The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 36

"Baby, I'm sorry. Mommy made you worry."

Mango held Zion's hand, and her eyes were full of guilt.

When Nathan heard Mango calling Zion “baby", he couldn't say anything. He wanted to confirm something, but under such a situation, he didn't ask.

Zion was trembling in Mango's arms, and finally had the temperament that a four-year-old child should have. The doctor and nurse on the side did not dare to disturb and looked helplessly at Nathan.

Nathan coughed and said, "kid, your mom just woke up, let the doctor check for her, okay?"

Zion frowned slightly, but still obediently retreated to the side. Nathan subconsciously took his hand. Zion wanted to pull his hand out, but he did not have enough strength. He looked up angrily at Nathan, but Nathan seemed to have not seen it, staring at the doctor and Mango.

Mango naturally heard Nathan's words just now, especially the words "Your mommy". Her eyes flashed with a glimmer of light.

It seemed that her relationship with Zion was exposed.

Although she didn't mean to hide Zion's identity, it was still a little abrupt for Mango. In her plan, it was better not to let Zion be a part of this. After all, it was between adults. She didn't want to get involved with the child. But Zion had to follow her when she

came.

Now that Nathan knew that she had a child, his doubts about her must have been rising. Whether he would investigate Zion's identity had become one of Mango's current concern.

What if he knew Zion's identity and wanted to take the boy's custody?

Mango was somewhat impetuous.

She knew that Nathan might not necessarily take the custody, but when she looked at Zion, her thoughts were complicated.

The doctor gave Mango a full-body examination and found that her condition was relatively stable, so he left.

It happened that Rainie came back. She saw the scene and was not nice to Nathan.

"Why are you here again? Why do you have so much spare time?"

Nathan automatically ignored Rainie's sarcasm.

He put Zion into Rainie and said coldly, "It's better for a child not to stay in the hospital for a long time. There are a lot of bacteria here. Don't infect him. Also, it's time for such a small child to go to school. Aren't you a teacher? Take him to kindergarten. I'm here."

Zion and Rainie glared at Nathan at the same time, but Nathan didn't seem to see it. He went straight to Mango's bed and took out the breakfast he brought.

"I ask the butler to make some chicken soup, with wolf berry. It is nutritious and good for the blood. Have some."

Then he poured the chicken soup into a bowl.

Mango couldn't figure out what Nathan was up to now. Besides, she didn't want to let Zion know too much. So she turned to Rainie with a smile and said, "Dear, please take care of Zion. Mr. Ye is right. Zion needs to go to school. The environment here is really not good. Don't worry, I'm fine. Anyway, I have a cooperative relationship with Mr. Ye. He won't ignore me. Moreover, if I'm right, Mr. Tang should also hear the news and He will come soon."

"When will Godfather come?"

Zion's eyes shone when he heard that Abyss Tang was coming. To Nathan, the boy's expectant look was particularly ironic.

"How come this brat just likes Abyss Tang so much?"

"Why was the boy not nice to me?"

Nathan did not know what was going on. He suddenly said in a muffled voice, "I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Mr. Tang can't come for the time being. I'll take full care of this place."

"What did you say? Is there any reason he can't come?"

Mango immediately became nervous.

In the past few years, Abyss Tang had been really nice to them. Even if it was a big business, Abyss Tang would not spare so much effort. The only thing that made him unable to leave might be Rita.

Did something happen to Rita again? Mango's nervous expression was particularly annoying to Nathan's eyes. He even had an unknown anger conning up now.

Was Abyss Tang so important to her?

It was fine that the brat looked forward to it, but now it seemed that Mango was also looking forward to it. Nathan's face darkened.

"How would I know? His secretary said that there was something in his family, so he couldn't come. No matter how important you are, you are just a designer of Abyss Tang. Can you compare with his family?"

Nathan didn't want to say that, but he suddenly couldn't control his mouth.

Zion frowned tightly and suddenly roared in a low voice, "My Godfather is much better than you. If he is here, he will never let mom get hurt! And we are his family! He said that as long as Mommy is willing, he can be my father at any time!"

Nathan's nameless fire grew even fiercer.

"To be your father? Don't you have a dad? Why are you taking another father when you have one?"

"My father is dead!"

After Zion finished shouting, his tears flowed down immediately, and his eyes were full of resentment.

Mango was suddenly shocked.

"Zion, you..."

She did not expect Zion to have such an attitude toward Nathan.

In this way, did Zion know something? Otherwise, it was impossible for him to talk to Nathan like this.

Mango was so shocked that she broke out in a cold sweat. When she still wanted to say something, Zion pushed the Rainie away and ran out in rage.

"Zion!"

Mango wanted to get up, but she was too weak to do so. She almost fell off the bed. Fortunately, Nathan helped her.

Rainie glared at Nathan and said, "Mr. Ye is really powerful. Even for bullying a little boy, you made it naturally!"

After that, she turned around and went after Zion.

At this time, Nathan's mind was blank. He didn't know how to describe it. Especially when Zion said that his father had died, he felt very sad.

If Zion was really his own child...

Nathan did not dare to think further.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to say that, I..."

Nathan rarely apologized to others, but these days he seemed to get used to it.

Mango shook her head and restrained her emotions.

"It has nothing to do with you. His father is indeed dead."

Mango's cold words were like a sharp dagger piercing into Nathan's heart.

"Dead? How did he die?"

He didn't want to ask, but it was not up to him.

If she was really his wife, then Nathan must know what happened five years ago.

Mango didn't want to talk, so she closed her eyes directly.

"Mr. Ye, I am a little tired and want to rest. If you have nothing to do, go back and help me find special care. I am like this now, may not be able to work for a while."

"It doesn't matter. For me, making you better is work. I will take care of you in person."

Nathan said as he sat down beside Mango's bed.

"You can have your rest, after drinking the chicken soup first. It is good for your health. No matter what opinions or dissatisfaction you have, you can't disobey your body, can you?"

Then, he brought the chicken soup to Mango.

The strong fragrance made Mango sick and nauseous, and she couldn't help retching.

"What's wrong?"

Nathan quickly patted her back with a trace of doubt and anxiety in his eyes.

Mango covered her nose and let him take it away.

Nathan did not understand why, but he did.

After the smell of chicken soup dissipated, Mango felt a little better.

But Nathan couldn't see her hungry, so he had to buy some millet porridge.

Mango thought that Nathan had left and was about to video chat with Abyss Tang, asking about Rita. She didn't expect Nathan to come back. She quickly locked the phone and put it aside.

Nathan was sharp to saw that. Without saying anything, he handed the millet porridge to Mango.

"Eat some. You've lost too much blood and hurt your right leg. You need to recover."

Mango did not refuse this time. She took the millet porridge and drank it.

"Mr. Ye, can you leave now? I need some private time and space. Thank you."

Mango was completely distanced from Nathan.

Nathan did not follow, instead, he put the bowl and chopsticks away, then sat down on Mango's bed. He leaned forward slightly and was too close to Mango.

Mango frowned tightly with disgust. She quickly stretched out her arm to block Nathan.

"Mr. Ye, what are you doing?"

"You seem to hate me. Do I know you before?"

Nathan's scent came hurtling toward her.

He was still so charming, but unfortunately, she was no longer the Mango of the past.

"You must be joking. How could I know you?"

Mango wanted to stay away from Nathan as far as possible. But Nathan seemed to be against her will deliberately. She retreated a step, and he moved a step forward. The distance between them was always within an inch.

"Really? Since you didn't know me before, where did your hatred to me come from? Don't tell me you don't hate me. I'm not blind."

Nathan said calmly, with a trace of exploration in his eyes.

Mango frowned even deeper.

Not see this man for only five years, how come he changed so much? Since when did he was used to be so close to a strange woman?

"Mr. Ye, you should not forget that I was humiliated by your girlfriend as soon as I arrived at your company. Then, you came in person and almost took off my clothes. Now, because of you, I lay on the bed and couldn't move. Why shouldn't I hate you?"

Mango suddenly looked up and did not hide the emotions in her eyes. All of a sudden, her eyes were filled with hatred, which was somewhat horrible.

Nathan remained unmoved.

Nathan suddenly grabbed Mango's chin, his warm breath sprayed on her face. Soon Mango felt nervous.

"What do you want? Nathaniel Ye, I warn you, this is a hospital!"

Mango's voice trembled, she resisted with all her strength.

This man made her hate him to the core. Now his touch would only make her sick!

But at this moment, Nathan suddenly lowered his head.
