The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 751

As she said this, Mrs. Song became agitated.

Carter couldn't blame her. She had been by his side for more than 20 years, but she still wasn't granted with a proper title.

As Carter saw how furious Mrs. Song was, his anger was fueled too.

"Then what do you expect me to do? Huh? Because of you, I have already lost one of my sons, and now Thomas isn't willing to come home. What do you want me to do? After I die, everything in the Song family will be handed over to them. Besides, who provided you with all the luxuries you're enjoying and flaunting now? Walter did! He doesn't respect you that much, but did he ever kick you out? What's the difference between you and the real Mrs. Song except for a piece of paper? What are you still so dissatisfied with?"

Mrs. Song was frightened by Carter's sudden outburst, and suddenly burst into tears.

"You're blaming me now, aren't you? Why didn't you think of your family when you slept with me? Why didn't you think of Walter, who was still a child then?" "Enough! Get the hell out of here if you want to keep acting like this!"

As Carter said these harsh words angrily, he then slammed the door and left. He left Mrs. Song to burst into tears in the living room on her own.

The servants didn't dare to say anything. They all went to work quietly and tried to minimize their presence as much as possible.

When Carter came out of the room, he was still upset.

So many years have passed, and every time he quarreled with Walter, he was actually guilty on the inside. If he had not made that mistake in the past, his family would not have become like this. But he was Walter's father. How could he admit his mistakes to him?

Now, after hearing Thomas's words, Carter felt uneasiness creep up inside him, as something might have really happened to Walter.

Walter was used to solving problems on his own all these years. He hadn't asked for his help in a long time. Even at the time where the Song family was nearly bankrupt, it had been Walter himself who turned the tide with his own efforts and went through it.

He had always wanted to ask Walter how he managed to rise again, but he swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips. He was afraid that Walter would mock him.

Despite it all, Walter was Carter's pride and joy, though he never admitted it.

Because of this, Carter still respected his former wife. Without her guidance, Walter would not have grown into the man he is today.

In so many years, it was the first time that Carter had wanted to visit his wife.

Many years had gone by, but he didn't have a clue about how she was doing in the nursing home.

Carter didn't have the heart to go before, and now, he didn't dare go either. However, for Walter's sake, he mustered up the courage and headed to the nursing home.

The people in the nursing home knew about Carter, but they didn't know him personally. When they heard that he was Sophia's husband, they had wanted to call Walter for permission but were stopped by Carter.

"I just want to see her. Please don't inform my son."

"But Mr. Song said that no one is allowed to see Mrs. Liu except for himself."

As Carter heard the nurse's words, he felt a tugging in his heart.

"I said, there's no need for that."

After he said that, he went into Sophia's room.

Inside, Sophia was acting as she normally did. She was sitting in a wheelchair and staring blankly at the sky.

It was the first time in more than 20 years that Carter had seen Sophia.

She was getting old.

The hair at her temples had turned white.

However, she still gave out the same cold and unfazed aura.

If she hadn't been like this in the past, perhaps he wouldn't have cheated on her.

With this thought in mind, Carter walked to Sophia's side.

"What are you looking at?"

He asked softly.

Sophia did not turn her head, and continued to stare at the sky outside.

Just when Carter thought that she wouldn't reply, Sophia suddenly opened her mouth.

"It's going to rain soon. Walter didn't bring an umbrella. Did the servants send one to him?"

Carter suddenly felt a lump form in his throat.

"Walter is all grown up now. He can take care of himself."

"Walter hasn't been eating well recently, so I wanted to cook for him, but I don't have the strength to. Plus, Asher doesn't allow me into the kitchen either. Why hasn't Walter come back yet?" Sophia didn't seem to hear Carter's words, and she was still mumbling to herself.

As Carter looked at his wife in front of him, he suddenly felt terrible.

The nurse whispered to Carter, "Mr. Song, Mrs. Liu's mental condition has not been well recently. You'd better not upset her. She has attempted to commit suicide several times."

At this, Carter's eyes drifted to the wounds on Sophia's wrist, and each scar was heartwrenching.

His eyes instantly filled with tears.

"Sophia, I'm sorry. I've screwed up for so many years. It's all my fault. I ruined our family and let you and our son suffer. But I can't erase what I've done. I have already lost you, and I've caused pain to both you and Walter. So, I can't hurt her and my other son now too, can I? I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

Carter said remorsefully in a low voice.

But to Sophia, he was no different from the furniture in the room.

Sophia had been living in her own thoughts for a long time, and she could not be disturbed.

Initially, Carter had came here to ask about Walter, but looking at Sophia now, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

After staying like this for a while, he couldn't stand the pressure anymore, so he got up and left quickly.

He hadn't noticed that the moment he left the room, tears had started to roll down Sophia's cheeks.

As the nurse saw that Carter had left, she immediately called Walter.

"Mr. Song, your father just came to see Ms. Liu. She is stable for now, but I have to inform you."

Upon hearing the nurse's words, Walter's eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Who let him in? Aren't you people there for a reason? Didn't I say that he's not allowed to visit? Keep a close eye on my mother today. If anything is to happen to my mother, you'll all pay." Walter was very anxious.

He knew all too well about Sophia's hatred towards Carter.

What was wrong with that old man?

Why did he visit his mother at the nursing home?

Walter was so angry that he made the phone call

almost immediately.

"Carter Song, if you have nothing better to do, you should go traveling with that woman of yours. You can go around the world for all I care. Just don't go near my mother ever again. You have ignored her presence for so many years, so why can't you keep doing it? Why harass her? I'm telling you, if my mother commits suicide again, you'll be done for. Believe it or not, I'll gladly burn down that house of yours!" Walter shouted into the phone, which made Carter's eardrum ring.

"You brat, why can't I go visit her? She's my wife!"

"Thank you for remembering that she is still your wife! I beg you, please just let her go and divorce her quickly. My mother isn't fortunate enough to bear the title of Mrs. Song. Besides, don't you already have a wife? My mother doesn't want that stupid title! Please don't disgust my mother anymore, alright?"

Carter's guilt was suddenly forgotten as he heard Walter's words.

"What's with the attitude? I'm your father! If I wasn't worried about you, I wouldn't have gone to ask your mother where you went! How could you speak to me like this, you brat! I've never heard of anyone in the world who begs for their parents' divorce!" "There are tons of things that you've never heard of. What happens to me has nothing to do with you. Since I was a child, you have never cared about me before. Have you ever bothered if I was dead or alive? Have you? You only cared about the shares of the Sminorf Corporation. To you, I am just a machine who provides you with money. If we didn't share the same blood, I would not even bother to provide you with anything. I'm warning you, don't go near my mother again! Do you hear me?"

After that, Walter hung up directly.

Carter was so angry that he was about explode.

This son of his had turned against him!

He had given birth to a son who only angered him!

Then, Carter went home, still furious.

Walter was very worried about Sophia's situation. He knew that he couldn't trouble Mango and Nathaniel again, but aside from the both of them, he really didn't know who to turn to.

He was trapped in Nakasara for some reason, and couldn't come back on such short notice. However, he was worried about Sophia's safety.

After much hesitation, Walter called Mango.

Nathaniel had wanted Mango to have a good rest, so he brought her phone with him to the study room.

When the phone rang and he saw that it was Walter, Nathaniel paused for a moment before answering.

"She just got off the plane and is resting now. What's up?"

Nathaniel's cold voice reached Walter's ears through the phone.

Walter was a little hesitant, but still, he said softly, "Please do me a favor."

"What is it?"

"Carter went to the nursing home to see my mom. Carter and I are my mother's biggest traumas. Now that he's gone to the nursing home, I'm afraid she might become unstable because of what he said to her. She has tried to commit suicide many times, and each time, she barely survived. If it weren't for me, I know that my mom would have died long ago. I can't leave now, so please, can you and Mango help see how my mom is doing?"

Walter seldom opened up about these matters with others.

Mango had known about it all along, and Nathaniel knew a little about it too. However, Walter still felt a little embarrassed.

However, Nathaniel said without hesitation, "I'll go later." "It's best if you bring Mango with you. My mother is afraid of single men, including me after I was grown up. Sometimes, my mother even refuses to see me. I'm really sorry, but I have to trouble you guys."

"Since you're so polite, we will help you. Are you okay in Nakasara?"

"It's no big deal. It'll be settled in a while. I'll try my best to come back as soon as possible. Sorry to bother you."

"No problem."

Nathaniel hung up the phone and rubbed his temples.

He hadn't been assigned such difficult work for a long time.

After saving all his files, Nathaniel stood up and rubbed his shoulders. Then, he walked to the bedroom.

Mango was still fast asleep. It seemed that she was really exhausted.

Nathaniel's heart still ached for Mango. If he could, he really didn't want to disturb her. However, he had also promised Walter, so he was left with no choice.

"Mango, wake up."

Nathaniel patted Mango's face lightly.

Mango woke up, but she was still a little sleepy. When she saw Nathaniel in front of her, she yawned and said drowsily, "Is it dark already? Is dinner ready?"

"Do you only care about food? Are you that much of a glutton? It turns out that Rita inherited this from you."

Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango swatted his hand away.
