The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 130

After Nathaniel left the police station and got into the car, he suddenly felt that the air in the car was very stuffy.

Today, he was going to ask Macy about what had happened five years ago, but he didn't expect her would mention Nick.

Nick's working as a mole had been kept secret. In order to protect his safety, the executives had even used all kinds of precautions, but in the end, Nick was still exposed.

At that time, there was only Macy by Nick's side.

At that time, Macy was the biggest suspect. The executives even planned to investigate her, but she turned out to be pregnant at that time.

She was pregnant with Nick's child!

After Madam Ye found out about Nick's child, she insisted on bringing Macy back from Yunnan in person. It was he who stopped Madam Ye, and he took Macy back instead.

However, Nathaniel did not slow down his investigation of Macy. All the evidence showed that Macy was a major suspect.

Nathaniel didn't know what was his younger brother Nick feeling before he died, but he must have really loved Macy. For this reason alone, Nathaniel stopped the investigation and he even took Macy back to Ye family, all for the sake of Nick's son. However, this incident was like a thorn stabbing deeply into Nathaniel's heart and it could not be pulled out no matter how hard he tried.

Now that Macy had mentioned Nick again, Nathaniel could not help but think of his previous doubts. He felt that it was necessary to investigate further. Even Nick would blame him, he still had to know the truth. Because he was not alone now, and he still had a wife and son who he needed to protect.

Nathaniel lit another cigarette and smoked silently. He hadn't smoked for a long time, but now he was in urgent need of a cigarette to numb himself.

Macy said that Nick died for him. There was something that no one knew, which was a secret between the two brothers. But Macy Cho knew it, which showed how much Nick had loved her and trusted her at that time. However, this woman didn't love Nick, which made Nathaniel very upset.

Back then, Nathaniel was still in the army participating in a secret mission. Later, because of the expose of the mission, he had to quit that mission and move back home to inherit his family business. However, since he and Nick were twin brothers, they looked identical.

If Nick stayed in Ocean City, within the scope that he could protect, perhaps Nick would not have died. However, he went to Yunnan instead, the place where the original mission failed.

Being exposed was fatal to Nick, but he also got the news that someone had taken Nick as him, that was why he was being targeted all the time. After Nick Ye knew about this, not only did he not clarify his identity, but he also continued in the mission under Nathaniel's name in order to protect him.

Therefore, when Nick died tragically in the end, Nathaniel was in extreme agony. He didn't know all of this until Nick died, but Macy knew all about it, which meant that Nathaniel had already told Macy his plan.

Now, not only did he want to find out what Mango had experienced five years ago, but he also wanted to know what role Macy had played in Nick's incident.

The cigarette was a little choking.

Nathaniel coughed violently and his eyes turned red, but he did not stop.

He even had a strange idea. If he could cough his heart out, would he feel much more comfortable? Would that mean he didn't have to be this sad and heartbroken?

A cigarette soon burned out. Although Nathaniel still couldn't calm down, he couldn't stay outside for too long either. He was afraid that Mango would wake up and worry about him.

After calming himself down, Nathaniel drove back to the hospital.

Mango hadn't woken up yet.

Fearing that the smell of cigarette on his body would irritate Mango, Nathaniel quickly changed his clothes and went to the bathroom.

His wound couldn't touch the water, so he could only wipe it with a towel.

Mango gently opened her eyes and looked at Nathaniel's movement at this time. Her eyes moved slightly, but she pretended not to know anything and closed her eyes again.

In fact, she woke up the minute Nathaniel left the ward.

The fire five years ago made her feel insecure. She couldn't fall asleep without any company. In the first few years, Zion accompanied her, he even held her hand tightly with his weak little hand, giving her a touch of warmth and comfort.

Although she had gradually learned to rest by herself in the past two years, she always liked to lower the temperature in the room to the minimum.

Although by doing this, it became a little cold, it could instead keep her awake at any time and anywhere, and she could wake up quickly at the moment of danger.

Obviously, Nathaniel didn't know all about this. He adjusted the temperature to an environment very favorable for sleeping, but for Mango, this temperature made her feel a little hot, and she would even dream of the burning scene in that big fire.

When Nathaniel was still there, she could sense that familiar scent and fall asleep. But once he left, the whole room suddenly turned into a furnace, which made her wake up suddenly and she could no longer sleep.

Mango knew how long Nathaniel had left. She had been counting the minutes since he left. Now he was back, although he did not say anything or did nothing, Mango's heart suddenly calmed down. Then she closed her eyes and fell asleep soundly.

When Nathaniel came out after the shower, he deliberately sniffed the smell on his body and found the smell of cigarette almost disappeared. Then he changed into a patient's gown and came to Mango's side.

She slept peacefully and did not feel any discomfort. Nathaniel was finally relieved. He gently lifted the quilt and got on the bed, squeezing into the same bed with Mango and hugging Mango tightly from behind.

Mango was slightly stunned, but she didn't say anything. She just let him hug her, but she was sensitive enough to feel Nathaniel's bad mood.

Where did he go just now?

What did he do?

Who did he see?

Why was he in a bad mood all of a sudden?

A series of questions that Mango couldn't understand, but after all, she didn't ask anything and just fell asleep like that.

Except for this time, she slept soundly, and she had sweet dreams all night long.

When the morning sun was reflected into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, it fell right onto the bed, as if covering them with a layer of gold, bringing a trace of softness and silence.

Nathaniel was the first to wake up.

It had been a long time since he woke up beside Mango last time. Now, everything seemed surreal, just like a dream.
