The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 723

"How do you know? You're just a kid. How could you know what happened in our village?"

Aiden became agitated after he heard Henry's words.

Henry was frightened by Aiden. He moved two steps backwards and said, "I'm also from this village. My parents went to serve in the army a long time ago."

"What? You're actually their child?"

Aiden was stunned, and then he struggled to get up.

"Oh no! Don't tell them!"

He pounced on Henry like a wild animal.

Henry had never experienced such a thing before, and he was so scared that he kept moving backward.

Mango grabbed Aiden's collar and pulled him back abruptly. Then, she kicked Aiden into the pit with one foot.

"Please continue to show off if you want to be buried alive. I don't mind repeating what happened just now."

Mango didn't look like she was joking at all, which scared Aiden instantly.

"Killing people is against the law."

"At least you still know that murder is illegal. I don't have the time to talk to you now. Well figure things out after I find Nathaniel."

After Mango finished her words, she got Noah to keep an eye of him here and then followed Henry to look for Nathaniel.

Noah got Zion to stay with him, and called Mango to the side.

"This is the antidote that I've prepared after coming here. Genevieve and I have already seen and done research on Nanny Zhang's poison. This is what we came up with. After we find Nathaniel, we'll get him to eat it no matter if it's useful or not. The most important thing is to save his life."

"Alright."

Mango had absolute faith in Noah.

She kept the antidote Noah gave her and then left with Henry.

Henry led Mango towards the other side of the cave.

"Blue nymph grass actually grows very close to this place. It's located in the graveyard ahead of us, but people who don't know about it can't find it easily."

Henry's words caused Mango's heart to ache once again.

Nathaniel had just woken up and came here for the blue nymph grass to cure her throat. She really did not know what she would do if something really happened to Nathaniel.

When Henry saw Mango's nervous expression, he said in a low voice, "Mrs. Ye, don't worry. This place isn't far from the place Aiden was buried. Mr. Ye will be fine."

"I hope so."

The two of them quickly went to the graveyard.

It was only then that Mango realized that this place wasn't far from the cave that they had fallen into. It was just that she didn't know that this graveyard was surrounded by miasma, so she couldn't see the direction clearly.

"Why is there a cemetery here? Wasn't the ones we passed by just now cemeteries as well?"

"This is the place where they bury villagers with a higher status, and the ones in front are the graveyards for ordinary villagers. We cultivated blue nymph grass at the beginning, and it became a special product of the cemetery here. There is miasma between the two graveyards. Generally speaking, people who don't live in the village don't know about it."

As Henry explained, he brought Mango forward.

All of a sudden, Mango saw a person lying in the middle of two tombs, with a blue blade of grass in his hand. The grass flickered with a silver light under the moonlight.

"Nathan?"

She ran towards him all of a sudden.

Henry said nervously, "Mrs. Ye, don't touch the blue nymph grass in his hand. Blue Star Grass needs special treatment to be smashed. It is poisonous from head to toe."

As soon as these words came out, Mango was immediately stunned.

"So Nathan was poisoned by blue nymph grass?"

"I think so."

Mango understood instantly.

Nathaniel was in a hurry to find for the blue nymph grass, so Aiden used this to set a trap to poison Nathaniel.

Aiden is so vicious!

"Then how do we do it?"

"I'll do it."

Henry moved forward quickly, and took out a special tool to take the blue nymph grass out from Nathaniel's hand.

It was only now that Mango saw that Nathaniel's palm had turned black.

She stepped forward quickly and put the antidote that Noah gave her into Nathaniel's mouth, forcing it to melt.

Nathaniel's face was also ashen. There isn't any warmth in his body, but he was still breathing. Mango would freaked out at this moment if she couldn't sense a breathe from him.

She was worried about Nathaniel, but she did not dare to simply move Nathaniel. She just held him in her arms, and waited quietly for the drug to work.

After putting the blue nymph grass away, Henry looked at Nathaniel and said in a low voice, "Mrs. Ye, do we need to call Dr. Soo to come and have a look?"

"No, I still have something to ask about Aiden.

Mango's eyes were fixed on Nathaniel this whole time.

The black on Nathaniel's face slowly receded after around 10 minutes.

The moment he opened his eyes, Mango hugged him and said in a choked voice, "I really don't want you anymore if you continue to risk your life like this again."

Nathaniel paused for a moment and then reacted.
