Chapter 284
Chapter 284
Mango did not speak to Terrance over the phone, but they messaged each other over Whatsapp instead.
Edolie’s tone was cold as she looked at Mango, who was incessantly texting on her phone. She said, "I'm sure that you won’t be lonely over the next three months. Even if Nathaniel isn’t with you, there are still plenty of people who care about you.”
At that, Mango’s gaze became frigid and the cold seeped right into Edolie’s soul.
"You’d better stop bringing up that agreement, or else.."
"What else can you do? Can you stop your daughter from having the surgery?"
Edolie’s fearless expression irritated Mango so much that she nearly wanted to leap out of the moving car.
Edolie was right!
Mango couldn’t do it!
In the end, the only thing Mango could do was just accept Edolie’s taunts.
Then, Mango lowered her head angrily as she continued to tell Terrance about the doctors in the hospital to distract herself. If she didn't do so, then Mango might kick Edolie out of the car if she didn't jump out first.
On the other hand, Terrance was very concerned after he heard Mango's words.
"Don't worry about the surgery, I'll send some of my men to the hospital and investigate the staff."
However, Mango disagreed with Terrance's way of dealing with this issue.
"Uncle, we don't have time to do that. Furthermore, it’ s not like we can investigate them thoroughly in such a short time frame. I know a doctor who is very familiar with Rita's illness and I can ask him to perform the surgery, but I still need your help at the hospital."
As soon as Rita returned home, Mango had the doctor from the hospital in the United States transferred over as well. Hence, Mango intended for him to personally perform Rita's surgery.
The doctor worked for Dylan, and since Dylan was Nathaniel's best friend, the doctor would definitely try his best during the surgery.
Honestly, it’s just that Mango hadn’t expected so many things to happen. Fortunately, that doctor was still here but Ocean City's central hospital wouldn't casually allow a foreign doctor to perform surgery in their hospital.
Terrance listened to Mango’s explanation before he said in a low voice, "Leave this to me. I'll give the hospital’s director a call, so just wait for me after you reach the hospital and don't do anything until I arrive. Oh yeah, are there enough men guarding Nathan? Do you need me to send reinforcements?"
"That's not necessary as my men and Zion are already there. Furthermore, I called Thomas earlier and he's on his way there. Uncle, I'll see you at the hospital."
Mango hung up the phone after she finished speaking to Terrance, and she turned to find that Edolie had been staring at her with a quizzical look in her eyes.
Then, Edolie quickly turned away to look outside when she realized that Mango was observing her.
The two of them were silent for the rest of the journey and they quickly arrived at the hospital.
It would take some time for Terrance to arrive, so Mango quickly got off the car as she was more concerned about Rita's condition.
On the other hand, Edolie seemed very nonchalant about the whole affair as she followed behind Mango into the hospital.
"Stop there, who are you?"
Someone had stopped Mango outside the ward before she could enter. Moreover, the person who blocked her seemed to be a high-ranking individual in the hospital.
Edolie had an indifferent expression on her face when she looked at Mango as if she was just an outsider. However, Mango had to get past this man if she wanted to enter the ward to save Rita.
Then, Mango frowned and the look in her eyes became ice-cold.
"My daughter is a patient in this hospital and she needs to undergo surgery soon, so please step aside." "Give me your ID card." The other party looked at Mango with disdain as if a person of her status didn’t deserve to enter the hospital.
Honestly, Mango found that rather insulting.
Nevertheless, Mango couldn't be bothered to argue with this person. As she was taking out her ID card, a familiar voice called out in a playful tone.
"Since when did the central hospital take over the responsibilities of the police?" Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
As soon as the voice called out, Mango was stunned and the person in front of her recoiled slightly in fear as he heard the voice.
"Master Song."
He greeted anxiously.
Walter Song walked over to them from somewhere nearby and he whistled when he saw Mango.
"Long time no see, beautiful. Did you miss me?"
Walter was still as frivolous as before, but Mango's lips curved up in a small smile.
"What are you doing here?"
"I should be asking you that same question. Didn't you say that you went to the United States? Ah, you didn't even contact me when you returned! What happened? Did you really forget about me? Or did Nathaniel forbid you from contacting me?
Walter’s tone was still as playful and teasing as it was back then, but Mango didn't really mind it anymore.
"I have a lot of things on my mind. Right now my daughter is about to have surgery, so I rushed over
here like a madwoman and I didn’t have the time to call you."
Mango's words stunned Walter for a moment.
'Wait, your daughter? Don't you only have a son?"
"I gave birth to fraternal twins. My daughter’s health has always been poor, and she had been recuperating in the United States previously."
At this point, Mango no longer wanted to hide it from Walter.
Walter was shocked when he heard this, but he huffed in annoyance as he looked behind her. "Why isn't Nathaniel here? Your daughter is about to have surgery, but yet he hasn't shown up?"
"It's rather inconvenient for him to come here now."
Mango' s heart still ached as Nathaniel was mentioned.
"What else could be more important than his own daughter's surgery? Mango, it seems like you haven' t chosen the right man. If you'd chosen me, I wouldn’ t have abandoned your daughter even if I was bedridden!"
Walter took every opportunity he could to badmouth Nathaniel because Nathaniel had stolen the woman of his dreams away from him.
Edolie looked at Walter as she overheard parts of their conversation, but then she smiled faintly as she said, "Not bad, Mango! You have so many men who are willing to cater to your whims, so I'm sure you won't be too lonely without Nathaniel!"
As soon as Edolie finished speaking, Mango turned around immediately and slapped Edolie hard across the face.
Edolie was caught off guard by the slap and she staggered on her feet as she nearly fell to the ground.
"You..."
"Don't think I'll be polite to you just because you’re donating your kidney to my daughter. After all, Edolie, the only thing between us is that deal we made, so don't try to test my patience, or else I wouldn't mind killing you at all."
In fact, Mango meant every word she said.
To be frank, Mango was already pissed off when Edolie demanded Nathaniel to accompany her for three months.
Right now, Edolie still tried to provoke her repeatedly.
Did she really think that Mango wouldn't do anything to her?
Edolie saw the murderous intent in Mango’s eyes and trembled in fear. However, she calmed herself down as she recalled that Mango's daughter still needed her help.
"Mango, you'd better..."
“I'm telling you, you'd better shut up if you want to live. I'm actually quite merciful, but I'm not afraid to step up for a beautiful woman like Mango. Furthermore, I, Walter Song, am not above hitting a woman."
Walter seemed to sense Mango's anger towards Edolie and he was more than happy to be an executioner if Mango decided to give him the order.
Edolie was startled when she heard Walter's name. Although Walter was a playboy, his methods of dealing with things were well known and Edolie never expected to meet him here.
Mango's anger dissipated when she saw that Edolie had become quiet and she said to Walter, "Do me a favor since you're here."
"Go ahead."
"Nanny Zhang has planted agents in this hospital and I heard that she wants to hurt my daughter. I don't have time to investigate this, so can I leave this matter to you?"
Mango knew that Walter was trustworthy and no matter what their relationship was like previously, she knew that Walter sincerely treated her well.
Although she couldn't be his lover, but they could be the very best of friends.
Walter nodded quickly as he heard this and he said, "No problem, leave it to me."
"Master Song, this..."
The man who stopped Mango earlier spoke as soon as Walter finished his sentence and he intended to prevent Walter' s interference, but he was immediately kicked aside.
"How dare you interrupt me when I'm speaking? What's going on? Fitch Li, I see that you've grown some balls lately as you’re brave enough to lay your hands on someone I want to protect?"
Walter stepped forward and kicked Fitch a few more times as he spoke.
Fitch didn't dare fight back at all, let alone say anything to him. Walter Song was famous for being reckless in Ocean City, and even Walter's father couldn't control him, let alone someone like Fitch.
Moreover, Walter knew some very powerful people in the capital and they were extremely protective of him. Thus, no one in Ocean City dared to offend Walter.
Walter asked in a teasing tone as he saw that Fitch had become obedient, "Are you going to stop this beautiful lady from entering the hospital?"
"Please come in!"
It was impossible for Fitch to stop Mango now.
If he still refused to let Mango in, he reckoned that Walter would have kicked his head in.
Walter looked at Mango with a devilish smile and said, "Hey beautiful, you owe me a favor once again."
'TH treat you to dinner someday."
Mango patted his shoulder with a faint smile before she walked into the hospital.
At this, Walter became rather annoyed.
In fact, Mango has never fulfilled any of her promises to treat him to dinner. Did Mango think that he was a glutton?
Walter rubbed his nose and felt irritated, but he did not say anything. However, the look in his eyes changed when he turned to look at Fitch.
"Who gave the order for you to stop Mango?"
Walter’s tone was nonchalant as he asked the question, but Fitch broke out in a cold sweat.
Walter attacked him once again as Fitch wanted to say something and he howled in pain.
Edolie trembled in fear as Mango heard Fitch's screams, but now she had no energy to be concerned with his well- being. Instead, all she wanted was to see Rita as soon as possible.
After Mango called Wisdom, she found out Rita's room number and she headed there quickly, nearly tripping over herself as she walked.
Meanwhile, Edolie followed behind Mango as various thoughts raced through her mind. However, Edolie did not say anything to provoke Mango again.
The two of them finally arrived at Rita’s ward and Mango shoved open the door impatiently. However, she was stunned at the sight that greeted her when she opened the door.
