The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 253

"Can I go over and say a few words to him?"

Abyss’ tone was light and he did not hold much hope for that to happen. To his surprise, the agents nodded their heads and they let him go.

Nathaniel watched Abyss was walking towards him without a single expression on his face.

"Leave my grandmother out of this because it has nothing to do with her."

Abyss' voice was not loud, but he knew that Nathaniel heard it.

Nathaniel looked at him with a sneer before he spoke, "You’re telling me that this has nothing to do with your grandmother? Then did Mango and Rita have anything to do with our problems? Did you ever think of sparing any of them while you schemed away?"

"Nathaniel, you've already won. I've destroyed the Tang family's century- old business myself, what more do you want?”

At this, Abyss started to become angry.

If he had known long ago that Nathaniel was willing to sacrifice everything for revenge, then perhaps he would have hesitated and withdrawn. At least he wouldn’t have lost so badly.

However, Nathaniel sneered and said, "Do you think I’ ve won? Even if you serve up the entire world to me on a silver platter, will that bring Mango back? If you could resurrect her somehow and bring her to me, I won’t even give a sh*t about you, much less your family."

Nathaniel’s voice carried a tinge of sorrow.

Suddenly, Abyss didn't know what to say in response.

If Abyss could turn back time, maybe he would have let go of Mango and he would allow her to pursue her own happiness. At least it would be much better to see her living in happiness than the current situation.

"I'm so sorry."

However, Nathaniel did not accept Abyss' apology.

"Go and confess your guilt to them, not me."

With that, Abyss knew that he’d really pissed Nathaniel off this time. Thus, it was the end of the Tang family and Old Madam Tang...

Abyss sighed and he turned to leave.

As he watched the Internal Affairs Bureau’s car drive away from the Tang family mansion with Abyss in it, Nathaniel’s gaze darkened and no one knew what he was thinking.

Thus, Thomas just waited quietly as he didn't dare to disturb Nathaniel.

Suddenly, Nathaniel felt that his life was meaningless.

He eradicated the Tang family, defeated Abyss, and he even threw Yetta into the ocean. But even after he did all this, he still felt an uncomfortable void in his heart. In the end, his frenzied thoughts contained only Mango.

Nathaniel thought of the twinkle in Mango’s eyes and her smile often, so often that he had started to hallucinate her presence. It was so vivid as he almost felt like he could see her if he just turned around.

However, when Nathaniel turned around, all he saw was an empty seat.

Thomas sensed Nathaniel's loneliness, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

"It’s time to go."

After that, Nathaniel returned to the hospital.

The doctor understood Nathaniel’s situation, so as long as he came back, the doctor would just proceed with treatment without any qualms. If Nathaniel was missing, the doctor would not look for him as that would be a pointless search.

When Dylan saw Nathaniel again, he already knew everything about what Nathaniel did to Abyss. In fact, he was relieved that Nathaniel did not make things difficult for Andrea, but he dared not mention it.

As he saw Dylan's hesitant expression, Nathaniel said in a low voice, "Keep an eye on Andrea and never let me see her ever again. If not, don't blame me if I hurt her."

This was Nathaniel's bottom line.

Dylan quickly nodded and he secretly vowed to himself that he would never let Andrea appear in front of Nathaniel again, even if it meant that she had to be imprisoned for the rest of her life.

After that, Nathaniel felt a little tired and he sent everyone away, including Thomas.

The ward was empty, and the surrounding temperature seemed to be much colder now.

Nathaniel wrapped himself in a blanket as he sat on the bed. The sunlight outside was bright and shining, but he could not feel any warmth from it.

Where on earth was Mango?

Was she lucky enough to have survived this incident as she made it out alive five years ago?

The more Nathaniel thought about it, the more restless he became.

Then, he immediately got up and drove himself to the beach.

To his surprise, someone was already at the beach. Her long hair whipped around in the strong wind and it gave Nathaniel a sense of loneliness.

It was Queena.

Nathaniel did not speak and he only stood next to Queena at the beach, together they looked at the vast and endless ocean. Soon, he suddenly felt a strong impulse to jump into the ocean to join Mango in death.

Queena did not know what to say when she saw that Nathaniel had arrived.

The two of them stood there in silence. However, the freezing ocean wind slowly chilled their hands and feet, and the cold seeped into their hearts.

In the end, Nathaniel still had responsibilities that he needed to fulfill.

He still had his daughter, Rita.

Rita still needed him to donate his kidney to her, if not how could Mango ever be at peace?

Nathaniel turned around and he was about to leave when Queena finally spoke.

"When will you return to the mainland?"

Nathaniel paused momentarily and he said in a low voice, "I'm not sure. Maybe I'll leave tomorrow, or a few days later."

"When you leave, I'll go with you."

Nathaniel was taken aback by Queena's words. "What do you mean?"

"Mango is the daughter of Dennis and me. She was an illegal immigrant when she was alive, and now I feel a responsibility to restore her identity to her after her death. It’s the least I can do."
