The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 320

Nathaniel turned and left, but Nick did not stop him this time.

More often than not, their supposed kindness and filial piety ended up backfiring on them instead.

If they had been indifferent towards their connection to Nanny Zhang from the start, would all of this have happened?

When Nathaniel left the ward, Thomas had a grim expression on his face while Charlotte glared at Nathaniel with hostility in her eyes.

"Is it possible for you to not endanger Mango's life for one day? If you can't provide her with a stable life, then just let go of her. I don't care how deep your feelings are for her, but think about it. Has she ever known peace ever since the day she got together with you? Honestly, she's suffered through unimaginable pain. I don't care what you've done or what you've sacrificed for her, but what I do know is that she's risking her life every day to be together with you. If this is the only life that you can give her, then please just let her go."

This time, Charlotte wasn't chastising Nathaniel out of anger, instead, her voice carried a hint of sadness.

For the first time, Nathaniel couldn't say a single word to Charlotte.

Meanwhile, Thomas was a little hesitant, but he still pulled Charlotte behind him before he muttered, "Mr.

Ye, where are you going? Your body...¹'

"I'm going to see Nanny Zhang. Where is she now?"

There was a stern edge to Nathaniel's voice as he spoke.

Then, Thomas shook his head and said, "Merle would know. I didn't participate in this, so..."

"Got it. Keep watch over here, and give me a call once Mango is discharged."

"Will do!"

As soon as Thomas finished speaking, Nathaniel walked away. However, he suddenly spoke just as he passed by Charlotte.

"I can't promise that there won't be any more danger down the road, but I will do my best to eliminate every single one of them. I hope that you can give me another chance to prove myself."

After that, Nathaniel walked away from them.

On the other hand, Charlotte was astonished.

What did Nathaniel say just now?

He wanted her to give him another chance?

Since when did the high and mighty Mr. Ye deign to ask a humble citizen like her for another chance?

Charlotte looked at Nathaniel's retreating figure with a puzzled look on her face, only to notice that his shoulders were slumped.

It seemed that Mango's incident had dealt a huge blow to Nathaniel and he was crestfallen.

Then, Charlotte suddenly felt a lump form in her throat.

She quickly turned her head away and did not speak.

When Thomas saw this, he whispered, "I think you may have been overly biased in your opinion of Mr. Ye."

"Perhaps."

Charlotte did not say anything else as she walked towards the operating theater.

"Miss Blu, although the doctor cleared you, he did say that you needed rest. So now..."

"Do you think I can rest when Mango's life is hanging on the balance? She's so stupid. Doesn't she know the extent of her own abilities? Even so, she still used herself as a lure to confront Nanny Zhang. Who does she think she is? Wonder Woman?"

The more Charlotte spoke, the angrier she became and a layer of tears started to cloud her vision.

"Hey, I'm sure that Mrs. Ye knows what she's doing."

Thomas didn't know what else to say, so he had to comfort Charlotte like this.

Next, Charlotte replied in a low voice, "Does Zion know?"

"No, he doesn't. Master Zion is currently with Mrs. Ye's parents, and Miss Rita has been relocated elsewhere by Mr. Ye. Hence, I don't think the children would be affected."

Thomas had initially wanted to keep this from Charlotte, but he had no choice but to tell her since Charlotte was Mango's best friend and he could see how much she cared so much for Mango.

After that, Charlotte stood guard silently outside the operating theater.

When Nathaniel exited the hospital, he immediately saw Merle standing outside.

Then, Merle was punched in the face by Nathaniel before he could say anything. The next moment, Nathaniel had grabbed him by the collar.

"You'd better pray that nothing happens to Mango. If something goes wrong, I'll fire you on the spot."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ye."

Merle did not retaliate at all after Nathaniel had hit him.

Merle didn't know how to face Nathaniel out of the respect and guilt he felt for Mango.

Then, Nathaniel pushed him aside and said, "Wouldn't it be perfect if apologies could fix everything? Yes, Mango is your commander and it's not wrong to obey her, but she just took over the Dark Night Empire. Don't you know how to stop her when she makes such a risky plan?"

"I'm sorry."

It was fruitless to say anything else now.

Hence, Merle kept his head down and he could only continue to apologize.

Initially, he'd assumed that the plan was perfect and didn't expect Nanny Zhang to hurt Mango so badly. However, no one expected Mango to be pregnant.

If he'd known about this before, he would have never let Mango risk her life even if a gun was pressed against his head.

Conversely, Nathaniel was furious when he saw Merle like this and he asked irritatedly, "Where is Nanny Zhang?"

"She's in the hospital's basement. As of now, the police haven't been involved because we still have plenty of things to interrogate her about, so..."
