The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 721

"Are you sure he is dead?"

"Yes, it was the people from the village who gave Aiden a tombstone. My dad said that his tombstone will not be in our graveyard because he wasn't someone from our village. However, it wouldn't be far from here too, so it must be somewhere nearby."

Mango got extremely suspicious after she heard what Henry said.

"Can we still find that tombstone?"

"I don't know. I should be able to do it. However, no one has been in the village for so many years now, so I'm not sure if the tombstone has been covered by withered grass."

Although Henry said so, Mango still decided to go over and take a look.

"Thank you, Henry. I'll go take a look first."

Zion's voice reached Mango's ears when she was about to walk out.

"Mommy, I want to go too."

He rubbed his bleary eyes as he looked at Mango, as if he had just woken up.

"Zion, don't go there. It's not a place for kids."

"I have to protect you."

Zion's words warmed Mango's heart.

"Don't worry, mommy is fine."

"I don't care. I'm going."

Zion went forward and hugged Mango's thigh. He didn't want to let go at all.

Seeing him like this, Henry smiled and said, "Mrs. Ye, just let him go with you. It's okay, I'll take care of him."

"Are you going too?"

Mango was a little surprised.

Henry nodded and said, "I'll go and have a look. I'm the descendant of this village after all, so I have to see if my parents are right. Besides, I should be more familiar with the terrain here than you. After all, my parents spoke of this place when I was a child."

Mango pondered for a moment before nodding her head after she heard what Henry said.

Zion was so happy, and he went to change his clothes after he heard that she could go with her.

Nevertheless, Mango's brows were still tightly furrowed.

It was impossible for Aiden to be a dead man.

Although it sounded terrifying just now, she still did not believe in the existence of ghosts after she thought about it.

Noah walked over when he saw that Mango had not gone out for a long time. He saw Mango standing in a daze in the pavilion as he strode in.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you still here?"

"I'm waiting for Henry and Zion."

Mango told Noah what Henry had told her.

Noah shared the same thoughts as Mango after hearing what she said.

"There are no ghosts here. Aiden may not have died back then."

"But Henry also said that the whole village made a tombstone for him. How could this happen if he didn't die?"

Noah couldn't explain Mango's doubt.

"Let's go see Aiden's tomb first no matter what the reason is. We might be able to find Nathan too."

"Hm, alright!"

Henry and Zion had gotten ready while Mango and Noah were talking.

Mango found it ridiculously funny when she saw Zion dressed himself up in a very formal manner as if he was about to go on an adventure.

"Isn't it hot?"

"Not really"

Zion said as he fanned himself.

Mango smiled and didn't say anything.

Noah held out his hand towards Zion.

"Let's go. Uncle Soo will take you on an adventure, on which well save people."

"Who am I to save?"

"Mr. Ye of course!"

"Ugh, lame."

Zion curled his lips as he wasn't worried about Nathaniel's safety at all.

Mango seriously doubted if this brat was really Nathaniel's son.

On the other hand, Henry couldn't help but feel a little envious looking at them like that.

"You two are so close, unlike my sister and I. Although we're siblings, we are far away from each other. We can only meet each other through video or phone calls."

"You will reunite one day."

Mango patted Henry's shoulder to comfort him.

Lets go.

Everyone began to set off as soon as Noah gave

the order.

Henry remembered the route that his parents had mentioned before after leaving Pickwick Lodge Farm. Then, he took Mango, Noah, and the others with him and set off from the mountains.

"We haven't been here before, and the cemetery we passed by was not here."

Mango asked with some alertness as she looked at this completely unfamiliar place.

Henry smiled and said, "Of course, outsiders have to enter the cemetery from the outside. I heard from my parents that this is the core part of our village. We have cultivated a lot of herbal medicine, so only our people know how to enter from the hills. Follow me. By the way, put this on your body."

Henry gave each of them a pill while he was speaking.

The pill had a pungent smell of medicine.

Mango asked, "What's the use of this?"

"It's for warding off insects. The climate here is humid, and many poisonous insects are thriving here. This is to ward them off. They will stay far away from us once they smell this scent. It'll be safer for us this way."

After hearing Henry's explanation, Mango asked, "Did your parents tell you this as well?"

"To be precise, I found the prescriptions in their notebooks after their death and made them myself. Since I intended to come back and have a look, I have to keep myself safe and sound. My parents work in the subtropical regions, so they always had these things on them."
