The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 372

"Mom, are you awake? I'll go look for the doctor."

Clearly, Mango was very excited.

Then, Nathaniel said, "You stay here. I'll call the doctor instead."

After that, he turned and left the ward.

Queena knew that she was still alive when she saw Mango, and it felt quite surreal to see her daughter again.

"Mango..."

"Mom!"

Mango immediately grabbed hold of Queena's hand and her gaze held a trace of both excitement and sadness.

"How could you be so stupid? Why did you do it? It doesn't matter if Andrea dies, but how could you throw away your life?"

"I'm sorry, Mango. I've wronged you. Andrea is my daughter, so it's my fault that she turned out this way and she keeps scheming to hurt you. Honestly, I can't bear to watch her hurt you, so the only thing I can do is to take her away. I think you'll only be at peace if sees your father and own up to her sins."

Queena's voice was weak, but tears flowed from her eyes.

She was a very strong woman, yet she was upset for Mango's sake.

Then, Mango sobbed and said, "Do you think that no one else would hurt me if Andrea's no longer there? Can you mitigate every risk and danger there is on the planet? Why do you have to be so extreme, mom? The only thing I'm afraid of is when the people I care about get hurt. I'm afraid of my loved ones slipping away from me, and I'll be left all alone. Life is short, yet you want to cut yourself out from my life even though we don't have much time together? Mom, do you hate me that much?"

Queena's face was wet with tears as Mango said that.

"Of course not, how could I ever hate you?"

"Then you must live, and watch as I turn the tables and win. Look at how I can make a better life for myself on my own. I'm not scared of anyone as I can walk on my own path, nor do I need anyone to do anything for me. Do you understand?"

Then, Mango held onto Queena's hand tightly as if the older woman would disappear if she let go.

She never wanted to experience what she felt when she found out that Queena had attempted suicide.

On the other hand, Queena did not have the courage to take her life again. Furthermore, she seemed to see a young Dennis reflected in Mango's force of will.

"You're really your father's daughter. Both of you are so strong."

"Well, I'm your daughter too."

Mango's words caused Queena's eyes to fill with tears again.

"What did you call me just now? Can you say it again?"

"I called you my mom!"

Truth be told, Mango had thought that it would be difficult to call Queena that, but that couldn't be further from the truth.

"Oh gosh!"

At that moment, Queena became agitated and the monitor next to her beeped loudly, which frightened Mango so badly that she went pale.

"Calm down, mom! That's right, take a deep breath!"

Then, Queena slowly calmed down under Mango's guidance.

After that, the doctor arrived and he quickly carried out a full- body examination for

Queena.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel pulled Mango into his embrace.

Mango always felt braver whenever Nathaniel was around.

After a moment, the doctor looked up and said, "Not bad, all her bodily functions have returned save for the blood sugar. She can have soft food and fluids, but not too much because she needs to bolster her blood sugar levels."

"Thank you, doctor."

Mango thanked the doctor immediately after that.

Then, Nathaniel saw the doctors out before he asked the servants at home to prepare some food.

On the other hand, Queena couldn't help but speak up when she saw Mango running around to get things done, "Hey, stop bustling about and sit with me for a moment. I'll feel better after I've had the chance to properly look at you."

"I'm not some miracle drug, mom. How would you feel better just by looking at me? Okay, I'll promise to stay and look after you, but you have to comply with the doctor's instructions, okay?"

Mango spoke softly to Queena as if she were coaxing a child.

Then, the older lady nodded with a wide grin on her face.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel decided not to bother them and left the ward. After that, he ran into Terrance, who had arrived after he heard the news that Queena was awake.

"Don't go in, both of them are having a chat."

Nathaniel stopped Terrance in his tracks.

Next, Terrance muttered, "Is Queena all right?" "The doctor told us that all is well except for her low blood sugar, butthat's not a huge problem."

Then, Nathaniel lit a cigarette before he handed another one to Terrance.

The other man gave Nathaniel a look and said, "Didn't you say that you wanted to quit smoking? Have you given up on that?"

"There's been a lot of things on my plate recently, so I'll wait for a few more days."

After that, Nathaniel paused for a moment.

Could it be that he had been smoking too much recently?

So much that even Terrance had noticed it?

Nathaniel silently reflected on his past actions as he smoked.

Meanwhile, Terrance had no idea what was going on in Nathaniel's head. Then, he asked after taking a drag of the cigarette, "Are you really going to let Andrea do as she pleases? The Hans Family and Mango will never know peace as long as she's still in Ocean City."

"It doesn't matter. Mango and I will be taking the children overseas on vacation after Minister Xiao gets better. As for Andrea, whatever she does with the Hans Family is none of our concern."

The more Nathaniel spoke, the more embarrassed Terrance became.

"You might as well just hit me."
