The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 463

Genevieve hadn't expected Mango to suddenly ask this question, so she was stunned for a second before she smiled while replying, "Nothing big, just some lost-miscarriage weakness. Didn't I tell you this?" "Genevieve, there's no need for you to hide it from me. You know I can handle it. If anything happens, you need to tell me, okay? I don't want to be the last person to know about my health."

The way Mango addressed her name directly caused Genevieve to be at a loss for words.

She seemed to see her past self in Mango.

Mango was strong, independent and so very averse to implicating others.

Recalling Nathaniel's current predicament and Mango's lonely fight against her illness, tears sprang to Genevieve's eyes.

"I don't want to hide it anymore, Mango. You're not doing too well."

Genevieve's words caused Mango's heart to skip a beat.

"What do you mean?"

"Your miscarriage has caused a lot of damage. Despite adequate care from yourself and Mr. Ye, something went wrong along the way and your uterus has shrunk slightly. Other than that, there are signs of major uterine bleeding. Your heavy period is one of the signs."

Genevieve's words struck Mango like a bolt from the blue.

"What does that mean?"

"This disease is rather rare in medicine, and cases of the uterus shrinking are only something I've heard of until I met you. Plus, I did your blood work and found that there's a foreign substance

mixed in with it which causes major damage to your body."

When Mango heard that, she immediately recalled the pill that Nanny Zhang forced her to swallow.

Was all of this because of that pill?

"Earlier when I miscarried, Nanny Zhang forced an unknown pill down my throat. I don't know what it was, but it might have something to do with this."

Mango recalled the memory in her head.

Then, Genevieve's face looked even grimmer.

"If that's the case, then it's bad."

"Why?"

"Nanny Zhang has gone insane. No one knows why, but news from Santell Capital says that she might have gone insane after an altercation inside the woman's prison. Now, she's confirmed to be insane and she was transferred to a secret offsite location for treatment. If she was the one who did this, then she can't help you in her current state. Nanny Zhang is a genius in the medical field, and it would be miraculous if she'd used her skills for good. Unfortunately, that isn't the case."

Genevieve admired Nanny Zhang's medical skills very much, but not her personality.

When she heard this, Mango realized that she didn't have much hope left.

Thus, she couldn't help but feel saddened.

"What's the worst case scenario for me?"

She needed to know what would become of her.

Mango still had a lot of things left undone and people to spend time with. Now that she'd come down with this affliction, she couldn't help but wonder what she'd done to offend God that put her in this situation.

Then, Genevieve replied in a helpless tone, "Honestly, I don't know. All I can do now is stop your uterus from bleeding, but I can't stop it from shrinking. If worse comes to worst, you may need to undergo a hysterectomy in about a year or a few months. However, this is something you need to think of carefully as I know how important the uterus is for a woman."

Then, Mango touched her belly sadly.

"A hysterectomy? Does that mean that I will no longer be able to have children? I might even lose the right to call myself a woman."

On the other hand, Genevieve didn't know how to answer Mango's question. After a brief moment of silence, she replied, "I will work hard to fix you. Recently, I've been studying your blood composition, and Noah has volunteered to help too. Don't worry, we will try our best."

At first, Mango thought that the doctor couple was good to her only because of Nathaniel's relationship with them. However, at this moment, she knew that Genevieve was genuinely doing this for her good.

Then, Mango suddenly laughed.

"Don't worry, I trust all of you. I won't blame you even if you couldn't help me. After all, everyone has its destiny. I will try to have the best outlook of life, but I need you to keep this a secret from everyone, especially this girl right here."

Mango looked over at Rainie, who was sleeping and had drool all over her pillow as if she was having a wonderful dream. Then, the corners of Mango's mouth quirked up in a smile.

Genevieve muttered as she watched this interaction, "How do you have such a good friendship? Usually, friendships between women don't go this deep."

"Perhaps she loves me more than a friend and more like family. Rainie's been an orphan since her childhood, and she was abandoned by her parents. Thus, she's learned how to be tough. I still remember the first time I saw her fight off a guy. She was injured from head to toe, but she still told me that she won. From that moment on, we've been friends until today. Rainie's always been by my side, supporting me despite whatever decision I've made. Although she would get mad if I made stupid decisions, she just let me do whatever I want. I'm pretty sure she'll be devastated if she knows what is happening to me. Honestly, I just want her to be happy."

The relationship Mango and Rainie shared caused Genevieve to be rather envious.

Next, she whispered, "Well, don't worry because I won't tell her, but you'll have to cooperate with my treatment."

"Of course, I'm afraid of dying after all."

After that, Mango started chuckling.

On the other hand, Genevieve saw the resilience reflected in Mango's eyes.

"You're rather are inspiring, you know? Despite being weak, you're not like other women."

"Don't flatter me, I'll get a big head."

Then Mango and Genevieve shared a laugh. However, the doctor knew that Mango was still uneasy and scared on the inside.

No one would be this calm after finding out about their illness. Alas, it was up to the person to see whether they could handle it.

All of a sudden, her heart ached for Mango.

"Is there any news about Mr. Ye?"

Mango was surprised by Genevieve's question.

She'd always thought that Genevieve and Noah knew where Nathaniel was. Now that Genevieve had asked, Mango's gaze became evasive as she replied, "No, but he should be back soon right? He's already left for a long time, and Nathaniel loves our family. Previously, he's never been on a business trip longer than a week, so I'm sure he'll be back soon." "Aren't you angry with him for not being by your side when you needed him most?"

Mango was surprised when she heard Genevieve's words, but she replied, "I heard that you were a military wife as well. Noah was an exemplary soldier back in the army."

She had learned all of this from Rainie.

Genevieve was caught off guard by the sudden change in topic, but she smiled before saying, "Yes, he left the military for me. If he'd stayed, perhaps he would have had a better career ahead of him."

"Everyone makes their own choices. Maybe to you, it's unfortunate that Noah has let go of his military career, but how would you know his feeling? How do you know that this is not the life that he wanted?"

Mango's words surprised Genevieve and then she seemed even more impressed with Mango.

"You think very differently from other women." Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"Special, aren't I?"

Mango smiled pridefully.

Then Genoveva smiled as well.

"Yes, you're very special. Why are you asking about this?"

"Nothing, I just want to ask you about the time Noah was on one of his missions. I heard that he lost all contact with home, so did you blame him for not being with you?" As soon as Mango's words left her mouth, Genevieve understood what she meant.

Mango was truly different from the rest.

"You and I are not the same, I chose a military man so I naturally have to face the consequences of that. But your husband is a businessman."

"But he used to be a soldier!"

Mango's words stunned Genevieve for a moment before she continued, "I've always believed that military men would always have a different outlook on life after they've left the military. They won't do evil things, and they'll stay loyal to their families and country. Even though Nathaniel is a businessman, that part of him will never change. Now that Nathan's left without contacting anyone, people may think that he went off with another woman. Some people may think he's heartless to leave me when I needed him most, but who knows the real reason he left? I always believe that he always has his family and his home in his heart. That's enough for me! A man is free to do as he likes, and he doesn't have to tell a woman everything. As long as he still loves me, what do I have to complain about? I chose the man, didn't I?"

Genevieve was astonished.

Everyone had thought that Mango would be upset, and she might even actually have been agitated with him at one point.

However, no one expected how solid Mango's feelings for Nathaniel were.

Even if Nathaniel left without an explanation, she still believed in him and Mango trusted the choice she made. She believed in the love she shared.

All of a sudden, Genevieve believed that even she could not compare up to Mango.

Over the last few years in the hospital, she'd seen way too many people from all walks of life, and this caused her to nearly forget the love she shared.

Mango was right!

As long as there were love and trust, was there anything they couldn't overcome?

Then, Genevieve gazed at Mango and she said, "Don't worry, I'm sure he'll be back! Other than that, he'll be back safely in one piece for you. Nathaniel Ye deserves for you to wait for him!"
