The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 772

"Mind your own business, or don't blame me for what's going to happen to you and your children!"

It was an unknown text message, it was because Mango had not set up an unfamiliar number.

And it was also a threatening text message.

They probably knew she was involved in Walter and Novalee's matter, hence she was threatened.

The thing that Mango hated the most was that they used her children to threaten her.

They should go after her for any issue because it had nothing to do with her kids.

She directly dialed back the number, but they quickly hung up.

Mango looked at it and found out that the number belonged to Ocean City.

Which meant that someone was watching her in Ocean City.

Who could it be?

Mango's brows furrowed slightly.

However, she did not pay too much attention to it. She planned to investigate it secretly before she called Nathaniel.

"How is it? Have you found Cyrus?"

Mango asked in a hurry after Nathaniel picked up the phone.

"I found him. I have asked someone to take him back. The maid, Itzel, was also taken back. They are planning to run away from the country. They even spend some of the money lona's father left for her. Fortunately, there are still a lot left, it's enough for her to finish her studies."

Nathaniel said with mixed feelings.

Mango had never experienced something like this before, but she knew that lona must feel very uncomfortable.

"When you're done, come back early. Is the child with you now?"

"No, lona went home as she wanted to talk to her dad. It's pitiable. She's an orphan without her parents around, which meant that she had to do everything on her own. We should take good care of ourselves. Don't ever let such things happened to our children."

Nathaniel seemed to be easily sad today.

Mango nodded and said, "Come home, Auntie is at our house, and Walter is still at the hospital. When we left, someone jumped off the building. A large number of reporters went there, and we were almost stuck there. But everything's fine now. I need to tell you something, so come home now."

Hearing Mango's words, Nathaniel hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll come home now. By the way, what would you like to eat? I'll bought some along the way. I'm a little tired today, so I don't want to cook anymore." "Let the housekeeper do it."

Mango said casually.

Nathaniel mumbled, "Lucy's grandson is a month old today, so she took a day off. There is no one at home. Sisi and Newell went to pick out a wedding dress and said that they were going to get married, so..." It was only now that Mango noticed how quiet the house was.

She smiled, "I feel that everyone is busy, besides us."

"I'm not free. I work every day to earn money. You're not free either. Aren't you still participating in the design competition?"

Nathaniel's words caused Mango's expression to relax a little.

"Yes, after we're done dealing with Novalee's matter, I have to go all out on the competition. I hope to get a good result at that time." "It's absolutely possible. My wife is so smart and beautiful. It would be a shame if you didn't win, doesn't it?"

"You really do have a way with words. If you happen to pass by a bakery buy me some bread. I suddenly crave for it. And buy some nutritious porridge for auntie. She needs all the nutritious now."

By the time Mango finished speaking, Nathaniel had already memorized it.

"Okay. See you later."

"Drive slowly. I'll be waiting for you at home."

"All right."

The corners of Mango's lips were still slightly raised even when they had hung up the phone.

It was her dream to live a life like this with Nathaniel.

It would be even better if Zion came back.

After Mango put down the phone, she felt that the house was very quiet. She was a little unaccustomed to it.

She didn't expect that Sisi and Newell were going to get married.

She remembered when Nathaniel talked about this matter with her in the past. She and Madam Ye and Isla were like mothers and daughters. Now their marriage was going to happen, and she also had many things going on in her life.

Mango was not an emotional person but she was extremely sad today.

Sisi treated her quite well. In order to protect her, she was almost sent to prison by Isla. At the thought of this, Mango decided to give a good wedding gift to her.

Just when she was about to take out her phone and picked out some gifts, Walter called her.

"How's my mother?"

"She's asleep."

Mango turned to looked at the guest room, no single sound came from it.

Walter pinched his temple wearily and whispered, "Novalee is out of the operating room."

"How is it going?"

Mango was a little nervous. No matter what Novalee had done, she still remembered that kind and lovely Novalee when she first met her.

Walter's voice sounded a little hoarse.

"It's not very good. The doctor said that she might not hold on for too long. Do you want to come over? She said that she wants to see you." Mango was somewhat hesitant when she heard Walter's words.

"I don't really want to. Walter, you know our history.

I don't want to hear her last words."

"But she wants you to come over. Mango, she's dying. I think it's okay to listen to her, isn't it?"

Walter's voice made Mango's heart ache for him.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm not sure. Other than you, she's the first woman that I wanted to protect for the rest of my life, but who would've thought things would end up like this."

Walter pretended to be humorous, but that only made Mango's heart ached even more.

"Don't be like this. Perhaps you're just not meant to be together."

"Maybe."

Walter released a sigh and said, "My mother is in the Ye's Mansion, right?"

"Yes."

"I think Nathaniel has changed the securities of the Ye family recently. They should be alright. Let my mother rest in your house. If it's possible, I still want you to come here. If Nathaniel is worried, he can come here too."

Walter's tone was somewhat pleading.

Since he had already said so, Mango couldn't find it in her to reject him.

"Okay. I'll go as soon as I've packed up."

"Thank you, Mango. On behalf of Novalee, thank you."

"That won't be necessary. You're not anyone to her. If she wants to thank me, she should thank me by herself."

As soon as Mango finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Novalee was dying!

This news was rather surprising to Mango, but it made sense at the same time.

She didn't know what kinds of suffering did a person had to go through to be in such pain. When she thought about how Novalee was thrown into the dumpster like trash, Mango couldn't find it in her to hate Novalee anymore.

At the end of the day, Novalee did not do any real harm to her. She only hurt her with words. Even though she had kidnapped and threatened her before but it was because she loved Walter, now that she was going to die. Mango should really let it go.

Everything would be gone once they die.

Mango sighed and went back to her room to change into a new set of clothes. It just so happened that Boden had returned.

"Madam, are you going out?"

"Yes. How is the thing that I asked you to do?"

Mango asked in a hurry.

Boden smiled and said, "I've taken the caretaker to somewhere safe and asked our people to guard her. Madam, you are a prophetic. When I went there, someone tried to kill her, but I saved her. She heard that I was there to save her, so she followed me without hesitation."

When Mango saw Boden's happy expression, she couldn't help but smile and say, "You've done a great job. I'm going out for a while. You're going to protect my aunt at home, all right?"

"But I am your bodyguard. Madam, aren't you going to bring me out with you?"

Boden sounded so cute when he asked the question, which made Mango's smile deepened.

"You don't have to follow me. I'll go to the hospital. It's not dangerous. When Nathaniel comes back, you can tell him. I'll come back when it's over."

"Oh, okay, you really don't need me to follow you?"

"There's really no need."

Mango patted him on the shoulder and walked out of the room.

She drove a low-key car out and soon arrived at the Central Hospital.

Walter told her the room number.

When Mango saw Novalee again, she lay on the bed lifelessly. She stared straight at the ceiling. Mango wasn't quite sure what she was thinking about. Perhaps she was thinking about her short life, or perhaps she was thinking about the things that will happen after her death.

When Walter saw Mango coming, he quickly got up and walked over to her.

"You're here?"

"That's right!"

Mango nodded her head.

Walter looked behind Mango and then frowned.

"You came here alone? Where is Nathaniel?"

"Nathan went to find Cyrus and hasn't come home yet. I came here first because I was afraid that I wouldn't have enough time."

Mango's voice was not loud, but it was still heard by Novalee.

"You went out to find Cyrus? Have you found him?"

"Yes."

Mango walked over to Novalee's side and placed her bag aside. Looking at her pale and colorless face, she couldn't help but recall how healthy she used to be, how youthful and lively she was.

"Are you feeling better?"

"Can I be better now with my current state?"

Novalee said with wry smile, she seemed to realize that her attitude was not very good and quickly whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm in a bad mood."

"It's fine. I'm used to it."

Mango's words made Novalee feel even more ashamed.

"Ms. Shen, do you think that I am a really bad person?"

"You can't say that. Everyone's point of view is different, and the things they do won't be the same. It's not the same thing. So why did you ask me to come here? Is there anything you need me to do?" Mango asked straightforwardly with no hesitation.

She and Novalee might never be friends in this life, so there was no point in beating around the bush.

Novalee was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Mango to be so straightforward, but once she thought about it, she came to a realization as well.

Mango did not care about what she did at all.

She was acting like an idiot this entire time. She jumped around with all kinds of ugly behaviors and yet she received nothing. Instead, it caused her life at such a young age.

The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt.

Novalee pulled the cover over her body and began to sob.

Walter watched from the side, he wanted to comfort her. But he didn't know what to say. Mango, on the other hand, said nothing.

It was too late for Novalee to feel ashamed or guilty at this point. After all, there was no reset button in life.

Novalee cried for a while before she lifted the cover. After she dried her eyes, she looked straight at Mango.
