The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 575

Nathaniel's face took on a ghastly expression. If it was really that Fang Family, then it would be quite troublesome indeed.

What did Abyss have to do with the Fang family? Why did he make Mango have a similar face to the daughter of the Fang family?

He had no idea, nor did he have time to investigate it. Therefore, he could only leave the problem behind for now.

Meanwhile, Desmond already went to look for Wisdom, while Anaya came to sit beside Nathaniel.

Nathaniel was extremely concerned about Mango, and he was a bundle of nerves. Then he took a glance at Anaya when she walked over.

Anaya took out a pen and paper and wrote down, "I'm sorry. It was me who interrupted the timing when she could've gone to save you guys. I'm the one who made her teach Emberly Wang a lesson at the Equatorial Hotel before telling her about your whereabouts. It's all my fault."

"Emberly? What did she do to you?"

Nathaniel knew that a kind girl like Anaya wouldn't have done it on purpose. He believed that it was probably because Emberly had gone too far that caused her to act in such a way. Despite that, he still wanted to know what exactly happened.

Anaya told him the truth, which was that she had almost died in Emberly's hands. She also told him how Mango had saved her from danger. Hearing her words, he realised that she was feeling guilty and conflicted.

She looked in the direction of the operating room and wrote, "If anything happens to her, I will make up for it with my life."

"She'll be fine. Don't think too much. Why don't you go back and have a rest?"

Nathaniel knew that Anaya was blaming herself for this, so he didn't want to reproach her anymore.

Anaya wanted to say something more, but she eventually changed her mind before she left immediately.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was left alone in the corridor, and he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

As he looked toward the operating room, memories from the last five years where Mango had been by his side suddenly emerged. The feeling of fear and worry once again surfaced in his mind.

Yama Hades could definitely save Mango!

She was going to succeed, right?

Nathaniel was eagerly trying to remain composed and he calmed himself down.

The operation had been going on for approximately 4 hours, and Nathaniel had been waiting outside anxiously. He had not been eating or drinking during that period.

Soon, Desmond returned and he brought Wisdom back with him.

Once Wisdom saw Nathaniel, he immediately cried out, "Uncle, I'm sorry, it's all my dad's fault. I'm here to repay for his wrongdoings, so let me be that woman's apprentice. Besides, I really want to learn about medicine from her because I'm not interested in doing business at all. My father will certainly force me to go into business when I return home, and I don't want to. Uncle, I don't want to see you and my father turn against each other. Just let me stay here, I beg of you."

On the other hand, Nathaniel was extremely upset by his words.

He'd watched Wisdom grow up under his care. However, now he no longer had a cheerful smile on his face. Instead, he had become so depressed.

Nathaniel sat Wisdom on his lap and asked in a low voice, "Do you know what it means to leave home for ten years? You will lose your freedom, and you will no longer have someone to serve you like how you did at home. What's more, you even have to cater to Yama Hades' every whim instead. Have you really thought about it?"

"I've thought about it. Mommy said that the only way to learn is by personally experiencing hardship so that I can rise above the ordinary. I've been under your protection for so long, so it's time for me to be independent."

Hearing this, Nathaniel felt even more sorry for him.

Wisdom had already experienced the pain of losing his mother at a young age. Now, he was forced to go through a strict transformation because of his father. Furthermore, Wisdom had personally witnessed everything that Nick had done to Zion and Mango. To be honest, Nathaniel was really afraid that a young child like him could not handle it.

Now that he decided that he wanted to leave home and out of Nick's sight, it must be because he couldn't take it any longer, right?

That was fair. It was too much for a four-year-old child to endure.

Nathaniel looked at Wisdom and he had no idea how to decide.

"Are you sure? Wisdom, if you agree, you won't be able to come back for ten years."

"I've made up my mind. I want to study medicine."

Wisdom looked at Nathaniel and answered with certainty.

Nathaniel did not know whether he should let Wisdom stay. However, he had to compromise since Wisdom insisted on it.

"I will send someone to protect you, and they will not disturb you, nor will they interfere with your studies. If anything goes wrong, I will definitely bring you home. If you regret your decision and want to go home, I will come and pick you up."

"Thank you, uncle."

Wisdom nodded.

Nathaniel realized that it had been a long time since he saw Wisdom's smile. Wisdom used to be a carefree, down-to-earth, and sometimes timid child when Macy was still alive. Nevertheless, Wisdom used to have a joyful childhood and a happy life.

Although Wisdom had been somewhat depressed after Macy's death, he was still cheerful when he was with Zion.

However, Wisdom seemed to have changed drastically since Nick came back.

He stopped smiling as much as he distanced himself from them. Furthermore, he started hiding his true feelings and emotions.

Wisdom seemed to have suddenly grown up and become more mature. However, he was silent and depressed, which made Nathaniel feel sorry for him.

Then, Nathaniel hugged him tightly and whispered, "Remember, no matter what happens, you will always be my beloved son."

Upon hearing this, tears immediately welled up in Wisdom's eyes.

"Daddy!"

He hugged Nathaniel tightly and burst into tears.

In the end, he collapsed in Nathaniel's arms and fell asleep.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was heartbroken upon looking at the tear streaks on Wisdom's cheeks.

He hugged him tightly and refused to let go. Then, he waited for Mango as Wisdom slept by his side.

Finally, Mango was wheeled out of the operating room after a long wait.

Yama Hades looked a little pale, and it seemed like she was worn out from the surgery.
