The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 336

"I need to make a phone call!"

Nathaniel could see that Madam Hans wanted to some alone time with Mango, so he hastily made up an excuse.

"Let me know if you need anything, Mango. I'll be right outside."

Even though he planned to leave them alone, he still said that to reassure Mango before he went out.

She knew that Nathaniel was worried about her, so she nodded at him.

"I'll be going, Madam Hans."

"All right."

Then, Madam Hans nodded at Nathaniel.

After that, only Mango and Madam Hans were left inside the room and Mango couldn't help but feel somewhat restrained.

Although Madam Hans was her grandmother, they felt more like strangers. Other than their familial ties, Mango had no idea what else to say.

Then, Madam Hans pulled on Mango's hand and asked Mango to sit by her bedside. Then, she said, "I know that you don't like Andrea very much. Truth be told, I didn't like her either at the start, but she is your mother's daughter and your half-sister. Even though she's not related to the Hans Family, I can't be too harsh on her for Queena's sake, right? Furthermore, she cared for me faithfully over the last twenty days, so I can't just get rid of her, right?"

Honestly, Mango found it strange when she heard that Andrea had spent so much time together with Madam Hans.

Andrea was known for being a spoiled rich kid.

So, why would she suddenly start caring for Madam Hans?

Hence, Mango had no idea what that girl was up to.

Alas, it was pointless to say anything now as Madam Hans had a rather good impression of Andrea.

"I see. I don't mind it at all."

Then, Mango smiled faintly before asking, "Are you feeling better?"

"Much better. Speaking of this, I'm thankful to Andrea because I heard that she had obtained the antidote which saved me from being paralysed forever. Based on this reason alone, the Hans Family can't just ignore her, right?"

Then, Mango's entire body suddenly froze.

"Who told you that she brought the antidote back? Was it Minister Xiao? Or was it Terrance?"

"Oh Mango, why are you still calling her Minister Xiao even when you've acknowledged us as your family? She's still your mother, you know. Although she didn't raise you and she's aware that you're very close to your adoptive mother, you still can't call her that. Just imagine how sad she'd be if she heard that."

Madam Hans didn't have any intention of reprimanding Mango, but she just wanted Mango to be closer to them.

However, Mango didn't pay much attention to those details as she raised the question again.

"You said that Andrea got the antidote for you? Who told you that?"

"No one told me! Since Andrea is not a part of our family, your mother would never put in a good word for her. Furthermore, your uncle hasn't come around as frequently ever since Andrea came to take care of me. Actually, I overheard a nurse telling Andrea that she needed to rest because she had taken a beating in order to get the antidote. Despite the fact that I asked her about it, Andrea just kept silent. Truth be told, I'm sure she's keeping this to herself because she doesn't want to upset me. Oh Mango, I should treat both of you well since you two are sisters, right?"

Madam Hans's eyes were filled with hope as she looked at Mango.

However, Mango laughed bitterly on the inside.

So, it seemed that Andrea was very good at deceiving people.

Andrea actually robbed Mango's credit as she knew that Queena and Terrance would never tell Madam Hans the truth.

That was because the old lady would feel extremely remorseful towards Mango if she found out. By then, the mental stress would definitely affect her health terribly.

Hence, Mango had to admit that Andrea knew how to play her cards well.

Now that Madam Hans regarded Andrea as a good person, it would be pointless for Mango to say anything to the contrary.

As Mango thought of this, she smiled and replied, "Sure, whatever you say goes. I don't really have much of an opinion either way. However, you still need to take good care of yourself. You can ask Uncle Terrance to hire a nurse for you if you need one."

"It's alright, why would I need a nurse when Andrea is here? She's far more reliable than any nurse."

Hence, it could be seen that Madam Hans had a very high opinion of Andrea.

At the end of the day, Mango still felt a little uneasy about the whole situation.

Mango had no idea what Andrea was planning, so she was rather worried at the prospect of Andrea spending so much time together with Madam Hans. Alas, she couldn't think of a reason to get rid of Andrea.

"Either way, it's better to hire a nurse. No matter how you put it, Andrea led a rather luxurious lifestyle back in the United States. Now that she's here with our family, we can't treat her like a servant, right?"

Then, Madam Hans was delighted when Mango called addressed the Hans Family as her family.

"Yes, you're right! I guess my granddaughter can see the bigger picture. Very well, I'll do as you say!"

Madam Hans was so happy that she would agree to whatever Mango said.

Thus, Mango felt quite touched at Madam Hans's

actions.

"Nathan told me that Uncle Terrance has been busy handling the issue of my identity. Actually, I really want you to recover as soon as possible. If not, who's going to formally welcome me into the Hans Family?"

"Don't worry, I'll go home right now and enter your name into our family's ancestral lineage. Frankly, I can die happy if I can formally induct you into the ranks of the Hans Family. Please do visit me more often whenever you're free, okay?"
