The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1406

Upon hearing that Nathaniel's surgery was successful, Mango's heart was finally put at ease.

"Take good care of him. I have to rest."

She really couldn't hold on any longer.

They still had a long way to go, and the journey back to Ocean City would not be peaceful, so she could not collapse now.

After Mango said that, she turned around and left. She came to an empty ward, lied down, and fell asleep almost immediately.

To be exact, she passed out.

Bettany was a little surprised by this, but she quickly performed a check-up on Mango.

Mango's wound was already infected, so it had become red and swollen. Bloodstains had long soaked the gauze, but Mango had endured it silently.

At this moment, Bettany was finally convinced and deemed Mango worthy to be her master's partner.

Then, Bettany sterilized and bandaged Mango's wounds once again. During this period of time, Mango had never woken up.

Thomas, who was looking after Nathaniel, asked quickly when he saw Bettany come out of the ward, "How is Mrs. Ye?"

"She's fine. She just needs to rest. She's been too anxious."

Bettany s words made Thomas sigh.

"How can she not be? After all, we are running for our lives, and Laborn is not easy to take down. He will catch up soon, and Atlas will not let go of this chance to kill us."

If Laborn and Atlas were to fight amongst themselves because of Bernard's death, then at this moment, they would deal with the enemy from the outside first. Both Laborn and Atlas were more than eager to see Mango and Nathaniel die.

Bettany remained silent.

"Where are your people? Why are they still hiding at a time like this?"

Thomas remembered that Bettany was powerful herself too. Didn't the well-trained people belong to Bettany?

Bettany shook her head and said, "They're not mine. To be exact, they're Laborn's. They're genetic warriors."

When Thomas heard this, his face suddenly changed.

"You're working for Laborn?"

"You know very well that Magnolia had founded a force of her own. Did you think that we were in a good position in Angolla all this time? Madam Xiao had managed to control a doctor who specializes in genetics, which was why she was able to train such a group of genetic soldiers. This was all to ensure the safety of the Second Prince and to escape from Laborn's control. But none of us had expected that all of this had been planned by Laborn. The doctor was actually on Laborn's side, and he had made use of Madam Xiao's selfdefense to accomplish what he had always wanted to do. This group of genetic soldiers is close to perfection. However, due to the fact that genetics are mysterious and unstable, they actually only obey Laborn. The reason why I was able to deploy them was that Laborn felt that I was useful. He wanted to use me to lead the soldiers to Madam Xiao and force us to go against each other, all because he wanted her to be left on her own. Even in Longford County back then, I was able to borrow the soldiers because I needed to help Atlas. All this time, I was alone. I had no command over them."

Bettany was sad when she talked about this.

She had been fighting alongside Magnolia for so long, and she thought she was powerful on her own too. However, she did not expect that she had been used by Laborn all these years, and this made her feel terrible.

On the other hand, Thomas didn't look well either.

"You should have told us earlier."

"I would if I had had the time."

Bettany lowered her head and felt a little guilty.

When Thomas heard this, he said coldly, "When you had the time? Don't you even have the time to send a text? Bettany, don't look for excuses for yourself. If I'm right, you had wanted to keep them all to yourself, right? It's just that you failed."

This time, Bettany didn't say anything. However, she only remained silent for a few seconds. Then, she raised her head and said, "Yes, I am a doctor too. I know how valuable these genetic soldiers are in the medical field. I don't have much research in genetic science, but I had always wanted to collect some data from them. There will always be someone who studies this field, right? Since that is the case, and because I couldn't help with anything else, at the very least, I had to obtain the genetic data. If our people can develop a method to resist genetic soldiers with the data, it might be an opportunity to redeem ourselves."

Thomas was slightly stunned when he heard this as he didn't think of this.

All of Bettany's actions were actually forced, and she had also wanted to protect herself. However, only Nathaniel and Mango could decide how Bettany should be dealt with.

"And did you get the data?"

"I did, but not all of it. If it weren't for what happened to the master and his wife, I might be able to continue my investigation."

"Tell Madam about this later."

Nathaniel was currently unconscious, so everything was up to Mango now. Even so, Thomas trusted Mango very much.

"Alright."

After this incident, Bettany saw Mango differently too.

Soon, Mango had slept for more than five hours when she was woken up by Thomas.

"Madam, we are leaving."

Mango was still drowsy when she heard Thomas's words, so she couldn't help but be stunned.

"Leave? Is something wrong with Nathan?"

She sat up too fast and almost fell to the ground as her eyes went dark all of a sudden.
