The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 195

The doctors of the hospital were all busy rescuing Rita. Thus, Madam Ye was sidelined in favor of Rita and at this moment, Dylan arrived with another doctor.

"How is she?"

"You're right on time!"

Nathaniel quickly told him about Madam Ye's situation.

Then, the doctor who had examined Madam Ye's body was quickly summoned.

When the doctor saw Dylan, he spoke in a respectful tone, "Madam Ye's medical report has been released. Unfortunately, the toxins in her body have been accumulated over the years. Even though it's been a long time since she has taken the medicine, she still has underlying health problems. Her fainting could be from overexertion and a weakened immune system that trigger a hidden condition. Anyway, we'll try our best to save her."

"Oh, please, doctor."

Nathaniel was already spread thin, and he did not know how much more he could take in order to take care of so many issues that happened.

Then, the doctor had led the medical team into the operating room and they began to work on rescuing Madam Ye.

After that, Dylan held Nathaniel's shoulder and he whispered, "I know you're not in the mood now, but it's useless to stay here. You're not a doctor, and you can't control everything. Let's go to the rooftop and we'll have a smoke."

It was true that Nathaniel had been under a lot of pressure these days. After listening to what Dylan said, he had Thomas stand guard while he went to the rooftop with Dylan.

The wind on the rooftop deck was rather strong, but Nathaniel did not seem to be able to feel it.

For nearly three decades of his life so far, Nathaniel had no worries and he could have whatever he wanted. However, but ever since Mango had an accident with his child five years ago, his life had changed drastically.

Now, Nathaniel could do nothing but react passively to the situation.

Soon, Dylan lit a cigarette and he handed it over to him.

Then, Nathaniel took it without hesitation. He inhaled so hard that he choked on the smoke which caused him to cough.

"What's wrong? Don't tell me you've quit smoking after not seeing you for a few years?"

"No, I haven't."

Nathaniel took another deep drag after he finished coughing.

The taste of nicotine somewhat eased his heart.

Next, he blew out a smoke ring as if he was blowing out all his depression. Dylan lit a cigarette for himself and he leaned against a corner of the roof. Looking at the sky, he said lowly, "Abyss has taken action."

"Really? Here I was thinking that he wouldn't do anything."

At that, Nathaniel sneered. His smile was as sinister as the grim reaper.

Before this, he was at least still be grateful to Abyss. Now, he wanted nothing more than to tear Abyss into pieces.

That hypocrite b*stard!

It was unforgivable that he dared to do such a cruel thing to Rita!

Of course, Dylan knew about what happened to Rita. Then, he patted Nathaniel on the shoulder and he said, "After he found out you rescued Mango from the Tang mansion, Abyss came back and he punished all of the servants."

"Did he have them killed?"

Nathaniel asked coldly.

Dylan shook his head and he said, "He doesn't have the balls to do that, but he sold everyone to the Fallen Paradise."

"What?"

Nathaniel was a little surprised.

Dylan smiled and he said, "Are you surprised? So was I. He's only dealt with fallen Paradise once and he can actually contact the people there. Nathaniel, I have a feeling that there might be members of your family behind the scenes of the Fallen Paradise."

"Huh? That's impossible!"

Nathaniel refuted that statement without a second thought.

"My family is small, and my father was the only one during his generation. Now, I've taken control of everything after Nick passed away. There is no one else that will ever interrupt in our affair."

"It's just a hunch. Plus, I have looked into Zion's case. I don't think it's possible that he could be taken away quietly from Ocean City without you knowing. Don't you think it's suspicious? Even with the combined efforts of the Hans and Song families in addition to yours, there isn't a single trace of Zion. Besides, Mango's disappearance shocked and stimulated Abyss, but why would he work with the Fallen Paradise? I used to think that it might've been a coincidence that he bought Mango, but now I have a feeling that it was planned instead."

Dylan's words made Nathaniel's eyes narrow.

"Are you saying that Abyss joined forces with the people of Ocean City and purposely bought Mango?"

"I don't have any evidence, so I'm just speculating. I'm not sure how true it is because it's really confusing. Abyss's background is very complicated. Not only is he the heir of the Tang family, but he seems to have a lot of connections. Even my father has asked me not to provoke Abyss these days. He knows that I'm helping you, and he's been trying to pressure me to stop doing so."

Hearing what Dylan said, Nathaniel frowned again. "Abyss can actually cause your father to put pressure on you?"

"It's very surprising, isn't it? I'm surprised too. I used to think that he is just an ordinary businessman, and his family business has done well in the United States. Now it seems like it's not the case."

"Yeah, how can a family move out of their home country and establish themselves on foreign soil if they don't have strong background support to do so?

Suddenly, a clue seemed to flash past Nathaniel's mind, but it went away before he could fully grasp it.

As the two of them smoked, their hearts were heavy.

It was as if everything was covered in a thick fog and it obscured their vision. Thus, if they didn't figure it out, they would no longer have a place in the United States, let alone back home.

It would have been fine if it was just Nathaniel, but now Mango, Madam Ye as well as Rita were counting on him to protect them. Thus, this was something that he needed to sort out clearly.

"I think it's time for me to strike out at the Tang family."

Nathaniel finished smoking and he spoke suddenly. "What?"

Dylan was somewhat astonished.
