The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 718

Mango was very confused. Why couldn't she tell Novalee the truth?

Henry thought for a moment before saying, "My sister disagreed with me in sending my parents' memorial tablets back here. She said that there was nobody else staying here. It was meaningless to send them back. Moreover, my parents' situation is complicated. My sister insisted them be buried in the Martyr's Cemetery ."

Mango paused for a moment.

When it came to Novalee's family background, she did some digging previously only because of Walter's incident. She only knew that Novalee's parents died in the line of duty. Hence, they should supposedly be titled martyrs then.

"Shouldn't your parents be considered martyrs?"

"They should be, but the money for the initial transaction has been lost. Now, there is no conclusion about this matter and they can't be buried in the Martyr's Cemetery. My sister is truly pissed off about this, and she is bound to seek redress for my parent. I know that she did this for the sake of our parents, but sometimes I do hope that they will return to their roots. No matter what the outside world says, they are my parents after all."

Henry's expression was slightly forlorn.

Mango understood him. She patted his shoulder and said, "I understand. Don't worry, I won't tell her."

"Thank you, Mrs. Ye."

"What are you guys talking about?"

Just as Nathaniel finished his acupuncture, he came over and saw them chatting happily, so he couldn't help asking.

Mango told Nathaniel about Henry's identity. At the same time, he also told Nathaniel about the relationship between Novalee and Walter.

When Henry heard that his sister had found a boyfriend, he was quite happy.

"So, she already has a boyfriend. I'm glad to hear that. Why didn't she tell me that?"

"Maybe they haven't committed to each other yet but the guy has a great personality. You can rest assured that your sister is safe with him."

Mango's words had piqued Henry's interest in Walter.

"Do you have any photos of him?"

"Of course, take a look here."

Mango found Walter's photo and sent it to Henry.

While Nathaniel saw them engaged in heated discussion, he smiled and nodded his head as he walked away.

Seeing him like this, Noah touched his arm and said, "Aren't you jealous?"

"Why do I need to be jealous of a kid?"

Nathaniel sat aside as he spoke.

Noah also sat next to him.

"Honestly speaking, Mango had put in a lot of effort for your incident during this period. She'd nearly contacted every expert in the world to cure your illness. Unfortunately, your illness ended up being cured by Nanny Zhang. Perhaps it's destiny. When Nanny Zhang died, I know that you were sad and I understand the relationship between you and Nanny Zhang. No matter what she has done, she's still your mother. You wouldn't forgive her when she's alive. Conversely, you'll forgive her when she's dead. However, Nathan, you're you, and you're not Mango. You may forgive everything that Nanny Zhang has done, but Mango can't stand the fact that she'll never be able to become a mother again for the rest of her life. It's okay for you to mourn Nanny Zhang but you can't do much. A person should care more for the living, right?"

Upon hearing Noah's words, Nathaniel nodded.

"I know. I'm feeling sad about Nanny Zhang's death, but that's not what made me sentimental. The reason that I want to buy this place and refurbish it is not merely for Nanny Zhang. Before she died, she told me that Mango's vocal cords were damaged. If I want it to be completely recovered, I should find something called blue nymph grass. It is said to live next to the cemetery. Out of respect for the dead, I want to buy it and do some refurbishment. If there are descendants who can watch over here, that would be the best. Otherwise, I'll hire someone to take care of it regularly. This village belonged to traditional medicine practitioners, and no one knows if there are precious herbs here. If there are, I want to continue to conserve them. I may not need to ask around for help after I've developed the plot into a medicinal herb cultivation base."

Nathaniel's words made Noah stunned for a moment.

"Have you told Mango regarding it?"

"Not yet.”

"Why are you so stupid? You're doing this for her sake. How would she know if you don't tell her?"

Noah was trying to jolt some sense into him.

However, Nathaniel said with a smile,

"Confessions are unnecessary between us."

"Bullsh*t. The most important thing between a married couple is to communicate with each other and understanding each other's feelings. Not everyone will understand you. Also, don't think she's a mind reader. There's no such thing as telling what someone's thinking with just a look in the other person's eyes. It's not like you guys have a telepathic connection."

Noah felt that Nathaniel's bad temper could not be changed.

Nathaniel nodded.

"I'll talk to her later."

"That's right."

The two of them chatted for a while before Mango walked over.

"Nathan, are you going to stay here for few more days?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?"

Mango pondered for a moment before saying, "I want to see Novalee. She's Henry's sister. She got injured because of Walter, and it's true that she was injured because I sent her over. The doctor said that her womb was damaged, so it's not guaranteed that she'll recover. Maxton hurried back from Santell Capital. I don't know how she is doing. Though I heard the way she was talking to Henry was fine just now, who knows if she's faking it? I can't help much at here either, so I wanted to go and take a look."

Noah took a glance at her and said, "You have one more day of acupuncture. You can go after the acupuncture is done tomorrow."

"That's fine."

Mango nodded her head.

Henry decided to stay there to help out. There were no classes for him for a few days since it was a holiday.

Nathaniel brought Mango to the graveyard behind them.

This was the place where the people of the village had been buried for decades.

Mango asked in confusion, "Why did you bring me here?"

"Nanny Zhang said that your throat needs a herb to be cured completely. Otherwise, your voice will hurt as soon as you talk and the pain will accompany you for the rest of your life."

Mango paused for a moment before she said with a bitter smile, "It's already hard enough for me to speak once more."
