The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 472

"But, he told me that he would be back in two days."

Mango's sentence surprised Noah.

"Did you two speak on the phone?"

"Not really, it was a video call. We chatted for a bit, but I had no idea he was in so much pain."

Mango didn't think that there was anything else to hide from Noah.

Noah was mildly shocked as he said, "He still contacts you after all. I don't think you told him about your condition, right?"

"No, I didn't."

In fact, Mango was glad that she did not disclose her condition. Otherwise, she would regret it immensely.

If Mango had failed to hold back all her sadness and she told Nathaniel the truth, perhaps he would have returned home no matter what.

Now, she realized that holding back was quite an important skill.

Noah heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Mango hadn't told Nathaniel anything.

"That's great, so he won't be affected then. If you hadn't said anything, he will try his very best to kick the addiction because he wants to come back and see you. But I do need to tell you that the blood transfusions he's having could damage his body, and Nathaniel may face a lot of problems in the future. By then..."

"Relax, I know what you mean. I won't let Nathan find out about my situation. I understand that he can't be distracted."

Noah was actually quite impressed by Mango's words, but Genevieve did not agree.

"Noah, aren't you going too far? Nathaniel is your close friend, but Mango is mine as well. You're only thinking of healing him, but have you ever considered the severity of Mango's condition? If we can't figure out a way to reverse her uterine shrinkage in time, are you going to let Nathaniel live in regret for the rest of his life?"

Anger seeped into Genevieve's bones.

She had always disagreed with Noah on the situation.

Perhaps it was the fact that Genevieve saw many similarities between her past self and Mango, or it could be because Mango's resilience made her heart ached. Either way, Genevieve could no longer hold it in.

Noah wanted to comment on his wife's obvious agitation, but he refrained from saying anything in the end.

However, Mango chuckled before saying, "Stop fighting guys, this is my decision. Nathaniel kept me in the dark about his condition because he didn't want me to worry, and I'm doing the same now. Noah is right, the culprit must be powerful enough to drug Nathan quietly. There are a lot of things that he needs to handle upon returning home, and I don't want to hold him back. Plus, I'm sure you two won't let anything happen to me, right?"

Tears welled up in Genevieve's eyes as she listened to what Mango said.

"Mango, no one can give you a firm answer on that."

"It doesn't matter. If God wants to take me back into his arms, I won't blame you two. Of course, I'll make sure to spend my time with Nathaniel well. Don't burden yourselves too much, and just go with the flow."

Mango was now back to her usual gentle and easygoing self, but it made Noah uncomfortable instead.

I will try my best, don't worry." "I believe in your skills. So, can you tell me how Nathaniel is doing now?"

After Mango discovered what was going on, she felt even more heartache over Nathaniel's condition, and she wanted to see him even more.

Even if she couldn't be there in person, Mango still wanted to see how he was doing.

Nathaniel was a stubborn man and she loved him dearly. How could he bear everything on his own?

Didn't he know that she would be heartbroken for him?

Just then, Mango felt as if the knives were slowly piercing into her heart.

Alas, Noah was still hesitant and Genevieve gave him a fierce glare before saying, "Everything's out in the open, so what are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid that she can't bear to watch it."

Noah's words caused Mango to shiver in fear.

He was right!

She couldn't bear it at all, but so what?

All Mango wanted to know was his current condition.

Noah's resolve finally crumbled when he saw how determined Mango was.

"I can let you see how he's doing, but you can't speak to him or disturb him, nor can you go to him. You need to understand that the last two days are crucial to him, and there will be severe consequences if he stops the treatment now. We've already come too far to give up now..."

"I know. Don't worry, I won't bother him. In fact, I just want to see him."

There was a hint of trembling in Mango's voice.

Noah sighed and he said, "Come with me."

"I'll go with her. If there's an emergency, at least I'll be able to care for her."

Noah nodded in reply to Genevieve's words.

When they left the office, Rainie was a little confused to see the three of them.

"Where are you going?"

"Nowhere, we're going to the conference room to have a meeting about Mango's condition."

Genevieve replied with a light smile.

Rainie hurriedly answered, "I want to go too. I want to know about her condition."

"Rainie, please return to the ward. If anyone comes to visit me, just tell them that I'm undergoing a physical examination so that they won't get worried."

Rainie's mind went blank for a moment upon those words and she felt that Mango was hiding something from her.

Was it something to do with her body?
