The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 708

"Hey, are you alright?"

Mango made a gesture anxiously as she asked.

Nanny Zhang coughed for a long time before she stopped.

She looked at the bloodstains on her palm and said with a wry smile, "Don't you think that I deserve it? Don't you have something to say upon seeing my current look?"

"What's wrong with you?"

Mango didn't add insult to injury. She asked directly without any other nonsense.

Nanny Zhang seemed slightly surprised.

Mango looked at her and gestured, "I'm asking for Nathan's sake."

Nanny Zhang was stunned for a moment. She did not speak but lowered her head and seemed to be thinking of something.

Mango was quite anxious actually but she couldn't rush her. It meant that she was nervous, and then she would lose.

It was a competition about keeping one's equanimity.

Nanny Zhang lowered her head as if she had fallen asleep. Though Mango was anxious, she was resting with her eyes closed also. She was extremely tired recently, especially when she flew from Ocean City to the Fang family home and then returned again. Her body couldn't stand the back and forth of the journey.

Before she knew it, Mango had fallen asleep.

Nanny Zhang listened to Mango's even breathing and saw her tired look. Her eyes flashed few times before she finally told the guard beside her, "I want to go back now. If they want me to save people, ask them to get some herbs and bring them to me."

The guard took Nanny Zhang away, but he didn't disturb Mango either.

Mango had not slept for long. When she woke up from her nap, she realized that Nanny Zhang was nowhere to be seen.

She could not help scolding herself for falling asleep.

Mango wanted to ask about Nanny Zhang's condition anxiously. The guard had already taken the lead in relaying Nanny Zhang's message to her and gave her a note with the names of some herbs written on it.

Seeing this, Mango didn't hesitate to take the note and returned to Noah's side.

Meanwhile, Maxton was still guarding Nathaniel. It had to be said that Nathaniel's blood pressure had been maintained at the best condition due to the help of Maxton. Everyone knew that this situation would not last long.

"How is it going?"

Both Noah and Genevieve were equally worried.

Mango handed the note to Noah. She gestured and said, "This is a list of herbs provided by Nanny Zhang. We were asked to get them for her."

"That's not right! This is not the prescription for treating hypnosis and neuralgia."

Noah's words immediately made Mango nervous.

"What do you mean? Is Nanny Zhang fooling me?"

In fact, everyone had already thought about this result beforehand. However, Mango still couldn't take it.

Seeing that Mango was about to explode, Noah quickly said, "Take it easy. This is not the prescription for treating neuralgia but it should have some effect on you."

"What do you mean?"

Mango was getting confused.

Maxton looked at the medical prescription and said, "It cures the damage of the vocal cords and

throat."

"What?"

Mango was completely stunned.

Genevieve couldn't believe it as well.

"Are you sure? Is there any hidden risk in this prescription? I don't believe that Nanny Zhang is so kind-hearted that she would take the initiative to treat Mango's throat."

Upon hearing Genevieve's words, Mango was stunned.

"Do you mean that this prescription is for me?"

"Well, I think so."

Noah's words caused Mango to be taken aback once again.

Nobody knew about Nanny Zhang's intentions but there was still a glimmer of hope.

Noah searched for the medicinal herbs according to the prescription given. Without taking Nathaniel, he went to prison straightaway with Mango. However, just like previous times, Nanny Zhang met only with Mango.

The moment Mango met Nanny Zhang again, she immediately gestured and asked, "What is your prescription?" "Isn't Noah with you? Didn't he tell you about it?" Nanny Zhang didn't raise her head as she answered. She looked at her hand as if she was studying something.

"Why are you treating my throat? I would be fine even if you only treated Nathan."

Mango wrote it down quickly.

Nanny Zhang smiled and said, "Why? Are you afraid that I will hurt you?"

"It's possible!"

Mango spoke bluntly.

Nanny Zhang let out a louder laugh.

"I can't help it if you think that way. I just want to treat you. Or else, I'm not going to treat Nathaniel. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether someone like me has children or not."

"How dare you!"

Mango was on the verge of going crazy.

She could not believe that there was such a mother in the world.

"What do you think? Be quick with your decision. Otherwise, even if I intend to save Nathaniel, I can do nothing with insufficient time."

Initially, Mango wanted to fling the items in her hands onto Nanny Zhang's face, but she couldn't afford it upon thinking of Nathaniel.

"Okay, I promise you. Even if you gave me poison, I'll drink it. I will do anything for Nathaniel. As long as you can cure him, I don't care if my life is forfeit."

Mango wrote furiously on the paper. Her force was so great that the paper was torn to pieces.

Nanny Zhang looked at her handwriting and reached out to put away the paper.

"What are you doing?"
