The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 207

"Where did this thing come from?"

Nathaniel grabbed the thing in Mango's hand.

It turned out to be a small tracking device.

Mango did not know what this thing was used for, but then she said in a heavy voice, "I don't know. Since I left the hospital, I only went to the Fallen Paradise and I didn't go anywhere else."

"The Fallen Paradise is the Dark Night Empire of our Ye family. It's impossible for them to do this, unless someone has tampered with Thomas' car."

Then, Nathaniel's gaze darkened.

Thomas was frequently outside, so he could have been marked by someone and they had tampered with him. Thus, Nathaniel's gaze darkened even more as he thought of this.

Then, Mango became nervous.

"Maybe it's not Thomas."

"Could it be Mr. Malthus who put the tracker on you? But why?"

Nathaniel's question was so abrupt that Mango could not answer it all at once.

Indeed, there was always danger surrounding them, which worried Mango.

Who had been targeting them?

Nathaniel felt that they could not stay here any longer after they found the tracker on Mango's body.

Thus, he quickly got out of the car and he put the tracker beside a rock. Then, he pulled her aboard the car and he said, "We need to leave now."

Thus, Mango felt his anxiety. The two quickly fastened their seat belts and they drove all the way down the mountain.

When they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, Nathaniel noticed that there were many people gathered there. Not only were there military personnel, but there were others as well.

Hence, it became impossible to drive through there.

Nathaniel pondered for a moment before he said decisively, "Let's get out and go up the mountain."

"Huh?"

Even though Mango was a little surprised, but she did not protest. She followed Nathaniel out of the car obediently and they walked up the mountain.

The path Nathaniel had chosen was different from the others. In fact, he was going for the ones which no one had taken before.

After the two of them had walked for a while, Mango felt tired.

She had worn high heels today, so walking up the mountain was painful. However in order not to drag Nathaniel down, she did not say a word until she could not stand it any longer. Then, she gasped, "Let's stop for a minute."

Thus, Nathaniel stopped. In the dark, he could not see Mango's face clearly but he smelled the faint scent of blood.

"Are you injured?"

"No, it's just that my feet hurt slightly."

Truthfully, Mango felt a burning pain in the back of her heel. However, she did not feel any liquid flowing out.

Only then did Nathaniel realize that she had worn high heels today.

Then, he quickly took off his coat and he laid it on a stone. After that, he told Mango to sit on it.

Next, Nathaniel knelt and he lifted one of Mango's feet. As he was about to take off Mango's high heels, she cried out in pain.

"Ouch! It hurts."

"I'm afraid the skin has been rubbed off."

Then, Nathaniel slowly took off her shoes. As he expected, Mango's pale feet were now red and swollen, and small wisps of blood oozed out.

Thus, he felt very distressed.

Nathaniel took off Mango's shoes and he held them. Then, he said to Mango, "Come on, I'll carry you on my back."

"This mountain road is hard to walk on. It's going be very difficult for you to carry me on your back. It's okay, I can take it."

In truth, Mango did not want herself to be a burden to Nathaniel.

Nathaniel said softly, "If you do that, your feet will be damaged. Just come on up."

"But you..."

"Come on up!"

Nathaniel's indisputable tone left Mango with no choice but to climb onto his back.

His back was broad and it gave Mango a sense of security. Even in the dark, Nathaniel did not slow down despite having Mango on his back.

"Take out my phone and call Dylan."

As Nathaniel spoke, Mango put her hand into Nathaniel's shirt pocket.

Her hand was cold, and when she touched Nathaniel's shirt, he stiffened.

Thus, Mango knew that she might have touched Nathaniel's sensitive area. However, she did not stop and she quickly retrieved the phone before she called Dylan.

At the time, Dylan was exercising. When he heard the phone was ringing and he saw that it was Nathaniel's phone number, he answered it immediately.

"Nathaniel, are you home?"

"No. There's a lot of people blocking our way at the foot of the mountain, what sort of directions did you give me?"

Even though Nathaniel knew that this matter had nothing to do with Dylan, he still said it anyway.

At that, Dylan felt rather irritated.

"That's impossible, the place belongs to the military. Except for me, no one can enter it, let alone block it."

"Do you think I'm joking? It's late and the wind is blowing hard. Mango and I are stranded on the mountain and we have no idea if we'll run into anyone. Do you really think I want to joke with you?"

As Nathaniel spoke, Dylan heard the sound of the cold wind through the phone.

Thus, he became anxious.

"Where are you? I'll come to pick you up."

"There's no need for that. Just drive the jeep down and lure them away. Mango and I will find a way back. The keys are still in the car."

"Alright, you guys take care!"

Thus, Dylan hung up the phone and he quickly went out.

After Nathaniel had been walking around for a while with Mango on his back, he realized that they were lost.

The area they were in was very big, and it became rather cold at night. Hence, Nathaniel felt that Mango had started to shiver.

"Let's find a place to rest, if not we'll get someone to pick us up."

If Nathaniel were alone, it would be easier to deal with this. However, he had Mango with him now.

Mango's body had not fully recovered from what happened a few days ago. If Mango fell sick again, Nathaniel could not even able to imagine the consequences. Right now, Mango was shivering hard from the cold.

"I'm fine, but I feel cold. Let's find a place to rest."

Thus, Mango was afraid that she would just burden Nathaniel more. Hence, she had no objections when he suggested that they took a break.

Next, Nathaniel put Mango down somewhere that was shielded from the blowing wind. Then, he said, "I'll go scout out the place."

"Okay!"

Then, Mango felt dizzy and her stomach was also very uncomfortable. It was as if she was about to get her period.

Was she this unlucky?

Hence, she prayed hard silently but to no avail. A while later, a warm gush flowed out from between her thighs.

Thus, Mango was embarrassed as hell, but she did not know how to bring it up to Nathaniel.

A sudden gust of wind brought the metallic smell of blood to Nathaniel's nose.

He frowned and he turned to look at Mango. Thus, he found that she looked rather pale and she had covered her belly with both hands. She looked as if she was in pain.

"What's wrong?"

Hence, Nathaniel quickly squatted down and he gently rubbed Mango's belly with his palm.

"Does your stomach hurt?" Mango felt that she was going to die of shame.

She blushed slightly and she whispered, "Well, I think I got my period."

"What?"

However, Nathaniel did not hear her clearly but Mango did not have the courage to say it again.

Nevertheless, Nathaniel had more or less guessed what was going on as he saw Mango's current state.

"Did you get your period?"

This was a rather sensitive topic.

Although they were husband and wife, it was rare for them to talk about such a private matter. Now that Nathaniel asked about it, Mango's blushed all the way down to her neck.

She felt that she was extremely unlucky.

Earlier, she was fine while she was at the hospital. So, why did this happen now? Furthermore, they were in the middle of nowhere. What was she going to do now?

Nathaniel did not seem to have thought of this situation either. He said awkwardly, "What should we do now? Can we tear my clothes and use them for the time being?"

Mango quickly shook her head.

Even if you ignore the fact that Nathaniel's clothes were ridiculously expensive, she would not tear them up and use them as sanitary pads for her period.

Thus, Mango blushed furiously and she wanted to hide. However, her stomach clenched tightly in pain and it caused her to curl up with a cold sweat.

Nathaniel's brows knitted together tightly as he saw her like this.

"Come on, we're going down the mountain!"

Thus, he made a prompt decision.

However, Mango hesitated.

"Won't they block us if we head down?"

"You can't stay here any longer with your current situation. What if you catch a cold?"

Next, Nathaniel squatted down and he gestured for Mango to climb onto his back.

If it was earlier, it would be fine. However, Mango's lower body was dirty now, so she hesitated.

"What's wrong?"

Nathaniel asked in a low voice after seeing that she had not moved at all.

Mango whispered in reply, "I'm all wet down there now. I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? I'm your man!"

Obviously, Nathaniel understood Mango's concerns. Nevertheless, he smiled and he carried Mango on his back before he started walking down the mountain.

Thus, Mango did not know what to feel.

She was like a protected treasure, and the feeling of being cherished made her want to cry.

Perhaps her body was really weak, because she felt that she was very emotional right now. The cold wind that blew around them carried Nathaniel's scent to Mango nostrils.

With that, she suddenly felt at ease.

Even if there were unknown enemies waiting for them, she would have a peaceful mind as long as she was with Nathaniel.

Then, she felt that her eyelids were heavy and that she was dizzy.

Thus, Mango wrapped her arms around Nathaniel's neck and she whispered, "Nathaniel, I'm sleepy. I'm going to take a short nap."

"Don't sleep. You're going to catch a cold later."

"But I'm so sleepy."

The air blowing out of Mango's mouth was a little hot.

Thus, Nathaniel's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"She may have caught a cold, didn't she?" This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

"Mango, tell me about your studies over the past five years. Did you self study or did you do remote classes? Did you go to university?"

Nathaniel had to find a topic to ward off Mango's sleepiness.

Mango yawned and she said, "I went to university to study."

"Are the foreign boys more handsome than me?"

Thus, Nathaniel's question amused Mango.

"How can I compare them with you? The boys abroad are different."

"So you have compared us before?" The more Nathaniel spoke, the more indecent he became.

Mango grabbed his ears and she said, "What are you talking about? I was a very serious person okay?"

"Of course, you're very serious. Otherwise, you wouldn't have flirted with me in the kitchen!"

Hence, Nathaniel's words made Mango a little shy.

"Ugh, you're not allowed to talk about it anymore!"

Then, she covered Nathaniel's mouth. However, they found that there were bright lights in front of them, and it seemed like some people were arguing.
