The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) -
Chapter 626
"What's going on? Doctor! Doctor!" Rainie panicked all of a sudden.
Why wasn't there any sound?
Why?
The doctor came rushing back as soon as he heard Rainie's cries.
"Miss Blu, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong with her voice? No sound came out when she tried to speak!"
Rainie asked as she grabbed the doctor's collar abruptly.
The doctor was still a little confused, but as soon as he saw Mango, he was stunned for a moment.
"I'm not sure. We've already done a full check-up. There's nothing wrong with her vocal cords unless it's damaged by external factors."
"What do you mean external factors?"
"Maybe she took some drug or something."
Hearing the doctor's words, Rainie's anger boiled. She was more than furious right now.
Was Nathaniel dead?
He had actually allowed Mango to be hurt like this?!
Rainie grabbed the doctor anxiously and said, "No matter what you do, you must treat her! Money is no issue! You hear me?" "Yes, yes, Miss Blu, I will try my best. Mr. Blu invests in this hospital too. Don't worry, I assure you, I'll do everything I can."
"I'm counting on you."
Rainie's face was already covered in tears.
Mango was her best friend. Rainie feared for her as she saw her like this.
The doctor quickly got to work immediately.
Soon, Mango was once again sent into the emergency room for further examination.
Rainie's heart ached as if it was being pulled apart.
But at this moment, her phone rang.
"Rainie, where are you? Why aren't you home yet?"
An elderly voice rang out on the other end.
After hearing this, Rainie paused for a moment and said, "I won't be home tonight. I have a friend who came to Estania, and I'm going to stay with her tonight." "Which friend are you talking about? You can bring her home. Didn't you say that the chef is great at cooking? Bring her back and let your old man have a look. Okay?"
The voice continued gently.
Rainie clutched at her chest and said in a low voice, "She's sick. Let's wait till she gets better. Besides, Aunt Dahlia may not like me bringing my friends home."
"You don't have to worry about her. You're my daughter! All these years, I haven't done much for you as a father. Now that you're back, I won't let you suffer anymore."
However, her dad's words saddened Rainie a little instead of putting her at ease.
"Let's talk about it later. I've got to go now."
After that, Rainie ended the call.
As she looked at the emergency room where Mango was, a terrible feeling took over her.
After she and Thomas left Ocean City, they met Ronan Blu coincidentally.
She never knew that she had a father, and he was actually a very wealthy businessman.
At that time, Thomas had returned to Ocean City because of an urgent matter around the time where they were supposed to be married. Right at this moment, Ronan appeared out of the blue. He said that Rainie and his dead wife looked very much alike, and he asked Rainie to do a paternity test.
Rainie was reluctant, but she did it in the end.
Who would've thought that the results of the tests stated they were actually father and daughter!
Ronan told Rainie that right after her mother had given birth to her, she had been abducted. To protect her, her mother had thrown her away, hoping that there would be someone kind enough to take her in, and she herself passed away under the torture of the kidnappers.
It was a pain that haunted him his whole life.
After that, he had ordered people to look for Rainie, but years passed without any news. Later, he was introduced to his current wife, Dahlia Brown, and they had a son. However, he still missed his eldest daughter dearly.
Luckily, God was kind enough to help put together this heartwarming union. When Ronan finally found Rainie, he had burst into tears.
Rainie never would have thought that she would have a chance to meet her biological parents again. After learning the truth, her resentment towards them evaporated completely.
After that, she had followed Ronan back to Estania. She had wanted to tell Thomas, but he seemed to have been very busy and didn't reply to any of her messages.
She was brought back to the Blu Family, only to find that she was treated like an outsider in that house.
Dahlia was decent to her, and her half-brother, Denver Blu, was kind to her too. Ronan treated her even better, but she didn't feel at home at all. It was awkward and unnatural, even though Ronan provided her with only the best.
If she wasn't home yet, the Blu Family would wait for her so that they could have dinner together. In fact, this touched Rainie deeply.
Now, it was way past dinnertime. Rainie had completely thrown herself into Mango's issue and had forgotten about returning home for dinner.
She put her phone away. Everything that had happened up till now felt unreal to her. It was as if she was looking at it all through a foggy mirror, hazy and unfocused. It was only when she saw Mango today did she finally feel some sense of reality.
She was still herself!
She was still the same Rainie who went to school and had tons of fun with Mango.
Rainie stood in front of the emergency room and waited anxiously.
Meanwhile, Wisdom was arranged to be examined in a separate room.
Time passed silently, and Rainie didn't know what was going on inside. Hence, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Right at this moment, a familiar voice rang from down the hall.
"Rainie!11
Rainie spun her head abruptly to the sound of Denver's voice.
They were indeed siblings.
Rainie and Denver looked very alike
"Rainie, mom and dad asked me to bring you some food. Mom said that you won't be able to look after your friend on an empty stomach. Look, they're all your favorites. Hurry up and eat. You won't have to strength to do anything if you starve, right?"
Denver's smile was bright and lively.
Rainie was stunned for a moment and said, "How did you know where to find me?"
"Hey, in Estania, it's easy to obtain information on stuff I want to know. I just gave the driver a call and look, here I am. Besides, our car ran through several red lights, and I bet the tickets are being sent to our house as we speak."
Although Denver was just being dramatic, Rainie knew that her car must have seriously violated many traffic laws on the way here. Otherwise, the traffic police wouldn't have contacted the Blu family. "Sorry. I was rushing back then."
Rainie's words left Denver sulking a little.
"Rainie, we're siblings and a family. There's no need to be sorry. Besides, you're the eldest daughter of the Blu family. You don't have to be sorry no matter what you do."
"Sometimes, there is a need to say it, though."
Rainie felt out of place.
She had lived in an orphanage since she was a child and she had worked hard to pay for her studies. Later on, she met Mango, and with her help, Rainie had managed to complete her tertiary studies. The life she had lived since she was a child was very different from the wealthy lifestyle she had now as the daughter of a rich family.
As soon as she stepped into the Blu household, everything given to her was the best. Everyone respected and tended to her, but this was all unreal to Rainie and it made her feel out of place.
She wanted to be a part of the Blu family too, but Denver's elegance, Aunt Dahlia's grace, and Ronan's wealth seemed to belong to an entirely different world, one where she was struggling to adapt to. Although they treated her like family, she still found it awkward and hard to fit in.
As Denver saw how uncomfortable Rainie was, he couldn't help but sigh and say, "Rainie, why can't you accept me as your brother? Are you worried that I'll hurt you because we don't share the same mother? Don't worry, I won't. How lucky I am to have an older sister looking out for me, and so is my mother. She isn't the evil stepmother type. I promise." "That's not what I meant. Denver, you can head home first. I'm going to stay here tonight. This friend means a lot to me, so I won't be home tonight." Hearing Rainie's words, Denver couldn't help but glance at the emergency room and said, "How much does she mean to you? More than me and dad?"
"A lot. Way more than my family. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be who I am right now. It was she who supported me through my studies. When I was in surgery, she stayed with me all night when no one was by my side, and she aided me when I was lost and helpless. She didn't ask for anything in return. She's my best friend and the person closest to me. Now that something has happened to her, I can't leave her alone like this. I can't!"
Rainie's tears fell uncontrollably.
Denver quickly comforted her and said, "Rainie, please don't cry. A friend of yours is a friend of mine too. Since you said that you're indebted to her, that means the Blu family is indebted to her too. What happened to her? Is it something serious?"
"The doctor said that her back was scalded severely. Because it hadn't been treated in time, she might need to undergo surgery. It must be very painful, and it seems that she's unable to speak." "That's horrible."
Denver rubbed his chin lightly and said, "How about this. I'll use our family's connections and find the best doctor in the world for her surgery. Don't you worry."
"Our family's connections?"
Hearing this, Rainie looked at Denver in confusion.
Although Denver was the younger one, he smiled and reached out to flick her forehead lightly when he saw Rainie's worried state. He said with a smile, "You haven't witnessed the influence of the Blu family in Estania yet, have you? Let me tell you, your friend will be in good hands because our family is practically the head of Estania. We're even business associates with some people in Canada. No matter what you need, tell me, and I will get it for you. Money isn't an issue. Did you know? All that's left in the Blu family is money, money, and more money."
"What?"
Rainie's jaw dropped, as she was stunned completely.
She had always thought that the Blu family was just another wealthy family. Now, hearing Denver's words, she couldn't help but feel more uncomfortable.
She wasn't used to the sudden change from a pauper to a princess.
As he saw her confused expression with her mouth hanging open, Denver couldn't help but smile and said, "Look at you, naive and clueless. You'll be tricked by bad guys easily if you keep this up." "No, I won't! You're the one who's clueless."
With that, Rainie immediately came back to her senses.
She was actually being teased by Denver, who was three years younger than her.
Rainie's mood lightened up a bit, but she sighed as she caught sight of the emergency room once again. "I wish I can suffer all that pain in her place.
It must've been so hard for her."
"What are you talking about? How can I let my sister suffer in her place? How about I find an expert to come take a look at her? Leave it all to me, sis. After all, that's what brothers are for, right?"
"Will that be okay?"
As she heard this, Rainie perked up and looked at Denver expectantly.
"Of course."
Denver promised with a pat on his chest.
At this moment, the red lights of the emergency room flicked off, and Mango was pushed out. The doctor had a serious expression which immediately made Rainie's heart beat hard against her ribcage. "Doctor, how is she? Can her voice be recovered?"
