The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 20

Mango's mind is back in the fire, five years ago. She was completely drowned in the fire, and those desperate cries for help.

"No! Help! Help me!"

She was sweating all over and waving her hands like a helpless child.

Rainie quickly grabbed her hand and said with distress, "It's okay. Mango, it's okay. I'm here with you. Right here. Don't be afraid."

Rainie didn't know the detail, about what Mango experienced for the past five years, yet everyone in the whole Ocean City knew about the big fire five years ago. No one could wake up from such a nightmare.

It was said that the fire burned everything, and the flames burned for several hours.

"Ouch! It hurts! Help me! I'm going to die of pain!"

Mango grabbed Rainie's hand recklessly, as if she had caught a life buoy. She used all her strength on her hands. Her nails seeped into Rainie's skin. The scratching hurt, but it couldn't distract Rainie's focus on her confusions.

"What on earth have you experienced? Why did you go getting tattoos? Mango, you have too many secrets to deal with alone. How can I help you?"

Rainie's eyes were wet.

Rainie wanted to bring justice to Mango, but who should she turn to?

It could only be Nathaniel Ye!

The Crown Prince and invisible owner of Ocean City.

His casual stamp could tremble the whole City. What could she do?

The only thing Rainie could offer for Mango was to provide her a place to live and help her with some trivial things as much as possible.

Rainie could feel this time, that Mango had came back with a plan, and might even have some important business. But Mango intended to keep her true purpose to herself, plus Rainie wasn't nosy. Now seeing Mango's painful look, Rainie regretted for not asking.

It took Mango a long time to calm down, but the tears at the corners of her eyes never stopped. For a while she was whispering "why", for the next moment she would be shouting Zion and Rita's name.

Night became dawn, as time passed quitely.

When the morning sun came in through the window, Mango woke up slowly.

She looked at the white ceiling and the white bed. It took her a while to realize where she was.

Mango moved her arm and woke up Rainie instantly.

"You are awake! How do you feel? Let me get the doc."

Rainie ran out before Mango could speak.

Mango laughed a little, there she could feel the sore and weakness all over her body.

It seemed that Ocean City was really not for her. She got sick as soon as coming back.

When the doctor came for inspection, Mango had recovered a few. The doctor made it clear that her life was not at risk, but she still needed to take some medicine.

"Please act like an adult. You even went to tattoo when you are allergic to drugs. Are you going to die?"

Mango did not respond to the doctor. For a reason.

Yes, she was allergic. When she gave birth to Zion and Rita Shen, and had Abyss Tang funded her plastic surgery, she knew what medicine could cause her allergic reaction. Since in the past five years, she had been shocked countless times, only to repair her face. Fortunately, Abyss Tang had been with her every time, so she could survive.

If it wasn't Nathan suspected her and wanted to check her body, she might not have taken the risk of tattooing to cover the burn on her body.

But how could she tell the doctor about these things?

The doctor was satisfied that Mango would follow his instructions. So he pointed out that Mango was free to leave the hospital at any time, then left the room.

As soon as the doctor left, Rainie quickly turned to Mango, and released her anger.

"Why did you get the tattoo? You have drug allergy. Don't tell me you only know it now." Seeing that Rainie won't stop until knowing the truth, Mango sighed softly and told her everything.

"Are you crazy? You risked your life, just to keep your true identity from Nathan? For such a jerk, is it worth it? what if something happens to you? Have you ever thought about it?"

Rainie was very angry.

Mango whispered, "Abyss Tang introduced the tattoo guy, I know it was an accident. If the guy didn't dilute the ink, I might get worse. Don't worry, I'm fine now. I ate some anti-inflammatory drugs when I went back, but I didn't expect to scared you and Zion. By the way, where is Zion?"

"Fortunately, you still remember your son."

Rainie was still angry, but she couldn't blame Mango. Back then, Mango suffered so much. No matter what Mango did to get back to Nathan, Rainie had to understand.

"Well, where is he?"

Mango shook Rainie's arm like a spoiled child.

Rainie helplessly poked Mango's forehead with her hand and said with hatred, "This is a hospital, given the hygiene issue, do you think I should let him stay here? Zion is at home. If you feel better, I will go take care of the paper work and get you out of here. I am a little worried about that brat too." NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

"Okay."

Mango wanted to go home eagerly now. Zion must be lonely now. Was he really all right? She couldn't help but worry.
