The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 190

Mango struggled for a long time but after seeing Nathaniel's calm expression, she decided to tell him.

If Nathaniel could not accept it after she told him, then she would have to give up on him.

If that happened, then perhaps her bond with Nathaniel was not as strong as she thought. Even worse, there might not be a man who would tolerate this part of her.

Mango was sort of taking a risk to tell him, but at the same time, she felt that Nathaniel would not be easily shaken. These two conflicting emotions made her confused and struggled.

As he spotted Mango's uncomfortable expression, Nathaniel said softly, "I said you don't have to force yourself. Just tell me when you're ready. I don't have to know now. How about that? Would you like to eat something and try again?"

Mango was inspired upon seeing Nathaniel's encouragement,

"Okay," She said.

Nathaniel smiled and he stood up. After that, he personally made a bowl of millet porridge for Mango.

The porridge was very sticky and it seemed very sweet, but Mango still felt a little disgusted by it. However, she slowly ate it as Nathaniel watched It would be fair to say that Mango gulped it down without tasting it.

Truth be told, all the food she had eaten these days felt tasteless. Initially, she even thought that there was something wrong with her taste buds, but she later found that it was caused by her mental trauma.

As expected, she could not surmount her trauma.

Mango's stomach churned, but she tried her best to hold it back.

Nathaniel was very distressed to see her like this.

"Don't force yourself. This thing has to be settled slowly."

"I know. The reaction is not as strong as it used to be. Maybe we can take a break."

Mango smiled faintly, but Nathaniel could see that she was barely holding on.

"Mango..."

He still wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by the sound of the doctor's footsteps outside.

"Mr. Ye, please come out. I want to have a word with you about Miss Shen's condition."

Miss Shen which the doctor referred to was not Mango, but Rita.

Nathaniel's eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Go ahead. I'll be okay." Mango said.

Mango also knew that the Rita's illness could not be ignored, so she hurriedly urged Nathaniel to go.

"But then, you..."

"I'll be fine. Even if there was something wrong, I can just vomit it out. Rita is more important now and I can't visit her in this state. I'll be able to feel better only if you take good care of her for me."

Mango was anxious. Honestly, no mother could remain calm when they knew that their daughter's condition had changed, and she was no exception.

However, if she visited Rita like this, Mango would only end up scaring Rita.

As he saw the strength reflected in Mango's eyes, Nathaniel said softly, "I'll be back soon. You'll ask for the doctor if you have any problems?"

"Don't worry. I will."

As soon as Nathaniel left the room, Mango quickly rushed to the bathroom and vomited.

After that, she felt rather discouraged. Could it be that this mental trauma was too much for her?

However, if she continued like this, could she have what she wanted? There were plenty of people who tried their best to destroy her happiness, would she let those people get what they wanted?

No!

Of course not!

Mango tried her best to stop herself from vomiting. Next, she held the wall for support as she stood up slowly.

Mango was currently so weak until a slight push would have toppled her. Nevertheless, she persevered and she walked back to the ward step by step.

Nathaniel had not come back yet so she did not know how Rita was doing.

Right then, Mango felt impatient.

She had been back for a few days, but she had not seen Rita at all. Moreover, Mango had no clue about her current condition.

What had Rita experienced in the days after Mango had gone missing?

Why had Nathaniel brought Rita to this hospital when she was doing just fine over at St. Petersburg Hospital?

Had Abyss done something to Rita or Nathaniel?

Mango suddenly realized that a lot of things were out of her control. Furthermore, these things were beyond her knowledge.

Abyss was no longer the man Mango knew before. Unfortunately, this meant that the Tang family and the Ye family may no longer be on good terms in the future.

Therefore, she had to know what had happened during this period of time.

As she thought of this, Mango stood up gingerly and she pushed open the door of the ward. For the first time, she left her hospital ward.

In truth, Mango needed a lot of courage to leave the room especially since she was alone.

The moment Mango opened the door, she felt that everyone around her was looking at her, similar to when she was on the slaver's ship. Thus, Mango felt apprehensive as she saw the piercing eyes that looked as if they wanted to strip her down to the bone.

Mango retracted the foot that she had just stepped out with. Even more than that, she wanted to shut the door and she would be a recluse for the rest of her life.

"It's not a bad idea, isn't it?'1 Mango thought to herself.

As long as Nathaniel was around, no one would dare to do anything to her. What was more, the only trade-off was that she could not leave the room.

However, the moment Mango closed the door, Nathaniel's concerned eyes appeared in her mind.

Undoubtedly he would treat her well because he loved her. Additionally, he would do so because he felt both responsible and guilty for her. But how long could a person keep going on like this?

How long could Mango squander Nathaniel's feelings like this?
