The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 294

No one would believe that she and Edolie were fighting, and even Madam Ye felt that she was being petty. Furthermore, Madam Ye still thought that Edolie was innocent, and the old woman wouldn't let Mango openly go against Edolie either.

Alas, who knew that Mango was the one who had been bullied?

When Mango saw Nathaniel had called her, she couldn't help but feel upset even though they hadn't been separated for long.

She walked out of the doctors's office with her phone in her hand and she picked up Nathaniel's call in the corridor.

''Hello?"

She sounded like she'd just been crying.

Nathaniel could hear it from her voice immediately.

"What's wrong? Did something happen to you? I heard from my mom that your makeup irritated your skin and now your face is injured, so how are you doing? Is it serious? How about you give me a video call so I can see how bad it is?"

Then, Mango knew that Madam Ye had called Nathaniel after she heard what he said.

She had no idea what Madam Ye said to Nathaniel, but if she knew that Madam Ye might think she was lying if she told him that Edolie had scalded her face with hot water.

Besides, Nathaniel didn't know that Mango and Edolie had struck a deal. If she told him the truth about what had happened, she would have to explain Edolie's current behavior and it would inevitably lead to her agreement with Edolie. By then, Mango wasn't sure if Nathaniel would be angry.

After all, no man would want their wife to trade them away like an object.

At the time, she had been too anxious.

Mango bit her lip as she thought of this and she replied sullenly, "Yup, my face is ruined. Are you going to fall out of love with me now?"

Mango wasn't really thinking when she asked that question, but it sounded like she implied something else when Nathaniel heard it.

Was Madam Ye speaking the truth?

Did Mango lose her confidence because of Edolie?

Then, he sighed softly and he said with some distress, "Let me see your face."

"No! It's way too ugly, so don't look at it. I'll be all right in a few days."

Mango wouldn't let Nathaniel see her face even if she was threatened at gunpoint. If he saw it, then the real truth would be exposed.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel's heart ached as he noticed that Mango was being adamant, so he said, "You're the most beautiful woman in my eyes and you don't need makeup to look beautiful. Okay, I'll have Thomas send a special ointment over for you that won't leave scars on your face." "Alright." Truth be told, Mango felt quite depressed.

It was the first time that she'd ever been so frustrated, and to make matters worse, she had lost her pride to a teenage girl.

However, Nathaniel wasn't aware of what was going through Mango's head and he continued, "If you really think that Edolie is like an eyesore, then I'll just transfer her to another hospital. At least you won't be so annoyed."

"Very well, transfer her away."

This was what Mango wanted to say.

She would feel so much more at ease if Edolie wasn't around.

"Okay, I'll talk to the director of the army hospital and have Edolie transferred over here."

The best hospital Nathaniel could think of aside from the Central Hospital was the military hospital. Since Mango didn't want Edolie to stay at the Central Hospital, then the next best thing was to transfer Edolie to the hospital that he was currently at.

However, Mango became even more annoyed when she heard that.

"Noway!"

"Why not?"

"I said, no way!"

In truth, Mango thought that Edolie might take the opportunity to sleep with Nathaniel if she went over there.

Although she believed in Nathaniel's self-righteousness, Edolie might have a lot of tricks up her sleeve. Thus, Mango would be at the losing end if she let Edolie get her way.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel felt that Mango had really been affected by Edolie when he thought of her vehement refusal and Madam Ye's words earlier.

"Mango, she's just a little girl. I'm not interested in her."

Mango secretly thought in her heart when she heard Nathaniel's answer, "You're not interested in her, but she's obsessed with you."

"Forget it, just let her stay here. I'll just ignore her for the time being."

Rather than sending Edolie to Nathaniel, Mango preferred to keep Edolie by her side.

Conversely, Nathaniel knew what Mango was worried about the moment she said that. However, what Madam Ye said was right as well. Edolie had saved Rita's life, so he couldn't portray the Ye Family as ungrateful.

"I'm so sorry to trouble you."

Nathaniel's words made Mango burst into tears.

She felt really wronged!

Ugh, she hated it!

However, she couldn't express her grievances right now and Mango absolutely despised this feeling.

"Nathaniel, I really regret taking Edolie's kidney."

This time, Mango was telling the truth.

She was in a dilemma.

Nathaniel sighed softly and said, "I'm so sorry for making you go through this. If I didn't get stabbed, I would have never taken Edolie's kidney because I want to save my daughter myself. Alas, we're indebted to her now. If you think about this from another perspective, Edolie's future life and marriage might be affected by the surgery, so we owe her quite much."

Of course, Mango understood this.

She wasn't heartless, but she felt extremely upset because she had to exchange Nathaniel for all this. Unfortunately, Mango couldn't tell him about any of this.

"How are you?"

Hence, Mango had no choice but to change the subject.
