The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 744

Novalee's body trembled a little.

"Take it! What are you doing? Don't be so pretentious with me. When someone is sick, the most important thing is money. I know how you feel and you don't want to owe me anything, so I won't force you, but you should think about your brother, right?"

Walter stuffed the bank card directly into Novalee's hand.

Novalee did not refuse this time.

She had mixed feelings looking at the bank card in her hand.

"Walter..."

Novalee's voice was a little hoarse.

"Yeah? What's the matter?"

Walter thought that Novalee wanted to say something, but he didn't expect Novalee to tiptoe and took the initiative to give him a kiss.

"I want you."

Her voice was not loud and there was even a hint of shyness in it.

Walter's whole body paused for a moment, and then only he realized what Novalee was saying. He felt really heated and turned on at that moment, but he pushed Novalee away instantly.

"I'm not asking you to sacrifice yourself like this when I give you this money. I admit that I have fantasized about you, and I even want to live with you for a lifetime, but Novalee, I don't need you to use your own body to repay your debts! Don't insult yourself, and don't insult me. My girlfriend doesn't have to do this to herself."

Then, Walter left the ward after saying that.

Novalee suddenly felt a chill down her spine and she trembled.

She really wanted to tell Walter that it was not as he said.

It was not because he gave her money that she wanted to sleep with him.

She was just afraid that she and Walter would not have the chance again in the future.

However, there were some things that she could not say nor do.

Novalee crossed her arms as she crouched down and cried.

Walter did not actually go far and he was just outside the door.

He felt very upset deep down when he heard Novalee cry. He even wanted to go in and pull her into his arms to comfort her, but he felt anguished.

He could feel that Novalee had feelings for him, but she didn't love him much, so she wasn't willing to be with him.

Novalee wanted to treat him like this just because of a bank card. Walter had to admit that he was a little disappointed.

He couldn't accept the fact that the woman he fell in love with was a money-grubbing person and that she would betray him for money, but what happened just now really made Walter feel heartbroken. Then, Walter got up and left the ward. The air was fresh outside, but he didn't feel comforted.

Just then, a man walked over.

"Mr. Song, Mr. Liu wants to see you."

Walter glanced at the person with an evil look and said lazily, "Do I have to go if he wants to see me? Does Bosco really regard himself as an influential person?"

"Mr. Song, Mr. Liu said that it's about Miss Novalee. Forget it if you don't want to listen to him as he won't force you." "Wait a minute."

Walter had to admit that Bosco seized his weakness.

"Mr. Song, are you coming with me now?"

"I'll wait for half an hour."

Walter took a step back and then returned to the ward.

Novalee had already regained her composure, but it was obvious that she had been crying.

Walter also felt devastated in his heart.

"I'll take you to the airport."

"No, thank you. I can take a taxi by myself."

Walter pretended that he didn't hear Novalee's words. He took her luggage directly and went out.

"Walter, you are still injured, you..."

However, Novalee had no choice but to go with him.

They were a little awkward after both of them got into the car because of the incident just now.

Novalee turned her face outside and still felt overwhelmingly pressured because of the atmosphere in the car.

Then, Walter whispered, "Send me a message when you arrive. Don't worry about me."

"Alright." "Don't be afraid of spending money if your brother

is not in good condition. Just let me know in time."

"Okay."

"The weather is getting cold recently. Have you brought enough clothes?"

"Yes, I did..."

Walter asked and Novalee answered, but she felt really uncomfortable in her heart.

Walter also stopped speaking when he saw that Novalee had stopped talking.

Novalee refused to let Walter send her through the security check when they arrived at the airport.

"I don't like to say goodbye, and I don't want you to look at my silhouette when I leave. Walter, go back, I'll be back in a few days."

"Call me anytime."

"Alright."

Afterward, Novalee took her luggage and left.

She felt incredibly heavy-hearted with every step she took. She even wanted to turn around and run into Walter's arms to confess everything to him. However, she managed to control herself at last.

Walter had the illusion that Novalee would never come back after leaving as he stared at her back.

"Novalee!"

Walter called Novalee to stop her the second before she went in for custom check.

Then, his mood was completely lightened up the moment Novalee looked back at him.

"Have a safe journey."

He suppressed his perturbation and waved at Novalee with a smile.

Then, Novalee gave Walter a bright beam.

"Walter, take care of yourself."

"Well, you should also take good care of yourself."

Novalee waved at Walter and then turned to leave, but the moment she turned around, her tears rolled down her cheeks.

Walter followed her quickly, but he was stopped by security guards.

"Sir, please stop."

Walter suddenly felt empty when he looked at Novalee's back as she leave.

They had been getting along with each other day and night these days, so he had been used to being with Novalee. He didn't know what Novalee wanted from him, nor did he know if something would happen to their relationship after she left this time, but he really didn't want to let go of her at this moment.

"Novalee, I love you!"

Walter suddenly shouted at the top of his voice.

At that instant, Novalee turned her head.

She felt it in her bones that Walter meant it.

When she turned around, Walter was waiting for her at the same spot.

Her lover that really wanted to be with was right in front of her.

At that moment, Novalee was so touched that she cried.

She wanted to go back, but it was too late.

The people around were all watching, some of them were giving their blessings while others were cheering.

Novalee bit her lower lip and said to Walter with a smile, "Walter, I love you too. I really love you!"

Then, Walter smiled.

To him, all the love quotes on the internet were not as touching as Novalee's words.

He laughed like a foolish madman.

Novalee looked at Walter with tears in her eyes.

It was time to board the plane, so she had to get on the plane.

Walter turned around and left with disappointment when he could no longer see Novalee anymore.

He suddenly felt that the weather here was so cold.

He clearly felt that the temperature was just nice when he just came.

Later, Walter watched Novalee's plane take off and he left the airport reluctantly.

On the other hand, Bosco's man was still glaring at him after he returned to the hospital.

"Mr. Song, can you come with me to meet Boss Liu now?"

Walter glanced at him and directly got into the car without saying a word.

Soon, they arrived at Bosco's residence..

This time, Bosco had no response at all and he ushered Walter straight into the hall.

"What do you want to tell me?"

Walter asked directly.

Bosco looked at Walter and thought for a moment before he said, "Do you really like Novalee?"

"Do I have to tell you this?"

Walter's words made Bosco laugh.

"I know, Walter, you are very capable and bold, but there's no use of just being courageous when you're dealing with certain issues, at least it's useless to Novalee." "What do you mean?"

"Please have a sit."

Then, Bosco poured a cup of tea for Walter and said faintly, "Has Novalee left yet?"

"You've been monitoring her? Bosco, I'm telling you, you'd better not touch her, otherwise..."

"I would have harmed to her if I wanted to do so long ago. I am not afraid to tell you clearly that I am the one who took the money when Novalee's parents were carrying out the mission. No one knows about this. I also know that Novalee is investigating this matter, but I didn't do anything to her. Do you want to know why?"

Bosco's reaction to this matter was a little unexpected to Walter.

"You're admitting it now?"

"I admit it! I should indeed apologize to her parents for that matter, but so what? The money will be given to the drug dealer even if I don't take it away, so why can't I take it since they're willing to pass it to the drug dealer?"

Then, Walter grabbed Bosco's collar and said angrily, "What the hell are you talking about? You were a junior soldier at that time. Where's your conscience? Do you even have discipline?"

"Can I make money by being disciplined? I didn't want to take it back then, but I hurt my back and my body in that battle and it took me more than half a year to recuperate. I had even sacrificed myself in that mission and because of it, I lost my pride as a man. I can't have my own children now. So, why can't I take away the cash? This money will repay the sacrifices that I have made. Her parents are dead and they are proud soldiers, but I still got to live."

Bosco started to be agitated.

Walter did not expect this, but he still said, "You shouldn't have done that even if that's the case. You let your comrades die with injustice, and they can't be buried in the tomb of martyrs although they deserve it. How could you bear this?"

"That's why I didn't do anything to their children. I know that they will investigate this matter when they grow up, but I still kept them safe, didn't I?"

Bosco's shameless answer made Walter laugh.

"You're really shameless. Are you sure that you didn't harm them? What rights do you have to hurt them? You're really inhumane for not taking care of them all these years, yet you still want to put them into trouble?"

"Walter, let me tell you this, Novalee is not as simple-minded as you think. She was only eleven years old and her younger brother was only six years old when her parents died. Have you ever thought about how both of them lived? Novalee was missing for a period of time, and her younger brother got to go to school after she came back. Although she went to work later, did she tell you that her younger brother Henry had congenital heart disease? When she was six years old, her parents passed away and her younger brother had nearly died as well. However, he was cured when they returned to this place after they disappeared at that time. How could an eleven-year-old child bear such a fee for surgery? I haven't found out who's the one supporting her until now, yet you fell in love with her so boldly. Aren't you afraid that she got close to you on purpose?"

At that moment, Walter was stunned after he heard Bosco's words.

"Do you have any evidence to prove this?"

"The locals of Longford Country are aware of this. They all knew that Novalee's younger brother had congenital heart disease, but he's still well and alive when they came back, and he seemed much healthier.

You can ask the locals if you don't believe it."

Upon hearing Bosco's words, Walter narrowed his eyes.

Who was the person behind Novalee?
