The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 292

"What? Has your embarrassment turned into anger? Are you using your status to punish me? If not, are you planning to kill me to ensure my silence? If so, you'd better make sure that you kill me during the first attempt. I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to handle my wrath otherwise."

At the time, Edolie had a very ferocious expression on her face.

Mango was suddenly rendered speechless.

"What the hell do you want?"

"Nothing else except for what we agreed on. I want Nathaniel to accompany me for three months, and whatever he has promised me is between me and him isn't it? So, I'll become your god-sister and the second daughter of the Shen family because he told me to. Furthermore, I still want you to fulfill what you promised me previously."

Mango felt that Edolie's words were quite shameless.

"Nathaniel and I are husband and wife, so our decisions will be the same. Why do you insist on segregating us?"

"Because I saved your daughter and I've done a great service to the Ye Family. Is that good enough reason for you?"

Right then, Edolie looked particularly brazen and Mango had no idea what to say to her.

"It seems like we can't come to an agreement on this, can we?"

"There's nothing to agree to. Right, I'm thirsty, so pour me some hot water!"

Edolie's words were meant for Mango.

Mango was furious, but she still endured it. She got up and poured a glass of water before she handed it to Edolie.

Then, Edolie sneered as she splashed the hot water directly onto Mango's face.

"Ah!"

Then, Mango screamed loudly as she felt a burning pain on her face.

Meanwhile, the nurse was frightened and she hurriedly went to get a wet towel for Mango.

However, Edolie's tone was cold when she said, "This is a punishment for breaking the contract! You better remember this, because I won't be so merciful the next time!"

"You..."

Mango trembled with anger as she raised her hand in front of Edolie's pale face. Alas, she couldn't bring herself to slap her.

"Mango, what are you doing?"

Suddenly, Madam Ye showed up out of nowhere. After that, she hurriedly pushed Mango away when she saw that Mango was about to hit Edolie.

"Edolie saved Rita's life! I told you to come and thank her, but this is your sign of gratitude?"

Madam Ye's words stunned Mango before she tried to explain, but Edolie suddenly hugged Madam Ye's waist as she wept. "Madam Ye, don't blame Mango, it's my fault. I should've left immediately after the surgery instead of staying. It's my fault that Mango hates me! I'm going to leave now."

With this, Edolie lifted the quilt and acted as if she was actually getting off the bed. This caused Madam Ye to stop her quickly out of fear.

"Don't move! How can you do this after you've just finished your surgery? As long as I'm here, no one can touch you!"

Madam Ye said angrily before she turned and glared at Mango. Then, she said, "I thought you were kind, how could you be so ungrateful?"

"No, Mom, it's her..."

"Get out!"

Madam Ye didn't listen to Mango's explanation at all and she immediately interrupted Mango with a yell. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Mango's face was burning in pain and the water stains on her back were still wet. Alas, her disheveled appearance could not compare to Edolie's performance.

Edolie hid behind Madam Ye as she sneered at Mango.

She'd picked up a lot of skills living out on the streets, so Mango was an easy target for her.

She had always gotten what she wanted, and even if she couldn't obtain it, there was no way she'd let Mango be happy.

Meanwhile, Mango was extremely pissed off but she knew that it was pointless to say anything else right now.

She quickly turned around and left the ward, but Madam Ye was held back by Edolie.

"Don't do that, Madam Ye. After all, she is the young mistress of the Ye Family."

Edolie said this in a very aggrieved and timid tone.

Thus, Madam Ye was held back by Edolie just in time, so she didn't see the water stains on Mango's back. Furthermore, she assumed that the redness on Mango's face was caused by anger so she didn't think that there was any more of it.

"It's fine, I'm still the head of the Ye Family. Just relax and recover here, and you can tell me if you need anything."

Madam Ye felt quite sorry for Edolie as Edolie had sacrificed a kidney in order to save her granddaughter.

Then, Edolie lowered her head and said plaintively, "Mr. Ye came to see me earlier and he gave me some money and a card, but Mango didn't like that and she threw the card away. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken Mr. Ye's money."

With this, she struggled to pick up the bank card to return it to Madam Ye.

Then, Madam Ye's face fell instantly as she saw the bank card on the ground.

"What on earth is going on with Mango?" She thought.

She was all right before, but why did she become like this after she met Edolie?

Was she just putting on an act before?

Madam Ye was full of doubts, but she didn't express them. Instead, she just stopped Edolie before she picked up the card and placed it back into Eddie's hands.

"Since Nathan gave it to you, then it's yours. Don't be afraid, I'm here to support you. I've already notified the media that I'm going to adopt you as my goddaughter, so you'll be an esteemed member of the Ye Family. In the future, no one will ever dare to bully you again."

However, Edolie quickly shook her head at Madam Ye's words.

"No, no, no! I can't be your goddaughter!"

"What are you afraid of? Mango won't say a word of complaint after I've made up my mind."

Madam Ye couldn't help but raise her voice as she thought that Edolie was afraid of Mango.

However, Edolie shook her head and said, "Mr. Ye said that I have ties with the Shen family as Mango saved me, so he asked me to become their goddaughter. Hence, I am to be called Edolie Shen, so I think Mango is angry with me because of that."

Madam Ye was stunned for a moment after hearing Eddie's words.

"Mango has saved your life before?"

"Yeah, otherwise why would I donate a kidney to Miss Rita? I was kidnapped by Nanny Zhang at the base to be sold off overseas and Mango saved me and the other women on the base. Hence, I only donated my kidney to repay Mango for her kindness."

Madam Ye was surprised at Edolie's words as she didn't know that something like that had happened.

"Why would Mango hit you just because you want to repay her kindness?"

When Edolie heard Madam Ye's question, she immediately put on an aggrieved expression.

"Nothing really, it's just because Mr. Ye came to see me after he completed his surgery. Other than that, he gave me a card and some money, so Mango misunderstood as she thought that I was trying to seduce Mr. Ye, so..."

Next, Madam Ye sighed right after she heard that.

"Mango is perfect except for her tendency to get jealous. How old are you? You're nothing but a child to Nathan, and he only did that out of gratitude for saving Rita. Ah, Mango's jealousy is easily triggered. Well, I don't think she has any malicious intent towards you, and I'm sure she's a good person as she saved you without knowing who you are. Don't worry, I'll talk to her about this, so please just stay here and take care of yourself. As for you being the Shen family's goddaughter, I'll talk to Nathan about this."

Madam Ye stroked Edolie's hair with a kind expression on her face.

Meanwhile, Edolie never expected her earlier words would cause Madam Ye to stop blaming Mango.

Initially, she thought that Madam Ye would blame Mango for being jealous and difficult, but she never expected Madam Ye to change her impression of

Mango.

Edolie was a little annoyed, but she still nodded obediently and said, "I got it, thank you, Madam Ye. Please don't blame Mango for this, I think she just cares too much for Mr. Ye.'¹

"I understand. Rest well, I have to leave now."

Madam Ye was just about to ask the whereabouts of the nurse she hired when the nurse ran into the room with a cold towel in her hand. Next, the nurse paused for a moment when she saw Madam Ye.

"Is this towel for Edolie?"

Madam Ye thought that the nurse had gone to get a towel for Edolie to wipe her face. Then, Edolie quickly winked at the nurse as a signal for her to stay quiet.

Hence, the nurse could only nod her head when she noticed that Mango was no longer in the room.

"There's no need for you to go outside next time as there's a bathroom right here."

Madam Ye thought that the nurse didn't know about the bathroom, so she left some instructions for the nurse before she left the room.

After Madam Ye left, Edolie turned to the nurse and said threateningly, "If you still want to stay in this city, you'd better watch what you say."

The nurse shuddered as she recalled Edolie's treatment towards Mango, so how could a lowly nurse like her dare to go against someone like Edolie? Hence, she nodded her head before she returned to her post next to Edolie.

Meanwhile, Madam Ye had returned to Rita's ward but she didn't see Mango anywhere.

She couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"Rita, where's Mommy?"

"Didn't Mommy go out earlier? Didn't you run into her on the way back? Mommy hasn't come back to the ward."

Rita looked at Madam Ye doubtfully.

Next, Madam Ye's expression turned slightly grim.

If Mango didn't return after she left Eddie's ward, where else could she have gone?

Was Mango being petty just because Madam Ye chastised her earlier?

How did she not notice that Mango was so dramatic before?

Did she become spoiled just because she discovered that she was part of the Hans family?

These questions flashed through Madam Ye's mind quickly, but she didn't say anything.

Then, she smiled at Rita and said, "Mommy might've gone out to get you something delicious to eat, I'm sure she'll be back in a moment."

"Grandma, how long do you think I'll take to heal? I can't wait to go outside and play,"

In fact, Rita was quite impatient.

Madam Ye smiled as she looked at her granddaughter and said, "It won't take long at all if you listen to everything that the doctor says. If you do that, then you can go out and play very soon."

"Really?"

"Of course, would grandma ever lie to you?"

Rita giggled gleefully at Madam Ye's words.

Soon enough, the room was filled with Rita's happy laughter.

Madam Ye was once again grateful to Edolie. If it wasn't for her, her granddaughter wouldn't even have a future to look forward to.

After that, Mango opened the door and entered as Rita was busy playing.

Madam Ye glanced at her and she saw that Mango had changed her clothes and even put on some makeup.

Madam Ye sighed slightly as she thought of what Edolie said.

Indeed, Mango lacked confidence.

How could a young girl like Edolie make Mango so uneasy? She even took the effort to dress up at a time like this, so did she really think Nathaniel only valued her for her looks?

When did Mango become so superficial?
