The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 459

"Mrs. Ye!"

The nurse was so frightened that her face paled and she hurried forward to help Mango up.

Mango was afraid that Nathaniel would hang up because she was too slow to answer, so she quickly stood up with the nurse's help before saying, "I'm going to the bathroom."

"I'll accompany you."

"No, don't come in and don't speak."

As soon as Mango finished speaking, she rushed to the bathroom.

Thus, Mango was a little winded when she answered the call.

"What's wrong?"

Nathaniel hadn't seen his wife for five days. When he saw Mango's face, he suddenly missed her even more.

"Nothing. I'm in the bathroom."

Mango tried her best to steady her voice, but her palms were soaked with sweat and her knees radiated pain.

It seemed like the fall she took earlier was quite hard.

On the other hand, Nathaniel noticed that Mango had lost weight and her eyes seemed sunken in. Hence, he couldn't help but ask, "Did you eat properly after I left? Why do I feel like you've gotten thinner?"

"Yeah, you didn't call me again after you left, nor could we reach your phone. Without news from you, I was worried until I lost weight."

Nathaniel was a little confused by Mango's words.

"You called me?"

"Yeah, I did, why?"

Mango felt that Nathaniel's question was strange, but she still answered him anyway.

Nathaniel didn't say anything except smile. Then, he said, "Perhaps I missed it. I've been too busy to look at my phone recently."

"You..."

At first, Mango wanted to ask what he was doing, but she changed it at the last moment.

"When are you coming back?"

"Three more days. I'll be back in three days."

Nathaniel's words caused Mango to nod slightly.

"You've lost weight as well."

"Eh, I'm not really used to the food here. I miss your cooking."

"I'll cook for you when you come home."

Mango gave Nathaniel a soft and tolerant smile.

"All right."

Nathaniel felt that Mango was very beautiful now, and her beauty took his breath away. If only he could be by her side now.

"Oh hey, that isn't the bathroom inside our house. Did you go out?"

"Yup, I went out for a walk."

Mango nodded in reply.

"Has anything interesting happened recently?"

"I'm fine. Everything is fine."

Mango did not tell him about her current situation.

Although he didn't say anything, Mango spotted the dark circles underneath Nathaniel's eyes and his noticeably sharper jaw.

What was he doing out there?

How could he have lost so much weight?

Was he suffering from the same illness that

afflicted Mango?

Or did something happen that Nathaniel was unable to solve?

These were the questions that lingered in Mango's mind.

She wanted to know more, but suddenly the urge disappeared when she saw how calm and loving Nathaniel was when he talked to her.

The most important thing between husband and wife was trust.

Since Nathaniel didn't tell her, there must be a good reason for that. As long as he had her and their family in his heart, there was nothing they couldn't discuss.

Now that Nathaniel was somewhere else, there was no point in talking too much about something that was out of her control. It would only make each other more worried.

Didn't he just say?

He said that he'd be back in three days!

Three days weren't a big deal!

"When you come back, I'll go pick you up."

Mango smiled faintly, and that made Nathaniel miss home dearly.

"Okay, I'll let you know what time's the flight later."

"Okay!"

"Mango."

"Hm?"

"I miss you."

Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango suddenly felt a lump in her throat.

All the negative experiences over the last few days suddenly resurfaced, and she couldn't help but tear up.

Wouldn't it be great if she could lean back and relax in Nathaniel's arms?

However, she forcefully stopped herself from talking about it.

Mango believed that Nathaniel wasn't that cruel, and she knew that he must have faced his problems to cut off all contact with everyone after he left Ocean City.

Mango didn't want to make things difficult for Nathaniel, so she could only swallow the pain for the time being.

"I miss you too."

All the yearning, desire, and love were packed into a few simple words, and it made Nathaniel want to cry.
