The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 705

"How's Nathan?"

Mango followed them quickly. Knowing that she was worried, Genevieve asked immediately.

Maxton took off his mask and looked at Mango and Genevieve. He then said in a low voice, "I don't consider it successful though."

"What do you mean?"

Mango's entire body was frozen as if she has fallen into an iceberg.

Genevieve did not look good either.

Maxton sighed and said, "The blood clot in his brain has been cleaned up, but there's no way I can treat his neuralgia."

"What did you mean? Aren't you an expert in this field, Maxton?"

Genevieve asked instantly.

Maxton said in a somewhat embarrassed voice, "Before this, I used to think that I was an expert in this field, but I learned from Nathaniel's case that I am overestimating myself. If it was merely general neuralgia, I'm sure that I can do it very well but his case is different. When we were about to perform the surgery on him, his nerves produced a

state of self-protection. In other words, he might become bedridden for the rest of his life if we insist to perform the surgery, or he would be brain dead. I cannot bear the risk. We need to dispel the hypnosis on him first, as it has a kind of resistance to him in his mind. This instinctive reaction makes us unable to do anything."

Upon hearing Maxton's words, Mango felt as if she was on the verge of prostration.

She had always thought that Nathaniel could stand up after this operation, but the reality turned the other way round.

Genevieve knew Mango's feelings for Nathaniel more than anyone else. She looked anxiously at Mango and asked Maxton, "Are there any methods apart from dispelling hypnosis? You've seen so far that Nathaniel is unconscious right now. It doesn't sound practical for him to engage with hypnosis."

"He was unconscious previously due to the brain bleed. Normally, he should have a short period of clarity since we've removed the blood clot. Therefore, all you have to do is to find the person who can dispel the hypnosis as soon as possible. This is our only chance."

"I'll go look right away!"

Mango quickly gestured as she spoke.

She recalled that Bettany had told her the address of the master hypnotist. She remembered it vividly up till now.

"That's great, but you have to be quick."

Maxton's words made Mango nod her head immediately.

After she beseeched Genevieve to look after Nathaniel, she booked the fastest flight back to Ocean City.

Mango's mood was beyond description when she returned to Ocean City once again.

She had developed both a love and hate towards this place, but her fear for this place was defeated by Nathaniel's illness in the end.

Mango arrived at the door of the master hypnotist house according to her memory.

A beautiful woman walked out when she pressed the doorbell. She had an unfriendly stare once she saw Mango.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Hello, I'm looking for Dr. Yasser Song. Is he around?"

Mango was glad that she still remembered the doctor's name.

The woman frowned slightly and replied coldly, "He's not here." "Where did he go?" "Hey, what is a mute like you gesturing in front of me for? I only know some simple sign language, and I can't understand yours. Yasser went abroad to attend an academic conference and it's been a week since he left. You should look for him again when he comes back in a month."

After finishing her words, the woman closed the door in front of Mango.

Mango was a little anxious.

A month's time?

What should she do now?

If Nathaniel woke up now, how would she deal with it?

Mango was worried, and she pressed the bell again. However, no one opened the door for her.

Out of desperation, she could only see Noah.

When Noah heard that Mango was looking for Yasser, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Mango, there's something I need to tell you. You'd better be mentally prepared."

"What's the matter?"

Mango had a strong sense of unease.

Noah knew that his news was definitely a big blow to Mango, but he was also afraid of delaying Nathaniel's treatment. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yasser is no longer around."

"What do you mean?"

Mango was bewildered by the news.

Noah knew that he had to finish his words once he started the topic.

He took a deep breath and said, "He's dead. Yasser encountered a plane crash when he left Ocean City some time ago. We mourned the loss of a hypnotist in our profession. His body is in the hospital's morgue now."

"Well, his family just mentioned that he went to participate in a seminar."

The news was like a bolt from the blue to Mango.

"That's not his family member. It's his tenant. Yasser is a single fellow with no child. He's never been married."

Upon hearing Noah's words, Mango wished that she could give the woman a good punch.

She had encountered a lot of incidents that made her strong. Otherwise, she would probably faint if she heard the news of Dr. Song's death. However, it was not the time for her to faint but to think of another plan.

What could she do now?

When Noah found that Mango wasn't too agitated, he asked, "Are you alright?"

Mango shook her head.

She made a gesture and said, "Yasser is already dead. I reckon that there is only one person who can dispel the hypnosis on Nathan."

"Who is that?"

"Bettany."

In the beginning, it was Bettany who told Mango about Yasser. However, since Yasser had met a mishap, the only person she could look for was her.

Just the thought of Bettany reminded Mango about their previous conversation.

However, she had no choice.

Both Novalee and Nathaniel were in need of help from Bettany.
