The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 20

Mango's mind is back in the fire, five years ago. She was completely drowned in the fire, and those desperate cries for help.

"No! Help! Help me!"

She was sweating all over and waving her hands like a helpless child.

Rainie quickly grabbed her hand and said with distress, "It's okay. Mango, it's okay. I'm here with you. Right here. Don't be afraid."

Rainie didn't know the detail, about what Mango experienced for the past five years, yet everyone in the whole Ocean City knew about the big fire five years ago. No one could wake up from such a nightmare.

It was said that the fire burned everything, and the flames burned for several hours.

"Ouch! It hurts! Help me! I'm going to die of pain!"

Mango grabbed Rainie's hand recklessly, as if she had caught a life buoy. She used all her strength on her hands. Her nails seeped into Rainie's skin. The scratching hurt, but it couldn't distract Rainie's focus on her confusions.

"What on earth have you experienced? Why did you go getting tattoos? Mango, you have too many secrets to deal with alone. How can I help you?"

Rainie's eyes were wet.

Rainie wanted to bring justice to Mango, but who should she turn to?

It could only be Nathaniel Ye!

The Crown Prince and invisible owner of Ocean City.

His casual stamp could tremble the whole City. What could she do?

The only thing Rainie could offer for Mango was to provide her a place to live and help her with some trivial things as much as possible.

Rainie could feel this time, that Mango had came back with a plan, and might even have some important business. But Mango intended to keep her true purpose to herself, plus Rainie wasn't nosy. Now seeing Mango's painful look, Rainie regretted for not asking.

It took Mango a long time to calm down, but the tears at the corners of her eyes never stopped. For a while she was whispering "why", for the next moment she would be shouting Zion and Rita's name.

Night became dawn, as time passed quitely.

When the morning sun came in through the window, Mango woke up slowly.

She looked at the white ceiling and the white bed. It took her a while to realize where she was.

Mango moved her arm and woke up Rainie instantly.

"You are awake! How do you feel? Let me get the doc."
