The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1193

"Mommy..."

Wisdom was a little worried and upset.

Mango looked into Wisdom's eyes and suddenly realized that she was not the only one who was having a hard time.

Wisdom was so young, but he was forced to make a difficult choice. The moment he suggested Bettany treat Nathaniel, it showed that he knew Bettany well.

Mango quickly suppressed her emotions and asked in a low voice, "Is it because she's from Longford County? So she could be able to help your dad?"

Mango knew that Nathaniel was someone really important to Wisdom.

As he heard Mango's question, Wisdom nodded hesitantly and she could see that his eyes were already red.

"Call her. Call her and see what she says."

Wisdom's head whipped up suddenly at Mango's words.

"Mommy, aren't you afraid that..." "I am, but I'm more afraid of Nathan leaving us." Mango's voice was clear and light, but it was full of sadness and reluctance.

If something were to happen to Nathaniel, she didn't know if she would still have the courage to live in such a cruel world.

Was this what love was like?

As she thought about this, Mango smiled. Her smile was beautiful and charming, but it was frightening at the same time too.

It was as if she had accepted everything, and had chosen to let it go too.

Wisdom was frightened all of a sudden.

He grabbed Mango's hand and said in a trembling voice, "Mommy, don't leave us."

Like a little animal, Wisdom held onto the last trace of warmth desperately.

Suddenly, Mango was pulled back to reality and she realized how cruel she had been.

How could she show such devastating thoughts to her young child?

Wisdom was a very sensitive person himself, so he was able to see Mango's intention of dying with Nathaniel.

He was even more shocked and afraid.

He didn't know what he and his siblings would do without their dad and mom.

They would still have people that cared about them, but none of them could replace daddy and mommy in their hearts.

Then, Mango held Wisdom in her arms and said softly, "I'm sorry for making you worry. Contact Bettany. I don't care what she's after, as long as she can save Nathan. I'll promise her anything. She can have all of Ye family for all I care."

Mango said those words confidently and surely.

Mango did not know exactly how many assets the Ye family owned, nor had she ever gotten someone to count them. All she knew was that a single enterprise of the Ye family's alone was enough to support many people for a long time. Besides, they still had mines in Swovenia too.

However, if all these could be used in exchange for Nathaniel's health, she did not care, nor want these possessions.

Then, Wisdom nodded his head and took his phone out to the balcony, but he didn't follow Mango's instructions.

The Ye family had too much property, and it was enough to make a person lose themselves in greed.

Mango didn't care, but it wasn't guaranteed that Bettany wouldn't care too.

If she had really wanted to achieve something, everything the Ye family owned alone was enough for her to achieve whatever she wanted.

As he thought about this, Wisdom's eyes narrowed slightly before finally dialing Bettany's number.

Meanwhile, Bettany was slightly stunned when she received Wisdom's second call.

Her student wasn't someone clingy, but he was calling very often these days. Did something happen? Or was there something he was trying to achieve?

When she thought of the relationship between Wisdom and Mango, as well as Mango and Magnolia's, Bettany's brows knitted tightly together.

Should she pick up?

While Bettany was hesitating, Wisdom called again.

Bettany could have turned her phone off, but she sighed before she picked it up and went outside. Once outside, she pressed the answer button.

"Wisdom."

There was a hint of helplessness and affection in her voice.

When he heard it, Wisdom's heart trembled slightly as he was quickly flooded with emotions.

"Bettany, I'm in trouble."

Wisdom spoke directly, which stunned Bettany.

Her student was very willing to learn and liked to study, which made him an excellent student to her, However, Wisdom rarely took the initiative to ask her for help. Even when he asked about homework, he would come prepared and would only listen to her opinions after having a reasonable discussion with her. Now, this was the first time he asked for her help.

Except for the time when he asked her to be his teacher, she had not heard such a pleading tone from him for a long time.

Bettany's heart couldn't help but soften a little.

"What's wrong? Are you having trouble with your homework?"

"No, my father was poisoned."

Wisdom's straightforwardness stunned Bettany completely. Her love for him was suddenly frozen in place and she didn't know how to react.

Nathaniel was poisoned?

How was that possible?

Could this be a trap that Magnolia had set up for her with Nathaniel and Mango's help?

After all, Wisdom was her soft spot.

Bettany frowned, and her eyes were full of rage and anger.

She didn't know how should she talk to Wisdom, nor did she know if her only student was aware of Nathaniel and Mango's schemes against her.

If he knew...

When she thought about this, Bettany's heart suddenly ached all over.

She cared a lot about Wisdom after all.

Just thinking about his betrayal caused Bettany to be overwhelmed with sorrow.

Suddenly, a thought of killing him flashed across Bettany's mind.

Anything could be solved by killing.

However, accompanied by these thoughts were flashbacks of how caring and kind Wisdom was to her. Every gesture whirled across her mind, making her heart ache as if it was being torn apart.

Meanwhile, Wisdom didn't care and didn't want to know what Bettany was feeling right now. When he didn't hear her reply, he continued, "My mom says that as long as you can save daddy, she will promise you anything."

She even taught him how to treat himself if he were hurt. Couldn't that be enough to fight against Mango and Nathaniel?

Bettany had thought that Wisdom would not answer and had wanted to change the topic, but then, she heard Wisdom whisper, "Bettany, both of you are my family. If I can have both sides, I would want all of you to be fine, but if I really had to choose..."

He paused after he said this.

His reluctance made Bettany's heart jump.

"Who?" "I will choose daddy and mommy."

Hearing Wisdom's words, Bettany felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if it was being stabbed.

She was about to lose her temper when Wisdom continued, "Of course, this is only if you were to become an enemy to my daddy and mommy."

Hearing this, Bettany was rendered speechless.

When did her quiet and timid student become so wise?

He was only a child!

Wisdom didn't care about what Bettany thought and continued.

"An enemy of dad and mom's is an enemy of mine too, and I would never let it slide easily. But you're still my teacher, after all. Whatever I achieve in the future, it'll be all thanks to you. When it comes to the time when I have to hurt you because of my parents, I don't think I would be able to live with myself. I'll die with you instead."

"Wisdom!"

Bettany's heart trembled and her palms were sweating.

What a tough child!

He was threatening her!

He was using his life as a threat!

Bettany was extremely angry, but she had to give in as she couldn't be cruel to her only student.

She couldn't bear to see him die, let alone watch him end his own life because she was against the Ye family.

In that moment, it felt as if she was witnessing her son die right in front of her.

Panic, helplessness, heartache, and despair were crammed inside her.

How many years had it taken for her to heal from the pain of losing her child? Would she have to endure that pain again?

No!

No way!

She knew that Wisdom was threatening her and that she should be angry, but at this moment, Bettany was utterly defeated.

She was defeated by her one and only student.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

After Bettany finished, Wisdom hung up the phone.

There was a bitter smile on her lips.

Forget it.

Even if this was a death trap or she was being used, she had no choice but to surrender.
