The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 374

Andrea's scream was ear- splitting, and it really seemed like her stomach was aching terribly.

The bodyguards outside glanced at each other. Although Terrance had told them Andrea was full of tricks, they also knew that she was very important to Madam Hans. They might not be able to bear the consequences if anything happened to her.

Then, the two of them ran inside quickly.

"Miss Yu, are you all right?"

"My tummy hurts!"

Andrea was putting on the performance of her life with her heart-wrenching tears.

However, the two bodyguards didn't notice and they said, "Wait here, we'll get a doctor for you."

"Ouch, I think I have a cramp, so can one of you please help me? I need to sit up!"

Andrea was breathless from her crying.

Then, the bodyguards glanced at each other before one of them quickly reached out a hand to her.

"Miss Yu, take my hand, I'll pull you up."

Andrea smirked coldly when she saw how gentlemanly he was acting before she quickly took hold of his hand. Then, she said, "Please be gentle, I'm in a lot of pain."

"All right."

No matter how strong-willed the bodyguard was, he was still swayed by Andrea's soft hand, her pitiful tears and her coy voice.

Meanwhile, Andrea knew exactly what he was thinking as she'd seen plenty of men like these when she followed her father around.

When the bodyguard pulled her up, she threw herself into his arms.

"Ah, it hurts!"

Andrea scared the bodyguard so much that he nearly shoved her away, but he froze when she shouted in pain.

"Miss Yu, are you all right?"

At that moment, Andrea heard a set of footsteps from the outside.

Having grown up together with Dylan, she could clearly recognize the sound of his footsteps.

Then, Andrea pulled on the bodyguard's hand as she took off part of her coat, which revealed her milky white shoulder. Tears flowed out of her eyes as she screamed, "No!

Please don't!"

The bodyguard was incredibly stunned by this chain of events. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"What are you doing, Miss Yu? Let go of me!"

The other bodyguard noticed that something was obviously wrong and he stepped forward to pull Andrea away.

"Miss Yu, you'd better let go if you know what's good for you!"

"How dare you!"

Dylan arrived at the ward in an instant.

Rage ripped through his chest when he saw that Andrea's clothes had been ripped away and that two men were pulling at her.

"Let go of her!"

As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed one of the bodyguard's collars before he threw a punch.

"Dylan, save me!"

Andrea was breathless from crying and her distress seemed genuine.

Dylan was already in love with Andrea before this, so he obviously would not stand by and watch as the woman he fancied was violated by two men. He managed to subdue the two bodyguards in no time, and he carried Andrea in his arms after that.

"Let's go!"

Then, Andrea leaned into Dylan's embrace pitifully as she cried, "I'm so scared, Dylan."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you ever again!"

Hence, Dylan thought that he was being very gallant, but unbeknownst to him, Andrea was smiling wickedly in his arms.

After a long time, the bodyguards managed to come to and they immediately called Terrance.

"Mr. Hans, someone has taken Miss Yu away. We weren't able to stop him as he was too strong."

Terrance was surprised, but he was glad that Andrea had been taken away.

"Don't worry about it and just come back first. It doesn't matter who's taken her away bacuse it doesn't concern us. Just tell my mother the truth when you return."

"Yes sir!"

The bodyguards breathed a sigh of relief when Terrance did not punish them.

Meanwhile, Dylan had driven Andrea to his place after he brought her out of the hospital.

Truth be told, he was quite simple when it came to his living quarters.

However, Andrea looked around at the hotel which was barely rated four- stars and crinkled her nose in disgust, "You live here, Dylan?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?"

"Well, I don't really like it."

After that, she leaned into his embrace and said, "Staying here makes me think of what the two bodyguards did to me. If you came any later, I'm afraid..."

As Andrea spoke, she began to cry.

"Hey, hey, don't be afraid. Everything's fine now, isn't it? If you're dissatisfied, I could always go back and teach them a lesson."

In fact, Dylan couldn't bear to watch Andrea cry and he would be panicked whenever she shed tears.

On the other hand, Andrea felt great satisfaction when she saw how concerned Dylan was for her.

"There's no need for that, but I am a little hungry. I don't think the hotel has nice food by the looks of the room, so do you mind getting me some food from a nearby restaurant?"

Andrea's eyes were glazed over with tears as she looked at Dylan. Hence, he was heartbroken and he quickly agreed to her request.

"Okay, I'll buy you whatever you want to eat."

As he spoke, he quickly walked out to buy the food.

After Dylan left, Andrea wiped her tears away to reveal a proud smile.

She had men like Dylan at her beck and call. Although he was good to her, she always found men like him to be lacking something.

After all, everything in life was just a transaction. Thus, the men who treated her kindly seemed spineless to her.

Then, Nathaniel popped into her mind.

The way Nathaniel treated Mango kindly and the fact that he was indifferent to other women mystified Andrea.

That was what a real man should be like!

He was the kind of man that Andrea could see herself with!

He was a man worthy of her!

In fact, she couldn't wait to steal Nathaniel from Mango. It would be even better if she could see Mango crying bitterly, and that would make her extremely pleased.

But before that, she had to do one more thing.

After she dried her tears, she straightened herself out and left the hotel.

Then, she hailed a cab and returned to the hospital again.

The Hans Family had withdrawn all their bodyguards because of her departure, which was all part of her plan.

She smiled wickedly at how quiet everything was.

Since Terrance wanted nothing more than for her to disappear, he would never send someone to look for her. Hence, Andrea reckoned that he might have gone home to tell Madam Hans about her disappearance.

She took advantage of the opportunity and arrived at Queena's ward.

Originally, she had assumed that Mango was still inside and she was thinking of how to deal with Mango. Furthermore, she had even turned off all of the surveillance cameras in the vicinity.

However, there was no one inside the ward when she entered, not even a nurse. Queena was alone and she was asleep on the bed.

It seemed that she was still very weak.

Jealousy burned deep in Andrea's chest when she recalled how good Queena was to Mango, but she barely acknowledged

Andrea.

She was even more disappointed by the fact that Queena had tried to kill her for Mango's sake.

Since Queena was heartless, then Andrea couldn't be blamed for acting the same way.

If Andrea couldn't get her what she wanted, then neither would Mango.

Since Queena wanted to die so badly, then Andrea would grant her wish.

She was willing to do anything to witness Mango in pain.

The expression on her face was vicious.

Then, she stepped forward as she looked at Queena, who was still sleeping. She suddenly picked up a pillow and smothered Queena's face with it.

Soon enough, Queena began to struggle from the lack of air.

Andrea even bound Queena's hands and feet with rope in advance to prevent Queena from attracting attention.

Her heart pounded wildly and she wasn't sure if it was from hate or fear. The only thing she could feel was Queena's struggles and muffled cries, which eventually slowed to a stop.

After that, Queena finally let go and her body seemed to become limp.

Meanwhile, Andrea wanted to confirm if Queena was truly dead, but she trembled in fear because she wasn't brave enough to do it.

Surely the face of a dead person would be unpleasant to look at, right?

As Andrea gasped for air, she suddenly heard footsteps, followed by the voices of the nurses.

"I'm not sure if Miss Xiao is awake. Since she hasn't had her dinner, we should wake her up soon."

Then, Andrea's heart nearly leapt out of her chest.

She was terrified.

"What should I do?" She thought.

Then, she quickly threw open the door and ran outside, even going so far as to cover her own face to prevent anyone from recognising her.

"Who are you?"

The nurse saw someone coming out of Queena's room and shouted, which scared Andrea into fleeing the scene.

"Somebody come quick!"

Everyone came running as soon as the nurse shouted for help.

Andrea accidentally dropped her hairpin in a frenzy, but she didn't have the time to pick it up.

Then, she ran out of the hospital as fast as she could before she hailed a cab back to Dylan's hotel. After that, she soaked herself in the bathtub as she shook uncontrollably.

Queena was dead, right?

Yes!

She should be dead!

Although Andrea's body was trembling, she burst into maniacal laughter and tears started to flow down her face.

Then, her laughter turned into sobs, but she had no idea why she was crying at all.

Was it regret?

No!

She did not regret it at all!

Queena did not deserve to live as she had tried to kill Andrea. Even so, why was there such a soul- crushing ache in Andrea's heart?

Then, Andrea turned on the shower as she alternated between laughter and sobs like a madwoman.

Over at the hospital, Queena sucked in a deep breath after the nurse had finished yelling for help. Then, she immediately sat up, which startled the nurse immensely.

"Ah! Miss Xiao?"

"It's okay, I'm fine!"

Queena replied as she gasped for air.

After that, Mango and Nathaniel quickly rushed over and Mango was very concerned when she saw Queena.

"Mom, are you all right?"

"I'm fine. I tried to hold my breath for as long as I could just as you told me. Luckily the nurse came just in time and scared away that d*mned girl."

Thus, Queena had completely given up on Andrea.

Although she'd tried to attack Andrea first, it was only because Andrea was nefarious and she'd done many bad things. That was the only reason why Queena had to try and kill her, but she never expected Andrea to exact revenge on her like this.

It seemed that their relationship was no longer salvageable.

Meanwhile, Mango sighed before she retrieved a small camera from behind a wall painting. Then, she handed it to Nathaniel.
