The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1143

"Rita!"

Mango's heart was about to shatter when she saw this scene.

Meanwhile, Zion was stunned.

There was blood!

Blood was all over the place!

It was just like the day when he shot the terrorist to death.

On that day, he had watched how the terrorist's eyes opened widely while the latter's blood filled all over the ground. Now, this scene was repeating itself!

Suddenly, he felt a throbbing pain in his brain, and it was as if his head was about to explode because of these memories.

Then, Zion's eyes turned scarlet in no time.

"D*mn it! How dare you hurt him!"

As Zion said this, his expression started to change. He rushed over like a bolt of lightning and punched the kidnapper's face.

However, the kidnapper was not weak either. When he saw that Zion was attacking him, he immediately pushed Rita away and started fighting against Zion.

While they were fighting, Zion's eyes were red, and right now, the whole world looked red to him.

He had gone insane, and he could only attack the kidnapper repeatedly...

However, the kidnapper had been defending himself all this time.

Meanwhile, Mango ran quickly over Rita when she saw that the kidnapper had tossed Rita aside. Her hands trembled as she hugged Rita in her arms.

"Rita, Rita, how are you?"

"Mommy, I'm fine!"

Rita opened her eyes and stuck out her tongue playfully. After that, she even took out a broken bag with blood from the bottom of her skirt.

"It's fake, also the kidnapper only used a fake gun. It won't hurt anyone!"

Mango was completely dumbfounded after hearing that.

A fake gun?

She looked at Zion subconsciously. Somehow, she noticed that the man who fought with Zion looked quite familiar.

"That person is..."

"It's Uncle Mateo!"

Rita stood up after saying that. Then, she grabbed Mango's hand and handed her to Nathaniel.

"Daddy, are you sure that this plan will work?"

"Well, l"m not sure either."

As Nathaniel said this, he grasped Mango's hand and interlocked his fingers with her.

Meanwhile, Mango still couldn't recover from her shock yet.

Right at this moment, Wisdom came over and took off his jacket. He wrapped it around Rita's shoulders and said softly, "To be exact, there is a better way to cure Zion, which is to make him cry. He had been under pressure for a long time. However, as you all have seen, the shooting that happened previously traumatised him, so he ended up developing an alter ego. Obviously, he needs to vent his stress somehow, and crying is normally the best way to do so. However, have you all seen him cry before?"

The answer to this question was obviously 'no'.

In fact, they had rarely seen Zion tear up, let alone bursting in tears.

Mango seemed to realise something after hearing the conversation.

"Wait, did you all plan this?"

When Nathaniel saw Mango's frown, he spilt the truth guilty, "Since Rita gave us this idea, I thought that we should try it out. I mean, what if this method can really cure him?"

"Hey! Daddy, you're so shameless! How could you pass the buck to me?"

Rita narrowed her eyes and looked at Nathaniel while she said this.

However, Nathaniel ignored what his daughter said. Instead, he turned around and comforted Mango, "I promise I know my limits. Don't worry, Mateo is there to look after us as well. If this doesn't work, I'll make sure to send him to therapy or other traditional cures that would work.

Although Mango was furious, her heart still sank when she saw how her son had almost gone insane now.

Meanwhile, Mateo had always known that Zion was good at fighting. However, he was even taken aback now.

After all, Zion had developed an alter ego after being traumatised, and now, Zion was more powerful than before!

Mateo had been fighting with Zion for fifteen minutes till now. However, when he saw how both of their stamina were at their limits, he immediately hit Zion's neck to knock him out.

After that, Zion's vision went black, and his body fell to the ground weakly.

"Zion!"

When Mango saw this, she was worried. Thus, Mateo immediately held Zion, who had fainted, in his arms.

"Don't worry, he's fine. He's just too tired, so he will be fine after some rest."

After that, Mateo took off his headgear and revealed his entire body that was drenched in sweat.

Mango feared up when she saw this scene.

Then, she took Zion from Mateo's arms and whispered, "Thank you, uncle."

"Hey, don't swear it. Also, it was my fault because I didn't notice how his condition has escalated to this. Alas! I guess I neglected him, after all. Don't worry too much because I'll make sure to apply for leave for him. He can come back whenever he wants, so he doesn't need to stay in the military area for the time being."

"Alright, thank you."

Mango had the same thoughts as well. After all, she would only start thinking about sending Zion back to the military base when he was fully recovered.

After that, Nathaniel took Zion from Mango's hands and wrapped Zion with his coat. Then, he said to Mateo, "Uncle, we're celebrating the new year at grandfather's house this year. Also, Walter and Deborah's wedding will be in a few days too. Can you show up to support us if you have the time?"

"All right."

Mateo didn't refuse Nathaniel's suggestion.

After all, who else was in the Hans family now?

In fact, there was only Terrance and him in the house. In this case, their house would be cold and lifeless just with both of them there. Hence, joining in the fun at Brantley's place seemed like a better option to them.

"Let's go. I'll send you all back. Besides, I took a taxi here so that I could put on a more realistic act, so I need to hitch a ride back too."

Mateo didn't beat around the bush at also.

After that, all of them got in the car as Mateo started to drive them back to the Ye's Mansion.

That night, both Mango and Nathaniel didn't sleep well.

On the other hand, Wisdom was also sleepy while Zion was in a coma right now. Thus, Rita was the only one who was in a better mood.

Mateo told them to take a rest. So, Rita changed her clothes and walked away with Mateo.

Meanwhile, Mango and the others didn't wake up until 4 p.m.

After that, everyone woke up except Zion.
