The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel 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.

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."
