The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 623

"Sh*t!"

Mateo and Terrance's faces instantly darkened.

Terrance couldn't rush over immediately. By the time Mateo reached the scene, the car that was carrying Madam Ye had already exploded, and the bodyguards were scattered around the car with injuries.

"Where's Madam Ye?"

When there was no sight of Madam Ye, Mateo's face was grave.

The bodyguard tried to answer between gasping breaths, "Madam Ye was in the car and she couldn' t escape in time."

Did that mean Madam Ye was dead?

Mateo couldn’t believe what was happening.

Who was it that wanted Madam Ye dead?

He hadn't intended to take the life of Madam Ye, and Nathaniel would probably not be that coldblooded to kill her either. Then, who exactly sabotaged the Ye Family's car?

No matter what the answer was, Madam Ye was dead, and Mateo felt that he wouldn't be able to steer clear from being a suspect.

Nevertheless, he sighed and proceeded to tell Nathaniel the news.

Upon hearing from Mateo, Nathaniel frowned.

"What caused the explosion?"

T m not sure, but I can smell the gunpowder. Someone must have put it in the car and caused it to blow up. Nathaniel, trust me, I never wanted her to die. I was just..."

"I understand. This matter ends here."

Nathaniel's words stunned Mateo.

He added, "Aren't you going to look into it?"

"No, there’s no need. She's already dead anyway. No matter who it was that wanted her dead, she brought this onto herself. Now that her fate is sealed, let's not waste any more time. Instead of investigating this, why not put our energy into searching for Mango? After all, she’s what’s important right now."

Hearing Nathaniel's words, Mateo sensed the coldness in Nathaniel's tone and wondered if it was really him.

However, he did not mention his suspicions.

After both of them hung up, Mateo and Terrance quickly returned to the Hans Mansion.

After Madam Ye's death, they no longer held any grudges. Hence, they did everything they could in search of Mango.

Just as everyone was searching for Mango, she and Wisdom chose to stop at a small town.

Bettany was a little worried, but Mango was determined to leave.

Nathaniel had already looked into Desmond's car. Once he returned to the Ye's Mansion, he would have all the information needed to track her down through Desmond.

She didn't want to see Nathaniel at all, so in order to prevent him from finding her, she got off the car in a small and unknown town.

Desmond was worried and said, "How about I'll ask the driver to send Dr. Zhang back. I'll accompany you wherever you want to go, and at least I can be there to take care of you. I'm really worried about you, especially the state you're in now."

Hearing this, Mango shook her head.

Although she couldn’t speak and had lost an arm, she still had the ability to live.

She looked at Wisdom and smiled.

Because of her smile, Wisdom stood beside her obediently as if he would never leave her side no matter what Mango wanted to do.

Seeing that she was so stubborn, Desmond couldn't help but add, "Even if you don't care about yourself, you should think about Wisdom. You can't survive like this. Besides, you're unfamiliar with this place. How can I not be worried? I brought you here. If something happens to both of you, how can I forgive myself? No, you have to go back with me."

Mango found a paper and pen and wrote crookedly with her left hand. "I can't go back with you as it will bring trouble to you and the Fang family. I know what Nathaniel is like, and he will look for me desperately. I really don't want to see him right now. If he finds you, just say that you've dropped us off here, and say that you have no clue where we went. If it's no trouble, please lend us some money. I'll definitely give it back to you later."

"No, you don't have to give it back. If it weren't for you, I would still be in the Underground City being auctioned off. Here are three thousand dollars in cash. I will transfer you another twenty thousand dollars for emergencies."

Then, Desmond proceeded to transfer the money to Mango. Due to account limitations, he couldn't transfer that much. He said apologetically, "I'll transfer the rest to you tomorrow."

"There's no need, I'll change my phone number and bank account tomorrow. Desmond, thank you.

I will contact you later and pay you back."

Mango wrote.

Desmond shook his head and said, "You don't have to pay me back, really. Remember to contact me once you've settled down."

"It's better if you don't know where I am."

Mango put away her pen and paper, nodded at Bettany, and prepared to leave.

On the other hand, Bettany hadn't expected Mango to make such a decision.

She had thought that Mango was weak and easily bullied. Furthermore, Bettany thought that Mango wasn't capable of anything and that she was a woman that had to keep relying on others. However, she had never imagined that Mango would actually be so assertive.

"Mango, are you sure you want to bring Wisdom along? You should know that he would be in good hands if you let him come with us. You could also lessen the burden."

With that, Mango looked at Wisdom.

She wanted him to know that no matter what kind of difficulties they may face, they would survive.

When Wisdom saw Mango's smile, his nervousness eased up a little.

Leaning against Mango, he stretched out and gently patted the back of Mango's hand, as if he was comforting her.

Neither of them made a sound, but their hearts were warm.

Mango looked at the sun hanging from above, and it was almost noon.

She and Wisdom were easily identified, even more so now in this digital era. As long as Nathaniel gave generous rewards, it would not take long for them to be found and sent to Nathaniel.

Mango couldn't face him, and she didn't want to go back to the Ye Family. Hence, she took Wisdom to a small restaurant to have lunch.

Wisdom ate eagerly, but Mango had no appetite.

Her throat was still burning with pain, and any food she ate seemed to taste the same.

As Wisdom saw that she didn't touch any of her food, he took a chicken wing from his plate and gave it to Mango. The worried look in his eyes willed Mango to eat it, but it did not go down smoothly.

After the two of them finished their meal, Mango decided to find a place to stay. Although Nathaniel might be able to find them very quickly, they still needed to rest and catch their breaths before deciding their next move.

She felt that Nathaniel would not be able to rush over immediately. Even if he had news about them, he still needed time to get here, right?

Mango took Wisdom and settled down at a small inn.

The inn wasn't very hygienic, but there weren't many people here. The landlady didn't care much, and she didn't even ask for an identity card for registration. This saved Mango a lot of trouble.

Soon, she brought Wisdom to their room and let him take a hot shower before the both of them finally had some rest.

The unexpected events and blows that came at her over the past few days caused Mango to feel completely exhausted.

As she lay down on the bed, she fell asleep not long after.

Meanwhile, Wisdom lay in her arms, which put her at ease.

After a good sleep, Mango immediately checked on Wisdom. She was relieved as she saw that he was still sleeping in her arms

She pulled out her arm carefully as she wanted to get Wisdom something to eat. She also decided to buy some necessities but suddenly felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this room.

What was amiss?

Mango looked around carefully and finally found the problem.
