The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1358

When Mango saw this man, she felt that he was familiar.

"Hey, you! Have we met somewhere before?"

After Mango asked that, she felt that her words were not appropriate and hurriedly said, "Sorry, I just felt that you were familiar. Don't think too much about it, alright?"

"Do you want me to think too much?"

As the man said this, he let out a bright smile that showed off his dimples.

When Prisca saw them, she couldn't help but smile and say, "Alright, let's save her first."

"Yes, yes. I'll be troubling you then."

Mango hurriedly moved out of the way as she replied.

Then, the man walked over and touched Henry's forehead before frowning slightly.

"The wounds on his body are already infected, and this lead to inflammation, so he ended up getting a fever. If I'm right, the other parts of his body have also been infected as well. Alas! How much did this poor man go through? Is he one of your subordinates?"

Mango felt as if her heart had leaped to her throat when she heard what the man said. Thus, she couldn't help but nod her head at his last question, "Yes, he is. Can he be cured?"

"Well, other people probably can't cure him, but I can do it!"

"I'll leave it to you then."

The man paused when he saw how concerned Mango was towards Henry. After that, he started curing Henry without saying anything else.

On the other hand, Prisca had already walked out at some point, and she had closed the door as well.

Hence, Mango, the man, and Henry, who was still unconscious, were the only people left in the room.

All three of them were silent. Mango was extremely worried, but the man looked confident. On the other hand, Henry didn't know what was going on at all.

Finally, after the man had cured Henry for about ten minutes, the latter's fever had subsided.

"Wow! You're really amazing. His fever has gone down!"

When Mango touched Henry's forehead and realised that his temperature was back to normal, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, the man packed up his first aid kit and whispered, "Look, we shouldn't be too relieved because I just temporarily suppressed his inflammation. Tomorrow, I will send someone to take him away so that I can treat him better. Alas! Even the most talented doctor can't heal him at a place like this!"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Mango immediately realized that something was wrong when she heard what the man had said.

The man looked at Mango and replied with mixed emotions on his face, "This is a palace. Well, you probably don't need to know how the people here would play dirty tricks to get what they want."

"What? Are you telling me that someone tried to kill him after he had been saved?"

Mango's heart skipped a beat as she asked this question.

Did Priscilla do this?

If she was the culprit behind this, Mango would never forgive her!

Then, the man replied softly, "I don't think the person who took care of him did this. You can see the wounds on his body because they are obvious, but I'm telling you that he has been poisoned."

"What? Is that true?"

Mango was extremely shocked when she heard this.

The man nodded and continued, "Yes, this kind of poison is colourless and tasteless, and it can only be inhaled. Furthermore, this poison can only be found in Lebanon's palace. I've heard that this was used by his mother, the seventh wife of the king. Prince Lebanon missed his mother, so he went to her palace and lighted this incense himself. Thus, I think that this toxin appeared in your subordinate's body after he inhaled his incense. He won't die because of this toxin immediately, but it will continue to torture him as it will spread throughout his body day by day. In the end, he will finally pass away because of it."

When Mango heard what the man had said, he immediately knew who had attacked Henry.

"Urgh! It's Bernard."

It seemed that Bernard already knew that Henry was a spy that was working for her. He also knew that Lebanon was somehow related to Henry. That was why he had beaten Henry up and deliberately allowed Lebanon to take him away!

Hence, Henry had been poisoned because of the incense in Lebanon Palace, but they had known nothing about this all along.

In fact, if she hadn't met this man today, Henry

would have died at such a young age!

"Thank you, doctor. May I ask for your name?"

Well, Mango knew that her words were very abrupt. However, this matter was important as Henry's life was involved in this. Hence, she wanted to know who this man was.

However, the man laughed and said, "Haha! You will find out about that sooner or later. I won't tell you today."

Since he had already said so, Mango didn't continue to force him. Then, she asked worriedly, "Is my subordinate alright now?"

"If I found out this poison early, it would not be difficult to detoxify it. That's why I said that I would take him out for treatment. After all, there are many people here. Therefore, anyone can take action and get rid of him easily before I can detoxify this poison. Alas! If that happens, I'm afraid that no matter how good my medical skills are, everything I do will be useless!"

When Mango heard what this man had said, she knew that this was the best solution as well. However, this man was a stranger to her, so could she really trust him?

"Can I trust you?"

Mango asked directly.

After all, this man had concluded all this on his own. Hence, Mango didn't know whether Henry had been poisoned. If this man was lying, this meant that Henry was in great danger!

"Do you think you can trust me?"

The man smiled lightly as he asked this. His eyes were bright, so Mango couldn't help but open up to him.

At this thought, Mango hesitated a little as she felt that this man was familiar again.

Well, she had definitely seen this man somewhere before!

Thus, she trembled when she felt that this man was extremely familiar. Thus, she couldn't help but reply, "I believe you."

In fact, Mango was stunned when she heard herself saying these three words. On the other hand, the man was surprised as well.

Perhaps he was surprised because he didn't expect Mango to trust him this easily.

"Why do you trust me?"

"Hmm... I can't put this feeling into words. I think that you're pretty familiar, and I feel that we've met somewhere before. I know that this might come as a surprise to you, and I can't believe this is happening too, but this is how I feel."

Mango's words stunned the man again, and then a trace of emotion quickly flashed across his eyes, but it soon disappeared quickly.

Was he someone familiar to her?

Ah, so this was what Mango thought about him!

At this thought, the man smiled happily.
