The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 780

Walter was stunned.

"Genevieve? What's she doing here?"

At that instant, Mango recalled of an issue.

"Give me a moment, I'll be right back."

Mango rushed towards Genevieve as she spoke.

Walter frowned as he felt that this matter wasn't as simple as he thought, so he followed Mango without asking for her permission.

"Genevieve, how was it? Did you get the results?"

Mango asked with great concern.

Genevieve handed the blood test report to Mango.

"Just as you said, there is poison in the blood and it is slowly accumulating but it's difficult to solve this issue."

Walter came to them as soon as Genevieve finished speaking.

"What is it that is difficult to solve?"

Mango was stunned when she saw Walter coming over.

"What are you doing here?" "Is there anything that you are hiding from me?" Walter looked at Mango and there was no way Mango could hide it from him any longer as she looked at his gaze.

"I didn't mean to hide it from you but I think it's better to talk about it when everyone's here."

Mango put away the test report subconsciously.

Walter nodded his head although he felt nervous when he saw Mango's behavior. "Fine, I'll wait."

He glanced at Genevieve before taking the initiative to bring Henry into the hospital. Only then did Mango let out a sigh of relief.

Genevieve whispered when she saw Mango's reaction, "You haven't told him yet?"

"I didn't get the chance to but I'll tell them about it later when everyone is here as Carter will be coming too. We'll let the police inform them about the issues that we can't reveal them ourselves." Mango didn't want to conceal the truth but she didn't want to repeat the issue every time she saw one of them.

Genevieve patted her on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "I know it's hard on you as it's not a good idea to tell them nor to hide it from them."

"You're right... Walter cares a lot about his reputation and I'm afraid that he might burst with anger after hearing the truth as Novalee's incident was already quite a blow to him."

Mango sighed.

Genevieve shook her head and said, "You're the only person who could tell them considering your relationship with Walter and it's best if you let them know rather than having anyone else reveal it." "That's not necessarily the case as Walter almost avenged me for Novalee's death."

Genevieve was completely stunned upon hearing Mango's words.

"No way! Does Walter have such deep feelings for Novalee?"

"He may not love her but he attaches great importance to friendship, as you know and Novalee has done a lot for him. She even sacrificed her life to free him from threat in the end and Walter could never repay the debt of gratitude for the rest of his life. He will surely feel more pressured deep down as he couldn't return the favor and I guess Novalee is Walter's karma."

Genevieve nodded her head as she heard Mango's words.

"That's true... Everyone has their karma in the present life and perhaps Novalee has brought a disaster to Walter's life. Anyhow, he will probably live a better life in the future after this incident is over." "I hope so."

Mango took a deep breath and continued, "I need to go now as I'll have to check on Henry's condition since I promised Novalee to take good care of him. This child has been locked up in an apartment by Novalee and he has probably been in hunger for quite a few days..."

"Alright, go ahead and be careful yourself. I'll go back now as there are several things that I need to settle in my hospital."

"Alright."

Mango bid Genevieve goodbye and rushed into the hospital before she found Walter and Henry according to Walter's guide. "How is it going?"

Mango asked worriedly as she saw that the doctor was still checking on Henry.

"Nothing serious as Henry is just exhausted and he'll be fine after receiving the nutrient fluid."

Walter whispered.

As they were talking, Carter and Nathaniel arrived followed by Thomas.

"What is he doing here?"

Walter wasn't happy to see Thomas and he would probably have driven Thomas out if Mango and Nathaniel weren't around.

Carter couldn't help but say after hearing Walter's words, "Why can't he be here since he's your brother?"

"I have never accepted him as my brother since the past and neither will I do so in the future."

Carter's expression darkened after hearing Walter's words.

"You unfilial son! You..."

"Uncle Song, I think it's better if you let me finish my words before you talk to him, is that okay?"

Mango stopped Carter in time.

At that instant, Carter shut his mouth perhaps because he was concerned about Mango's identity or Nathaniel's presence. On the other hand, Thomas's expression seemed gloomy as he felt sad being rejected by others and he was even an illegitimate child.

"Mr. and Mrs. Ye, should I wait outside?"

Thomas was about to leave as he spoke but Mango stopped him.

"Thomas, you should stay as this matter has something to do with you too. We won't stop you if you want to leave after hearing the truth, but we think that you have the right to know the issue no matter what happens. Also, you should know that we won't change our attitude toward you just because your identity changes, do you understand?"

Mango was really afraid that Thomas wouldn't be able to handle the truth as she was aware of the relationship between him and Nathaniel. She knew that Nathaniel had always treated Thomas as his brother although they had considered each other as master and servant throughout the years.

Thomas was stunned when he heard Mango's words.

"It has something to do with me?"

"Yes, you'll know it after you hear me out."

Mango looked at Nathaniel and she took out her phone only after seeing his nod.

"Some time ago, I found out a matter by accident and I think it's better to let all of you know about it as I'm currently Sophia's niece and Walter's cousin. I intervened in the Song family's affairs as this issue has something to do with my aunt, Sophia.

Mango glanced at Carter as she spoke.

He was very surprised as she expected.

"You are Sophia's niece? How is that possible? Sophia was raised in a single-parent family and she doesn't have any siblings. Also, her mother was working as a maid in my family at that time and I'm well aware of this as her mother said that Sophia is her only daughter."

Mango was confused upon hearing Carter's words but she still told him what Sophia had told her as she thought that there was no reason for Sophia to lie to her.

At that instant, Carter was entirely shocked.

"Sophia is the child of the Xiao family? How is that possible? I never knew it and I thought..."

"What did you assume? When did you ever care about my mother genuinely? I'm really wondering what is the reason for you to marry my mother in the first place as she has no power nor money and she was even the daughter of your family's maid... Why the hell did you get engaged with her? Don't tell me that it's true love as you cheated on her within a year of your marriage! Is this how you show your love? Carter could no longer hold back himself after hearing Walter's sarcastic words.

"The relationship between your mother and I is none of your business!"

"Why not? My mother has been insane for so many years yet you barely cared about her! She lived in her sweet dreams and the promises that you gave her and she refused to wake up all these years, but what about you? You have been living a carefree life with your mistress... Are you sure that you've loved my mother? I really hope we can travel back in time so that my mother can make better decisions!" Walter said harshly.

At that moment, Carter became speechless.

He had no idea what to refute.

Indeed, he had never visited Sophia in the past few years and he probably wouldn't have done so recently if he hadn't been worried about Walter.

It was not that he didn't want to, but it was just that he didn't have the guts to visit Sohpia, though it was impossible for him to explain this to Walter.

Thomas stood there motionlessly as he didn't know how to react to the current situation while he listened to their conversation. He remained still and emotionless on the spot while no one could tell how he truly felt deep down.

Walter wanted to say a few more words seeing that Carter was speechless but Mango stopped him.

"Let's not talk about the past and let Auntie and Uncle Song sort out their own relationship. Now, please be mentally prepared for the matter that I'm going to tell you as I was really shocked when I

heard it."

Mango turned on her phone as she spoke before clicking on a recording and the voices of Yu Wei and Delilah came to their ears.

Carter had lived with Delilah for many years and it was impossible for him to not recognize her voice.

He held his breath the moment he heard Delilah's voice and his expression darkened as he continued listening to the recording. Thomas's expression changed too.

He was shocked initially but he started feeling angry and was left with absolute shame towards the end of the voice file.

No one spoke throughout the entire moment.

Walter held his hands tightly as he had a strong urge to break Delilah's bones only if she was right in front of him now.

Everyone remained silent even when the long recording finally ended as they felt heavy-hearted with added weight on their shoulders, especially Carter.

His expression fluctuated drastically and it was obvious from his red face that he was furious.

He abandoned his legal wife for Delilah and even lived with her for so many years yet she had been partnering with an outsider and scheming against him just to get his property. Delilah even wished that Carter could die as soon as possible.

Moreover, Carter had always felt really sorry for Thomas deep down yet it turned out that he wasn't even his biological son!

How foolish he was!

Rage pulsed through Carter's veins as he realized how he had been living like a blockhead all these years yet he had been enjoying his life.

Carter looked at Walter at once.

It was only at this moment that he realized that Walter was his only son and the mere person who could continue his bloodline. Carter wanted to know how Walter felt about this incident but Walter did not look at him at all.

Instead, Walter stared straight at Mango and asked in a low voice, "What did Genevieve give you just now?"

"It's Auntie's blood test report as I told Genevieve to perform a test on Auntie's blood after I got this recording."

"What's the result?"

Walter didn't care who was affiliated with Delilah and neither did he bother whether Delilah cheated on his father and if Thomas was his biological brother as his mother was the most important to him.

He just hoped that his mother could be safe and healthy.

At that moment, Mango felt that she was really cruel as Walter was looking at her with high hopes. She didn't have the heart to reveal the result although it had nothing to do with her.

Mango took out the blood test report from her pocket and handed it to Walter hesitantly.

"You'd better see it by your own."

After taking the test report, Walter's expression changed in an instant.
