The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1554

"Bettany!"

Nathaniel frowned when he saw this situation.

Bettany had been waiting aside. When she saw Weston like this, her face turned pale, but she moved quickly.

On the other hand, Mango couldn't see what Bettany was doing because her hand was moving too fast. She could only see Bettany opening the canister and taking out a white parasite. She then shoved the parasite into Weston's mouth and forced him to swallow it.

It didn't take long for Weston's seizure to stop, but his body was drained. He was sweaty and damp as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

Although no one said anything, Weston knew that Bettany had saved his life. But without Nathaniel's orders, Bettany wouldn't have done so either. So without waiting for Nathaniel's question, Weston said, "I was raised together with Charlotte. We weren't siblings, but we needed to have an identity so it would be easier for us to move about. So we became siblings by name. In reality, we are both orphans and were adopted since young."

As Weston said this, he smiled bitterly.

"When we were first adopted, we were still children. We didn't have enough food or clothes at the orphanage, so when we were brought into the big house and had plenty of good food and new clothes, we were overjoyed. We weren't the only ones who were adopted, as there were many like us. We spent all our time together eating, sleeping, and even studying, and the days were like paradise to us to the point where it felt surreal. At first, we didn't even dare to sleep as we were worried that it would be all a dream when we woke up. However, after a year or so and we were getting used to this life, I realized that there were fewer of us left."

Weston tried his best to recall what had happened, and he was in a daze.

"The children were all of the different ages, and Charlotte was the youngest of us all. She was paired with me, and we were brought to Ocean City. We were pretty excited when we first left the house as we got to see the outside world, and we didn't know what the future held. Furthermore, we got to see the person who adopted us before we left."

"What does the person who adopted you look like?"

Nathaniel knew that this was the most critical information.

However, Weston shook his head and said, "I don't know. He was wearing a mask, so we couldn't see clearly. But his voice was hoarse, so he shouldn't be a young man. He then brought out a canister and told us to swallow the thing inside as it was nutritious. How could we know at that time that it would torment us in the future?"

As he thought of that, Weston could not help but smile bitterly.

"I still remember Charlotte crying when she saw the colorful parasite, but she was still forced to swallow the egg. Although it was a little disgusting, we became used to it at that time, and we didn't feel anything else. But after Charlotte met Walter and wanted to be with him, she began to disobey our master and even made decisions without our master's consent. As a result..."

Weston suddenly stopped. His face was pale, but his eyes were full of fear as if he had seen something terrible.

Mango knew that Charlotte was dead, but Mango had forgotten how she died and didn't pay much attention to it either. But now that she saw Weston's reaction, she suddenly had a guess.
