The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 79

"I have my own thoughts on this matter. Your are weak in power, so don't go head to head with Nathaniel. I have dragged you into this mess. Rainie, after you return to Ocean City, you'd better find another job Rainie. I'm afraid he'll do something to you."

This was what Mango was worried about.

Rainie on the other hand, smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of him at all. At worst, he can take my life. He doesn't really own Ocean City."

Seeing Rainie couldn't care less, Mango was still worried. However, Rainie stopped her from saying anything more.

"Fine, take a look at our relationship, if you hadn't supported me when I was in college, I probably would be doing some hard work in god knows where. Without you, I, Rainie, would not have been who I am today. Say no more, I know what I am doing. Take care of yourself, and I will be at ease."

Mango was immediately moved.

Back then before she got married, she was still counted as someone from a noble family when she was in Shen family. At that time, she found Rainie's life was too difficult, so she helped her out, and she did not expect her to become the best girlfriend in her life.

If it wasn't because she fell in love with Nathaniel, and that scandal eight years ago which cost Shen family their dignity, she wouldn't have been kicked out by Shen family, neither would she have been so isolated and helpless after marrying into Ye family.

Now it was too late to say anything.

The Shen family no longer had a place for her.

The fire five years ago had further severed all connections between her and Shen Family. Now as she thought about it, Mango's heart was aching.

She had once abandoned everything for love, but now she ended up with nothing and it had also cost the health of her children. She really regretted it.

Rainie held her hand tightly and whispered, "Don't be sad. I know that you are thinking about Shen Family. In fact, your parents are not so cold-hearted. Five years ago, the whole Ocean City was shocked by that big fire, but all they said in the news was that you and another man had failed while trying to elope and ended up dying in the fire. Although your father has announced to disown you on the newspaper, they still kept going to the cemetery in the past few years. I heard that your mother has bought a land in the cemetery and built a tomb for you, and every year, they went their to pay their regards to you. They got a lot older in recent years. If there is a chance, you should go and visit them."

Mango could no longer hold back her tears.

During the five years abroad, her most helpless five years, what she thought of most was her mother.

She used to be the young lady of Shen family and she grew up spoiled by her parents. Flowever, ever since she had sex with Nathaniel at the banquet and then it was exposed by the media, she never had another chance to get close to her parents.

As a noble family and a literary family, Shen family would never tolerate such things to happen. She understood her parents, but she could not turn back the time.

If she could predict that her determined love would end like this, she would have never married into Ye family with such resolution.

But now, all her regrets could not make up for the harm she had done to her parents.

Mango couldn't stop crying as she held on to Rainie.

"Rainie, I miss them, I really miss them. But look at me now. Even if I stand in front of them, they wouldn't be able to recognize me. I am an unfilial daughter. My parents only have one daughter, but I made them suffer the pain of losing their child. A person like me does not deserve to be a child at all."

"Don't say that, Mango. You still have a chance. Aren't you back now? Even if you can't take care of them as Mango, you can still take care of them as Katherine, as a friend of Mango, right?"

Rainie comforted Mango.

Mango could only nod, but she couldn't say anything else.

When Zion brought Mango to look for Rainie, he was immediately called away by Zack. They said he still had an unfinished training program, so he did not see Mango crying so hard now. Otherwise, who knew what this kid would do.

Mango held on to Rainie and cried for a while before calming down. Rainie patted the back of her hand and said, "Everything will be fine."

"Urn, I'm going to take a few pictures of Zion and then send them to Rita. She must be very anxious these days. In Ye family, I didn't dare to start video chat with Rita, because I was afraid that Nathaniel would find out about Rita. Rita' health situation can't afford to bear any action taken by Nathaniel."

When she heard how difficult Mango was, Rainie hated Nathaniel even more.

The two of them went to the camp.

Zion was in the middle of the training.

Mango had originally thought that Wisdom would rest after being beaten up by Zion, but she didn't expect him to be here as well. Moreover, he was training very seriously behind Zion.

As for Wisdom, Mango really didn't know what to say.

Rainie followed Mango's sight and whispered: "Wisdom is different from Nathaniel. I have been observing this child since I joined the kindergarten. He is very kind, but he is a bit unsociable, and he can't just be friends with anyone. And I've also noticed, this kid is very smart, but he is not a genius like Nathaniel. But he is very hard-working, and all the teachers knew it. He is not arrogant and spoiled just because he is the heir of Ye family, and after Zion came, the two of them got along very well. Even if Zion rejected him, he wouldn't care either, and he would only approach him. I don't know if that's because they are blood-related."

Mango couldn't explain it either, but she really couldn't bring herself to hate this child.

"Let Zion and Wisdom go natural on this. After all, Zion is too mature. It's good for him to have a playmate like him, although I don't know how long they could be together for."

Mango couldn't do anything about it.

The two of them felt more or less heavy.

Mango took a few shots of Zion's brave appearance, and then she sent them to Rita.

At this moment, it was hard to say if Rita had woken up.

It didn't take long for Rita to reply.

"Mommy, my brother is so handsome! When can I be as handsome as him?"

Rita was extremely envious, but Mango's heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife.

"Soon, my good girl will definitely become like her brother one day!"

Mango comforted Rita with a somewhat sad expression in her eyes.

Rita on the other side of the phone, was pouting. She had a very disappointed expression on her face, but she replied to Mango with a smile.

"Urn, I also believe that I will be like that one day. At that time, I want mommy to take pictures of me, too. I want my to run freely in the sunshine just like my brother. Mommy, you haven't contacted me these days. I miss you so much. When will you and my brother come back?"

Rita was actually lonely. She was like a canary being kept in the cage.

She knew that her godfather and mommy did everything for the sake of her health, but she really envied those kids of the same age who could run under the sun.

Unfortunately, she couldn't do it.

Every time after she ran a few steps, she would start panting, and then she had to put on the ventilator, which would make her mommy, her brother, and her godfather worried.

Rita didn't want her mother and brother to worry, but her body couldn't help it.

She looked out of the window in dismay and she didn't tell Mango that she almost died during the surgery yesterday.

She couldn't even remember how many surgery wounds she had on her body.

It seemed that since she could remember, the hospital was like her home. She once ran out of the hospital capriciously, as a result, her mother cried for a day and a night. Her brother blamed himself

for three days without saying a word. Everyone stood in front of her bed and did not dare to blink. They were afraid that she would suddenly die.

Rita knew that the only reason why she had to maintain this sickly and weak body of hers was because of her mother and her brother, so that they wouldn't be sad.

But she was in so much pain!

It was so painful that she could not fall asleep in the middle of the night. She felt so much pain that she wanted to look for her mommy's embrace and wanted to die like this. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

But she couldn't!

Her godfather told her that her mommy had spent a great deal of effort and almost lost her own life in order to bring her to this world. Her life was given by her and she couldn't be capricious.

So she had to suffer.

She had to suffer to the last moment of her life, when she could no longer accompany her mommy and her brother.

Rita' eyes were filled with tears.

Then her body start to hurt again, but she couldn't cry. She had to endure it, or otherwise, her mother would worry about her.

Her smiley face was terribly pale, her small hands held tightly to the sheet, and her palms got drenched with cold sweat, but she was still laughing, so radiantly, and so happily.

Mango looked at her daughter's bright smile in the video and felt no matter what she had experienced, everything was worth it.

"Rita, I miss you too. I got stuck in something during the past few days, so I couldn't talk to you through video. I'm sorry."

"It's ok, mommy has her own things to do. Godfather said that mommy went to Ocean City for Rita's illness. I know mommy has gone through a lot and I didn't want to bother her. But can you send me a video when you are free so that I will know you and my brother are doing fine?" "Okay, mommy will try my best to find time for the video chat with Rita."

Mango couldn't hold back her tears again.

But she couldn't cry.

Rita was a very sensible child.

Sometimes, she really wanted to thank the heavens for blessing her with such sensible children. However, the more sensible they were, the more Mango's heart ached.

At this age, they were supposed to be naughty and and should just enjoy their childhood. However, one of them has become a little adult and the other one a sickly patient who had to suffer all the time. How could she, as a mother, feel at ease?

How could she allow Nathaniel, who started all of this, to live in peace?

After video chatting with Rita for a bit more, Mango hung up the phone and saw that Zion had already finished their lessons.

Zion throw himself into Mango's arms like a little bird.

"Mommy! Do you think I'm handsome?"

After coming here, Zion seemed to have found back all his lost child innocence. He felt less matured, but more innocent just like a child.

Mango pinched his little face and said, "You are so handsome. You are incredibly cool. My son is simply awesome!"

"Of course!"

Zion was bragging proudly. Wisdom came to them, feeling all depressed. He wanted to say something, but he looked very awkward. Mango's heart ached for him a little.

"Wisdom is also very good. I can see that you are working very hard. Keep going, and one day you will surpass Zion."

"Really? Can I really do that?"

Wisdom's eyes lit up all of a sudden. His sparkling expression was like the Milky Way in the sky, suddenly glowing with colors, which made people feel overjoyed.

"Of course!"

Mango patted his head, and Wisdom's eyes actually turned red.

"Thank you, auntie. It's so kind of you. It would be great if you were my mommy."

After Wisdom finished speaking, he turned around and ran away. However, Mango saw the tears in his eyes.

This child was in desperate need for love!
