The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 248

Although Nathaniel was carrying an oxygen tank, it was not an easy feat for him to dive to the bottom of the ocean.

His body began to strain, and the buoyancy of the water was too much for him to bear. Nevertheless, Nathaniel persisted and he was unwilling to give up.

"How is Mango doing now?"

Nathaniel refused to believe that Mango would commit suicide, so the only logical explanation was that someone had planned on killing Mango. Furthermore, Nathaniel was sure that Mango had no idea what was happening at the time.

Nathaniel did not know who this person was, but he knew that it was definitely not Abyss.

Abyss' goal was to steal Mango from him, so Abyss would not let her die.

The buoyant force of the seawater made it hard for Nathaniel to keep his eyes open, but he still persevered.

At the same time, his skin hurt as if it was pricked by needles. His injured arm was numb and he couldn’t feel much of it, but Nathaniel still dived down.

Then, he seemed to see the outline of a car.

Air bubbles emanated from the white roof of the car. Was Mango inside?

Nathaniel really wanted to swim over to take a look, but he really could not hold on any longer.

Nevertheless, Nathaniel steadied his movements and he tried his best to keep breathing.

Both rescue and salvage teams around him did not want to risk their lives to dive so deep into the ocean. But after seeing Nathaniel was seemingly frozen, they only wanted to pull him up first.

Nevertheless, Nathaniel noticed their intentions and he aggressively swung a few punches at them. At that moment, his desperate expression frightened everyone around him.

Finally, they began to retreat.

Nathaniel could not be bothered at all.

He took another deep breath before he mustered up all his strength and he swam down.

Finally, Nathaniel grasped the door handle of the car.

At that, Nathaniel was absolutely elated.

He pulled at the door hard, but he found that it would not budge. In the end, he could only try to ram it open with his arms. When that didn’t work, he rammed into the car repeatedly with his body.

The powerful impact caused his arm to bleed again but Nathaniel did not seem to have noticed. Instead, he resumed frantically ramming himself against the car.

Finally, the window of the car loosened.

Then, Nathaniel shattered the window with a well- placed kick.

He quickly opened the car door.

After he opened the door, Nathaniel realized that the other door had been opened previously and Mango was not inside the car. However, Mango's coat was left behind.

It seemed that the coat was almost completely soaked with blood.

At that moment, Nathaniel only felt as though his head was about to implode.

Did Mango get injured?

Where did she go?

Did she manage to escape?

But where could a frail woman like her escape to in this vast ocean?

Nathaniel hurriedly gathered Mango's coat into his arms. Furthermore, he wanted to keep searching for Mango but his body had finally succumbed to the stress and he fainted.

When Dylan arrived, he saw Nathaniel was floating inside the car and he was completely unconscious.

Furthermore, Dylan saw no sign of Mango and there were only a few strands of long hair by the car window.

After Dylan had collected everything, he pulled Nathaniel out of the ocean with him.

As soon as Nathaniel came ashore, he had a high fever.

The wound on his arm was seriously infected, and there were many grazes and scrapes on his body.

Abyss' face fell when he saw Nathaniel’s current state.

"Where's Mango? Where is she?"

Right now, Dylan couldn’t wait to punch Abyss into the freezing ocean.

"You'd better pray that Mango is fine. Otherwise, Nathaniel won’t be the only one wanting to send you to hell!"

Then, Dylan quickly contacted a hospital nearby so they could render aid to Nathaniel.

Meanwhile, when Queena saw Nathaniel and Dylan return, she felt uneasy.

"Wasn’t Mango down there?"

Dylan shook his head as he looked at Queena. “I reckon that she might have escaped. But it's so cold down there. The chances of survival for a frail woman like her are slim."

Indeed, Dylan just told the truth.

The temperature of the seawater could freeze a healthy man in minutes, let alone Mango when she first fell in.

The others might not know this, but Abyss knew.

He knew Mango's situation at the time.

Then, he couldn't help but speak.

"Mango was sedated at the time and she was unconscious. How is it possible for her to escape?"

"What did you just say?"

Dylan did not expect that Mango would have fallen into the ocean unconscious. Hence, he felt like he wanted to skin Abyss alive.

On the other hand, Queena’s body staggered and she collapsed to the floor in a heap.

"Sedated? Andrea did that! She sedated Mango earlier!"

Dylan’s body froze as he processed Queena's words in his mind. Soon, his expression was ghastly.

Initially, he had wanted to vouch for Andrea, but in the end, he did not say a word.

Then, Nathaniel had quickly whisked away for treatment. However, Dylan had the rescue team continued searching for Mango, and Abyss did so as well.

But as time went by, there was no sign of Mango at all.
