The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1259

Angela didn't expect Mango to be so sharp, so she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Her momentary daze was enough to let Mango know that her guess was almost accurate.

Nathaniel kept quiet after Mango spoke.

Meanwhile, the rescue began outside.

Mango and Nathaniel were pulled upward and so was Angela. However, she was restrained as soon as she went up.

"Give me the antidote."

Nathaniel's voice was icy cold. There was no warmth in his tone.

Angela shivered a little and gave the antidote to him. Only at this moment did Mango see that his fingers were black.

"Are you poisoned?"

Mango felt weak and shaky. Her eyes were filled with concern.

Nathaniel replied softly, "It's okay, I'll bring you to a shower first."

After saying that, he placed the antidote in his pocket and said coldly, "Lock this woman up. I need to know all her secrets."

"Yes sir."

The bodyguards immediately stepped forward, and Angela was so scared that she struggled against their hold immediately.

"Hey, don't be so ungrateful. I saved your wife just now."

"If it weren't for that, you would've already been dead now."

After saying that, Nathaniel ignored her and left the ancestral temple with Mango in his arms.

As he returned to the residential area at the back, Rita and Wisdom ran over to him hurriedly.

"Dad, what happened to mom?"

"Don't come over. Your mom inhaled the incense just now. She'll be fine after resting for a while. Go take a rest. Wisdom, come with me."

Nathaniel paused for a moment before he asked Wisdom to stay.

Although Rita was a little worried, she was no longer so worried when Nathaniel called Wisdom to go with him.

Then she returned to her room.

As Wisdom entered the room, he frowned when he saw Mango.

"Mom, were you poisoned by someone else?"

"Can you settle the problem?"

Nathaniel's face was solemn.

Wisdom nodded and said, "This drug is nothing. It's just a poison that temporarily paralyzes the nerves. It doesn't affect the body much. We can just wash it off using water. But mom, weren't you with dad all the time? How could you be poisoned?"

"A woman did it."

The look in Nathaniel's eyes was a little cold.

Wisdom didn't ask any further questions. He gave Mango a detailed examination before he felt relieved.

"It's okay. She will be fine after getting some rest."

"Alright. You should rest, too."

Nathaniel said calmly as he carried Mango to the bathroom. He rinsed the poison off her body before taking the antidote himself.

Mango looked at Nathaniel and let out a soft sigh while saying, "You're always ignoring your own safety. Aren't you afraid that the poison will affect your health after too long?"

"To me, you are the most important. I was upset that I couldn't save you the first instance you had fallen into the cellar. I can't let anything happen to you ever again."

"You didn't save me at the first instance because you have to deal with other things outside, didn't you?"

Nathaniel was slightly taken aback at her words. Then he smiled as a trace of warmth returned to his eyes.

"It's all settled. You don't have to worry."

Nathaniel did not tell her in detail about what had happened after he had been enthralled by the incense, nor did he tell her about Wisdom. To him, everything could change slowly with the passage of time and the thinking of men.

"Are you famished? Shall I get you something to eat?"

"I'd love to."

Mango was indeed really hungry. Her body had not yet recovered its strength, so it was nice if she could have some food.

Nathaniel patted her on the head and arranged for bodyguards to guard her. Then, he went to the kitchen.

After Rita returned to her room, she accidentally saw a woman being dragged by a few bodyguards to the back of the house. She could not help but freeze momentarily.

She followed them quickly out of curiosity.

Angela was locked in a cave by the bodyguards. They even brought out a whip.

There were barbs on the whip. One single slash would definitely slash one's skin open. Adding barbs into the equation, the process would be even more torturing.

Angela's face turned ashen abruptly.

"Hey, I'm warning you. Don't do this to me, or else, you'll regret it!"

However, the bodyguards stared at her coldly as if they didn't hear her.

The whip cut through the air and smashed on the ground. A loud noise was hurt, which scared Angela into a high pitch scream.

"I'm being killed! Help! Is there a good Samaritan out there who can save me? I'm just a weak woman who is being tortured by villains. Is there still justice in this world?"

Angela cried loudly as if she was if she was being tortured inhumanly.

Her shrill voice hurt the bodyguard's ear. He took the whip into his hands and swung it.

"Ouch!"

This time, Angela was not faking it.

Rita could even see droplets of blood dancing and flying in the air.

Angela's whole body trembled in fear.

"You f*cking b*stard!"
