The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

"No! Walter, no!"

Novalee had never hated her incompetence until this moment.

"I would not have become Walter's weakness if I'm a little more skilled and if I'm not so weak, would I?"

Walter definitely had the competence to deal with all these people if it weren't for her and he would never have to suffer all these.

However, Walter bore their torture and did not fight back at all. The way he looked at Novalee was so gentle that her tears could not help but fell down.

"Don't cry, Novalee, don't cry..."

Walter still looked at her with a gentle look.

Novalee cried and became out of breath as she watched Walter lying on the ground and shuddering in pain with a pool of blood around him.

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting! You'll kill him if you keep hitting him! Stop! All of you, stop!"

Novalee struggled and even bit the man's wrist. At that point, she didn't care about the dagger slitting through her face as warm blood seeped out her skin and she felt a burning sensation. Suddenly, she hit the man with her head.

At that moment, the man saw stars in his vision as he was light-headed and he couldn't stand steadily.

He didn't expect a woman's hit to be so hard.

Novalee broke free from the man's grasp before she squatted down and picked up the phone as quickly as she could to call the police.

"Help! We are in the underground parking lot on Regent Street and someone is trying to commit a murder crime here!"

Novalee cried and shouted as her voice echoed through the underground parking lot.

Then, the man quickly stopped and looked at Novalee with hatred as if they were about to hit her when they heard that she had called the police in the middle of their fight. The man who took Novalee hostage just now shouted all of a sudden.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and retreat!"

"This b*tch..."

"Our boss said to not harm this woman as he only wants the life of this man. Retreat quickly!"

The man ran away as soon as he said that.

Then, Novalee ran to Walter like crazy and she cried heavily when she saw Walter surrounded by a pool of blood.

"How do you feel, Walter? Don't scare me... Walter!"

It was only now that she realized how much she cherished and valued Walter deep down without her noticing.

Perhaps it happened when Walter blocked Dakari's men, or perhaps it happened earlier.

Novalee had no clue and she just felt so distressed at this moment that she couldn't breathe.

On the other hand, Walter felt pain all over his body.

He could feel that his ribs were broken, but he didn't know how severe his injury was and his lungs were also seriously wounded.

Those people were really ruthless as they kicked the most important parts of his body and Walter might not be able to sustain his life any longer if he hadn't been trained before.

Nevertheless, he could tell that those people really wanted him to die.

Walter looked at Novalee as she was crying and she no longer seemed capable and decisive as she was before at this moment.

He suddenly felt a warmth in his heart.

It turned out that the feeling of being cared for and valued by someone else was so wonderful. Although he felt pain throughout his body and it was incredibly difficult for him to breathe, he still felt very loved at this moment.

He held Novalee's hand and said weakly, "Call an ambulance, Novalee... Don't cry as I'm fine..."

However, Novalee cried even more sadly as she took her mobile phone and quickly called the ambulance.

Soon, the ambulance arrived.

Novalee watched the doctor and nurse carry Walter into the van and she quickly followed him to the hospital.

Walter was sent into the emergency room.

Novalee seemed to have loss her pillar and she didn't know what to do.

She had never experienced such a thing... What should she do?

Suddenly, Novalee thought of Mango as she was in a panic.

She quickly took out her phone and sent a message to Mango.

"Ms. Shen, Walter caught into an accident. Could you please prepay me my salary?" On the other side, Mango and Nathaniel had just buried Nanny Zhang and although Nathaniel's mood was still rather down, he had already let it go.

He had done everything he could for Nanny Zhang as a son.

On the other hand, Zion went for a stroll along with Dr. Soo.

Mango was stunned when she received Novalee's message at this time and she became nervous when she saw the content of her message.

"What's wrong?"

Nathaniel couldn't help but ask when he saw that Mango's expression changed.

Then, Mango said quickly, "Something happened to Walter and Novalee requested an advance salary... She wouldn't ask me to prepay her salary on normal occasions." "So, are you saying that we should go there?"

"Yes, Walter is our friend and he came here because of me. Nathan, it's impossible for me to leave him alone now that something like this has

"

"I didn't say that I don't care... Why are you looking at me like this?"

Nathaniel touched Mango's head and looked at her as he said with a smile.

"That's not what I meant. I'm saying that... Come on, you know it..."

Mango felt that Nathaniel definitely did it on purpose.

Then, Nathaniel chuckled and said, "Give her the salary first as I guess that she really needs the money now and it will take an hour for us to fly there by plane. What if we can't make it in time?" "Okay, I'll transfer the money to her."

Then, Mango quickly replied to Novalee's message.

"What happened to Walter? How much do you need?"

Novalee was so agitated that tears once again flowed down her face when she received Mango's reply.

She wrote, "It's hard to say as Walter and I were besieged by strangers and he never fought back in order to save me. He was beaten up so badly that he's admitted into the hospital. I think his injury is quite serious and he is now in the emergency room of the Central Hospital. Ms. Shen, I'm sorry... I'm really sorry."

"Silly girl, don't say sorry to me as Walter saved you voluntarily and I don't think anyone forced him, right? So Novalee, you don't have to apologize as you don't owe anyone. Listen to me, I will transfer 1 million dollars for you now and Nathan and I will go right away. We can talk about it when we meet."

Mango quickly raised her head as she wanted to say something to Nathaniel after she finished replying to the message. However, Nathaniel had already gone to the car.

"Get on the car. It's not too late to go back and pack up now and I've already booked the earliest flight on my phone. We still have half an hour's time before the takeoff, so we have to hurry up." Mango felt a sense of gratitude after she heard Nathaniel's words.

"Nathan, it's so nice to have you."

"It's nothing, let's go."

Although Nathaniel said so, he couldn't help but smile and he was obviously in a good mood.

Then, the two of them quickly returned to the dorm and Nathaniel called Dr. Soo to tell him to take good care of Zion while they were packing. At the same time, he also asked Zion to investigate the surveillance video of the parking lot.

Nathaniel drove Mango to the airport after everything was arranged and they arrived at the place that Novalee mentioned about an hour later.

"How is it? Has Walter come out of the operating room?"

Novalee was stunned when she heard Mango's voice.

"Ms. Shen, your voice cord recovered?"

"This is not important now... How's Walter?"

Then, Novalee reacted immediately after hearing Mango's ds.

"Right, right, Walter has been inside for more than an hour now and he has not come out yet. I only saw bags of blood being sent in... Ms. Shen, will he..."

"No!"

Mango abruptly interrupted Novalee's words.

Would something happen to Walter?

Definitely not!

At that instant, her body was trembling.

Nathaniel stepped forward and held her shoulders tightly as he whispered, "Don't worry, that kid is tough and it shouldn't be a big problem if it was just punches and kicks. He would only break a few ribs at most and you should know that he has been trained."

Hearing Nathaniel's words, Novalee immediately said, "Those people are ruthless. I saw that he was covered in blood and I..."

"What do you mean that he was covered by blood?"

Mango asked immediately.

"I don't know, the people punched and kicked him, but I have no idea why Walter's body is covered with blood."

Novalee cried again as she spoke.

"It's all my fault... It's all my fault! He wouldn't have become like this if I wasn't his burden..."

"Don't blame yourself, I believe that Walter will be fine."

Mango tried to comfort Novalee, but she wasn't quite sure about it either deep down in her heart.

Then, it didn't take long before the light of the emergency room went off.

Novalee was the first to rush to the doctor when he came out.

"Doctor, how is he?"

"Are you the patient's family?"

The doctor's words made Mango and Novalee paused for a moment.

Under normal circumstances, it would mean that the patient's condition was very serious if a doctor said this and that something bad might have happened.

At that instant, Novalee almost fell to the ground.

Mango quickly held her up.

"Doctor, we are his closest friends... What's wrong with him? Can you tell us?"

Mango's words made the doctor paused for a moment before he said, "It's best for the patient's relatives to be her as he had lost too much blood and three of his ribs are broken. There are also some blood clots in his lungs and he needs to rest for quite some time. What's on earth happened to him? There are nearly hundreds of large and small cuts all over the patient's body and he could have died of excessive bleeding if he was sent in 10 minutes late."

"What do you mean that he has hundreds of big and small cuts?"

Mango's brows were tightly knitted together.

Then, the doctor sighed and said, "The other party might have had a blade in their hand and they cut the patient's body while kicking and beating him, causing the patient to lose an excessive amount of blood.' Mango's expression sank after she heard the doctor's words.

Who was it?

Who on earth was so vicious?

Such actions were definitely going to take Walter's life!

Mango's hands were clasped tightly together, while Novalee was crying in extreme sadness as she felt really unsettled.

"Doctor, is he out of danger now?"

"I can't say that he is out of danger and it depends whether he will have a fever within 24 hours from today to tomorrow. Someone must stay by his side and not leave him at all."

"I'll stay, I'll stay..."

Novalee said hurriedly.

Mango didn't argue with her as she urgently wanted to know now who was against Walter, or did Walter mess with someone else after she left?

Nathaniel clenched Mango's hands when he saw that she was lost in thought and he quickly grabbed her shoulder as he whispered, "Zion has already gone to check the surveillance camera. Believe me, we will find the person who hurt Walter and I will support you no matter what you do at that time."

Then, Mango looked at Nathaniel as she bit her lower lips and nodded.

At this moment, Nathaniel's cell phone rang.

He saw from the caller ID that it was a call from

Zion.

Had Zion found some clues?
