The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 282

Mango never expected that she would see Edolie here.

When Edolie turned to look at her, Mango thought that she might have been hallucinating.

"Edolie?"

Mango walked over in confusion.

Edolie looked very different than how she did before.

She was dressed in denim jeans and a polka-dotted shirt. Hence, she looked quite rebellious, and she had an air of youthful arrogance about her.

Edolie smiled softly as she saw Mango's surprised expression.

"We meet again."

"Why are you here?"

Mango tried hard to suppress her emotions and doubts as she spoke in a flat tone.

"Do you need money? If not, do you need my help? I' m afraid I don't have time to help you now because I have some issues to deal with here, so..."

Before Mango could finish speaking, Edolie waved her and said, "Don't treat me like I'm a beggar. I’m not here to extort you."

Mango was rendered speechless at Edolie's harsh words.

Her relationship with Edolie had become strained due to Nathaniel, and it was awkward for them to meet.

Furthermore, Mango had thought that she would never see Edolie again for the rest of her life. Thus, she never expected to meet Edolie, let alone in such a short time frame.

Previously, Nathaniel had wanted Edolie to leave Ocean City but clearly, Edolie did not intend to do so. Now, neither Nathaniel nor Mango had the time and energy to keep tabs on where Edolie wanted to go.

"Why have you come to see me?"

Mango sucked in a deep breath before she spoke.

It was better to not beat around the bush and get to the point, as there was no camaraderie between Edolie and her at all.

Edolie glanced at Mango before she took out a medical report and handed it to Mango.

"First, you should have a look at this."

Mango was rather surprised.

This scene seemed like something out of a television drama, in which the husband's mistress would use a pregnancy test to get rid of the man's wife.

Honestly, Mango felt that her thoughts were quite silly.

It was hilarious that she could have such a foolish idea during this time.

After that, Mango took the paper from Edolie.

It was definitely a medical report, but it wasn't for a pregnancy. Instead, Mango's eyebrows raised as she read the report.

"This is..."

"My medical report, as I've gone to the hospital to find a donor that would match Miss Rita. Fortunately, I am a perfect match for her and the doctor said that I can undergo the surgery to donate my kidney if I'm willing to do so."

Edolie's tone was nonchalant as if the surgery wouldn't implicate her.

Meanwhile, Mango had an inexplicable feeling in her heart and she felt like a ray of hope had appeared in front of her.

Although, it could cost her a lot if she grasped onto the hope that Edolie had given her.

"So, do you know about everything that has happened?"

Mango couldn’t help but ask as she looked at Edolie' s confident expression.

Edolie nodded, as there was nothing to hide.

"Yeah, I know about everything. In fact, I witnessed it when Nathaniel took the knife meant for you, and I snuck onto your plane when you guys boarded it."

When she said this, Mango's gaze darkened.

Edolie actually managed to sneak onto their private plane even under Merle's watch. Thus, Edolie’s unknown background alarmed Mango somewhat.

"Who the hell are you?"

As she saw that Mango was so wary of her, Edolie smiled albeit sadly.

"Who am I? Do you think I would've been sold if I had a family like yours and Nathaniel's? I'm just an orphan who was abandoned by my parents, and I was taken in by an orphanage before I was kidnapped by a smuggling ring. After that, I was raised to become a thief and every move I made outside was watched closely. What's more, I had to steal a certain amount every day to ensure that I had food and shelter, so I had to hone my skills to survive."

Mango just listened to Eddie’s words and she did not comment on it.

Mango had always assumed that Eddie was a weak little girl, so when Eddie followed Mango after she rescued her, Mango didn’t think much of it.

But ever since Mango had witnessed Eddie' s survival skills firsthand, Mango felt like she had been far too kind to her.

In fact, just because Eddie looked weak.it didn't mean that she wouldn't be able to survive. In this society, plenty of people were struggling very hard to stay alive.

Then, Mango took a deep breath and a complex mix of emotions welled up in her chest as she looked at the report in her hand.

Undeniably, she needed someone like Edolie to donate a kidney to Rita because it would mean that Rita would get another chance at life. Furthermore, Nathaniel needed time to recover from his stab wound, so it would be best if he could rest in peace.

Nevertheless, Mango did not think that Edolie was someone who would donate her own kidney even though Mango saved her life.
