The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 335

"What's wrong?"

Mango's chest suddenly tightened.

Earlier that morning, Nathaniel had gone out to run some errands and he had not returned yet. Did something happen to him?

Mango became extremely anxious as soon as she thought of this possibility.

Then, she stood up and walked towards Thomas.

However, Thomas looked at Mango and then at Sisi. He whispered, "It's not Mr. Ye, it's..."

"Who is it?"

Mango breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that it wasn't Nathaniel. However, it must've been someone else in the villa if Thomas was this anxious.

Thomas glanced at Sisi once more before he said, "It's Newell."

With a clatter, the keys in Sisi's hand fell to the floor.

"What happened to him?"

Sisi's voice was trembling.

Meanwhile, Mango's brows were slightly furrowed.

Sisi and Newell had just started living a carefree and happy life, so why did something bad happen now?

"What the hell happened?"

Then, Mango held Sisi's shoulders to stop her from falling over.

Thomas replied softly, "After Newell dropped Mr. Ye off at the HY Group, he told Mr. Ye that he was going to get some of the crab buns from the store on the other side of the city for Sisi. Since Mr. Ye didn't have anything urgent going on, he let Newell leave. Soon after, the former Chief of the Transport Office called Mr. Ye and told him that Newell had been hit by a truck. Thus, he's currently undergoing emergency surgery in the hospital, but no one knows for sure how he's doing. Mr. Ye asked me to come and inform you to take Sisi there, in case..."

Thomas didn't say anything else, but Sisi had become as white as a sheet.

"Why did he have to go and get the buns? It's not like I'd die if I didn't eat them. Why did he do that?!"

Sisi's tears flowed freely as she spoke.

On the other hand, Thomas was quite upset as well.

Newell had worked together with Thomas during this period of time, and he'd been a very diligent worker. Furthermore, he really wanted to give Sisi a good life, but no one could imagine that something like this would happen.

"Sisi, now's not the time to be sad. Go and sort yourself out before we go visit Newell."

"I'm coming to visit him too."

Of course Mango wasn't going to just sit at home while they went to the hospital.

"Mrs. Ye, Mr. Ye said that you still have a few days left before your confinement period is up, so it's best if you..."

"Is now really the time to say such a thing? Get the car ready, Sisi and I will be right there."

Mango cut Thomas off immediately before she turned and walked away.

Since Mango seemed determined to go, Thomas had no choice but to go and get the car. Meanwhile, Sisi was changing her clothes in a panicked frenzy, thus she ended up putting them on the wrong way multiple times.

"Relax, Sisi. The most important thing now is for you to stay calm. I know that you're worried about Newell, but you can't handle this properly if you're in a panicked state. Newell needs you right now, so you need to calm down okay?"

Mango grabbed Sisi's shoulders tightly and forced Sisi to look into her eyes.

Upon making eye contact, Sisi immediately broke down and said, "I'm afraid, Mrs. Ye! I'm so scared! If there's a chance that Newell doesn't make it, what am I going to do? He just told me that he wanted to marry me, and we've even set a date already! My greatest wish in life is to be his bride, you know?"

"That will definitely come true. I know that Newell wants to give you a perfect wedding, so you mustn't give up. Think positive, okay?"

To be honest, Mango felt incredibly upset.

Sisi and Newell were perfect for each other, and they were even about to be married. Why did this accident have to happen now?

After that, the two of them arrived at the hospital very quickly and Nathaniel came to meet them as soon as he knew about their arrival. Then, he immediately placed his coat over Mango's shoulders as she was only wearing a thin layer of clothing.

"Why did you come out here on such a cold day?"

There was a chastising tone in Nathaniel's voice.

Then, Mango replied softly, "I came here with Sisi to check on Newell."

Nathaniel didn't say anything else after she said that, but he asked Mango to sit on a chair inside while he and Sisi waited outside.

It didn't take long for Newell's surgery to be completed, and Sisi seemed very nervous when the doctor stepped out of the operating theater.

"Doctor, how is he doing?"

"Not well, I'm afraid. Let's see if he can get through the night. If not, there's a high possibility that he would end up brain-dead."

The doctor's words made Sisi collapsed on the chair.

"He'll be alright. Sisi, you have to be strong. I'm sure Newell will keep fighting because he loves you very much."

Mango couldn't help but feel sad when she saw Sisi like this.

Although Sisi was upset, she was still concerned about Mango's body. Then, she said, "Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye, I think I can manage here on my own. You guys can head back first." "I'll send someone over to help you care for Newell." Nathaniel knew that Mango wouldn't be at ease if this matter wasn't handled properly, so he took it upon himself to make that suggestion.

After the dust had settled, Mango was rather dispirited. However, there was a hint of hesitance in her voice when she remembered that Madam Hans was in this hospital as well, "Do you think I should go and visit Madam Hans?"

Nathaniel knew how bored Mango had become over the past month, and he had been preoccupied with making the arrangements for their extended vacation. Hence, he hurriedly nodded at Mango's suggestion.
