The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 446

Terrance was rendered speechless after he heard what Rainie said.

"Is this what Mango wants?"

"Do you think I'd let Mango know that you're outside?"

Rainie looked over at Terrance and she sighed before continued, "Mr. Hans, Mango is severely disappointed in the Hans family and the both of you have cut ties with one another. Is there really any more need to fix things? Your mother is old, and perhaps she regrets some of the things she's done, but so what? You've hurt Mango so much, yet do you expect her to just be fine and forgive Madam Hans for everything that happened just because she's about to pass away? Moreover, who caused Mango to end up like this? I'm sure you know very well who did this."

"Think about it. Mango used to be a healthy and robust person, but now she's become extremely sickly. Can you understand how painful it is for us to watch her be like this? You always call yourself her uncle, and you claim to want the best for her and that you care for her. But if you really do, then I beg you please don't ever appear to her ever again and let her recover. Hasn't your family done enough to her? Dr. Bay said that Mango's mental health is affecting her body, and it's stunting her recovery. I'm begging you, just go home. Mango will never be able to assuage your mother's regrets."

Since Rainie had made her stance very clear, it would be too much for Terrance to insist on staying.

Then, he looked in the direction of Mango's room. Despite his sadness, he muttered, "Don't worry, I won't bother her again. But please do tell me if something really happens to her."

"I will."

Although Rainie was giggly and happy in front of Mango, it was all an act for her sake. After she found out from Thomas about what happened between the Hans family and Mango, she had tried to obtain justice for Mango but Thomas stopped her.

After all, it was not like an outsider like her could interfere with the relationship between the Hans family and Mango.

But now, Rainie could no longer hold it in.

Despite the fact Terrance wanted to cut in, Rainie didn't allow him to speak.

Then, he turned around with a devastated look on his face and Terrance left the Shen family household.

After that, Rainie finally let out a huge sigh of relief.

Subsequently, she headed to the nearby supermarket to buy something before returning to the house.

By then, Mango was fast asleep.

She had fallen asleep quite quickly, one might add.

Hence, Rainie was a little confused as she glanced over at Genevieve before asking, "Why is she so sleepy?"

"It's normal. Anyone who loses this much blood is bound to be exhausted. Furthermore, this IV drip is a little slower than the others, so please watch over her for me as I need to swing by the hospital. I'll be back soon though."

Genevieve's words surprised Rainie.

"You're still going to come back?"

"Well, she needs three drips in a row and unfortunately you can't do them for her as you're not a nurse. Let me go back to the hospital to arrange a few things before I return."

Rainie let out a heaving sigh of relief after hearing Genevieve's explanation. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

"Sorry to trouble you."

"Not at all. It's what I should do."

Genevieve smiled lightly before she left the Shen family home with her medical kit.

After leaving the house, Genevieve immediately placed a call to her husband.

"How's Mr. Ye doing?"

On the other end of the call, Noah stretched his aching neck as he glanced at the surveillance videos in front of him. "Not too good, he's still under treatment. What's up?" "Mango isn't doing too well either."

Anxiety gripped Noah's heart as he processed what Genevieve said to him.

"What? What's wrong? Isn't she just a little weak?"

"I don't think that's all. Noah, I have to go back to the hospital to get her blood work done. If possible, I'll try to have her come in for a full checkup, especially on her uterus."

Genevieve's expression was glum, and her tone was not as light as before.

"What's wrong with her uterus?"

"I suspect that these are all the early warning signs of excessive uterine bleeding. Her period blood is dark, almost black with a pungent scent and there are more blood clots than normal. I didn't have my instruments in me, so I could only guess with my years of experience what's going on. So, I gave her a drip to stop the bleeding, but who knows whether it'll work. Additionally, she's emotionally unstable, frequently sleepy, and dispirited. If possible, I'd want Mr. Ye to be by her side. Mango is going through one of the darkest and most helpless times in her life right now."

Genevieve explained softly.

Meanwhile, Noah replied with some difficulties. "But Nathan can't be released as his condition won't allow it. The cat's going to be out of the bag once he goes home. Don't you think that Mango would suffer if she knew about Nathaniel's true condition?"

Naturally, the answer would be a resounding yes, and Genevieve was very sure of this.

"Even so, someone needs to have the power of attorney if Mango really has a uterine problem. I fear for the worst, you know?"

"I do, so let's try our best to protect Mango, okay? It doesn't matter what you do as long as she recovers."

"Noah, we're doctors, not gods. You should know better than anyone that we can't stop some diseases despite our best efforts. I can only promise to do my best to save her, but I can't guarantee that well have the results we want."

Of course Noah understood the implication behind Genevieve's words.

"I understand, I was just overly anxious. Don't worry, I'll find a suitable time to speak with Nathan about this."

"Yeah. Right now, what Mango needs are Mr. Ye's love and care, so please ask him to call her when able. At least it'll give her a form of emotional support."

"All right."

Then, Noah cut the call with a grim expression etched onto his face.

Why were all of these things happening at the same time?

If Nathaniel wasn't currently undergoing treatment as well, Noah would have told him everything.

However, would Nathaniel stay in rehab compliantly if Noah told him what was going on with Mango?

This time, the doctor was completely stuck in a dilemma.

Meanwhile, news of Gianna reached him from the Celestial Clubhouse.

Thus, Noah rushed over immediately after hearing the news only to find Gianna's cold corpse before him.

"What's going on?"

Noah's expression soured instantly.

He wanted to glean information from Gianna about the person that was trying to harm Nathaniel, but what could he ask a dead woman?

Meanwhile, the manager of the clubhouse broke out in a cold sweat upon seeing how angry Noah was.

"Mr. Soo, we don't know how this happened. We found her like this in the ditch outside."

Gianna's entire body was twitching and convulsing as white foam leaked from the corner of her mouth. Hence, it was obvious that she'd been a victim of a drug overdose.

Then, Noah hurriedly squatted and he brought Gianna's arm up to look at it. He found multiple needle pockmarks on her arm, and it was clear that she was a frequent user.

Then, Noah quickly collected some of Gianna's blood for a quick test before he left the Celestial Clubhouse with a heavy heart.

After he returned to the hospital to run a quick test, Noah discovered that Gianna had been given the drugs post-mortem.

That meant that she had been murdered in cold blood.

So, who in the world was trying to plot against Nathaniel?

To make matters worse, that person seemed to have eyes and ears everywhere.

Next, Noah frowned slightly.

He lit a cigarette to smoke it as he pondered his next move. Just then, Nathaniel called him.

The frown on Noah's face deepened even more.

He answered the video call and Noah saw that Nathaniel had finally gotten himself settled in. He even changed into the clothes specially set out for him. Then, Noah said, "You look well."

"Yeah, still holding up. How are you? Is my wife doing okay?"

Obviously, Nathaniel was worried about Mango but he was afraid of calling her. He feared that he would miss her even more after hearing Mango's voice.

To be frank, the couple was seldom separated whenever they were together, and no one knew how long they'd be apart for this time.

On the other hand, Noah wanted to tell Nathaniel about Mango as Genevieve's words echoed in his mind. Alas, he still couldn't bring himself to say anything in the end.

"Everything's fine, Genevieve has just been over to check on Mango. Apparently, she's gotten her period so she's a bit weak right now. You know how much damage the miscarriage did to her body, so it's a little more uncomfortable than usual. Don't worry, your wife will be fine with Genevieve there. The most important thing right now is that you need to get better as soon as possible as there's no time to waste."

Noah explained the situation as gently as possible to Nathaniel.

When Nathaniel heard that Mango had gotten her period, he couldn't help but worried as he recalled how sleepy she was recently.

"Relax, I'll try to go as fast as possible. Right, have you found Gianna?"

"Ah, I was just about to tell you about that. I found Gianna, but she's dead. I went to the scene and I discovered that she'd apparently suffered an overdose, but after a thorough check, it seems like someone injected her drugs after she was killed. Hence, someone is trying to make her look like an overdosed victim. Unfortunately, this means that we are out of leads."

Helplessness seeped into Noah's voice as he spoke.

On the other end of the call, Nathaniel pondered for a moment before he said, "I'm so sorry to trouble you, but I need to ask you to watch over my family, especially Mango."

"Don't worry, the Hans family already has Andrea in their custody. Susie is with your family, and John is currently under Nick's custody. Except for the main culprit behind all this, I'd say that we

have most of the situation under control. Now that your wife has her period, I'll ask Genevieve to advise her to stay home and rest. Plus, I'll even inform Terrance if you need me to. Also, Madam Hans has fallen for the same thing that happened to you and I heard that she was going to rehab secretly. However, I'm not sure if she can take it at her advanced age."

To be honest, Nathaniel didn't really have much of a reaction when Noah told him that. Madam Hans got what she deserved, and Nathaniel did not pity her at all.

However, Nathaniel seemed to have thought of something else.

"Do tell Terrance to stop his troublesome mother from irritating my wife. She needs to rest."

"Got it."

After both men cut the call, Nathaniel stared at his phone for a long time. There was a record of Mango calling him earlier.

He didn't know how Mango was doing. Was she keeping warm? Who was there to take care of her?

Right now, a million worries bounced around in his mind and he wanted nothing more than to teleport into Mango's arms. Alas, he could not.

Thus, Nathaniel had never felt so worried and upset before as he stared fixedly at a photo of Mango he'd taken secretly before.
