The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 768

"Auntie, I..."

"Forget it. Just pretend I didn't say that. You already know what I'm going to do either. I only have one request for you, I hope you can pretend you don't know what I'm going to do and don't stop me from doing it. Do you think you can do that? Mango, for the sake of your mother and me, you have to agree to my request no matter what."

Sophia tightly grasped onto Mango's hand.

Mango was extremely conflicted.

"Auntie, I really..."

"Mango, I'm your biological aunt and Walter is your true cousin. Do you really want him to ruin his whole life?"

What Sophia had said made Mango speechless. She wanted to say something, anything, but the words seemed to stuck inside her throat, and she couldn't get them out.

"I promise that I won't hurt Novalee. I want to send her away and stop her from being with Walter. After all, she has done me a favor and saved me. I'm not an ungrateful person." Sophia quickly added as she saw the hesitation in

Mango's eyes.

Mango didn't say anything but gave her consent.

Sophia happily said, "You rest here for a while, and I'll be right back. By the way, you better call Walter and lure him away. Otherwise, I won't be able to make a move." "Aunt, you'd better not..."

"I beg you to do it this time only, please. Mango, you're also a mother. I beg you."

Mango was in a difficult position as she watched Sophia begged her.

She had to call Walter in front of Sophia.

"Where are you?"

"I'm still at outside at the emergency room. Why?"

Walter's voice sounded tired.

Mango looked at Sophia, who was winking at her. She was obviously trying to get Mango to help her.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "Can you come to my place now?"

"Is something wrong? Isn't Nathaniel there? Mango, I really can't leave. You know, with Novalee's current situation, I..."

"Auntie fell down and is hospitalized. She is in the Orthopedics Department of First People's Hospital."

Mango's words made Walter nervous all of a sudden.

"How is my mother? No, how did she fell? Where did it happen?"

"Don't be nervous. She fell down on the stairs at home. The doctor said that she needed to be hospitalized, it's better for you to come here." Mango finished her sentence in one breath.

Walter was conflicted but yet he said, "Alright, I'm on my way. Please look after my mother for a while. I'll find someone to take care of Novalee." Sophia couldn't help but feel delighted when she heard that her son cared about her.

"My son is the best."

Sophia said emotionally as Mango hung up the phone.

However, Mango had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Aunt, what are you going to do?"

"What else can I do? I'll go there right now. Tell me which floors is Novalee in at the Central Hospital?"

Sophia asked while lifting up her blanket

Mango concernedly said, "Auntie, you can't walk around as you pleased when your foot's injured."

"I'll do anything for my son. These pair of feet meant nothing if compared to him. I've done too little for him in this life. Mango, you have to help me hold off Walter. Sorry for causing you troubles." Sophia got up and limped out of the ward as she spoke.

Mango wanted to stop her, but in the end, she didn't.

She called Walter again once Sophia left the room.

"Walter, Auntie went to the Central Hospital to find Novalee. You'd better not come over. I was forced to call you just now."

Walter was slightly stunned.

"My mother's foot injury is fake?"

"It's true, and she hurt herself badly too. The doctor advised her to stay in hospital. But she doesn't want Novalee's current state to make you feel like you're responsible for it, so..." Walter suddenly became silent.

"Are you still here?"

"Yes!"

"Walter, I have something to tell you."

Mango contemplated for a while before she muttered, "Aunt just told me that she and my mother, Queena, are related to one another.

Therefore, she's my real aunt and you're my cousin."

Walter was completely dumbfounded upon hearing Mango's word.

"What did you say?"

"I just heard of it too, Walter."

Mango smiled humorously, but Walter couldn't bring himself to laugh.

The woman he loved the most is his cousin?

Was the universe ever gonna let him live?

"My mother said that?"

"Yes."

"Did you seek for proof?"

"I don't think it's necessary for auntie to lie to me on this matter. Besides, my mom is not in Ocean City, so I can't prove anything. Auntie did asked me to do a paternity test. Do you think it's necessary?" Mango's words once again made Walter depressed.

It seemed like it was the truth since his mother had brought up the paternity test.

"Mango, are you at ease now? You can finally get rid of me. I will be the worst person on earth if I continue to bother you."

What are you talking about? Didn't you put those feelings away a long time ago?"

Walter forced a smile.

Did he really let them go?

He didn't even know.

"Alright, I get it. I'll take care of it here."

"Do you want me to go?"

Mango knew that it would be pointless for her to go there at this time. Sophia would blame her for not holding on to her promise and she couldn't face Walter right now. However, she couldn't seem to relax.

If someone were working for Novalee, the hospital would probably be the most dangerous place right now.

Walter was anxious and nervous. He might not be able to protect two women at the same time on his own. Obviously, Walter had also considered this.

He whispered, "Alright, you can come here. Bring the bodyguards of the Ye family here as well. I'm afraid I can't handle it myself."

Walter's personality was like that.

He knew when he was in control and when he needed help. He would not act tough when he knew he couldn't do it on his own. Apart from the last time where he went to Underground City to save Nathaniel. Walter was actually quite reliable in everything else.

Since he had already spoken up, of course, she would accept his request.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

She ended the call and drove away from the hospital after telling Nathaniel where she's heading.

Sophia went there by taxi. So, Mango couldn't find her, therefore she could block her at the hospital.

Just as Mango was about to arrive, she saw a shadow, and it belonged to someone who definitely shouldn't be here.

Ms. Delilah Fang!

Delilah wore a very low-key outfit today, and she seemed somewhat mysterious.

She covered her face with a black hat. If it weren't for the fact that she had been to the home of the Song family a couple of times and met Delilah there, she might not have recognized her.

She was dressed too differently from her usual outfit.

Mango suddenly recalled her and Nathaniel's speculations. Why was Delilah here at this time? Was it because of Novalee?

She quickly called Walter.

"Walter, Delilah has arrived at the hospital. She covered herself very secretively. You'd better pay attention to it. Whether it's for Auntie or Novalee, I think we should be more careful. I sent her photos to you." "Okay. Be careful."

Walter hung up the phone.

Mango looked at Delilah sneaking into the hospital, and she subconsciously followed her.

The bodyguard behind said in a low voice, "Madam, let us follow her. Don't put yourself in danger."

"I can do it myself. Don't come too close. By the way, some of you can go upstairs and see if there Walter needs any help from you. Leave one person with me here is enough. Quickly!"

Mango made a quick arrangement.

The bodyguards hesitated.

"Madam, Mr. Ye asked us to protect you. We can't afford the responsibility if anything happened to you."

"I won't let any of you take the responsibility. I know my limit. If I can't manage it, I'll leave. Go quickly. Walter needs someone to help him."

"But..."

"No buts! Hurry up and go!" Mango became slightly angry.

Seeing that Mango was angry, the bodyguards looked at each other and left the strongest one among them. While others went to assist Walter.

Mango watched Delilah walk into the corridor and said to the bodyguard beside her, "What's your name?"

"Boden Ye."

"Your surname is also Ye?"

Mango asked surprisingly and curiously.

Two dimples were seen on Boden's cheek as he smiled. It was pretty cute.

"Madam, I was adopted by Mr. Ye from an orphanage. We trained together, so I followed the surname of Ye Family."

"Oh, I see."

Mango nodded his head and whispered, "Boden, when you go in with me and found out that something's not right, just do what you have to do, understand?"

"I understand."

"Okay, let's go."

Mango quietly followed Delilah.

Once Delilah entered the hospital, she looked around to make sure there was no one, then went to one of the wards in the Orthopedics Department.

Mango was a little puzzled.

Novalee was still in the emergency room. Who did she go to find at the Orthopedics Department?

She couldn't help but follow her.

The door of the ward was shut tightly. It was difficult for Mango to listen to what was going on inside.

Boden pointed at the window and Mango immediately understood. However, Boden said in a low voice, "Madam, this is the 13th floor. The window isn't a safe place, we might fell if we're not careful enough or we might get caught. It's better if I go up by myself. If you're afraid that I can't hear clearly, I'll record it for you."

"Don't worry. I'll go. You stay here and watch out for me."

Mango's words made Boden break out in a cold sweat.

"Madam, please let me go. If anything happens to you, Mr. Ye won't forgive me even if I die."

"Nathan isn't as scary as you said he is. He won't do anything to you. He's just a little serious at times. Listen to me, if I can fight against Mr. Ye and win in a draw, then there wouldn't be any problem for me to

go up to the window, right?"

Mango's words shocked Boden once again.

"Madam, your skills are the same as Mr. Ye's?"

"Do you want to call your Mr. Ye?"

Mango glanced directly at Boden.

Boden was a little hesitant.

"Can't I go up the window while you stay here and watch out?"

"I've met Delilah before, but she has never seen you. If something happened, you can pretend to be a doctor or a patient to get me out. Since Delilah knows me, our whole plan would be exposed if she saw

me. Alright, that's settled."

After Mango finished, she took off her coat directly, and then easily climbed from another room to the window of Delilah's room.

Fortunately, in this weather, the window of the ward was open.

Mango was hanging outside the window like a lizard. She looked inside through the cracks of the window and was instantly stunned.
