The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 177

After Nathaniel entered the bathroom, Abyss's face fell.

What exactly did Abyss need to do to make Nathaniel leave as soon as possible?

After Nathaniel had tidied up his hair, he turned on the tap and pretended that he had really used the toilet. Then, he walked out of the bathroom.

Abyss had already sat on the sofa and began to drink some tea, looking so calm as if nothing had happened, but Nathaniel seemed to see his hands trembling.

His doubts towards Abyss grew.

Keeping a straight face, Nathaniel nodded to Abyss and then left.

After he left, Abyss stood in front of the French window for a long time.

He was afraid that Nathaniel would return once more.

This man was simply too annoying.

If Abyss hadn't reacted quickly, Nathaniel would have seen Mango.

At the thought of Mango being discovered by Nathaniel and that he would take her way, Abyss's hate towards Nathaniel increased.

Abyss even had the thought of letting Nathaniel die in the United States. With this thought arising in his mind, a flash of fierceness flashed through Abyss's eyes and then quickly disappeared.

This time, Nathaniel did not return. Instead, he went straight to a hospital and sent the hair for DNA testing.

It would take at least three days for the result to be out. Nathaniel could not wait so long, he was already planning to visit Abyss's mansion at night.

Thomas arrived after a few hours.

"Mr. Ye."

Thomas was very careful when he saw Nathaniel outside the hospital.

Nathaniel nodded and asked him to get into the car. Soon, the two of them left.

"I suspect Abyss has hidden Mango. Go and investigate Fallen Paradise secretly. Check if Abyss went there on the day of the auction."

Nathaniel's eyes were a little deep, and his hands were tightly clasped together.

He didn't want to be the enemy of the Tang family. Nathaniel even wanted to be on good terms with the Tang family because of their care of Mango and his children for the past five years. But if Abyss was really the person who took Mango away, Nathaniel didn't dare to imagine what he would do.

Thomas was quite capable here. When he heard Nathaniel's words, he immediately went to work.

When Nathaniel returned to the hospital, Rita and Wisdom were playing. These days, Wisdom seemed to have matured very fast and took good care of Rita. He could make Rita laugh everyday and her laughter sounded like bells, putting everyone in a good mood.

"What are you talking about? Why are you laughing so happily?"

Nathaniel retracted all emotions from the outside world.

In front of his daughter, Nathaniel didn't want to display any negative emotions or unhappy feelings.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Rita was very happy when she saw Nathaniel.

These days, it was Nathaniel who accompanied her. Every time she opened her eyes, she would either see Nathaniel or Wisdom, she was no longer alone.

This feeling was really good.

If only she had her mother and her brother by her side.

Rita happily reached out her hands to Nathaniel and said like a spoiled child, "Daddy!"

"Good girl!"

Nathaniel kissed her forehead, then put Rita on his lap and sat down.

"Hey, why is there a milkshake here?"

"Brother Wisdom went to buy it for me. The doctor said I could eat it, I'm not eating it secretly."

Rita said very happily as if getting a milkshake was a great joy for her.

Nathaniel felt extremely upset.

Rita should have been the little princess of the Ye Family. She was born with a silver spoon, but in this situation, his heart was aching.

However, Nathaniel was also very good at concealing his emotions. He smiled and said to Wisdom, "Wisdom has really grown up. He even knows to take care of his sister."

Wisdom embarrassedly touched the back of his head. In fact, he missed his brother very much.

"Daddy, Brother Wisdom said that when I recover, you will bring us to the amusement park. Is it true?"

"Do you want to go?"

Looking at Rita's hopeful eyes, Nathaniel couldn't bear to refuse.

"Of course I want to go! I will go with my brother, Brother Wisdom, you and mommy. Shall our whole family go? I've grown up but I don't know what the amusement park looks like. I don't know if it's as pretty and fun as what the television shows."

Rita was really happy.

When the doctor told her that there was hope for her illness and that she could run under the sun like other children, no one knew how happy Rita was.

Now Rita wanted to share this joy with Wisdom and Nathaniel. Her happiness was like a contagious virus and everyone around her was happy.

"Yes, as long as Rita cooperates with the doctor's treatment, we can go out and play soon."

"Really?"

"Of course, daddy will not lie to you."

Nathaniel smoothed Rita's hair. Because of a long period of antibiotic injections, Rita's hair was not as smooth as other girls, even a little dry. This made Nathaniel even more upset.

If Mango knew that Rita was going to have an operation, would she be anxious?

Zion's whereabouts were unknown now. With Rita undergoing such a huge operation, Mango would probably be super anxious, wouldn't she?

But it was a pity that he, as Mango's husband, couldn't stay with her.

Nathaniel just wanted his family of five to be together and that would be the most beautiful scene in the world. But now...

Nathaniel was somewhat dejected.

Rita touched Nathaniel's hand and said, "Daddy, are you unhappy?"

"No."

"But I feel that something is wrong with your heart. It seems that you are very unhappy. Yesterday I called Mommy, but her phone was turned off. My brother didn't answer the phone either. Daddy, do you think that they didn't hear because there was something on? Why don't you call them? I'm going to have an operation soon and I'm scared. I want Mommy and Brother to be with me. I want to see them as soon as I come out, okay?"

Rita's pleading gaze was like a sharp dagger awaiting Nathaniel.

How could he tell his precious daughter that her mommy and brother would not come?

Wisdom suddenly felt a little sad. "Daddy, I'm going out to buy something."

He ran away quickly, but the corners of his eyes were noticeably red.

Nathaniel knew that he must have thought of Zion again.

The relationship between the two little boys was so good. Now that Zion's whereabouts were unknown, it was miraculous that Wisdom didn't show any emotions in front of Rita.

"Daddy, what's wrong with Brother Wisdom?"

"Nothing, maybe he wants to pee."

Nathaniel could only use a very bad excuse to change the topic.

Rita was like an angel, the best gift that the gods had given him and Mango. Now in the face of his daughter's questions, Nathaniel did not know how to answer. He could only whisper, "Zion is sick and needs to be isolated. Mobile phones have radiation and the hospital doesn't allow him to bring it in. When you're well, we can see them when we go back, okay?"

"Really?"

Rita blinked her big eyes, but she felt a little uneasy.

She hadn't seen her mommy and brother for a long time.

"Of course it's true. Daddy won't lie to you."

Nathaniel looked at Rita dotingly, but guilt flashed in his heart.

After receiving Nathaniel's affirmation, Rita's uneasy heart relaxed. Her smile was beautiful, and her dimples appeared on her face. She was so adorable.

"Daddy, let me tell you, I have a spiritual connection with my brother. No matter how far away I am, I can feel my brother's feelings. Don't you think it's amazing?"

Rita said as if she was showing off a precious piece of treasure. She also look around secretively, looking especially mysterious.

Nathaniel's heart was slightly moved. It was said that twins had a telepathic connection. Did twins of different sexes have that too?

Or did Rita sense something?

Nathaniel was a little worried.

"Rita, don't think too much. Zion is fine."

Now that Rita was about to have her operation, any negative emotions could affect the success rate of the operation.

Nathaniel could not afford to take this gamble.

He had already lost a son, he couldn't lose his daughter.

Rita smiled and said, "Daddy, you don't have to be nervous. Some time ago, I felt a pain in my chest. I thought there was something wrong with my body, but it must be my brother. I was so worried, but I'm relieved when I heard you say that he's just sick. My brother's body is very good. He doesn't easily get sick so it must be quite serious this time. Otherwise, he would have come to visit me, right?"

At the end of her sentence, Rita felt a little disappointed. Nathaniel's heart ached, but he said with a smile, "Yes, Zion is very concerned about what happened to you. By the way, he also bought a gift for you but I left in a hurry, so I forgot to bring it along. I'll make it up to you later, okay?"

"No, I like all the gifts that my brother bought. Some time ago, my brother was not in a good condition, but lately my chest doesn't hurt so much. Does that mean that my brother's illness will be cured soon? When my operation is successful and brother has recovered, then we can go out and play together, right?"

Rita said happily, as if she could already see that scene.

Nathaniel felt somewhat comforted when he heard her words.

Zion should be safe, shouldn't he?

It was said that the telepathic connection between twins was very accurate. At this moment, Nathaniel would rather believe what Rita had said. He was driven to his wits' end.

Although Rita was in good spirits, her body still couldn't withstand too much joy. She rubbed her eyes and yawned, but she didn't want to sleep.

Rita was afraid that if she slept for too long, she would not be able to talk to her daddy for a long time.

It had been five years before she was together with her father and wanted to talk to him more.

"Daddy, can you tell me a story? Mommy tells me many beautiful stories." Rita forced herself to stay energetic.

Nathaniel's heart hurt but he said with a smile, "Sure, I'll tell Rita a story about a princess and a prince. There used to be a girl who was the little princess of her family..."

Nathaniel's voice was low and magnetic, and Rita fell asleep after a while. Her little head was leaning against Nathaniel's arm. She was so quiet, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, just like an angel's.

Nathaniel held Rita tightly, afraid that she would fly back to the sky as soon as he loosened her grip. This uneasy feeling made him experience the pain and sadness that Mango had felt for five years. He missed Mango more and more.
