The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 2024

Anton went outside and looked at his mother's grief. For the first time, he felt that he had done something wrong.

He always thought that his mother's feelings for his father were not as strong as his father's, but he didn't know that after losing his father, her mother would lose the courage to live.

Anton suddenly became scared.

He quickly opened the door and went in. He put his coat on Haniya’s body and held her tightly in his arms.

"Mom, don't be like this. You still have me. I'm not married yet, and I don't even have a girlfriend! You can't leave me alone! You're already an incompetent wife in this life. Do you want to be an incompetent mother?"

The warm embrace did not give Haniya any warmth. Even the familiar scent made it impossible for her to walk out of her grief.

She wanted to be strong, give her son a home, and even say "I'm fine" to her son, but she couldn't say a word.

Desmond was lying there alone, which made her heartbroken and painful.

Desmond was an orphan and had no relatives. Even when he left, he was still alone.

She didn't want to know how Desmond died. So what if she knew?

In the end, he was gone.

She only knew that she couldn't let Desmond leave alone.

Haniya suddenly fell into Anton's arms and whispered, "Anton, your father looks very lonely, indifferent, and out of line. In fact, he loves to be lively because the bustle can make him feel that he is living in the sun. He doesn’t like being quiet, and he is even afraid of being quiet. He needs some noise to really sleep well."

"Mom, don't do this!"

Haniya's behavior made Anton a little uneasy. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Haniya said as if she didn't hear it, "Your father doesn't like white, but he will stay in a white environment for the rest of his life. In fact, he doesn't like the smell of disinfectant, but he has dealt with it all his life. Anton, your father's body can't be taken away. It can't!"

"Mom, dad signed the donation agreement by himself. Don't make it hard for him."

"What do you know? You don't know anything!"

Haniya suddenly pushed Anton away. Looking at Desmond, who was covered with a layer of frost, she cried and said, "When your father was in your grandma's belly, he was treated as a target and a monster by all kinds of experiments and research. From the moment he came to this world, he couldn't control his life, because his unique blood had to be locked up in the laboratory and studied and explored over and over again. He once said that he hated that place so much, and how he is dead you guys want him to be experimented on again?"

No one had told Anton about Desmond's past. It was the first time he had heard about his father's life, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

"In the past, your father and I didn't tell you because he felt that you could live a good life. There was no need to know these things so as not to feel sad. But now you have to know what your father

hated most in his life. Why did I scheme against Rita? Why didn't I want him to get involved? It was because I knew that he didn't like it! I knew that doing this would step on his bottom line, but I still did it. In your father's life, I always felt that it was Nathaniel and Mango who brought him sunshine and gave him a new life. So for the sake of the Ye family, he would do it even if he didn't like it. But I felt distressed! That was my man. I knew better than anyone else that he hated the institute so much that he vomited the moment he smelled the smell. I could only see him come back from work after a day. I had to wash my hands seven or eight times. He didn't even want to have any smell of disinfectant on me. He could do other jobs, and he had more choices. He should have gone to set up a special team at that time. That was your father's favorite industry. But because of the problem with Rita's blood, your father took the initiative to ask to set up a new team, and he came to be the leader of this team. Do you think he likes research so much? No! In this life, what your father hates the most is research. But for the Ye family and Rita, he threw away what he likes. I saw that he clearly rejected me to death, but still took the responsibility. Do you know what I feel in my heart? How can I not be resentful? How can I not hate him?"

Haniya's voice was hoarse.

"You and your father both think I'm a liar. I admit that in terms of the Bell family, I did hold back my anger. I want everyone to know that I, who was abandoned by the Bell family, can live a better life than anyone else now! I have such vanity, but I also hope that my efforts can make your father live a more relaxed life. Your father's life is too bitter, and he may not live a good life. I want him to do what he likes to do, and I want him to do the work he likes. So when Mango and Nathaniel were about to leave the capital, he asked me if I wanted to go with him. I said I would not go, because I knew that once I stayed, your father would stay. At that time, he would not be always about the Ye family, and he might live for me. But who would have thought that Rita's illness would drag him back? Before her illness was found, your father was in high spirits and he was happy. No matter how bitter and tired the military training was, he would face it with a smile. But since her illness broke out, your father had no more smiles on his face, and his brows were tightly knitted and never

loosened. I don't have a strong background, and I can't do anything. The only thing I can do is take over his research and let him leave the research institute he hates."

"I was the one who plotted against him. I knew it was my fault. I was the one who let Mango and the child down. I couldn't fall asleep all night. The moment I closed my eyes, I could only see Mango's eyes full of criticism and disappointment. I dreamed of Rita standing in front of me, covered in blood. I was terrified, but I didn't regret it! I will love my own man! Even if I betrayed friendship and my conscience, I only wanted your father

to live happily! But why did this happen? Why would he die? Why did I try so hard to separate him from the Ye family? Why did he still sacrifice his life for me and the Ye family? From beginning to end, I wanted only Desmond, my beloved Desmond! But I lost him."

Haniya fell to the ground crying, but she looked at Desmond's body and said firmly, "This time, no matter who it is, I will not let them take Desmond away, nor will I let them send Desmond to the most disgusting place in his life. Even if I have to be the enemy of the whole world, I don't care!"
