The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Haniya was missing!

When Mango realized this, Haniya was already nowhere to be found.

Desmond's brows were tightly knitted together. When he saw Mango searching everywhere for Haniya, he finally couldn't hold back anymore and said, "She might have left on her own." "No, she won't!"

Mango replied subconsciously. However, she felt that something wasn't quite right. She hurriedly turned around to look at Desmond and asked, "Why are you so sure?"

"I told her not to waste her time on me. I think she might be shy and ashamed, so she must've left by herself."

When Mango heard Desmond's words, she was so angry that she wanted to kill him.

"I know you don't like Haniya, but she has not done anything wrong to you by liking you, right? Why can't you say this after we're back in Ocean City?"

When Desmond heard Mango's question, he said word by word, "My heart is dead, so I'd rather let her come to her senses early and find her true love instead of giving her hope and wasting her time. I'm not the right person for her."

"Even so, she's not in a hurry!"

Mango was angry and anxious.

Nathaniel was afraid that her baby would be affected when he saw her like this. He quickly comforted her and said, "Well, you can't get involved in other people's relationships. Since Desmond said so, let's call and ask if Haniya had bought a flight ticket."

However, Mango shook her head and said, "She won't leave. Even if Desmond gave her a hard time, she wouldn't leave without saying a word. I understand her and she's a very responsible person. I'm still here, and her job is to take care of me. She's not going to leave without telling me."

Nathaniel's brows knitted together after he saw that Mango was so sure of Haniya.

"Desmond, where did you see Haniya?"

"The back alley."

"Let's go and have a look."

Nathaniel was about to walk over when Mango followed him.

"I'll go and have a look too. I'm feeling particularly uneasy."

Nathaniel knew Mango's temper, so he didn't try to persuade her otherwise. Instead, he draped a coat over her and followed Desmond to the back alley.

This place was dark and quiet.

Mango and Nathaniel observed the place carefully, but Mango tripped over something beneath her feet.

She lifted her leg and looked at it with her cell phone's light. Only then did she realize that it was Haniya's cell phone.

"It's Haniya's cell phone! She would've brought her cell phone along with her if she had left herself!"

Nathaniel immediately understood something after he heard what Mango had said.

"Haniya was kidnapped."

"But she's not a rich woman. Why would anyone kidnap her?"

Desmond blamed himself a little.

He could have just brought Haniya back with him when he left, but it was too late to say anything now.

"She might not be kidnapped because of money. Sometimes, it might be just because she is a woman. There are many people who can't get married in remote mountainous areas..." Mango didn't say anything else, but everyone understood what she meant.

"It might not be what you think, maybe Sophia's subordinates."

Nathaniel comforted her.

Mango wanted to laugh, but she couldn't.

"Sophia's accomplices can kidnap me, my mother, and even Bettany, but not Haniya. Let's call the police. Haniya is under me, and I really don't want anything to happen to her." "I'll go."

It might be because Desmond felt that he was to be blamed, so he volunteered to call the police and started to look for Haniya.

Mango was a little tired. She said in a low voice while she leaned against Nathaniel', "Did I do something wrong? Haniya probably wouldn't have gotten into trouble if I hadn't brought her here." "There are so many possibilities in this world and these things are fated to be. Don't think too much about it, Mango."

Mango said in a low voice, "I thought I was matured and smart, but I didn't expect that I would still be used by Sophia. Nathan, why do you think the human heart is so complicated and so unpredictable?" "Don't think about it too much. You'd better take a good rest. Grandpa will arrive in the afternoon and mom's things are also packed up. Her condition is not very stable, so you'd better take care of yourself. Mom will worry about you and I will also be distressed if you fall ill."

Nathaniel held Mango in his arms.

Mango seemed to be really tired. She let Nathaniel hold her and whispered, "Do you know how Marissa died?"

"I know, I heard it from Desmond, but we don't need to be envious of that kind of love. What we need is a simple life, and we will be together for a lifetime. Don't be affected by them, okay? No matter what, I wil be there as long as you need me."

Mango felt better after hearing what Nathaniel had said.

She lay in Nathaniel's arms and whispered, "Nathan, I am tired. I want to sleep. You must find Haniya when I am resting."

"Alright, I promise you that you'll be able to see her by the time you open your eyes."

Nathaniel promised.

Mango finally fell asleep.

It wasn't that she didn't care about Haniya, and it wasn't that she didn't want to see Haniya in person. It was just that her body really couldn't hold on any longer.

Her body was exhausted after such a long flight. After getting off the plane, she had to fight against Sophia, then, her mood fluctuated too much when she saw Queena and she would have been knocked out long ago if she didn't resist the fatigue.

Nathaniel's heart ached even more when he saw how tired Mango was.

Fortunately, these things finally had a perfect ending.

It was said that Isla was arrested while she was in contact with her men. All the people related to the case were caught and Sophia was taken away by the military.

Walter returned home and locked himself up. He didn't see anyone for a whole day before he regained former playboy antiques when he came out of the room. Nathaniel knew the days that he and Mango were looking forward to had arrived.

When Mango's body had recovered a little, he would bring the children back from the military region. Their whole family would live a happy life. Nathaniel carried Mango onto the bed.

Queena asked with some concern, "What's wrong with the Mango?"

"She's too tired because she didn't rest after she got on the plane. She is in a tense state and her mind needs a rest."

Queena felt particularly distressed when she heard what Nathaniel had said.

"It's my fault. I'm the one who made her worry. This child really surprised me."

"There's nothing to be surprise of. You're her mother and she loves you." Nathaniel's words made Queena nod.

Mango was still asleep and she had not woken up even when Brantley arrived.

Queena felt a little awkward and overwhelmed when she looked at Brantley, but she still called him Dad. Brantley burst into tears out of excitement. "You finally called me, you finally recognized me."

Brantley cried like a child.

Queena suddenly realized that everything she had done all these years was so ridiculous. Now when she was finally hugging her father, she finally cried.

Bettany was packing her things and everyone was waiting for her to return to Ocean City. However, Nathaniel knew that Mango wouldn't leave if Haniya was not found.

He asked his people to protect them, and he went

out to look for her with Desmond and the others.

Mango didn't see Nathaniel when she woke up.

Mango was very relieved when she saw that Queena had reconciled with Brantley. At the same time, she quickly called Nathaniel.

Mango was extremely worried when no one answered the phone.

As time went by, Brantley and Queena were afraid that Mango's mood would fluctuate too much. However, they didn't know what to say when they saw Mango's silent expression. Nathaniel and Desmond came back finally came back at 11 o'clock at night.

Desmond was holding Haniya, who was unconscious in his arms.

"Haniya..."

Mango immediately stood up in excitement.

Nathaniel was afraid that she would fall, so he hurriedly held her hand.

"What happened to Haniya? Where did you find her?"

Desmond's face didn't look good and he whispered, "I'll take her back to her room to rest first." "Haniya..."

Mango wanted to ask more, but Nathaniel stopped her.

"Let's go back and rest. It's late."

Mango understood that Nathaniel didn't want her to ask Desmond.

Both of them returned to their rooms.

Mango asked in an anxious tone, "What exactly is going on? Where did you find Haniya?"

"She was found in a mountain area more than a hundred kilometres away from here. You guessed it correctly. Haniya was knocked out and she was sold to the mountainous area to be someone else's wife. We called the police and provided some information in time, so we traced her all the way there. However, Haniya was still slightly injured even though we went there very quickly. Then, she wanted to run away when she woke up and discovered her situation, so her legs were then broken by someone."

"What!?"

Mango felt extremely angry when she heard what Nathaniel said.

"Have you caught those people who wanted to sell her?"

"Don't worry, we've caught all of them. Not a single one of them escaped."

"It's so awful! How could there be such detestable people!"

Mango had experienced such a thing before, so she naturally knew how desperate and scared Haniya must have been back then.

"She already broke her tailbone, and now her legs are broken. How can I make it up to Haniya?"

"Don't be like that, Mango. It's not your fault. I've already asked Desmond to call Bettany over. I really hope that Bettany can cure her."

Nathaniel was also very upset by this matter, but he knew that Mango was even more troubled.

"I want to see Haniya."

"Probably tomorrow. It's too late today. Besides, Haniya's pain is too severe. I got a doctor from the police station to stabilize her on the way, so she probably won't wake up before tomorrow morning. Why don't you let her rest for the night? Can you talk to her tomorrow?"

"Alright."

Mango could see that Nathaniel was worried for her.

The two of them didn't fall asleep for the whole night. Mango couldn't sleep properly as she kept on having dreams of Haniya crying and screaming for help.

She woke up and she was short of breath. There was a layer of cold sweat on her body, so she couldn't help but shiver when she felt the morning breeze.

Mango wanted to get out of bed and wash up, but as soon as she lifted the blanket, an ear-piercing scream rang through the entire room.

"Haniya!"

Mango suddenly pulled back the blanket and ran out barefooted.
