The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 194

Mango's mind suddenly came to a realization.

Just a moment ago, she had said that she would live her life together with Nathaniel and she would be worthy of him. Now, Rita was waiting for her to be strong enough to be by her side and her son was waiting for her to rescue him. Thus, how could she be knocked down by a temporary setback?

She was Mango Shen!

God did not take her life in that big fire incident five years ago. Hence, was this little setback a big deal?

Right then, Mango felt a wave of courage wash over her.

"Mom, I know what to do now."

As she said that, Mango's eyes were determined.

Of course, she was still worried and sad. Furthermore, she wished to accompany Rita in the operating room since she knew what kind of pain Rita would suffer on the operating table. But at this moment, she knew what she should do instead.

Upon hearing that, Madam Ye smiled with relief.

"I'll get you something to eat, all right? You should eat as much as you can. I'll ask Wisdom to accompany you."

"Alright!"

This time, Mango did not refuse. In truth, she wanted to follow Nathaniel to the operating room but when she saw Thomas was leading the experts there, Mango turned back to her ward eventually.

At this, Wisdom frowned deeply because he did not know that his mommy was ill!

Wisdom quickly followed Mango as she went back to the ward.

"Mommy, are you really sick? What happened to you actually?"

Obviously, Wisdom was very worried and he looked straight at Mango.

However, Mango said with a smile, "Mommy is fine. I'm just a little tired. Don't worry, I'll get better soon."

"Are there bad guys bullying you? Tell me, I'll ask Mr. Yan to teach them a lesson."

Wisdom replied angrily.

Mango smiled at him and she said, "Nah, mommy is fine."

"But grandma said you were ill."

"Mommy's illness is a mental issue. No one can help mommy except for myself."

Next, Mango stroked Wisdom's head and she thought of Zion again.

If Zion knew that she was ill and that Rita was like this, would he come back?

Mango felt as if she was in a trance.

She somehow did not believe that Zion had been killed. That brat would never leave her that quickly, wouldn't he?

In the meantime, Wisdom saw the faraway look that Mango had in her eyes and he knew that she was thinking of Zion.

Despite everything, he had really hoped that he could replace Zion. If Zion had successfully run away at that time, maybe mommy and daddy would not be so sad.

Zion was very smart and he was better than Wisdom in every aspect. If he was still here, then everyone would be happy.

Thinking of that, Wisdom became sad again.

"Mommy, I'll definitely find Zion!" He said.

"Good boy." Mango replied.

While Mango and Wisdom were talking, Madam Ye had come in and she was holding a bowl of millet porridge.

Mango's stomach churned in disgust as she smelled the porridge. However, thoughts of Nathaniel and Rita penetrated her mind.

Thus, she fought her disgust as she took the porridge. Then, she said softly, "Mom, please take Wisdom away. I can do it on my own."

"Are you sure?"

Nevertheless, Madam Ye was still worried.

Although she hoped that Mango could defeat her own trauma and rise up to become wholesome, she still felt concerned.

Mango nodded and she said firmly, "Yeah, I can do Mango had her own pride and she did not want her vulnerabilities to be seen by anyone except Nathaniel.

Thus, all her embarrassment and sadness would only be for him to know.

As Madam Ye sensed Mango's defense of her pride, she nodded. Then she said, "Wisdom and I will be right outside the door. Call us if you need us."

"I will."

After that, Madam Ye took Wisdom away. Although Wisdom was unhappy, he did not resist her.

When Mango was alone again in the room, she looked at the bowl of porridge and her stomach began to churn once more.

It seemed that her body had already begun rejecting it even before she started eating.

Nevertheless, she knew that it was her own mind playing tricks on her.

A lot of things had flashed through her mind, especially the memories of her days on the slaver's ship. In fact, it was as if a nightmare that had trapped Mango in its grasp.

Mango shuddered and cowered, she trembled so hard that she almost knocked over the porridge.

But then, her hand brushed past her cell phone.

Nathaniel had recently bought her the phone and displayed on the screen was a photo of two people. It seemed that Nathaniel had taken their photo secretly while she was sleeping. Looking at the gentle eyes of Nathaniel on the phone screen, Mango's heart ached again.

No matter what came to him, he worked so hard to support this broken family. Hence, how could she continue to let him worry about her?

As long as Nathaniel and Rita were here, she was not afraid of anything else, was she?

At that, Mango took a deep breath and she picked up the spoon. Soon, she stuffed a spoonful of porridge into her mouth bravely.

It was still tasteless and disgusting, but Mango tried hard to suppress her nausea. Furthermore, she tried hard to suppress the feeling of nausea and prevented herself from running into the bathroom. Suddenly, her mind recalled the first time she saw Nathaniel. Back then, he was full of youthful vigor and he was very handsome.

Mango smiled.

At the time, Nathaniel was like the sun and he attracted everyone's attention, especially girls. Everywhere he went, their high pitched shouts would follow.
