The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 474

"Why aren't you answering the phone?"

Rainie felt that Mango was kind of strange today. Perhaps the latter was still confused after waking up.

However, Mango immediately hung up before saying, "It's fine, this is Zion's phone. He left it for me to play games while passing the time, and I never expected him to set an alarm."

"Is that so? Did Zion come up with a new game? I want to play!"

Rainie quickly stretched out her hand for the phone.

Yet, Mango said smilingly, "I haven't played enough yet, so you're going to have to wait. Oh yeah, I feel a little peckish, so could you go and get some mangoes for me?"

Rainie curled her lip in annoyance before replying, "You're so petty! It's not like I'm desperate for the game anyway. By the way, can you have mangoes though?"

"I don't know. Just ask Genevieve."

"Ugh, you glutton."

Despite saying that, Rainie still walked out of the ward towards Genevieve's office.

She had to ask Genevieve if Mango could actually consume mangoes. If it wasn't allowed, then Rainie would never buy her any.

After Rainie left, Mango dialed Walter's number again.

"Hey, you brat! How dare you hang up on me? Do you really think I won't get mad at you? If you aren't Mango's son, I wouldn't even have given you the time of day!"

"Walter, this is Mango."

The moment Mango spoke, Walter was a little dumbfounded.

"Mango?"

He hurriedly took out the phone to check the number.

It was truly Zion's!

Walter's mind was still in a state of confusion when he heard Mango say, "I know what you and Zion have done for Nathaniel."

As soon as she finished speaking, Walter came back to his senses.

"Zion's phone is with you?"

"Yeah, he told me about what happened, so thank you."

In fact, Mango was truly grateful to Walter.

No ordinary person would risk their lives to help her.

Thus Mango felt like she owed him an ever-increasing amount of favors, and she doubted the ability to repay him in this lifetime.

As the thought of her illness crossed her mind, Mango hoped that Walter would have better days ahead. She also hoped that a good woman would walk into his life to spend the rest of her days with him.

However, Mango wouldn't say any of this, nor would Walter listen if she told him.

The most Mango could offer him was thanks, and Walter didn't really want her gratitude.

"Ah, save it! If you want to thank me, treat me to a meal next time. It would be even better if Nathaniel personally cooked for me."

"That's a good idea!"

Mango agreed easily, but Walter was shocked.

"A good idea? Is Nathaniel willing to cook for me?"

"He'll listen to what I say."

Mango's words were truly heart-wrenching to Walter.

Although she had no intention of showing off her love, Walter heard it all the same.

He got gloomy all of a sudden.

"That's not necessary, because we don't know whether he'll be back anytime soon. If Nathaniel doesn't come back, how will he cook for me? Also, what do you want to do? Are you going to rescue him or not? Should I use my family's men? Don't worry, even if I'm jealous of him, I will try my best for you."

Walter replied proudly.

A warm sensation spread in Mango's chest.

She was very fortunate to have a close confidante like Walter in her life.

Mango then whispered, "Walter, is it okay if you don't interfere in Nathaniel's problems any longer?"

"Why?"

Walter was astonished.

He had originally thought that Mango would be extremely anxious to rescue Nathaniel. Despite his discomfort at knowing that Mango would spend less time with him after Nathaniel's return, Walter still wished nothing but happiness for her.

Now that Mango had stopped him from getting involved, Walter was pretty shocked.

"Mango, are you lucid right now?"

"I am sober now. I've very thankful that you did this for me and Nathan. Also, I know that very few people would be willing to do this. I will remember everything that you've done for me but please Walter, pretend like you don't know anything about this. You can't tell anyone, and you can't do anything, okay?"

Questions swirled inside Walter's mind at Mango's request.

"Why not?"

"I can't tell you why now, but I hope that you will agree to what I asked."

Mango knew that her request was a bit much, but she still made it anyway. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Walter was silent for a moment before he replied. "You know, I would do anything for you. Don't worry, I will delete the video and pretend like nothing ever happened, nor will I tell anyone about what happened. But I need to know, is this what you really want?"

"Yes, this is what I want!"

As soon as Mango finished speaking, she heard Walter said, "Deal. As long as you're sure, I have no objections."

"Thank you, Walter."

"No, I should be thanking you instead. Your little brat of a son applied the so- called medicine from Merle on my shoulder, and it turned out that he added chili oil into it to force me to search for Nathaniel. If not, I wouldn't have gone at all."

Walter continued to smile cheekily as he spoke, but Mango felt rather upset.

"I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble."

"Oh, stop talking like this. I'm a little sleepy, so I'm going to take another nap. Take care, and I'll visit you tonight. Let me know what you would like to eat, and I'll get it for you."

Thus, Walter directly changed the topic.

Mango wisely decided not to talk about it anymore since Walter changed the subject. She chuckled before saying, "It's better if you come by tomorrow. Sleep well tonight, okay? I'll be sad if I see you tired because of me."

"Okay."

After that, Walter hung up the call.

Agitation filled his body as he leaned against the bed.

He had decided to use some of his power and influence to help Mango, but then she decided to put the brakes on the whole operation.

Although he didn't know why Mango was doing this, Walter gave himself a wry smile.

He lit a cigarette and took a long drag before calling his men.

"All of you are dismissed. The mission is aborted."

The other party then said something that irritated Walter so much that he hung up.

Upon looking at Mango's selfie on his phone, he smiled bitterly to himself, "Oh Walter, you wear your heart on your sleeve for her, yet she rejects you. What else are you going to do?"

The loneliness in his veins was honestly quite unbearable.

After Mango hung up, she felt extremely sorry for Walter. No matter what, she wouldn't have found out what happened to Nathaniel without him.

Now, her request might have actually hurt his feelings.

Mango felt very unsettled indeed.

Alas, she wasn't able to give Walter what he wanted.

Mango took out Zion's phone to delete all the videos.

She knew that this matter would be kept under wraps for as long as she needed it to be.

When Rainie returned, she spotted Mango looking out at the scenery while leaning by the window. Then, Rainie asked as she glanced outside, "What are you looking at?" "Look at all these patients. Although they're sick, they seem to be in good spirits."

Mango's words caused Rainie to roll her eyes.

"Forget that and come eat your mangoes. But Dr. Bay said you can't have too much of them, and at most, you can only have one a day."

"Thank you, Rainie. What will I do without you?"

Mango's coy voice nearly caused Rainie to throw up in disgust.

"Hmph! Hurry up and get better, okay? I'm not used to you acting like this!"

Rainie went to cut up a mango for Mango. After she finished it, Mango chatted with Rainie for a while before going to bed.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Through this period, Mango did not bring up anything about Nathaniel at all.

Thus, Rainie assumed that Mango was totally disappointed in Nathaniel, so she didn't mention him either.

Walter did come by the next day, but only for a moment before he had to leave by citing company reasons.

However, Rainie felt that Walter and Mango may have fought at some point. Yet, she was confused when Mango didn't show any sign of it on her expression.

"What happened between you and Walter?"

"Nothing's wrong."

Mango replied indifferently, and there was no sign of any negative emotions on her face.

Although Rainie was a little confused, she decided not to ask anything more.

A few days later, Mango woke up very early while saying to Rainie, "Can you accompany me to get some new clothes?"

"What?"

Rainie felt like she'd misheard what Mango said.

The other woman smiled before replying, "I think there are some new styles in the stores, so let's go for some shopping."

"Are you insane? What clothes do you plan on buying? You're still in the hospital though."

Rainie felt that Mango was particularly excited today.

Still, Mango said happily, "I spoke to Genevieve, and I'm doing well enough to go for a walk. Plus, she said I could be discharged already."

"Discharged? What a joke! They made it sound like you were dying just a few days ago, and now you're being released? Can you stop with the jokes, Mango? You're going to stay inside this hospital and recover, you hear me?"

Rainie felt that Mango had gone completely insane.

Even if Mango's recovery had been progressing well over the past few days, she wasn't at the right point to be discharged. Accordingly, Mango had to stay a few more days, right?

However, Mango chuckled as she replied, "Without Dr. Bay's approval, how could I go back? Also, it isn't that big of a deal anyway. You know how bad it was for me when I was kidnapped and beaten, but at the end of the day, it's just a minor gynecological issue. So, it's nothing serious."

However, Rainie frowned upon hearing Mango's words.

"Tell me why you want to head out for a walk. Don't think I'm a child you can trick into believing what you're saying. If you don't explain, you won't be going anywhere at all."
