The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 291

As she thought of this, Mango quickly stood up and she spotted Thomas as he helped Nathaniel walk out of the hospital.

Nathaniel was so weak that he needed Thomas' help to walk?!

Thus, Mango was especially shocked.

Nathaniel looked fine earlier, but he couldn't even stand up properly after he left the room?

But on second thought, it made sense.

Nathaniel had lost so much blood but he still rushed over here after he completed his surgery, so how could his body cope with the stress?

Then, Mango became upset as she thought of Nathaniel worrying over her and Rita even though he was still weak.

How could she give up this man who cared so much for her and Rita?

Although it was unethical to break the agreement with Edolie, Mango decided that she had to do it anyway.

Mango was willing to give Edolie anything she wanted, except for Nathaniel. In fact, she was even willing to give away all of her riches if that was what Edolie desired.

Hence, Mango's mind was made up.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel nearly collapsed after he walked out of the hospital door. He leaned his entire body on Thomas as he softly said, "Mango must never find out that I'm like this.”

"But Mr. Ye, you..."

"Hurry up and help me get into the car, you have to take me back to the hospital before Zion wakes up. I'm just weak after the surgery."

Nathaniel's voice trembled as he said that.

However, Thomas thought that Nathaniel's body became weak because of his stubborn desire to visit his wife and child, not because of the surgery.

Even so, he refrained from saying anything else as it wasn't his place to comment on Nathaniel's relationship with his wife and children.

Soon after, Madam Ye called Thomas as soon as he brought Nathaniel back to the hospital. Hence, he had to leave Nathaniel's side and return to the company to assist Madam Ye.

Nathaniel only nodded in response before he asked Thomas to leave. After that, Nathaniel laid down on his bed while Zion was still asleep before his body gave out and he fell into a deep slumber.

Meanwhile, Merle just sighed before he called for the doctor to check on Nathaniel's condition.

Alas, what could the doctors do with such an uncooperative patient?

On the other hand, Rita woke up as sunlight streamed in through the windows. Although she was still weak, she smiled brightly when she saw Mango.

"Mommy!" Rita's voice was feeble, but the cheerful look in her eyes sparked a glimmer of hope in Mango's chest.

"How are you feeling?"

Then, Mango walked over to Rita before she gently caressed her daughter's face.

Rita's face was still pale, but at least it had some warmth to it.

The faint warmth comforted Mango, and it indicated that Rita was on the road to recovery!

Next, Rita smiled and said, "I feel so much better. Mommy, I feel as if I could get out of bed and run around."

Rita struggled to get down as she said this, but Mango stopped her actions.

"Stop that, your body hasn't fully healed yet, okay? I promise that daddy and I will take you somewhere fun after you've recovered, all right?"

"Mommy, you can't go back on your promises!"

Rita's gaze was sparkling with joy.

She knew that she would finally be able to go outside and play like a normal child after this surgery. Furthermore, she could finally go to kindergarten and have fun with Brother Wisdom as well.

Honestly, she had been looking forward to this for five years.

After that, Mango hurriedly called for a doctor to give Rita a full-body examination.

Fortunately, all of Rita's vitals were good and this relieved Mango greatly as all her worries were finally eased.

Then, Rita started to get hungry. Even though the doctor restricted her to liquid food, for now, the little girl was ecstatic nonetheless.

Moreover, Mango seemed to be influenced by her daughter's delighted mood and she went out to get some delicious food for Rita.

Later in the day, Madam Ye arrived at the hospital and she was overjoyed to find out that Rita's surgery was successful.

"Oh, thank goodness that Miss Edolie was here to help Rita. Mango, you must tell Nathaniel to compensate Miss Edolie well, all right?"

Nevertheless, Mango was slightly stunned by Madam Ye's words as she nodded at the older woman.

"Mom, how about you stay here and accompany Rita? I'll go to Edolie's ward for a while."

In fact, Mango felt that she should visit Edolie because she did save Rita's life after all.

"Okay, go ahead. I hope you two can get along well as Edolie has done the Ye Family a great service."

Madam Ye waved her hand gleefully and she appreciated Mango's sensible nature very much.

After Mango left the ward, her footsteps became rather slow and reluctant.

In all honesty, she had no desire to see Edolie at all. Alas, she had no choice.

There was no denying the fact that Edolie had saved Rita's life, so she still had to visit Edolie regardless.

As she thought of this, Mango took a deep breath before she pushed open the doors to Eddie's ward.

Eddie was just about to get off the bed and go to the bathroom, so she was slightly stunned to see Mango. Then, she said, "Could you help me? I need to go to the bathroom."

Mango was perplexed for a moment as she saw a nurse beside Eddie. Ultimately, she didn't say anything before she took Eddie's hand.

Then, Edolie put all of her weight on Mango.

"Be gentle, my incision hurts."

Even so, Eddie's tone was impatient.

Nevertheless, Mango didn't say anything and she tried to assist Edolie as much as possible.

After Mango helped Edolie into the bathroom, she said to Mango, "Help me take off my pants as I can't bend down."

Mango was astonished once again.

Although Edolie was deliberately causing trouble for her, Mango still remained silent as she reached out to take off Edolie's pants.

However, Edolie let out a plaintive whine.

"Are you trying to hurt me on purpose? Don't you know I have a huge incision there? Get away from me!"

Then, she pushed Mango away.

Mango was caught off guard so she slipped and fell onto the floor.

There were puddles of water on the floor, and Mango felt the water soaking through her clothes as she sat on them.

Anger blazed in her chest all of a sudden.

"Edolie, what's the meaning of this?"

"What are you talking about?" Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Edolie looked at Mango innocently before she threw a cold glance at her, "I just pushed you, does it even compare to donating a kidney to your daughter? Furthermore, you really did hurt me!"

Her words rendered Mango speechless.

Then, Mango was annoyed as she got up, but Edolie ignored her.

Mango turned around and she was about to leave when Edolie said, "Where are you going? You still have to help me put on my pants after I finish peeing."

Edolie said this without even a hint of hesitation and treated Mango like her servant.

In fact, Edolie felt rather upset.

Why did such a good man like Nathaniel treat Mango so well?

She didn't even ask Nathaniel to love her. She only asked for three months of his time, but he still to ask Mango's permission forthat.

Right now, she was extremely dissatisfied with Mango.

Of course, Mango had no idea what Edolie was thinking. However, she reined in her temper as she helped Edolie with her pants after Edolie was done.

Then, Edolie smiled as she said, "What do you think people would say if they knew that the mistress of the Ye Family had helped me in the bathroom and even put on my pants for me?"

Mango looked at Edolie's arrogant expression and she faintly said, "What do you want?"

"Nothing, really. You should help me back to bed, but I have to say that you have no strength at all. I have no idea how you managed to be the mistress of the Ye Family."

Edolie's words were very unpleasant.

Nevertheless, Mango just ignored her.

After all, Edolie had just donated her kidney to Rita.

Then, Mango helped Edolie back to the bed.

After that, Edolie instructed Mango to get water and food for her as if Mango was her servant. Furthermore, even the nurse stationed to look after Edolie felt that she was being unreasonable.

"Miss Edolie, how about I assist you?"

As soon as the nurse spoke, Edolie's expression soured.

"Who do you think you are? I asked you to stand aside, you hear me? You have to listen to me as I'm the one who's paying you!"

Furthermore, Edolie's expression was exceptionally disdainful as she said that.

Previously, Mango thought that Edolie was a girl of few words, but at least she wasn't detestable. However, Edolie had become increasingly domineering and arrogant.

"Edolie, you should watch your attitude. The nurse is a person, and she has feelings too."

Edolie was somewhat stunned at Mango's words before she smiled nonchalantly and said, "I have to watch my attitude? Oh, I must've forgotten to tell you, Nathaniel told me that he'll give me your surname and he said that he'll ask your parents take me in as their god-daughter. Other than that,

he also gave me a card so I could buy whatever I wanted. Since I'm also a daughter of the Shen Family, why can't I be arrogant?"

Then, Edolie took out the card Nathaniel gave her as if she wanted to show it off.

Although it was just a gold card, Mango knew the meaning behind it.

She knew that Nathaniel gave Edolie this card just to thank her for saving Rita, but Mango extremely disliked Edolie's current attitude.

"You might have saved Rita's life, but that doesn't mean you can bully other people. I can acknowledge you as my god-sister as well as accept you into my family, but you'd better know your place."

"Hey, how dare you lecture me even before our family ties are official? Have you forgotten what you promised me? You promised to lend your husband to me for three months!"

Truthfully, Edolie's words hurt Mango a little.

Initially, Mango had planned to talk to Edolie about it a few days later, but since the younger girl had brought it up, they might as well talk about it.

"Edolie, I admit that I did agree to your terms earlier, but now I'm regretting that decision."

However, Edolie wasn't surprised at all that Mango said this. Instead, she sneered at Mango. "Do you think you can repay my debt by letting Nathaniel give me a family and status? Mango Shen, I knew you were an ungrateful b*tch right from the very beginning."

This was the first time that Mango had been chastised like this and her face blazed with anger.

She'd always been a woman of her word, and Edolie really did save her daughter's life. Logically, it was unreasonable for her to do this, but...

Then, Mango took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, I can agree to anything you want, except for Nathaniel."

"Well, I stand by what I said. I can forsake anything for Nathaniel, even this card!"

After she finished speaking, Edolie threw the bank card at Mango.

The card brushed past Mango's cheek and it left a horizontal line of blood on her face.

Then, Mango frowned at the stinging sensation in her cheek.

"Edolie, the Shen and the Ye families will be able to give you a bright future, so you'll be able to have any man you want. Hence, you should know which choice will be better for you.”

"Ah, you'll never understand how I feel if you're not in my shoes."

Mango frowned deeply at Eddie's words.
