The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1377

Meanwhile, Isla looked in the direction where Mango was. Sweat was already forming on Mango's forehead, so it was evident that she was worried about the same thing as Isla.

When Isla saw that Bernard's men would enter the hut, she knew that there was no time for her to hesitate. Thus, she immediately pulled the trigger and shot at Bernard's leg.

The bullet cut through the air and headed to where Bernard was standing immediately.

However, Bernard avoided it with his agile reflexes and immediately became alert.

"There are snipers to our right."

When everyone heard that Bernard had been attacked, they came out quickly and shot Isla in the direction of Isla.

Mango's heart suddenly tightened when she saw this.

She had never thought that Isla would sacrifice herself to protect her. In fact, why would the latter take this mission so seriously?

While Mango was slightly stunned, Bernard had already run into the room to hide.

"Kill him! Shoot him to death!"

Bernard shouted with a ferocious face.

Right now, Mango didn't have the time to look at Isla's fate, let alone think about anything else. She could only steady her breathing and pull the trigger while aiming at Bernard's head.

However, Bernard was very alert. When he realized that there was a sniper in the room, he knew that he couldn't turn around and avoid it. Thus, Bernard pulled one of his men desperately so that the latter would be standing in front of him to protect himself.

In the end, the bullet went through his subordinate's temple. However, Bernard bent slightly, so the bullet brushed his scalp and flew out.

A trace of blood flowed out the wound in Bernard's head. It had a pungent smell, so he was annoyed immediately.

"D*mn it! There's actually a snipe in herr!"

Suddenly, he snatched the gun of his already dead subordinate and aimed towards Mango's location.

Then, Mango rolled on the spot and quickly changed her position. However, she didn't forget to aim at Bernard again while she was doing this.

This time, Bernard could not avoid it.

The bullet went through his chest, and he was surprised, but he also collapsed immediately.

"Mr. Gaylord!"

Bernard's people immediately panicked when they saw this.

However, Mango did not dare to continue fighting and quickly ran away to the exit.

At this moment, Nathaniel's men finally arrived. Thus, they surrounded Bernard's men and killed them all.

Now that Nathaniel had control over the battlefield, Mango quickly made her way to where Isla was. Then, she saw that Isla had been shot several times and was already on the verge of death.

"Isla!"

Mango was devastated when she saw this.

She gently held Isla in her arms. However, warm blood started seeping through her palms and dying her hands right. Thus, Mango couldn't help but tear up.

"Alas! Why did you do that?"

Isla had always been a selfish and cruel person in Mango's memories. She still remembered how she got someone to drug Mango to torture her. Therefore, how could such a wicked person sacrifice herself for Mango?

Wait, this wasn't right!

It was impossible!

She had to be plotting something.

"Are you plotting something? Do you have other intentions? Tell me!"

Mango had started to tear up, and her eyes hurt because of the warm tears.

Meanwhile, Isla looked at Mango and laughed slowly before saying, "Haha! Mango, you can never be a villain. After all, you are kind-hearted but determined, so you will never change your mind once you decide on something. Alas! You will be bullied by others easily if you continue to think this way. In fact, if Nathaniel hadn't been protecting you, you wouldn't have been so successful!"

"I know! Don't talk anymore. Let me call a doctor! I'm sure that we have a doctor in the team, so let me go get him!"

Just as Mango was about to stand up, Isla grabbed both of her hands.

"Nah, you don't need to do that because I know that I'm already done for. So, let's not waste the medical supplies that he has. Gah!"

Isla spat out a mouthful of blood suddenly while she was talking.

In the end, Mango could not suppress her tears as they rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

"Don't think that I will forgive you like this. Isla, I won't forgive you no matter what you've done. Do you think I will feel guilty just because you've died? Well, I'm telling you now that I will never think this way!"

"That's good. I'm a cold-blooded person, so I didn't do this for you too. Mango, I really dislike you."

Isla gasped and paused before saying, "I did this for Nathan. Although I know I don't deserve to be his mother, I wanted to do one last thing for him, so I won't die without regrets. You are the person he cares most, so I couldn't allow anything to happen to you. If something happened to you, what will happen to Nathaniel in the future? He has no relatives, and you're the only one who can accompany him for the rest of his life. Although I don't like you, he loves you the most. So, I hope that both of you can grow old together! Urgh!"

After saying that, Isla coughed violently, and the corners of her mouth were red with blood. But, she still smiled a little.

"I've had a pathetic life. I thought that I had been fighting for my country and my people, so I had put in so much effort to ignore my emotions. After all, I thought that I could give up anything for my country, but I realised that no one cared about my sacrifices. The king who I wanted to protect in my country was not doing it for my people at all. Alas! My life is ridiculous, so I can die without any regrets now. However, I don't have a family, and I hope that you can bring my ashes back and bury them beside Mr. Ye. I've loved him my whole life, and he's the only man I've ever loved. However, I'm the one who almost killed his son and the entire Ye family. I've made a mistake, and even if I go down there, he will probably never forgive me. However, I still want to see him one last time, even if he ends up scolding me."

Suddenly, when Isla finished speaking, she fell silent immediately.

Her arms slid down automatically, so Mango couldn't help but feel devastated.
