The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 248

Although Nathaniel was carrying an oxygen tank, it was not an easy feat for him to dive to the bottom of the ocean.

His body began to strain, and the buoyancy of the water was too much for him to bear. Nevertheless, Nathaniel persisted and he was unwilling to give up.

"How is Mango doing now?"

Nathaniel refused to believe that Mango would commit suicide, so the only logical explanation was that someone had planned on killing Mango. Furthermore, Nathaniel was sure that Mango had no idea what was happening at the time.

Nathaniel did not know who this person was, but he knew that it was definitely not Abyss.

Abyss' goal was to steal Mango from him, so Abyss would not let her die.

The buoyant force of the seawater made it hard for Nathaniel to keep his eyes open, but he still persevered.

At the same time, his skin hurt as if it was pricked by needles. His injured arm was numb and he couldn’t feel much of it, but Nathaniel still dived down.

Then, he seemed to see the outline of a car.

Air bubbles emanated from the white roof of the car. Was Mango inside?

Nathaniel really wanted to swim over to take a look, but he really could not hold on any longer.

Nevertheless, Nathaniel steadied his movements and he tried his best to keep breathing.

Both rescue and salvage teams around him did not want to risk their lives to dive so deep into the ocean. But after seeing Nathaniel was seemingly frozen, they only wanted to pull him up first.

Nevertheless, Nathaniel noticed their intentions and he aggressively swung a few punches at them. At that moment, his desperate expression frightened everyone around him.

Finally, they began to retreat.

Nathaniel could not be bothered at all.

He took another deep breath before he mustered up all his strength and he swam down.

Finally, Nathaniel grasped the door handle of the car.

At that, Nathaniel was absolutely elated.

He pulled at the door hard, but he found that it would not budge. In the end, he could only try to ram it open with his arms. When that didn’t work, he rammed into the car repeatedly with his body.

The powerful impact caused his arm to bleed again but Nathaniel did not seem to have noticed. Instead, he resumed frantically ramming himself against the car.

Finally, the window of the car loosened.

Then, Nathaniel shattered the window with a well- placed kick.

He quickly opened the car door.

After he opened the door, Nathaniel realized that the other door had been opened previously and Mango was not inside the car. However, Mango's coat was left behind.

It seemed that the coat was almost completely soaked with blood.

At that moment, Nathaniel only felt as though his head was about to implode.

Did Mango get injured?

Where did she go?

Did she manage to escape?

But where could a frail woman like her escape to in this vast ocean?

Nathaniel hurriedly gathered Mango's coat into his arms. Furthermore, he wanted to keep searching for Mango but his body had finally succumbed to the stress and he fainted.

When Dylan arrived, he saw Nathaniel was floating inside the car and he was completely unconscious.

Furthermore, Dylan saw no sign of Mango and there were only a few strands of long hair by the car window.

After Dylan had collected everything, he pulled Nathaniel out of the ocean with him.

As soon as Nathaniel came ashore, he had a high fever.

The wound on his arm was seriously infected, and there were many grazes and scrapes on his body.

Abyss' face fell when he saw Nathaniel’s current state.

"Where's Mango? Where is she?"

Right now, Dylan couldn’t wait to punch Abyss into the freezing ocean.

"You'd better pray that Mango is fine. Otherwise, Nathaniel won’t be the only one wanting to send you to hell!"

Then, Dylan quickly contacted a hospital nearby so they could render aid to Nathaniel.

Meanwhile, when Queena saw Nathaniel and Dylan return, she felt uneasy.

"Wasn’t Mango down there?"

Dylan shook his head as he looked at Queena. “I reckon that she might have escaped. But it's so cold down there. The chances of survival for a frail woman like her are slim."

Indeed, Dylan just told the truth.

The temperature of the seawater could freeze a healthy man in minutes, let alone Mango when she first fell in.

The others might not know this, but Abyss knew.

He knew Mango's situation at the time.

Then, he couldn't help but speak.

"Mango was sedated at the time and she was unconscious. How is it possible for her to escape?"

"What did you just say?"

Dylan did not expect that Mango would have fallen into the ocean unconscious. Hence, he felt like he wanted to skin Abyss alive.

On the other hand, Queena’s body staggered and she collapsed to the floor in a heap.

"Sedated? Andrea did that! She sedated Mango earlier!"

Dylan’s body froze as he processed Queena's words in his mind. Soon, his expression was ghastly.

Initially, he had wanted to vouch for Andrea, but in the end, he did not say a word.

Then, Nathaniel had quickly whisked away for treatment. However, Dylan had the rescue team continued searching for Mango, and Abyss did so as well.

But as time went by, there was no sign of Mango at all.

Nathaniel’s high fever did not abate even after he entered the hospital. Furthermore, he constantly shouted Mango's name which made Queena feel very distressed.

Other than that, Dylan, who was like a madman, went down to the sea himself repeatedly. He swam far out to the depth of the sea each time, but he still could not find Mango.

Meanwhile, the long hair he brought back from the car was identified to be Mango’s.

Moreover, the blood on the coat that Nathaniel had brought back was also confirmed to be Mango’s.

In other words, Mango was probably not just unconscious when she fell to the depth of the ocean, but she was also seriously injured. The day and night passed.

At first, as Nathaniel woke up, he somewhat unaware of where he was. As his memory snapped back to life, he flung aside his blanket in a frenzy. He then straight grabbed an oxygen tank and jumped into the ocean again.

When Dylan came up, he saw Nathaniel's frenzied look. He wanted to stop Nathaniel, but there was nothing he could do.

Meanwhile, the doctor shouted after Nathaniel because he was unfit to dive again into the ocean. However, Nathaniel seemed could not be bothered. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

His only focus was to find Mango.

Nathaniel had mentioned earlier that he would take Mango back to their country and back home just within two days!

"But where are you now, Mango?"

Nathaniel shed tears as he was immersed in the frigid seawater.

Five years ago, he almost lost her. Now, a blind stroke of luck had reunited them, how could he afford to lose Mango again?

Thus, Nathaniel was so exhausted that he passed out in the ocean again.

Once again, Dylan dragged him ashore and he commanded the doctor to shackle Nathaniel to the bed. Hence, he did not allow Nathaniel to leave until he got better.

Another day passed, but there was still no news of Mango. By then, Abyss was on the verge of giving up and he even felt that Mango was no longer alive.

Mango was comatose and injured when she fell off the cliff. Furthermore, there was all manner of creatures lurking in the ocean. Hence, it would be impossible for a frail woman like her to escape.

Then, he began to withdraw the rescue team and he even left the cliff.

Meanwhile, Queena had waited by the sea for two days but Mango had not resurfaced. In fact, she had prepared for the worst in her heart.

Afterward, the authorities called her and they said that the maternity test results were out.

It was until then that Queena remembered that she had done a maternity test with Mango.

Then, she rushed back to the agency. The moment she got the test results, her hands were shaking.

The report showed a ninety-nine percent certainty that Mango shared familial relations with her.

In other words, Mango Shen was her daughter!

Indeed, Mango was Queena and Dennis’s child!

Actually, Queena had expected the result, but the result also made her not able to accept the fact.

After that, she took the test results back to the villa and she suddenly burst into tears.

The love of her life was Dennis, and the daughter she had searched tirelessly for was Mango. However, Queena had lost both of them now.

To make matters worse, Mango was indirectly killed by Andrea! Thus, Queena could not bear to witness this chain of events.

She sobbed so devastatingly that she frightened Lawrence and Andrea who had come to visit her.

At first, Lawrence had no idea what Andrea had done and he only found out after she returned from her surgery.

Although he was uncertain what Mango meant to Queena, Lawrence did not delay his efforts to investigate someone who had caused Queena such grief.

Earlier on, he investigated Mango's identity and found that she was Nathaniel's wife and the woman that Abyss wanted. The relationship between Nathaniel and Dylan concerned Lawrence, so he

brought Andrea here to own up to her mistakes. However, he did not expect to find Queena in such a disheveled state.

"Queena, what's wrong with you?"

"Mom, what happened?"

Both Andrea and Lawrence were scared.

When Queena heard Andrea's voice, she pushed her daughter away.

"Get out! From now on, you’ re no longer my daughter! Get the hell out of my house!"

At that moment, Queena despised Andrea so much that she wanted to rip Andrea to pieces.

Andrea was frightened while Lawrence was confused.

"Queena, what's wrong with you? We can talk this through, Andrea is our daughter and you’ll scare her if you’re like this!"

"She's not my child! She's a demon! She’s the one that killed my daughter!"

Hence, Queena's incoherent words hurt Andrea very much.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Look at me, I’m your real daughter!"

"Get the hell out of my way!"

Queena picked up the object nearest to her and she hurled them at Andrea.

Andrea caught it instinctively. Furthermore, the object happened to be the maternity test results that Queena had just gotten.

When Andrea read the test results, she was stunned.

"How is this possible? How could Mango be your daughter? Am I not your only daughter with dad?”

Andrea's words made Lawrence's expression changed.

Then, he quickly took the maternity test report and he realized something as he read it.

Meanwhile, Queena simultaneously cried and laughed like a madman.

"The man I loved the most in my life died on the battlefield, and I lost the only child he left me, I thought I would never see them again in this life, but God took pity on me and he brought my beloved child to my doorstep. But you, Andrea, how could you be so heartless? Why did you sedate her? Do you know someone drove the car she was in into the ocean? She was unconscious and injured in the freezing depths of the ocean. Don’t you know that you indirectly murdered your sister?"

On the other hand, Andrea couldn't accept Queena's words.

"What? She's definitely not my sister! You only gave birth to me, didn't you? Mom, Mango’s not your daughter, but I am!"

Andrea wanted to embrace Queena, but Queena avoided her.

"I gave birth to you because I didn’t have a choice! If you didn’t threaten my life back then, I wouldn’t have brought you into this world. If I knew then that you would kill my beloved child, I’d have rather strangled and died along with you!"

"Queena, what nonsense are you talking about?"

As he saw Andrea's face fall, Lawrence tried his best to stop Queena from saying any more. However, Queena was in the depths of her despair and all she wanted was to rip Andrea to shred. Thus, would Queena even care about Andrea’s feelings right now?
