The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 978

Lebanon felt awkward when he turned his head and saw Mango looking at him with an amused look.

"Ahem, well, uhm... I came to see you. How are you doing?"

He couldn't help but frown when he saw Mango lying on the bed.

"Did that b*stard, Diago, do this?"

"Diago?"

Mango did not recognise the name that was coming out of Lebanon's lips.

"Who is Diago?"

Lebanon was slightly stunned, and he was confused.

Nathaniel was tight-lipped, and he refused to leak any information. Although Lebanon questioned him repeatedly, he only learned that Mango had been injured.

Nathaniel had even made sure that other parties wouldn't leak anything. Heck! Lebanon couldn't even bribe the doctors with money as they refused to tell him anything.

However, Lebanon felt a bit unsure as he looked at

Mango's puzzled expression.

"Didn't Diago kidnap you?"

Although Mango had no interest in Lebanon, she knew that there was something that she still didn't know when she heard him saying an unfamiliar name.

"Tell me. What's going on?"

Mango struggled to get up, but she accidentally touched her wound. She was in so much pain that she broke out in cold sweat.

"Let me help you."

Lebanon walked up quickly and held Mango gently.

Mango could smell the cologne that Lebanon wore. However, the smell was sweeter than the fragrance that Nathaniel usually used, so she wasn't used to it.

"I'll do it myself."

As she struggled to get up, the clothes on her shoulder loosened a little, revealing her terrifying wound.

Lebanon's eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Hah... they actually used a whip on you?"

Lebanon wanted to pull down Mango's collar as he said, but Mango said in a cold tone, "Lebanon, stop there, or I'll chop your hands off. Men and women should refrain from touching each other inappropriately, don't you understand that?"

After hearing these words, Lebanon's hand paused in mid-air. He had an awkward expression on his face.

"Sorry, I just wanted to see your injury."

"Are you a doctor?"

Mango asked back sarcastically.

Lebanon suddenly became even more embarrassed.

"No, I'm not."

"Are you my husband then?"

Lebanon was even more speechless hearing Mango's question.

"Then why the f*ck do you want to look at it?"

Mango said this sentence in a rather irritated and frustrated tone.

Lebanon was stunned.

To him, Mango was intelligent, noble, and someone who carried an elegant aura. He had never thought that Mango would swear, let alone swearing at him!

Mango did not care what his expression was now or what he was thinking. She used her hand to tidy her collar and sat up with a bit of a struggle. Then, she said, "Can you tell me now who Diago is? Why did you appear here? Wait...were you involved in my kidnapping too?"

"No way! How could this be possible?"

Lebanon became anxious immediately.

"I would never ever hurt you!"

Mango was surprised when she heard Lebanon's firm tone.

"Then why did you come to see me? I don't think we're close."

Lebanon didn't know how to answer her question.

Of course, Mango had no idea about their relationship, and Nathaniel did not want her to find out too. Lebanon wanted to tell Mango at first, but he suddenly changed his mind after this incident.

Perhaps it would be best for Mango to not know anything and continue living in her current state.

As this thought flashed across Lebanon's mind rapidly, he said in a low voice, "Can't I visit you as a friend?"

"I am not your friend."

Mango's words were ruthless.

Lebanon had no reasons to blame her, and he could only let out a bitter laugh in his heart.

"Alright... then I was a fool that thought we were close then. Besides, I came here to see how bad your wound was."

"So?"

Lebanon did not know how to answer Mango's question.

Perhaps Mango would not even believe him if he were to say that he wanted to seek justice for her. In fact, she would even suspect that he had feelings for her!

Why was it so difficult for him to come up with an excuse to care for her?

"Diago is Melissa's boyfriend, and Melissa is our nanny's daughter. She used her relationship with me to get into the entertainment industry. However, she did not graduate from the related courses, and she did not have an outstanding appearance, so she is not really famous in the industry. Once, she came over to ask me for jobs, but she overheard something that I had said. She had promised not to leak it out, and I believed her. However, it was not long after Nathaniel and her met."

Lebanon didn't answer Mango's question, so he talked about Melissa instead.

This was the first time Mango had heard of this woman's name, and she felt disgusted as she had to hear it from someone else other than Nathaniel.

However, Nathaniel was trying to hide the truth from her, and this incident was related to Melissa. Hence, Mango felt that she could get some news from Lebanon now that he had said something about her.

"What did you say? Why did Melissa find Nathaniel?"

Lebanon's eyes sparkled.

"I don't know. Perhaps for some resources."

Lebanon's answer was casual, so Mango obviously did not believe me.

"You better tell me why if you really want to be friends with me. Urgh! Do you know that my husband and I almost divorced because of her? She failed to seduce my husband and ended up dying later. I believed that you know all these."

Mango looked at Lebanon and spoke continuously.

Lebanon felt particularly stressed after hearing her words.

Melissa had found out that Mango was Lebanon's biological sister, so Nathaniel also found out about this through her. However, Lebanon could not tell Mango about this.
