The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 216

"Ouch!"

Thus, Andrea was caught off guard and she was directly bit by Rita. Then, she subconsciously raised her hand to hit Rita.

"Rita!"

Next, Mango was alarmed and she hugged Rita while Andrea's hand slapped on them.

Then, Andrea's palm hit Mango's face in a slap, which was crisp and loud.

At this moment, both of them were stunned.

However, Andrea had not expected herself to react that, let alone coincidentally slap someone in the face. Meanwhile, Mango was rather dazed from the hard slap.

When the bodyguards of the Ye Family and the security guards of the sanatorium saw this, both of them nervously confronted each other.

"I... I didn't mean it."

Andrea's palm was a little numb. Obviously, the slap was forceful. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Nevertheless, Mango looked at her and she said in a low voice, "Can I look at your phone again?"

However, these words made Andrea become solemn, and all the anger turned into a feeling of helplessness.

"Oh man... sister, why do you think I'm a kidnapper? You can't just doubt me because of my disfigured face, can you?"

"I just want to see your phone."

However, Mango was very persistent.

Even now, Rita could also see that it was her mother who had been pestering Andrea.

Hence, she gently tugged at Mango's sleeve and she asked in a low voice, "Mommy, why do you have to look at her cell phone?"

However, Mango could not answer Rita's question. On the other hand, Andrea was even more curious. However, since she had slapped Mango earlier, she somberly handed her phone over.

"Well, it's a deal. You can look at everything inside it, but you can't touch anything."

After that, she gave her phone to Mango heartily.

Then, Mango took her phone and she began to search quickly, especially the gallery. In fact, she really wanted to find some clues from this phone, and she even hoped to find some photos of her parents.

Unfortunately, there was nothing at all.

However, Mango flipped through the pages and she suddenly saw a photo unexpectedly.

There was a woman sitting under the sun in the photo and her face carried a hint of melancholy that caused pity from others. However, this was not what surprised Mango. She was only shocked that this woman actually looked very similar to the woman in the picture that had been taken from Dennis's art gallery. "Huh? Who is this woman?"

Mango asked without hesitation.

Then, Andrea glanced at it and she said, "That's my mother!"

"What? Your mother?"

"Yep!"

Next, Andrea nodded and she said with great pride, "My mother is beautiful, isn't she? She was a great beauty when she was younger, but now she's just a little older. Hmm? Do you know her?"

Mango did not know how to answer this question.

Do I know her?

In fact, she knew nothing about this woman.

However, it would be odd if she said that she did not know her because the woman looked so much like Mango when she was young. Hence, she felt that the two of them should have some sort of connection, but right now she had no idea what that connection was.

Thus, Mango shook her head and she returned the phone to Andrea.

Regardless of whether Andrea hid it well or that Mango had misunderstood her, the fact was that there was nothing wrong with Andrea's phone. It had nothing suspicious at all.

"I'm sorry, I was extremely rude just now."

Next, Mango hurriedly apologized.

On the contrary, Andrea was rather sheepish.

"I wasn't very nice to you either. However, what's going on with you? Have your parents been kidnapped from here? I can have my people investigate it."

Andrea's words made Mango want to refuse instinctively. However, a realistic question came to mind.

If she was under surveillance and her phone was tapped, then she would not be able to do anything. However, Andrea could be able to help.

"Hey, where are you going?"

Mango asked subconsciously.

Then, Andrea shrugged her shoulders and she said, "Where can I go since I look like this? However, I heard that the United States has a very famous plastic surgeon who specializes in treating burns, so I decided to try it. What's annoying is that my father disagreed vehemently, so I snuck out. Who would have thought that I would be thought of as a kidnapper and you stopped me?"

As Andrea spoke of this, she became quite somber.

Then, Mango thought of her past.

Five years ago, she was burned much more badly than Andrea.

Although Andrea's face looked terrible, it was still salvageable on further inspection.

"How did your face get disfigured?"

Since Mango knew the suffering of being burned by the fire, she felt an extra hint of sympathy and unexplainable feelings for Andrea.

Then, Andrea sighed and she said, "I was carrying out an experiment and it went wrong. So, it did this to me."

"What do you do then?"

"My father is the director of the hospital, and my mother is a doctor. So I also study medicine. However, I quite enjoy doing chemistry experiments, just that I didn't expect it to disfigure me."

Hence, Andrea sighed as she spoke of this.

Next, Mango reached out and she took out a pen and paper. Then, she wrote an address and a phone number for Andrea before she whispered, "This is the plastic surgeon's address and phone number. Tell her that Katherine introduced you, and she will help you."

"Wow! You actually know Master Yan!"

Upon hearing that, Andrea was very excited. Next, she put the note away carefully like it was a precious item.

"Thank you, beautiful sister."

At this point, Andrea's happiness was obvious. What was more, she even stroked Rita's head and she said with a smile, "And you, thank you, little princess. Call me if you need anything. Don't worry, I'll keep an ear out for your matter."

Next, Andrea gave her phone number to Mango and she then left happily.

In fact, Mango was a little disappointed, but she did not show it.

After the bodyguards of the Ye Family and the security guards of the hospital saw that they were all right, they left. Then, Rita looked somewhat curiously at the direction that Andrea had left and she asked in a low voice, "Mommy, what's wrong with that auntie's face? Will she recover?"

"Yes, Master Yan is very good at what she does."

Then, Mango stroked Rita's head and she temporarily put away her suspicions.

Next, she walked back with Rita in her arms. As she walked, she asked, "Why are you out here? Where's grandma and brother? Are you out here alone?"

Then, Rita pouted and she said, "Brother is hiding from me and grandma said she wanted to take a nap. So, I ran out because I was bored."

Nevertheless, Mango noticed the redness on Rita's face. Naturally, she knew that Wisdom must have been frightened by Rita's request for a kiss, so he chose to avoid her. As for Madam Ye, she was weak and her body was in that condition, thus she could not do anything about it.

Now, Rita was obviously much better than she was when she first came in, but Mangp was still worried.

What if the people in the shadows targeted Rita next?

"Rita, how about you sleep with mommy tonight?" "Okay!"

Indeed, Rita was very happy.

Then, she wrapped her arms around Mango's neck and she returned to the room with Mango.

As soon as Mango returned, she felt all kinds of discomfort as if countless pairs of eyes were constantly watching her every move from all directions.

Nevertheless, Rita was sensitive enough to detect Mango's poor mood. Then, she gently tugged at Mango's sleeve and she asked, "Mommy, what's wrong? Is it that you don't want to sleep with me?"

"Of course not! Mommy just suddenly dislike this room, how about we change rooms to your ward?"

"Alright!"

Rita naturally had no objections. As long as she could be with Mango, she would be all right with anywhere.

Then, Mango gathered all her things with her, and she left with Rita in her arms.

The next time the phone rang again, it was in Rita's room.

Meanwhile, Mango had just put Rita down to give her a bath when the text message was received.

"Do you think that I won't be able to see you in another room?"

Thus, Mango's heart became more uneasy, but she remained calm and she threw her phone onto the bed. As she thought of it, she felt that it wasn't enough, and hence, she turned off the phone as well as removed the battery. After she had the bodyguards take it back to her room, only then did Mango breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, Rita looked at Mango with curiosity and she asked, "Mommy, what are you doing?"

"Nothing. I think the phone is too noisy and it will disturb your sleep. Tonight, mommy wants to accompany Rita peacefully."

"Yay! That's great!"

Clearly, Rita was extremely happy.

Then, both mother and daughter went to the bathroom and Mango gave Rita a bath. As Mango saw all the needle marks on Rita's body, she felt extremely uneasy.

Originally, Rita did not have to suffer like this, but Abyss treated Rita like this because of Mango.

How should she tell Rita about these things?

Thus, Mango was a little depressed.

"Mommy, do you miss daddy? Where is daddy? Isn't he come back tonight?"

Hence, Rita's series of questions brought Mango back to reality quickly.

"Daddy has something to do recently, so we're alone for the next few days. What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

"I'm happy, but I miss daddy too."

Rita's words somehow made Mango a little jealous.

"You don't have a heart. Mommy has been with you for five years. How long have you and your daddy known each other? How come you are so fond daddy and you don't like mommy anymore?"

However, Rita quickly hugged Mango's neck and she said coyly, "I like mommy. I like mommy and I like daddy too. But now I suddenly really miss daddy."

Mango could find nothing wrong with what she said. Nevertheless, Mango felt that Rita was getting very good at sweet-talking.

"Hehe...what a cute kid. Let's video chat with daddy later if he's not busy, okay?"

Then, Mango scratched her daughter's little nose and she asked dotingly.

"Okay!"

Rita, of course, liked that very much.

After they played with water for a while, Mango wrapped Rita with a bath towel and she took her out of the bathroom. However, when she came out, she found Wisdom was sneaking in.

"Wisdom?"

Then, Mango called out Wisdom, which made him very embarrassed.

"Mommy!"

"Brother Wisdom! Hug me!"

Next, Rita stretched out her arms and she was about to rush over to Wisdom. However, Wisdom was so scared that he quickly stepped back.

"You...you, put on your clothes first."

However, it was too late. Wisdom already had serious mental trauma from what he saw.

Ever since Rita saw Nathaniel was playing kissy games with Mango, she was always trying to kiss Wisdom. Thus, Wisdom was so scared that his heartbeat wildly. Now that he saw Rita's naked body was trying to pounce on him, he was so scared that he almost ran away.
