The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

"Hey ma'am, can I take a look at your mobile phone?"

Mango couldn't help but come forward and she alarmed the lady boss by her question.

"What the hell are you looking at? Do you think you can look at my phone whenever you want? Do you know how much this cell phone costs? If you damage it, you'll have to pay for it." "Okay, I'll pay for it!"

"Even if you pay me, I won't show it to you. Are you gonna check-in or what? If you want to stay, then register, but if you want to ask for directions, then get out."

The landlady's attitude towards Mango was obviously not as good as her attitude towards Walter. Furthermore, Mango was so beautiful that she was repelled even more. Mango didn't seem to mind at all as she smiled and said, "My lovely lady, I'm going to stay here. You don't have a reason to chase your guests out, do you?"

"Pay and register. I'm telling you beforehand that I don't care whether you are staying in or not, either way, you have to pay first."

The landlady was slightly in a better mood after being called 'lovely' by Mango.

Then, Mango continued with a smile, "Sure, I'll pay the fee for ten days, alright?"

"You want to live here for ten days? What are you doing here?"

The landlady asked all of a sudden.

This place was a desolate and remote place and it wasn't a tourist attraction. From the looks of it, Mango didn't seem to be dressed like someone from the area. Why did she have to stay here for ten days? Hence, she couldn't help but think of Walter not long ago.

The man was also well dressed and generous, but unfortunately...

Thinking of this, the landlady suddenly said, "I just remembered that our hotel is full and there is no room. So, I'll advise you to try your luck with the other hotels. You can try the Equatorial Hotel which is five kilometers south from here, and it even has a better environment."

When she saw that the landlady kept pushing her away, Mango started to think.

"Ma'am, I see that you don't have many guests here, so why don't you have any rooms available? It's not that I refused to pay, so what are you doing?" "Why do you care? I just don't want you to live here. Get out now!"

Hearing that, the landlady turned her face away from Mango.

Mango's eyes narrowed slightly and she grabbed the wrist of the landlady when she reached her hand towards Mango.

"Ouch! It hurts! Let me go! I'm telling you, I'm not someone to be trifled with. If you don't let go, I'll make you pay!"

The landlady was extremely fierce, but to Mango, it was nothing but a mere annoyance.

She reached out her other hand and snatched the phone from the landlady's hand. Then, she held it and took a look at the phone.

The landlady shouted at once.

"Give my phone back to me, or I'll call the police!"

"Your phone? Are you sure it's yours? Do you even know what's the passcode of the phone?"

Mango's mocking words made the landlady's face even more unpleasant.

"I just forgot what it was, is that a crime?"

"Of course not! But this doesn't seem to be your mobile phone. If you want to say it's yours, then let's go directly to the police station to settle this. You don't know the passcode for the phone, but I do!"

As she spoke, Mango unlocked the phone in front of the landlady.

Then, the landlady's face suddenly changed.

"Y...you"

"Where is my friend?"

Mango's face suddenly turned grave and her grip strength increased.

Meanwhile, the landlady felt that her hand was about to be broken.

"Let me go first and I will tell you!"

The landlady's gaze shifted uneasily.

Mango could tell that she was actually thinking of something. Perhaps she would run away the moment Mango let go of her, but this was what Mango actually wanted.

She pretended that she did not see through the landlady's thoughts and whispered, "If I let you go, will you tell me where my friend is?"

"Yes! As long as you let me go, I'll tell you!"

The landlady begged.

Mango hesitated for a moment before letting go of her hand.

At this moment, the landlady suddenly sprinkled something similar to flour or lime powder towards Mango.

Even though Mango was prepared, she had no choice but to take a step back and close her eyes.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the landlady immediately rushed out and ran away somewhere.

On the other hand, Mango wiped her face, showing indifference in her eyes.

She glanced at her phone and confirmed that the last call on the call log was indeed the phone number of the hotel.

That was to say, the landlady definitely knew where Walter went.

At the thought of this, Mango quickly followed behind her. Unfortunately, the landlady escaped so fast that she was nowhere to be seen.

Mango was a little annoyed, as she never thought that she would let someone like the landlady escape from her clutches.

She searched around again, but Mango still couldn't find her.

Just as she was feeling discouraged, she suddenly noticed that people had circled around the river.

Mango was a little curious and she walked over to have a look.

"What's going on?"

"Someone's dead in the river."

A child bluntly told Mango about it.

Then, Mango's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be Nathaniel or Walter?

She quickly passed through the crowd with a strong sense of uneasiness in her and she saw a little girl aged around ten years old lying on the floor.

Her body had turned a little pale after being soaked in the river water.

Mango was a mother and she had children as well. When she saw this, her heart somehow twitched a little.

Just as Mango was about to leave, she suddenly noticed that the clothes on the little girl's body seemed to be clothes worn by the Ocean City Shooting Club.

Was she the one who had been sold off?

Mango's heart trembled slightly and she looked at the girl carefully again. Then, she noticed that her eyes were moving a little.

"She's still alive?" Mango thought.

Mango went up quickly, squatted down, and quickly laid her fingers under the little girl's nose as she ignored the gossip from the people around her.

The little girl's breathing was already very weak, to the point where Mango was almost unable to feel it.

Then, Mango made a prompt decision by carrying the little girl and growled, "She is still alive! Where is the hospital? Can someone call an ambulance?" This little girl was the key to everything.

Nathaniel followed her here. Now that she was here and in this sorry state, what about Nathaniel and Walter?

There were too many doubts in Mango's heart, but right now, there wasn't a single revelation.

Perhaps this little girl was the breakthrough she needed.

However, no one around her made a call to an ambulance.

Thus, Mango had no choice but to carry the little girl and run towards the nearest hospital.

When she arrived at the hospital and a doctor saw the little girl in Mango's arms, she pinched her nose and said, "What's the point of bringing someone who's already dead? Hurry up and leave!" "She's still alive and breathing! Doctor, hurry up and save her!"

Mango was very anxious, but the doctor refused to do so.

"Still alive? Are you a doctor or I am? Look at her skin, it's already pale. So, she's definitely dead. Just leave."

As she spoke, the doctor kept trying to drive Mango away.

Mango was so angry that she grabbed the doctor's fingers with all of her strength.

"I'm telling you to save her!"

Most of the time, it was hard to get the point across with some scumbags.

The doctor screamed in pain, but she couldn't get away. Only then did she realize that she had provoked someone powerful.

"Ma'am, let go of me first. How can I cure her if you don't?"

Alas, Mango had already been tricked once.

In this city, even though it looked remote and simple, the people here really weren't as good as they might seem.

Then, Mango directly picked up a scalpel by the side and pressed it against the doctor's neck.

"Just treat her. If I see any hint of carelessness in you, I'll turn you into a real corpse. You can try me if you don't believe me."

Mango looked so murderous at that moment, and the doctor was so scared that her legs were trembling.

"Ma'am, this is not a joke. The scalpel is very sharp, so put it down quickly!"

"Cut the crap. Hurry up and save her!"

Mango did not want to talk too much with her. The scalpel was slightly pushed forward, and a stream of warm liquid instantly seeped out of her neck.

Then, the doctor's face turned pale.

She clearly understood that Mango wasn't joking with her. Perhaps she would really kill her.

The doctor trembled in fear while she sent the little girl to the operating theatre.

Originally, the doctor had planned to keep Mango at bay by using the reason that outsiders were not allowed to enter the operating theatre. However, when she saw the stern expression in Mango's eyes, she changed her mind.

"You need to wear scrubs to go in with me. Otherwise, it's easy for the girl to be infected during the operation, and I can't guarantee that I can save the child."

Of course, Mango knew this as well. Without

saying another word, she put on the sterile scrubs.

The doctor noticed that Mango was quick and agile and, so she whispered, "Can you be my assistant for the time being? All the nurses are out for training courses. This is a small town and there are not many of them, so..."

"Hurry up and get started, and I'll just do whatever you say."

Mango's voice was full of indifference, but it still made the doctor let out a sigh of relief.

She began to examine the little girl's body instantly.

Mango, who was watching from the side, noticed that the little girl's throat had turned dark. She then asked, "What's going on?"

"Someone poisoned her. Ma'am, under such circumstances, I really can't guarantee that I can save her."

"Do your best, and the rest is up to God. If I know that you tried your best, I won't make things difficult for you. But if I find out that you didn't, then don't fault me for being merciless."

"Sure, sure."

The doctor broke out in a cold sweat as she began to treat the little girl.

Mango was always by her side.

In fact, she was also anxious and even wanted to find the missing landlady, but now the little girl's life was in critical condition and it was related to the whereabouts of Nathaniel and Walter, so she had to calm down and wait.

The medicinal effects in her body began to subside and Mango felt a strong sense of fatigue from her body. She even wanted to lie down right there to rest, but she couldn't.

Mango took a deep breath and felt that her strength was constantly draining out of her body. If it continued like this, it was very likely that she would collapse here and no one knew what would happen next. She glanced at the doctor and found that the doctor was trying her best to save the little girl.

It would be impossible for her to stop now, but her physical exhaustion was getting more serious and even her eyelids were almost about to slide closed at any moment.

What should she do?

Right now, Mango truly hoped that there would be someone by her side who would be able to replace her in waiting for the girl to wake up.

Then, Mango's legs went limp. In order to prevent the doctor from realizing it, she had to hold on to the armrest beside her. However, at this moment, her vision suddenly blacked out, and her body involuntarily stooped and collapsed right in front of the doctor.
