The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1665

"Dad, I'll go in and see my daughter."

Lydia couldn't wait to see Haniya.

It had been more than 20 years and she didn't know how her daughter was doing now.

Lydia walked to the room next door without waiting for Kingston to reply and she was followed by Nanny Liu.

When Carlson came out and saw that Kingston seemed to have aged overnight, he couldn't help but sigh. He asked the surrounding people to leave and personally poured a glass of hot water for Kingston. Kingston was slightly stunned. When he found out that the man in front of him was in Carlson, he quickly took the cup and thanked the latter.

He really couldn't understand. The Mo family was so powerful that they were almost untouchable. However, Carlson grew up to be a fine man and he didn't go astray. How could his own family members grow up to become a menace to society?

He had been travelling around with Brenson and he had witnessed how the older man had lectured Carlson. But how did his family end up like this?

Kingston didn't understand. He looked at the cup in his hands and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Carlson sighed and said, "Uncle, don't worry, we won't involve innocent people. Do I have your permission to do this?"

Kingston gave a wry smile and said nothing.

What else could he say?

Even if he stopped and forbade it? The crimes that those bastards have done were impossible to hide. As Ye family's affairs were solved, everything else would be exposed eventually.

Who would have thought that Haniya would run into Mango?

This might be fate's doing.

When Carlson saw that Kingston had agreed, he felt somewhat uneasy.

He had been close to Kingston since he was a child. This man had sacrificed everything for his country and the people, but he did not expect that his reputation would be ruined because of his children. Carlson stepped forward and gave Kingston a hug while he whispered, "You still have me, my grandfather, and Haniya."

Kingston's nose suddenly twitched and tears welled up in his eyes.

He was an old general that had spent his days on the battlefield for many years without shedding a tear, but he was crying like a child now.

Carlson felt upset as well.

It was really a pity that he was declared a hero, but he didn't have any descendants to carry on his legacy.

Lydia didn't care about Kingston's current mood. She was so desperate to see Haniya, but she became cautious as she approached Haniya's room.

Her daughter, who she had always been thinking about, was lying inside the room, but she felt a little timid now.

Nanny Liu held Lydia's hand tightly and whispered, "Miss, don't be too nervous."

"I... I'm not nervous."

Although Lydia said so, her body was trembling and her forehead was sweating.

With the help of Nanny Liu, Lydia pushed the door open and saw Haniya hooked onto a respirator on the bed.

At that moment, Lydia's tears flowed down her face.

"Haniya..."

She bit her lower lip and held back her tears as she walked towards Haniya step by step.

Although she did not know what Haniya had experienced, she felt pricks in her eyes as she looked at how injured Haniya was.

Lydia almost lost her balance and she staggered until she sat in front of Haniya's bed.

Haniya's hands were cold. If not for the little bit of warmth, she would have thought that Haniya had already passed on.

Haniya resembled Diego so much that it could be clearly seen that they were related to each other. But how could Diego do this to his own daughter?

Lydia couldn't stop crying as she looked at the scars on Haniya's body. She bit her lower lip and suppressed her sobs as she was afraid of disturbing Haniya. Her shoulders trembled and her tears flowed down her cheeks.

Nanny Liu feared up as well.

"Ms. Bell, I still remember that she was so young when I sent her out. She has grown up now."

Nanny Liu's voice trembled slightly.

Jiang Yue grew up in the Jiang Family. Although she was disliked by Diego, she didn't suffer much and she could live a luxurious life. Haniya was sent away when she was born and she had always lived alone outside. She was even tortured by Diego and it was too heart-wrenching.

Lydia continued to cry. She had too much to say to Haniya, but she choked up in silence.

What could she say?

Could she say that she sent Haniya away because she wanted to save her?

How could she be so cruel and ignore Haniya for more than 20 years?

It was useless to say all these things. So what if she admitted to her mistakes and called Diego a jerk?

If things could be solved that way, this wouldn't happen at all.

She put her hand on her daughter's cheek.

This was the first time in twenty years that she was so close to her daughter, but she felt so distant at the same time. She knew that Noah would save Haniya, and she knew that Haniya's future would be smooth sailing. This was enough. What she wanted was nothing more than Haniya to live her life.

Lydia touched Haniya's palm and felt her daughter's weak heartbeat. Her tears fell on the back of her hand continuously.

Haniya's heart skipped a beat as if she had felt something. Her strong desire to live made her constantly breathe in the oxygen from the respirator, but she couldn't open her eyes because her body was too weak.

When Nanny Liu looked at Lydia's sad expression, she could not help but say, "Ms. Bell, don't worry too much. When Miss Haniya is cured, you two can have a nice conversation."

"I don't have time, Nanny Liu, I really don't."

This was Lydia's only chance to see Haniya. After she walked out of this place, she would turn herself in. She would bear all the responsibilities to protect herself as a witness and place the blame on Diego. She wanted to send Diego, the bastard, to prison herself.

Nanny Liu didn't understand and asked, "Why don't you have time? Noah has excellent medical skills and he will definitely save you. When the time comes, you can tell Miss Haniya that you had no choice but to send her away and it was for her own good. She will understand and forgive you."

"How could I dare to hope for her forgiveness? I am a mother who did not have the ability to protect her child and I abandoned her for 20 years. In the end, she was tortured by her biological father. How could I possibly ask her to forgive me? I can't let her know that she has a useless mother, and she'd better not know that she belongs to the Bell family. Let everything rest with the destruction of my family. From now on, she is just an ordinary person. She just needs to find someone she loves to get married and start a family. I want her to live an ordinary life and be healthy until she grows old."

When Lydia made a simple wish, she didn't see how Haniya's eyes vaguely fluttered as if she wanted to wake up.
