The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) -
Chapter 930
"Yes, I just came to have a look. I haven't contacted your sister recently, so I don't know how she's doing."
Mango thought for a moment before replying. She had been trapped on the island by Kolton during this period of time, so she didn't know what was going on with Rainee However, it seemed that Rainie was so busy that she couldn't care about herself anymore.
What should she do with a paralyzed younger brother and a father who had a brain problem?
Her blue eyes darkened.
"Mango, can you do me a favor?"
"Sure."
"Can you help me find a job where I can work at home? I applied for an interpreter job, but I don't have enough time to send the thesis, so they didn't want me anymore. My family isn't doing well financially now and my sister is almost exhausted. I am the man of this family, so I can't let my sister work like this. I just want you to find me a job. It doesn't matter how much money I make as long as I can share some of my sister's burden."
Hearing Denver's words, Mango's turned a little sad.
Denver used to be a high spirited rich kid. However, he had become like this because of her relationship with the Ye family, so she felt sorry towards him.
"I'll help you. Don't worry."
"Mango, I know that you are kind, and you always think that the Ye family has something to do with what happened to the Blu family now. But my sister said that this is our misfortune, and it has nothing to do with you. She said that she is busy, and she can't help you much. But if you need her, you can tell her. She is still the same Rainie that you became friends with."
Mango's heart suddenly felt warm, but there was also a trace of burning sadness in it.
"Your sister and I are like sisters. Don't worry. I know that your family is very stubborn and won't accept my money. But I will pay attention to it. I will find you a job so that you can share some of the burdens for your family."
"Thank you, Mango."
Denver finally smiled brightly like the happy and vibrant boy she once knew.
Mango could no longer smiled.
When she came out of the Blu house, she felt so depressed and even a little uncomfortable.
Mango quickly called Nathaniel.
"Has Thomas come out yet?"
"He's out, but he doesn't look good."
Nathaniel's voice was a little down.
"I'm at the Blu family, and they're not doing fine."
Mango told him what happened to Denver.
Nathaniel did not hesitate and said in a low voice, "I will call the company. It's just that the translation studio is a bit busy recently. The company has planned to recruit people. In this case, let Denver do it. He used to be a rich kid after all, so I'm sure he's capable enough. I will arrange for people to fetch the drafts every day. It's inconvenient to transfer such important files through a computer. The salary will be the same.."
"Thank you, Nathan."
"You don't need to thank me. We're already married, right? After all, we owe the Blu family, but they are stubborn and won't accept charity. Oh yes! Have you seen Rainie?"
Upon hearing Nathaniel's question, Mango sighed and said, "She brought Uncle Blu to the nursing home. I think she's arranging for him to stay there. Alas! But, unfortunately, she doesn't have much savings herself, so I guess she's at the wits' end too."
"I'm here for Thomas. Don't worry. Be careful when dealing with Rainie. Don't hurt yourself. Call me if you need anything."
"All right."
Mango hung up the phone. She felt relieved. At least, she had gotten a job for Denver.
She got in the car and gave Ned the address before calling Desmond.
"Help me investigate Boston's whereabouts. He couldn't vanish from the face of the earth suddenly, right? We were busy with Koiton's matter that we completely forgot about him. I need to settle some things between us."
Mango's tone was cold.
Desmond agreed.
After hanging up, Mango leaned against the back of the chair. She felt extremely uncomfortable today as if the child in her stomach was also feeling the same. Her stomach was slightly painful. Mango didn't dare to move and just leaned against the seat to rest.
Soon, Ned drove the car to the address given by Denver.
Mango looked up. This was not a hospital but a small clinic. Its entrance was in tatters. She wondered how the condition inside was.
She was not looking down at the small clinic, but she was a little worried.
After Mango got out of the car, she pushed open the door and walked in. She didn't expect that there were so many people inside.
From afar, she saw Rainie supporting a middle-aged man as they were lining up.
There were all kinds of people here. Some men saw that Rainie was pretty, so they couldn't help but get close to her and purposely grind on her. Rainie frowned slightly, but she took Uncle Blu and leaned to the side. Seeing this opportunity, the people behind her suddenly squeezed in. "Hey! This is my seat."
Rainie tried to argue but was pushed aside by the people behind her.
"Your seat? Didn't you just go out? Go wait in line."
This was an older woman, who looked rather arrogant.
Rainie wanted to argue, but the man next to her leaned over again.
Mango was so angry that her chest was hurting.
She quickly stepped forward and kicked the man who was taking advantage of Rainie to the ground.
"How dare you take advantage of a woman in a public place? You're such a shameless b*stard!"
The man was caught off guard and was kicked in the face by Mango.
Mango's eyes suddenly glared at the older lady.
"We're all women. Why make things difficult for another woman? Besides, she's holding a patient. Can't you see that?"
The older lady had been rude to Rainie previously. But when she saw Mango, who was dressed glamorously, and Ned, who was following behind her like a bodyguard, she quickly took a step back and made way for Rainie.
Rainie's eyes turned a little wet, and she felt a little miserable.
"Why are you here?"
"Follow me!"
Mango grabbed Rainie's arm and pulled her out.
"Don't do that. My dad needs to see a doctor."
Rainie stopped where she was.
"To see a doctor? Here? At some rural area? Look at the environment here! Do you really think your father will be well? Rainie, you can be strong, and you can rely on no one, but can't you accept our help when you are in trouble? Are we still friends? Have I ever treated you as a stranger when I was in trouble? Have I refused your help? What! Sure, go on! You can't do what I do? It will make you look great. But it will cost you your father and brother's health. Do you think it's helpful to be stubborn at this time?
Mango was instantly enraged.
The people around them were looking at how Mango was scolding Rainie. So, she had no choice but to take Uncle Blu out of the clinic.
The wind outside was a little cold.
Rainie took her scarf and wrapped it around Uncle Blu.
Uncle Blu appeared to be a little out of his mind, and he did not feel anything either. His eyes looked in a direction, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he was muttering the names of his wife and Rainie repeatedly.
Rainie took out a paper towel and wiped Uncle Lan's face. She then looked at Mango, who was angry, and thought for a moment before saying, "I'm not as stubborn and aloof as you think, nor am I persistent. In the past, I always felt that I could treat money like dirt. It wasn't until today that I realized how easy it was for a hero to die without money. Mango, I've called you before, and I've also sent you a WhatsApp message to borrow money. You didn't reply to me. I didn't know what's going on with you, but the first thing I did was contacting you. It's true."
She looked at Mango with a hint of suppressed tears in her eyes.
Mango suddenly felt upset.
"I'm sorry, Kolton imprisoned me on an island some time ago. There's no signal there, so I didn't receive any message from you. Nathan was already busy because of me as he was looking for my whereabouts, so he must have neglected you. I'm sorry... Rainie! I didn't take good care of you..."
Mango suddenly became angry as she talked about it.
Rainie shook her head and tucked her long hair behind her ear. She smiled lightly and said, "See, everyone has their own things to do. I'm not complaining nor blaming you. However, I want to tell you that there are times where I really couldn't hold on anymore. Half of my dad's brain cells are dead. The doctor said that the cost of the operation is expensive, but... but I don't know if my brother's legs will recover o not. Now, I can't afford to pay the treatment fee, so I have no choice but to let him stay at home. Can I borrow some money from you? I don't know when I'll pay you back, but I will find jobs as soon as possible.
promise!"
Mango didn't know when she and Rainie had become such strangers.
The Rainie that she knew had always been high-spirited and vigorous. Even when she was an orphan, she had never been so humble. However, now that she had to borrow money from her, the inferiority that she was showing had deeply hurt Mango's heart.
"Rainie... do you know how it pains me to see you like this?"
"I don't want to become like this either. But I have no choice because I need the money! My dad can't wait any longer, and I don't know what will happen to my brother. I'm not in the mood to think about anything else. If you really treat me as a friend, can you lend me some money?"
"How much do you need?"
Mango knew that no matter what she said, she would not be able to change anything.
Rainie paused and whispered, "Eight million."
"All right, I'll give it to you. You can go with me to get the money. I'll arrange a hospital and an operation for Uncle Blu. Denver's leg can't wait as well. I've arranged a job for him to work. In addition, I'll hire a nurse. You are too tired alone, so you can't take care of two patients at the same
time."
Rainie did not object to Mango's arrangement.
"Whatever you say."
"Then follow me."
The three of them got into the car together.
After Ned started the car, Mango suddenly thought of something. She looked at Rainie and mumbled, "What's going on between you and Thomas?"
"We broke up."
Rainie's words were calm. There was no sadness or joy, nor was there any other emotion in them. This surprised Mango.
"Why?"
"I'm not good enough for him right now, and I don't want to burden him either. It's best if we break up."
Rainie turned her face away and held the door handle tightly.
Mango didn't have the heart to tell her about Thomas's car accident, nor did she know whether she should do so.
