The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1194

Wisdom didn't respond to Bettany's reply, and after hanging up, he went to Mango's side.

Meanwhile, Mango was still rubbing her hand against Nathaniel's, thinking that she could warm him up a little. However, Nathaniel's body felt as if it was frozen and no matter what she did, she could not warm him at all.

"Mommy, she promised. She'll be here soon. I'll go wait outside."

Wisdom's eyes stung as he was on the verge of tears all of a sudden.

He could not bear to see Mango and Nathaniel like this, as it had reminded him of his father.

Nick's imposter.

Regardless, Wisdom still cared about him, especially during his final moments.

In this moment, Wisdom's heart was tumbling with emotions.

He couldn't let anything happen to his family again. He absolutely couldn't! He would do anything to protect his family, even if it meant something unforgivable.

It was not as if he couldn't recognize Bettany's anger and disappointment, nor did he not care about Bettany's mood, but he had to make a choice.

She could think of it as he was threatening her, but all he wanted was to protect everyone in his family.

After Wisdom informed Mango, he didn't wait for her reply. Then, he stood up and walked out.

Mango watched as Wisdom left. She didn't know what to say of her child as she felt as if he was always bearing everything on his own, even things that weren't meant for him to take responsibility for.

She was afraid that Wisdom would be tired, but now, she didn't know what she could say to make him feel better.

After Wisdom left, it was only Nathaniel and Mango in the room.

Mango continued to rub Nathaniel's hand, and her eyes were no longer filled with anxiety, but there were traces of calmness in them.

No matter what the future held, whether it was filled with more challenges and setbacks, she would still be by Nathaniel's side, without a single regret.

Then, Mango raised the room's temperature by a few degrees once more.

Soon, the heat hit her in the face, causing her entire body to sweat. However, Mango could not help but feel a little sad when he saw that it didn't warm Nathaniel's body up at all.

Not long after, Bettany arrived. She didn't know if it was because she lived nearby or she had subconsciously used shortcuts, but she didn't care about any of that now.

When Wisdom saw Bettany, his expression was the same as usual as he greeted her calmly, "Bettany."

Zion, on the other hand, was a bit surprised at first, but his eyes darkened instantly.

Zion was aware of Wisdom's suspicion of Bettany, but now that Bettany was here, he knew that his dad's condition wasn't good at all.

Then, he suddenly remembered something and said to Wisdom, "Wisdom, where is my ring?"

When Zion had been given the ring from Nanny Zhang, he didn't know what it was for. Later on, in order to find the Hikasa Manual in Longford County, Zion had given the ring to Henry. Afterwards, Henry and Mango had put on a show to make others think that Henry had betrayed Mango, and it was then that the ring had disappeared.

But no one knew that this ring was now in

Wisdom's hands.

No one knew how Wisdom had gotten it, but Zion did. Henry had asked someone to give it to Wisdom.

Wisdom was Bettany's student, and Bettany was from Longford County. Besides, Wisdom was Zion's elder brother too, so giving the ring to Wisdom was ultimately the right choice.

Then, Wisdom gave it back to Zion right after he got it, but unfortunately, Zion couldn't be bothered to put it away, so he asked Wisdom to keep it for him.

Now that Zion saw Bettany, although he didn't know what the ring had meant to Nanny Zhang, he felt that it wasn't just an ordinary ring as Nanny Zhang had given it to him like it was a precious heirloom.

Others might not be able to see it as anything special, but would Bettany, who was from Longford County, be able to?

Zion wasn't sure, but he wanted to give it a shot.

No matter what, his priority was to protect his dad.

Wisdom didn't know that Zion had such thoughts in his mind, and when he heard Zion mention the ring, his only thought was that it was something from Longford County. Perhaps it might help Nathaniel, but could it be that the poison came from the ring?

Wait, that was not right. Nathaniel didn't even touch the ring that often.

Wisdom still couldn't figure it out, but he took the ring out from his pocket and handed it to Zion in front of Bettany.

"Here."

When Bettany saw the ring, her pupils suddenly contracted, and an unknown emotion disappeared inside her in an instant.

"This ring..."

"My grandmother, Nanny Zhang, gave it to daddy before she died, but daddy gave it to me because I liked it very much. What's wrong with it?"

Zion didn't say that the ring was for him, and said that it was for Nathaniel instead, which caused Bettany to be lost in deep thought.

"Where is he now?"

At this moment, Bettany was suddenly a little anxious.

Although Wisdom didn't know what was the use of the ring, he knew that Zion had done that on purpose.

The result was exactly what they had wanted, so naturally, he did not put too much thought about

"Over here."

Then, Wisdom quickly led Bettany upstairs.

Brantley had been laying low in the corner of the living room quietly, and he was deep in thought.

"Toby, what happened to Nathan?"

"He had a headache, sir. Wisdom is Bettany's student, and I assume he called her here to check up on Mr. Ye. After all, Mr. Yes headaches are quite torturous."

Nathaniel's illness was not a secret in the household.

Although Brantley felt that something wasn't quite right, he couldn't identify anything suspicious in Toby's words. He just frowned and said, "Get someone to prepare some medicine and supplements. Even if it's just a headache, we have to take it seriously. If Bettany is able to cure Nathaniel, our family owes her."
