Noah's office any longer.

Right now, he couldn't wait to see Mango. Nathaniel wanted to know how long she would continue to stay strong, and whether if she knew that he was worried about her as well.
