The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1029

"I have to go out because I have something to do."

Mango walked away rapidly as if she was in a hurry.

Seeing this, Nathaniel quickly handed Rita over to Carmel. Then, he quickly caught up on her and stopped her, "Where are you going? I'll give you a ride." Mango paused after hearing his reply and said, "Aren't you busy?"

"Well, I'm not busy for the time being. Ned is dealing with the company's affairs, so the most important thing for me now is to accompany you and the child."

After saying that, Nathaniel grabbed her hand and walked outside.

Meanwhile, Rita pouted when she saw that her father had left her behind again.

"Aunt Carmel, I'm going to find myself a boyfriend too! D*mn it, they left me alone again!"

Carmel's mouth twitched with dissatisfaction.

Were all children so precocious these days?

Why would Rita want to find a boyfriend even though she was only four years old?

Carmel was 25 years old and still had no boyfriend. Did that mean that she was a failure?

She felt offended.

Meanwhile, Mango was completely unaware of her daughter's grand plans. After Nathaniel pulled her into the call, she asked hastily, "Are you not going to ask where I'm going?" "Well, you'll tell me where you want to go once we get on the car, won't you?"

Then, he started the car.

Alright, Nathaniel knew her like the back of his hand.

Mango whispered, "Go to the KFC near the northern suburbs."

Surprisingly, Nathaniel didn't ask for a reason. Instead, he immediately drove the car towards that direction.

The car drove along the road steadily, and it didn't take long for them to reach the destination.

Tears were rolling down Charlotte's cheeks. She kept on checking on the time and glanced around her surroundings anxiously.

Mango rolled down the window immediately when she saw this.

"Get in the car!"

Charlotte was slightly taken aback at this scene.

Not long ago, she had knocked into Mango's car. However, she didn't expect to see Mango appearing in another private car now!

Upon seeing this, she could tell that Mango was from a well-off family.

Her gaze turned gloomy, and she suddenly felt a sense of self-consciousness and uneasiness.

After getting in the car, she glanced at Nathaniel. Since she was sitting behind him, she could not see his face clearly. However, she could tell that he was a big shot as he had an imposing aura around him. "How is Walter doing?"

Mango didn't know what Charlotte was thinking, so she asked directly.

Charlotte was the one who had called Mango just now. Although Mango didn't know how Charlotte had met Walter, she knew that Charlotte had somehow found out that Walter had gotten into an accident, so Charlotte had suggested that they go visit him together.

Obviously, Mango rushed over here without a second thought.

Nathaniel was a little surprised when he heard someone mentioning Walter's name.

"Walter Song?"

He asked subconsciously. His voice was attractive and mesmerising that it could take anyone's breath away.

"Wait... stop thinking for now."

Mango directly interrupted him.

Seeing that Mango was so nervous about Walter, Charlotte immediately tensed up and clenched her fist nervously.

Did she do the right thing by asking Mango to come over?

However, she had no money herself. She knew that she couldn't afford to pay the medical fees if Walter was seriously injured.

At this thought, she bit her lower lip and said, "I don't know either. When I received the call, I thought that a scammer was calling, so I ignored it. However, the hospital called me using Walter's phone and told me to go there quickly because he was in a critical situation. Miss Shen, I... I'm a little scared because I have no money with me. Can... can I borrow some money from you to pay for Walter's medical expenses?"

Nathaniel frowned when he heard her question.

"Huh? Does Walter not have enough money to pay his own hospital bills?"

No way!

Walter went abroad to recover from his injury. Did he use up all his money there?

Charlotte shook her head and said, "No, he still has his own money. But isn't he in a critical situation now? I thought that I should pay the bills on his behalf before he recovers."

"It's fine. You don't need to borrow any money from her because I'll pay for his bills. Which hospital was he admitted to?"

"Barnet Hospital."

Charlotte felt even more depressed when she heard Mango's words.

She was nothing compared to Mango!

After all, Walter still had feelings for Mango even though the latter was already married.

At the thought of this, Charlotte bit her lower lip and lowered her head. Then, tears immediately welled up in her eyes again.

Mango did not notice her expression, and she and Nathaniel quickly drove over to Barnet Hospital instead.

"Nathaniel, Mango? Why are you guys here?"

Emberly Xiao looked at them in surprise when she saw their arrival.

Mango was also stunned for a moment.

"Huh? Are you working here?"

"What? Do I need to work? The director called me and said that he had a patient who needed intensive surgery because he had gotten into a car accident. I happened to be in Ocean City, so he asked me to come over and supervise the operation."

Mango suddenly thought about Walter when she heard Emberly's reply.

"What's the name of the patient? Is it Walter Song?"

"I think so."

Mango immediately grabbed Emberly's hand and say, "Please... please help him."

"What's going on? Who's Walter? Why do you care about him so much? Hey! Nathaniel, aren't you going to watch over your wife?"

Nathaniel smiled slightly and answered, "Walter is my wife's cousin."

Upon hearing this, Charlotte suddenly lifted her head and looked at Mango in surprise.

Mango was Walter's cousin?

How could this be?

Then, she realised something after looking at Mango's gaze. Although Mango was worried about Walter, Charlotte could tell that she was only concerned for him as his relative and not his lover.

She felt instantly delighted when she saw this.

They were relatives!

Haha!

Walter was actually Mango's cousin!

Did that mean she still had a chance?

A smile appeared on Charlotte's face at this thought.

Mango pulled Emberly's hand anxiously and said, "Although I don't know how bad his situation is, he must be in a serious condition because the hospital asked you for help. Please, you must..." "Alright, I will do my best, okay?"

Emberly patted Mango's shoulder and walked in.

Then, Nathaniel happened to glanced at Charlotte.

He saw the expression on Charlotte's face immediately.

It seemed that this girl was in love with Walter!

This meant that he didn't have to guard against Walter anymore.

When Nathaniel thought about this, he told Charlotte, "I'll tell you the password to Walter's ATM card. You can withdraw his money and pay for the fee."

Both Charlotte and Mango were stunned when they heard what he had said.

"Nathaniel, what are you doing? I said that I would pay for it!"

Mango felt that Nathaniel was too petty!

Walter was already in such a critical state, and the paternity test had shown that they were obviously cousins. Why was he still so unhappy with Walter?

Meanwhile, Nathaniel responded indifferently, "Walter does have enough money in his bank account to pay for it. Furthermore, I also know the password to his account." "What? How do you know that?"

Mango was a little surprised to hear what he said.

However, Nathaniel refused to tell her.

"It's none of your business."

After that, he asked someone to take Walter's card and personally handed it to Charlotte.

"No, I can't use his money without his permission!"

Charlotte refused directly.

Nathaniel whispered, "My wife and I came out in a hurry, and we didn't bring enough money with us. Well, you can't leave Walter alone if he doesn't have enough money to pay for the operation, right? The doctor whom you met just now is an international surgeon. She's a famous doctor, and her surgery is very expensive. My wife and I also can't pay too much with our phones, so if you don't swipe his card, then the operation will be..."

"Alright, I got it! I'll be right there."

Charlotte was anxious when she heard that there was a possibility that Walter could not undergo the operation. Therefore, she quickly ran away with Walter's card.

Mango looked at Nathaniel, who was smiling cheekily. Then, she crossed her arms and asked, "Nathaniel Ye, what are you scheming now? You're a CEO, so you can obviously afford to pay for the surgery, right? Why are you teasing that poor girl? Wait... are you interested in her?!"

"Huh? What are you thinking about? Can't you see that the person she likes is Walter? Why are you so dumb? I'm obviously creating an opportunity for Walter. What if he remains a bachelor in the future?"

Mango was slightly stunned after hearing Nathaniel's words.

"What? Does Charlotte like Walter? How do you know that?"

"You can tell that by looking at her gaze! She's fallen head over heels for Walter! Also, she felt burdened and worthless when she saw you. Thus, you never paid any attention to her because you were only worried about Walter!"

Nathaniel retorted in a jealous tone.

After hearing what he said, Mango was speechless.

"He's... he's my cousin."

"I know that! After all, I would've gotten rid of him earlier if both of you weren't relatives! But you don't have to worry about him now because someone else will do that on your behalf. His admirer will hate you if you worry about him too much!"

Nathaniel wrapped his arms around her waist as he spoke.

Mango nodded in agreement as she understood what he was trying to tell her. However, she reminded herself to do a background check on Charlotte Ramirez later as well.

Meanwhile, Charlotte hurriedly withdrew the money from Walter's account and paid the fee. After that, she came up in a hurry, and sweat covered her own face.

"Is... is he out yet?"

She was panting, but she still stared in the direction of the operation room.

Mango could see the anxiety and worry in her eyes.

Suddenly, Mango felt delighted!

Charlotte was such a gorgeous lady, and she deserved someone better than Walter!

Mango had an even better impression of Charlotte the more she looked at her.

"Not yet, but don't worry. Dr. Xiao has excellent medical skills, so he will be fine!"

"Alright!"

Right now, Charlotte felt that she was simply too incompetent. She was unable to help out with anything else, and she could only wait there."

On the other hand, Mango was rich, and she had many connections as well. Hence, she could help Walter easily.

Thus, Charlotte felt more inferior compared to Mango at this thought.

"When he comes out, I'll leave once I make sure that he's ok."

"Why are you leaving? You still have to stay here and help him! Charlotte, you know that I have children waiting for me at home. My husband's busy with his company affairs, and both of us can't spare much

time to help Walter. Since he had undergone an operation, he would need to be hospitalised, right? Can you stay here and take care of him?"

Mango grabbed Charlotte's hand and pleaded with her earnestly.

Charlotte was shocked to hear her request.

"But, but..."

"Alright, that's settled then! I'll help you ask for leave from your job in KFC."

Charlotte shook her head. "I've already called them to tell them that I will resign. I'll stay and take good care of him."

"Thank you so much then!"

Mango smiled happily in reply.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel also smiled when she saw Mango's delighted expression.

He was surprised at how things had escalated. After all, he didn't expect Walter to get a girlfriend after spending some time overseas!

He could tell that Walter and Charlotte were having some problems with their relationship from Charlotte's actions. However, he would try his best to make sure that both of them ended up together. After all,

this was the only way to protect his wife from being taken away by other people.

All this while, Nathaniel had his own plans in mind, so he did not notice that Mango was staring at him with a displeased expression on her face.
