The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 444

Terrance's words gave Rainie a pause.

"What do you mean?"

"Wait, isn't Rita still kidnapped? Is there any news of her? Under the circumstances, Nathaniel would never leave Ocean City. Furthermore, I haven't heard anything about the Ye family's businesses that warrant such an urgent response."

Rainie frowned deeply when she heard Terrance speak.

"What the hell are you saying?"

Meanwhile, Genevieve hurriedly cut in when she saw that Rainie was persistently interrogating Terrance.

"Hey, let's talk about this later okay? Aren't we here to see Mango? I think it's better if we all go inside."

On the other hand, Terrance became nervous when Genevieve said that.

"Did something happen to Mango?"

"Mr. Hans, you're an uninvited and an unwelcome guest, so I suggest that you don't go inside. Plus, Mango has no desire to see anyone from the Hans family. Mango and I have a pretty good guess why you're here, and the only thing I can tell you is that she's feeling unwell. If you really want what's best for her, then I think it would be better if you stop trying to force her to do something she doesn't want to. Your mother has upset Mango greatly once, so are you going to do it again?"

Although Rainie significantly softened her tone, the implication behind her words was very clear to Terrance.

At this point, it would be a horrible idea if Terrance went inside and he pleaded with Mango to go to the Hans family's mansion to see his mother.

However, Terrance felt uneasy at the thought of leaving the house immediately.

"Okay, I'm not going inside, but I'll wait here. Once you two are out, could you please tell me how she's doing? Regardless of what happened, I'm still her uncle and I need to know what happened to her in Nathaniel's absence."

The explicit concern on Terrance's face convinced Rainie to soften her attitude.

"Wait if you want to, but I can't guarantee that Mango will allow us to tell you what happened. All your waiting might be in vain." "It doesn't matter." At that moment, Terrance had completely shed his identity as Mr. Hans.

Meanwhile, Genevieve's eyes landed on Terrance briefly as she wanted to say something to him, but in the end, she held back as Rainie was there.

After that, both women entered the Shen family household.

Mrs. Shen was very enthusiastic to receive Rainie, and she was delighted to know that Rainie had brought a doctor with her.

"Are you a doctor? Mango has been feeling unwell recently, and her father and I have considered taking her to the hospital to get everything checked out. Ah, but I never expected Rainie to bring you here! So sorry to trouble you!"

Mrs. Shen's warm welcome flustered Genevieve slightly.

"It's fine, Mrs. Shen, I'm here to give Mango a quick checkup. My husband is also a doctor, and he's close friends with Mr. Ye. Before he left, Mr. Ye asked me to come and check on his wife if I was available as Mrs. Ye still needs some medical care."

"Of course, Nathan is thoughtful indeed. Please, come in."

Then, Mrs. Shen graciously invited Genevieve into the house once she realized that the doctor was recommended by both Rainie and Nathaniel.

Genevieve then followed Rainie and Mrs. Shen to Mango's room.

As the door creaked open, Mango didn't stir at all. Perhaps her exhaustion had prevented her from hearing the door open.

Then, Mrs. Shen wanted to wake Mango, but Genevieve stopped her.

"It's fine, Mrs. Shen. Only Miss Blu and I need to be here, and I'll be sure to perform a thorough examination on her. Don't worry."

"So sorry to trouble you, doctor."

Mrs. Shen nodded her head in reply before she went off to prepare some refreshments for Genevieve and Rainie.

Worry seeped into Rainie's tone as she took in how pallid her best friend looked. "Mango has always been a light sleeper, so why..."

"Women with weak constitutions are usually heavy sleepers, but their rest tends to be fitful. Judging from the dark circles beneath her eyes, I'm guessing she hasn't had a good night's sleep in days. Her mental health affects her body greatly as well and she looks very weak just from her facial expression. Right, I'm going to get my instruments, so could you wake her for me?"

As Genevieve observed Mango's lackluster expression, she empathized with Mango greatly.

Mango had a smooth confinement period, but all the crises that happened after caused her to be deprived of proper rest and it seemed to have affected her liver.

Originally, Genevieve had just wanted to give Mango a quick checkup, but the situation warranted a more thorough check after Mango woke up.

Then, Rainie woke Mango up.

Hence, Mango was rather confused and dazed when she spotted Rainie in her room.

"Rainie, what are you doing here?"

"Has the sleep muddled your head? You called to ask me to come over, remember? How are you feeling? Since when does your period make you this weak?"

Worry colored Rainie's expression as she quickly stepped forward to help Mango up.

Only then did Mango's brain caught up to the situation.

"Oh god, look at me. I must have Alzheimer's of something."

Mango chuckled lightly and she got up only to realize that there was someone else in the room.

"This is..."

"This is Dr. Genevieve Bay, from the military hospital. She's Noah's wife, and Nathaniel asked her to come over and check on you."

Rainie's explanation made Mango feel slightly embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Bay. I had no idea."
