The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 752

"You're the idiot! You married one, I don't understand why you're proud."

Nathaniel laughed at Mango's sarcastic words.

"Well, we don't have time to fool around. Get up and get ready. We're going to the nursing home."

"Why are we going there?"

Mango was not fully awake yet.

"Are you planning to find a place for our retirement this quickly?"

"Mango, are you still asleep? Please wake up!"

Nathaniel grabbed Mango's head and shook it lightly. Mango felt dizzy from the shaking.

"Nathaniel Ye, what are you doing?"

"Are you awake yet?"

"Are you mad? You're as childish as Walter!"

Mango felt that Nathaniel was becoming more like a child in front of her.

Then, she pushed Nathaniel away and frowned slightly.

Nathaniel said with a smile, "Oh, by the way, it was Walter who called. He said that Carter went to visit his mother Sophia and he was afraid that she would hurt herself, so he asked us to go take a look. You know, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't care about this. Are you going or not? If you don't want to, then I'm going back to work."

Upon hearing this, Mango quickly grabbed Nathaniel by his arm and said, "I'll go! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I wanted to let you rest a little longer. Mango, you're really energetic when it comes to Walter."

Nathaniel said enviously.

As she heard this, Mango held his head and gave it a kiss.

"Aw, don't be jealous. Walter is far away in Nakasara. It takes at least six or seven hours for him to come back. What if something happens to Aunt Sophia? This is a matter of life and death. Wait for me, I'll go change and we can go out."

Mango rushed to the changing room in a flurry as she said this.

Nathaniel shook his head with a smile and touched the spot where Mango had kissed him.

Yup.

That felt nice!

Then, he changed his clothes with a silly smile on his face. After waiting for some time, Mango was ready.

Hl — H

Lets go.

"Nathan, do we need to buy some fruits or supplements for Aunt Sophia?"

Mango asked a little anxiously.

"No, Sophia doesn't recognize anyone right now. Let's just go and see if she is okay. We can leave the other things to Walter when he come back."

Nathaniel's words made Mango a little hesitant.

"Would that really be okay?"

"Let's buy some fruit, then."

"Nathaniel, you're just brushing me off!"

Mango finally saw through Nathaniel's insincere attitude.

Nathaniel shrugged his shoulders and said, "Come on, we're going there to see if Aunt Sophia's doing okay, not to visit our in-laws. Why are you being so nervous?"

"Ugh, what are you saying?"

Mango glared at Nathaniel before they left the house.

Although Nathaniel had been curt just now, he still bought some supplements on the way there.

Mango discovered that Nathaniel enjoyed acting rather arrogant on the outside now.

When they arrived at the nursing home, they directly told the nurse their names and Walter's request, but the nurse seemed particularly flustered.

"Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye, I'm sorry, but Madam Liu is missing."

Mango and Nathaniel were both stunned at this.

"What do you mean by 'missing'?"

Mango asked worriedly.

The nurse was so anxious that she was about to cry.

"After Mr. Song left, I went into the room to check. Madam Liu was still sitting in front of the window. But when I came back from the toilet, she was gone. We have surveillance cameras here, but we didn't see Madam Liu coming out of the room. What should I do? Sir Walter would kill me."

The nurse cried so hard that her face was covered with tears.

"Wait a minute. You said that Sophia didn't leave her room? How could you be so sure that she hadn't left the room?"

Nathaniel asked hurriedly.

The nurse wiped her tears and said, "We have checked the footage. There was no trace that Madam Liu had come out of her room at all, but how could she have disappeared? It's impossible!"

"Take us to the security room."

Nathaniel's intuition told him that something was up.

Then, Mango followed Nathaniel and the nurse to the security room.

The footage was still being played inside.

Nathaniel began to check from the beginning, where he found that there was indeed a problem in the footage.

"Look, the time here doesn't fit with the time at the back. There is a part where a few minutes of the footage was lost, and it must have been tweaked by someone. It has been edited to match the time in front to make it look seamless. But the problem is exposed in the timestamp right here. Without taking a closer look, it can't be spotted at all. Sophia must have been taken away by someone. Moreover, they have edited all the important footage away. The people in this room may know where Sophia is. Who was on duty during this period? Where are they?"

Nathaniel's analysis was clear to the director of the hospital and the nurse.

"Hadley Zhang is on duty today. When I came over to check the surveillance, he happened to have gone to the bathroom."

The director's words made Nathaniel frown

slightly.

"Send someone to detain him quickly. If I'm right, he should be trying to escape right now."

Hearing Nathaniel's words, the director quickly sent people to find him, but unfortunately, they were too late.

"Call the police and arrest Hadley."
