The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 552

"Zion!"

Mango was extremely worried as she could no longer hear anything from Zion's end.

Did something happen to Zion?

Mango's heart was racing in anxiety and desperation, and she wanted to go back home right now to check on Zion.

Hence, Mango didn't know what to do and she felt extremely helpless when Zion’s call came in again.

"Mommy."

"Are you okay? Did something go wrong?"

Mango's heart was pounding uncontrollably.

She could no longer bear any additional trauma in this dire situation, and Zion was her closest and dearest family member.

Then, Zion shook his head and said, "No, it’s nothing much, but someone tried to track down my location and they almost succeeded, so I had to cut off the signal."

Mango heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing Zion’s words, but she still asked in worry, "Are you really okay?"

"I'm really fine, mommy, but Uncle Song's signal is probably blocked as I can't seem to find it anymore."

"It's okay since we already know his location, just leave the rest to me and don't take any risks anymore."

Cold sweat beaded up on Mango's forehead.

Then, she suddenly regretted getting Zion involved in this matter.

He was still a child after all, so how could let him take the risk along with her?

Hence, Mango felt that she was very useless.

"Mommy, don't worry as everything is fine here. I can use other methods to hack into the system even though the signal is blocked."

"No! Please don't!"

Mango refused directly.

"Zion, listen to me, you've already helped me a lot, so just leave the rest to me. Really, I can do it by myself."

Zion could discern Mango's anxiety and uneasiness as well as her concern and worry for him.

"Fine, mommy, I promise, but you must let me know if you need my help as something has already happened to Mr. Ye, and I don't want the same thing to happen to you... or else Rita and I will both become orphans..."

Then, Zion suddenly burst into tears as he said those words.

Mango had rarely heard Zion cry and had always thought that this child would never shed tears, but the moment she heard him cry, she felt incredibly heartbroken and devastated.

Gosh, how insecure he was!

She had always thought that Zion didn't have a good relationship with Nathaniel, yet who knew that he saw Nathaniel as the pillar of the family? Now that something unfortunate happened to Nathaniel, Zion felt as if his world had collapsed. His cries revealed his insecurity and perturbation at this moment although he seemed very calm usually.

Meanwhile, Mango's heart throbbed in pain and sorrow.

From the moment Zion was born, she had never provided him a peaceful living environment as they had been relying on the Tang family, although they never had to worry about their daily needs. Now that they had returned to Ocean City by Nathaniel's side in the Ye family, she thought that her children could finally settle down and live a stable life, yet every incident that had occurred until now never gave them a sense of security.

Hence, Mango felt incredibly guilty and kept blaming herself for this.

"Don't cry, my darling, I promise you that I won't let you and Rita become orphans. It's okay, stop crying..."

"Mommy, you must never break your promise, okay?"

Mango' s heart tightened in sorrow as Zion sobbed.

"Okay, I'll keep my word and never bear the stress on my own if I ever need your help. I also promise to try my best and bring dad home no matter what so that I can give you and Rita a complete home."

Mango almost shed tears but she was trying her best to hold it back.

She couldn't cry!

If she did, Zion would feel even more anxious if she started weeping.

"Yes, it's a deal!"

"Deal."

Then, Mango hung up the phone but still couldn't calm herself down for quite a while.

She had to keep the promise she made and get through all the obstacles no matter how difficult things might be. Her only solution now was to visit the Underground City now that Nathaniel and Walter were both missing and Anaya was still with Shaquille Seeyan.

Hence, she believed that everything would proceed in the right direction as long as she could find Nathaniel.

On the other hand, Emberly's racing heart was finally at ease now that she confirmed Mango's identity, so she asked the security guard to investigate Mango's alleged theft.

Coincidentally, a staff member did indeed take something out of Mango's room when she came in to clean the suite.

Hence, Emberly brought her to Mango.

"Miss Gerner, this staff member indeed stole your belongings but she kept denying that it was your purse. How would you like to punish her?"
