The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1009

Mango failed to hold the phone firmly, and it fell directly to the ground while making a crisp sound. Fortunately, she had a high-quality phone, so it continued to ring.

Carmel quickly squatted down and picked it up before handing it to Mango.

Mango took a glance and realized that Sisi was calling her.

Then, she took a deep breath and swiped the answer button.

"Sisi, what's the matter?"

"Mango, when will you come back? I heard my mom say that you'll be coming back for dinner tonight. Do you have time now? I want to go for a checkup. My mother asked Newell to get some groceries, so I'm afraid that the doctors' shifts might be over once he came back."

Sisi said this with an embarrassed tone.

Mango frowned slightly after hearing what she said.

"Why didn't you go for prenatal checkups in the morning instead?" "My mom forgot to remind me about it, and she just told me about them just now. Shall I go tomorrow instead?"

Sisi thought that Mango was busy, so she tried to quickly suggest something else.

Did Laney really forget to remind Sisi about it? Or did she deliberately choose to tell Sisi about the prenatal checkups at this time?

Mango had no idea, but she realized that Laney had gotten rid of Newell on purpose. Laney was obviously trying to get her to accompany Sisi for the latter's prenatal check-up.

Since Laney was already trying to set her up, she would take the bait then!

Mango sneered and said, "Nothing much. I'll be back soon, so you can get ready. Let me give a call to Genevieve along the way. If it doesn't work, we'll go to the military hospital for a checkup so that we won't have to queue up."

"Thank you so much, Mango!"

Sisi was having a hard time as she was pregnant, so she didn't like waiting in line either. However, she would most likely have to wait if she went to the Central Hospital.

If Mango could send her to the military hospital, her prenatal checkups wouldn't take that long as Mango was close with Genevieve.

After Sisi hung up the call, Mango kept the phone away.

She looked into the direction in which Kolton had left.

Kolton had loved Marissa all his life. However, he was not concerned about Sisi at all.

Then, she turned and left Silverbay Prison at this thought.

Meanwhile, Carmel was a little hesitant to speak.

Mango smiled and said, "Are you trying to advise me not to return to the Ye family's Mansion?"

"Are you stupid? Why are you going back if you know that there's a trap there?"

Carmel replied bluntly.

However, Mango liked how straightforward she was.

"Laney has been scheming against us for so long, so I don't think we can evade her forever. So, we should confront her directly and react according to situation."

Carmel was even worried when she found saw how indifferent Mango was. However, she didn't say anything else.

After that, the two of them returned to The Yes Mansion.

When Laney saw Carmel following behind Mango, she was stunned. Then, she asked, "Who's this..."

"She's my bodyguard, Carmel."

Mango answered slowly.

Laney was stunned for a moment, and then she asked with a smile, "Mango, are you bringing along a bodyguard wherever you go now?"

"Well, plenty of people want to harm me recently. Hence, I have to ensure my own safety. Also, some framed Nathaniel, so he's still locked up in the police station. If anything happens to me, he'll be extremely anxious, won't he? Don't you think so too, Aunt Laney?"

Mango said this with a sweet smile. However, she glanced at Laney with a sharp glare, and the latter had to evade her gaze because she couldn't take it.'

"Here you are, Mango! I'm ready, so shall we leave now?"

Right at that moment, Sisi walked out of the room.

"Okay, let's go!"

Mango glanced at Laney and asked, "Why don't you come with us as well, Aunt Laney?"

"Nah, both of you will be fine. Let me prepare some delicious food for you guys at home. Call me if anything happens."

"Alright. See you then!"

Sisi was kind to her mother, and she had a warm gaze in her eyes whenever she talked to Laney. Perhaps she depended on Laney more because she was going to be a mother soon. However, Mango couldn't but frown when she saw this scene.

This was not a good sign.

Mango already knew that Laney was suspicious, so she was afraid that Laney would hold Sisi hostage in the future. How could Sisi bear it if that happened?

Thus, Mango came up with a plan at this thought.

While she walking out with Sisi of The Ye's Mansion, Carmel had already gone out to get the car.

Then, Mango gave a call to Genevieve.

"How have you been? If your body alright?"

"I'm fine. What's up?"

Genevieve knew that Mango would not call her for no reason, so she hurriedly asked.

Mango couldn't say much in front of Sisi. She just uttered, "Erm, if your body is alright, could you do me a favour and come to the hospital? My sister-in-law is pregnant, and she needs a prenatal checkup. So, I don't trust anyone to do this checkup for her other than you."

Genevieve paused for a moment when she heard what Mango had said.

Genevieve wasn't the only gynaecologist in the hospital, and she could easily get another doctor for Mango by making a call. After all, she was the director of the hospital. However, she found it interesting that Mango was asking her to go to the hospital personally.

"Okay, I'll be there soon. You guys can wait for me over there."

After hanging up, Mango looked thoughtful.

However, Sisi said gratefully to her, "Thank you, Mango. I'm not familiar with Noah's wife, so thank you for your help."

"We're family, after all. Since your brother is not around, I have to take care of you."

Mango said these words sincerely. However, Sisi would have to figure out the hidden meaning behind her words herself. After that, both Mango and Sisi got into the car once Carmel drove it over.

The car soon arrived at the Military Hospital.

Sisi knew that not anyone could get into the military hospital. Hence, she didn't expect that she could come here someday. Thus, she followed Mango into the hospital excitedly.

Meanwhile, Genevieve had already arrived.

She had put on some weight, and anyone could tell that she was pregnant just by looking at her bump. However, she had a tender expression on her face. "Your belly..."

Genevieve was somewhat astonished.

She was unaware that Mango had suffered a miscarriage as Noah concealed the news from her. Thus, she was shocked when she saw Mango's flat belly.

"I guess we were destined to meet then. Anyway, let's stop talking about me. This is Sisi, my sister-in-law. Please give her a thorough check-up as Nathan is worried about her."

Genevieve nodded after hearing Mango's words. Then, she brought Sisi into the examination room.

Not long after, Genevieve walked out of the room.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Can you come up with an excuse to admit her into the hospital?"

Mango didn't hide her thoughts, and she asked Genevieve directly.

Genevieve nodded and replied, "She's going through some minor bleeding. I can use this excuse to make her to stay, but why?"

"I'll explain it to you later."

After they both chatted for a while, Sisi had put on her pants and came out of the room.

"Ms. Bay, how am I doing? Is my baby all good?"

"Erm... you're not doing quite well."

Genevieve said this seriously, and Sisi was stunned to see her expression.

"Ms. Bay, what's wrong with me? Is my baby alright?"

Mango felt somewhat guilty when she saw that Sisi had turned pale because of her nervousness.

Genevieve shook her head and said, "Your baby has some signs of miscarriage. I think you know about it too, as there's blood on your pants. I suggest you stay in the hospital for a week so that we can observe you. After that, you can go home to rest if there's no big deal. If anything goes wrong, I can treat you as soon as possible if you're in the hospital. What do you think?"

When Sisi heard that she had symptoms of miscarriage, she freaked out immediately and said without a second thought, "Sure, no problem! As long as my baby can survive, I will do as you say."

"You'll need to check-in to the hospital first. Don't worry, I will introduce the most experienced gynaecologist to you."

As soon as Genevieve finished speaking, Mango said, "Let me do the registration. Sisi, you sit here and have some rest."

"Thank you, Mango."

Sisi was feeling very embarrassed.

Nathaniel had always spoilt Mango. Hence, Sisi felt guilty to let someone like Mango do everything for her.

However, Mango waved her hand. She then asked Carmel to stay with Sisi while she went outside to help Sisi check in the hospital.

After Mango was out of Sisi's sight, she gave a call to Terrance.

"Terrance, can you please do me a favor?"

"What is it?"

Terrance would never hesitate to help Mango.

Mango whispered, "I need a safe and discreet place that's suitable for a pregnant woman to recuperate. Can you help me?"

"I know such a place, so let me arrange it. When do you need it?"

"One hour later."

"Alright."

After the call, Mango went to the counter to check Sisi into the hospital before returning to the examination room.

"It's all done. Does Sisi need a drip in her current condition?"

Genevieve immediately took the hint.

"Of course, she needs it. Since the admission procedure has been completed, I will arrange the bed for you. Then, the nurse will transfuse it for her. Don't worry, Sisi. Just rest well. Make sure to always keep a happy mood for the baby, alright?"

Genevieve said this to Sisi gently.

Sisi hurriedly nodded in reply.

After that, both of them went into the ward.

Shortly after that, the nurse brought in some drips and transfused them into Sisi's body.

Thus, Sisi started feeling sleepy about ten minutes later.

She yawned and said, "Mango, I want to get some sleep. Please tell my mom about my current condition now."

"Alright, get some rest."

Mango tucked Sisi into the bed before the latter fell asleep.

She waited till Sisi was in deep sleep before she walked out of the ward.

Meanwhile, Genevieve was waiting outside.

"What's going on here?"

"Laney is going to take action soon, and I'm afraid that she will hold Sisi hostage if Sisi remains there. Therefore I decided to send her away. Will the ingredients in sleeping fluid affect the child?" Mango was slightly worried about this.

However, Genevieve shook her head and said, "Don't worry, it won't affect her that much. Also, it won't take her long to wake up."

"Thank you so much!"

"It's okay. Just inform me when you need my help."

"Alright."

Mango smiled faintly and called Terrance. After getting the address of the location from him, she asked Genevieve to send Sisi over them immediately in an ambulance.

After that, Mango only felt a little more relieved when the ambulance had left the hospital.

Carmel looked at her in confusion and said, "Why do you treat her so well since she's Laney's daughter? Don't you think that she'll hate you if she finds out that you're dealing with her mom?"

"I can't think too much right now. However, I don't want to put her in danger. Let's talk about other things later."

"What about Newell? He's Sisi's husband, after all. Wouldn't he come over to take care of Sisi once he finds out that she's been admitted to the hospital? What if he finds out Sisi's admission record, but he doesn't see her here? How do you explain it to him then? Do you think that both Newell and Laney are in cahoots, so you decided to hide it from him?"

After Carmel had finished speaking, her eyes widened.

Had she made a right assumption?
