The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 203

Next, Mango told Nathaniel about the Dark Night Empire.

Naturally, Nathaniel was shocked.

"Huh? Are you saying that Nick is still alive? I still have my uncle, my father's twin brother?"

He never thought that the Ye Family had such a complicated background.

Hence, Mango nodded and she said, "That's what mom said. Plus, the ring that I have received from her symbolized that she has handed the Dark Night Empire over to me. What's more, she told me that Zion was taken away by Nick."

"Nick took him away?"

Nathaniel felt confused.

"Did Mom do this to protect Zion? Or was it for some other purpose?" Nathaniel thought to himself.

Then, Mango sighed softly and she told Nathaniel about the fact that Zion had been chosen to be the heir of the Dark Night Empire.

Nathaniel replied in a low voice, "No wonder I can't find any information about Zion anywhere. It's clear to me now why mom was so indifferent towards Zion while she was so concerned about Rita. Turns out there's a reason for that. So, Mom has been shouldering this burden alone for so many years."

"Yeah, it was supposed to be a shared burden between husband and wife, but after your father died, the responsibility was hers alone. What's more, Nanny Zhang had you and Nick under her control. So, she had to play nice with her to keep you two safe."

It was not until this moment that Mango knew that it wasn't easy for Madam Ye.

In truth, if things happend to her, she did not know if she would be able to bear such a heavy burden.

Naturally, Nathaniel became even more upset.

His birth mother was only after the Ye Family fortune, and she only gave birth to him and Nick to use as her bargaining chips. Hence, everyone was just a pawn to Nanny Zhang.

Then, he felt sad.

"Did Mom tell you how to contact the people of the Dark Night Empire?"

Right now, Nathaniel felt that he could not trust any of the Ye Family's people in Ocean City for fear that they were working for Nanny Zhang. Now that he knew of the existence of the Dark Night Empire, he placed his hopes in that instead.

Mango shook her head and she said, "Mom was very tired at that time, so I didn't ask about it in detail. I didn't expect such a thing to happen."

"I'll ask Dylan to check it out first."

Hence, Nathaniel could only turn to Dylan for help now.

After that, he prepared a meal for Mango and he left her to eat alone. Then, he headed out by himself. On the other hand, Madam Ye and Rita's meals were prepared by the hospital. When Mango sent the food over to them, Madam Ye had already woken up and she had gone to Rita's room out of boredom.

Thus, Mango could not help but laugh when she saw that the three of them were having fun.

"Time to eat!"

"Mommy!"

Rita's spirits were obviously much better than before.

"How is it? Does it still hurt?"

Next, Mango touched Rita's head with some distress and she asked.

"It doesn't hurt anymore. This machine is amazing. Mommy, when I grow up, I want to be a doctor. I want to heal patients like me."

Then, Rita patted herself on the chest as she spoke.

"Okay, I'm sure you will be a good doctor in the future."

After that, Mango served them the food.

"Mom, the doctor said that you can only eat light foods. Nathan made this himself, so try some."

Next, Mango passed the food that Nathaniel had made to Madam Ye.

Madam Ye smiled and she said, "This is what Nathan made for you. Wouldn't it be a waste if you gave it to an old lady like me?"

"Mom, what are you talking about? It's not a waste because he also made some for you. Look, there's still so much leftover."

Clearly, Mango was a little embarrassed by the old lady's words.

At that, Madam Ye smiled happily.

Meanwhile, Wisdom peeked over with some gluttony and found that there was no roast pork, he then pouted and said, "Oh, is it so hard to get braised pork here?"

"Is braised pork delicious?"

Due to Rita's poor health, she had never eaten greasy foods. Thus, she could not help but ask Wisdom curiously as she heard his words.

"Of course it's delicious! It's the best thing in the world!"

Obviously, Wisdom looked forward to eating it very much. As he spoke, his saliva drooled from his mouth.

Madam Ye pointed at him and he said, "All you eat is meat! Look at how fat you are! Tell me, how many braised pork do you think your plump body can make?"

"Mommy, look at Grandma, she actually wants to make me into braised pork! If you do that, you will have no grandson."

Next, Wisdom quickly covered his head with his hands and he ran over to Rita.

At this, Rita burst into laughter.

She had been alone ever since she was a child. Now, she not only had Brother Wisdom, but also her grandma, mommy, and daddy. Thus, she felt really happy.

"Mommy, when will brother come back? I miss him."

Mango and Madam Ye froze as they heard Rita's words.

"Your brother hasn't recovered from his illness so he still needs to rest."

Hence, Mango had no choice but to say this.

Then, Rita wrinkled her nose and she said, "But it's been a long time since he last had a video call with me. Can't he have a video call with me even though he's sick? I've almost forgotten what he looks like."

"How can you forget? You can see it in the mirror every day."

Next, Mango said with a smile.

However, Rita was disappointed. She said, "That's not the same thing. Although we look the same, my brother is healthier and he looks better than me."

"Silly girl, you can be as healthy as your brother after you recover."

"Really?"

"Of course."

Nevertheless, Mango smiled, but she felt sad.

In truth, she had not seen Zion for a long time as well.

As she saw this, Madam Ye did not say anything. Instead, she picked up the bowl and she took a bite.

"Well, I have to admit that Nathan is really good at cooking."

Her words had attracted everyone's attention. "Really? I want to taste daddy's cooking too."

Next, Rita was about to get up as she spoke.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Instead, Madam Ye quickly came to her and she said, "Don't move, there is still a drip attached to you. Come, let grandma feed you."

After that, she sat next to Rita and she patiently fed Rita mouthful by mouthful.

"Well, it is really delicious."

Rita was full of praise for her father's cooking.

"I want some too!"

Additionally, Wisdom was also unwilling to be left out.

Thus, Madam Ye fed Rita and Wisdom, alternating between the two of them. The warm scene moved Mango, and she could not help but think of her parents.

Where were they now?

Moreover, Madam Ye was good at making the children laughed. After the meal, the old lady said to Mango, "Come with me, I feel like getting some sunshine."

"All right then."

Then, Mango searched for a wheelchair, but she was stopped by Madam Ye.

"Why do I need a wheelchair? It's not like I can't move. Let's just walk around, it'll be fine."

"I'm just afraid that you'll be tired."

Mango said this sentence with a smile, but she did not force her to sit in the wheelchair. After that, the two of them arrived at the garden behind the hospital.

The flowers here were beautiful.

Madam Ye said with a smile, "I like the daffodils the most. At the time, your father-in-law always brought me a whole load of daffodils. Since he passed away, no one else has given them to me."

"Mom, if you like it, I'll ask Thomas to buy some right away. I'll even get you a room full of them."

Mango's words made Madam Ye laugh.

"You're good with your words, aren't you?"

"But I'm serious."

"Do you miss Zion?"

Suddenly, Madam Ye changed the topic, which caught Mango off guard. Nevertheless, she nodded.

"Yes, I miss him. After all, he had lost so much blood when he disappeared. I don't know how he is now."

"If you want to see him, just do it. You are now the head of the Empire, there's no one you can't see."

However, the old lady's words made Mango feel cold.

"Can I really see him?"

"Why not? I miss Nick too. Do you think that I've never seen him at all over the years?"

The old lady shook her head and she said, "Truly, you are as smart as you are dumb. If I never told, then would you not ask me about it? If I handed over the Dark Night Empire to you without telling you how to contact them, then what's the point?"

After she heard Madam Ye's words, Mango was somewhat embarrassed.

"I just didn't think of that."

"Why not? Are you too busy being in love with Nathan?"

Thus, Madam Ye's words made Mango's face blush red.

"Of course not, mom. That's nonsense."

"Is it really nonsense? I heard that you spent the whole afternoon in the kitchen with him before he had to carry you out."

Then, Madam Ye looked at Mango teasingly.

Mango felt as if her face was on fire.

"No, mom, it's not what you think."

"Well, then I admit that I overthought the whole thing, okay?"

The old lady laughed again, and it was clear that she was very happy.

Thus, Mango did not dare to say anything else.

Truly, it was embarrassing to be teased by your own mother-in-law.

After the old lady saw Mango become shy, she stopped teasing her. Then, she said with a smile, "You should give me another grandchild when both of you are still young while I'm still alive. The Ye Family has always been small, and if you two can expand it, it would be much better like that."

"Mom..." At that, Mango's face turned redder.

Then, Madam Ye laughed again, but she said in a low voice, "If you want to use the power of the Dark Night Empire, go to the Fallen Paradise."

"The Fallen Paradise? Does it belong to the Ye Family?"

Mango would never have thought that the place where she almost lost her virginity was actually the Dark Night Empire of the Ye Family.

Next, Madam Ye continued, "That's just in the United States. The Fallen Paradise has a complicated workforce, but I can obtain plenty of intelligence reports. The club hosts all kinds of people, as well as all kinds of information. I came here years ago just to set it up. Nevertheless, it's a grey area where all sorts of dealings are done. I'm sure you know what goes on in there."

Clearly, Mango was very shocked.

For a moment, she could not cope with the information. The place where she almost died was now under her control.

The feeling was inexplicably strange.

Then, the old lady patted her shoulder gently and she said, "If you want to master as the head of the Empire, you have to keep improving yourself. Currently, you're lacking a lot of knowledge, but I will teach you as long as I am alive. Flas Nathan gone out again? Although I know that your body has not fully recovered, you can have Thomas take you to the Fallen Paradise if you want to go there."

The old lady's words pierced directly into Mango's heart. Right now, all she wanted was to see Zion right away!
