The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 1956

Rita subconsciously leaned to one side and hid her body in the darkness. Her breathing was also a little hurried.

Jake didn't think too much about it. He directly opened the speaker button of his mobile phone, and a strange voice came from the other side.

"Mr. Fang, Klaus is a little hard to deal with. We can't break through his blockade. What do you think we should do?"

Jake's eyes slightly narrowed.

"Klaus is a powerful character. The arms trade at the border is his business. It's impossible for us to bypass. Moreover, I heard that Amor of the Laurent family wants him to come back and be the spokesperson of the Laurent family. Don't offend this person and think of a way to take him down. It's said that he dotes on a woman named Anne?"

Jake's voice was not loud, but because the villa was too empty, the sound still spread.

Rita frowned slightly, but she just eavesdropped quietly.

Upon hearing Jake's words, the man on the other end quickly said, "Yes, Anne and Klaus had a daughter named Allegra, who was adopted by the adoptive parents not long ago. Because of this, can we still get along well with Klaus?”

"Idiot! It's them who have angered Klaus. At the very least, it can only involve the Maximilian. What does it have to do with us? Tomorrow, send Klaus a letter of respect to say that I want to invite Klaus and Miss Anne to dinner."

"Okay, Mr. Fang."

After hanging up the phone, Rita leaned against the wall, her eyes half-closed. No one knew what she was thinking.

Jake didn't know all of this. He threw the phone aside, quickly made a few home-cooked dishes, and then brought them up.

When he came up, Rita leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the sky outside. No one knew what she was thinking. The loneliness and emptiness in her eyes made Jake feel uncomfortable.

"Stop looking at it. What's good outside? Come and eat something. Have a taste of my cooking skills, okay?"

Jake's smile was gentle. His shining eyes had once caused Rita's heart to thump, but now, she realized that there was only calmness left.

Her eyes were so complicated that Jake couldn't figure out what she was thinking now. He could only smile and say, "What's wrong? Did you find that I'm handsome again?"

"I found that I have no feelings for you anymore."

Rita's voice was not loud, but it made Jake's smile suddenly stiff.

"Rita, this joke is not funny at all."

"If you have to comfort yourself like this, then I have nothing to say."

Rita ended the topic directly.

It shouldn't be like this!

Jake felt that Rita had changed too much.

In the past, she always liked to follow him and ask questions. It seemed that she had endless words to say. Her vigorous look could affect everyone around her. But now, Rita was like an old woman, waiting for death day after day. She no longer had any brilliance and positive spirit, which inexplicably made people feel depressed and uncomfortable.

“Rita..."

"I don't want to eat. I want to rest."

Rita interrupted him directly, then lay down in front without any scruples, as if she had really fallen asleep.

Her skin was already white. At this time, because of her illness, the blue blood vessels under her skin could be seen, which was very heart-wrenching.

If it was someone else who was like this, he would definitely get angry. However, the person in front of him was Rita. Jake had only ordered someone to remove the food and then said in a low voice, "Rita, you can't do this. People have a mentality in their lives. If your mentality is better, naturally your conditions will be better. Have you forgotten? You once told me that any suffering that life gives you is actually a gift. You can only get the blessing and protection of heaven after defeating it, right? I will accompany you to defeat the disease. I believe you can do it."

The only response to Jake was the sound of Rita's breathing. She seemed to have really fallen asleep.

Jake was not discouraged. He pulled up the blanket and covered her with it before walking out.

It was already very dark outside, but Jake still went to the study. No one knew what he was busy with.

Rita had a good night's sleep.

When the sun came in through the French window the next day, Rita opened her eyes.

To be honest, the design on Jake's side was quite good. At the very least, it was something that Rita cared about. However, she was still a guest here.

The phone next to her kept ringing.

Rita glanced at it. It was a call from Mylo.

Mylo...

She didn't know when she started to feel sad when she thought of this name.

Rita paused for a moment, then quickly blocked the number. She then called Mango.

When Mango received a phone call from her daughter early in the morning, Mango was a little excited.

"Little girl, where have you been? Do you worry about me? Come back quickly! No matter what happened, with me and your father around, we won't allow anything to happen to you. Rita, do you want me to die of anxiety?"

Mango burst into tears as she spoke. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Over the years, Rita had rarely seen or heard Mango's cry.

Nathaniel gave all his patience and tenderness in his life to Mango, making her live like a carefree child. But at this age, Rita did not expect that she would be the one who made her mommy cry.

"Mom, I'm sorry. Dad will feel bad to see you like this."

Rita opened her mouth lightly, but there was a trace of sadness in her voice.

Mango immediately covered her mouth.

"Rita, I beg you, can you come back? Your brother's life is uncertain now, and we can't see him. Your older brother is missing too. You silly girl, have you ever thought about my mood as a mother? Isn't it just genetic variation? It's not a big deal. Our Ye family is rich. Your father and I have discussed it. We will take out half of our family property and set up a genetic mutated institute. We will hire the best scientist in the world to study your blood problem. Rita, you are our baby. You left without saying a word. You intend to kill your mother, huh?"

Originally, Mango could have pretended that she didn't know about Rita's condition and secretly thought of a way. However, since Rita disappeared, she had almost gone crazy.

She had gone through so many hardships to give birth to her daughter, but now she had to face the fact of seeing her daughter die before her. Mango could not stand it.

It had been a long time since Nathaniel had seen Mango so sad.

He hugged Mango from behind and said into the phone, "Rita, listen to Dad. Come home, you and your brother must have someone to accompany us, right? At that time, your mother risked her life to bring you and your brothers to this world. How can you bear to let her be so sad? You are strong. I know you are uncomfortable, and you have suffered too much. No matter what, come home or tell us where you are. We will go to find you. We must be family, no matter what."
