The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 702

Walter stopped himself.

He looked at Genevieve for quite some times, and word by word he said, "Both of us are single. What's wrong for me to pursue and marry her?"

"You clearly don't like her. We all know very well whom you like in your heart."

"Time is the best remedy. I can make room for her. Please don't interfere in our business, Genevieve."

Walter's voice was not loud but it was serious.

Genevieve was instantly astounded.

"Have you decided to give up on Mango?"

"Do I have any other choice? It's unfair to Novalee if I don't give up on Mango."

Once again, Walter went to the restroom after finished his words.

Looking at Walter's back, Genevieve suddenly realized that she did not understand Walter at all.

Everyone thought that Walter was a playboy, and she thought that he loved Mango to the bone. She did not expect that he would make such a choice under the circumstances.

Walter did not care about how Genevieve thought about him. He came out with a towel and hot water to wipe Novalee's face and arms.

It took Genevieve quite a while to come to her senses.

When did Walter, who had always been on his high horse, ever serve anyone before? She had never seen Walter be so gentle and considerate to anyone except taking care of Mango last time.

Perhaps it was the fate arranged by God for him and Novalee.

"My senior said that Novalee's body is an unknown, and it won't be so serious. It is too early to jump to conclusions since she hasn't started her rehabilitation yet."

"Alright. I'm mentally prepared. I don't really care whether I will have children or not. What I really care about is her condition."

Genevieve applauded upon hearing his words.

"Don't worry, she'll be all right."

"Thanks, but we shouldn't tell Novalee about her condition. She is still a young girl with fantasies about her future. Her dreams should not be shattered that early. Honestly, it will definitely good if she can be cured in few years time."

Upon hearing Walter's words, Genevieve nodded her head in a hurry.

"Roger that, I'll tell Maxton. By the way, Mango and I gotta leave soon. Guess the project will be deadlocked since Novalee's like this."

"Novalee is a responsible girl. The thing she hopes for the most is to be done with this project. Ever since Mango took a chance on her, she always feels that she needs to do her best for Mango. At the very least, in a field where she is familiar with. You guys should leave now. I know that you're here not for the project, but for Nathaniel's illness, right? Now that you've found Maxton, Mango is more at ease. I want to stay here to take care of Novalee and accompany her. If she wants to handle the tourism industry here, I'll help her, and it'll be helping Mango too."

Walter knew very well the reason why they came here. He kept silent in the past as he hoped that Mango would treat him better. The situation had changed now, and he had made up his mind, so he didn't mind talking about it.

For the first time, Genevieve looked at him seriously and lowered her voice, "Walter, you really impress me."

"Thanks, but what I've done is not for anyone else. I just want her to be happy."

After finished his words, Walter opened the door with obvious intention. He was asking Genevieve to leave.

It was Genevieve's first time being chased out of the ward. She couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, but she was happy for Novalee at the same time.

Perhaps Novalee and Walter were meant to be?

When Genevieve came out, she saw Mango sitting a bench and texting someone with her phone.

"What are you doing here, Mango?"

Genevieve sat down beside Mango.

Mango spoke with a gesture, "I've thought of a person who might be able to cure Novalee."

"Who is that?"

"Desmond and Bettany."

Mango gestured and said, "Desmond's blood has a unique effect, while Bettany is well-known for her medical skills around the world. They might be able to save Novalee."

Then, Genevieve looked at Mango and said in a low voice, "Since you know everything, why didn't you ask Bettany to cure Nathaniel's illness?"

Mango was immediately stunned.

Why didn't she ask?

It was because she didn't want to agree to Bettany's terms.

She could abandon her voice and seek medical help together with Nathaniel, but she couldn't just watch Novalee bear consequences that she shouldn't have suffered.

"Mango, though I don't know what happened between you and Bettany, she told me that your throat could be cured. Why didn't you agree?"

Genevieve had thought about this question for a long time, yet she couldn't find an answer. She had to say something since Bettany's name was mentioned.

Mango was silent.

She didn't want to say it, nor did she know how to explain it.

Genevieve sighed and said, "I won't force you if you don't want to talk about it. You should give it a shot if there's a chance to heal your throat. I bet you don't want to spend the rest of your life using gestures, right? Maxton can't guarantee that he can help Nathaniel either. If Maxton can't do it, I do hope that you can consider Bettany. As long as he's alive, there is hope. Am I right?"

Mango immediately paused for a moment.

There was hope as long as Nathaniel was alive?

Well said!

If he was dead, then there was no point in talking about spending the rest of their lives together.

Mango seemed to have figured things out all of a sudden. She nodded and said, "I'll consider it. Novalee's condition is my priority now. Let's check out Maxton's opinion on Nathan's illness. If it doesn't work, I'll think about Bettany."

"Well, I believe you know what you're doing."

Genevieve patted on Mango's shoulder and once again, she looked at the direction of Novalee's ward.

"We're leaving tomorrow morning. Shouldn't we say goodbye to Novalee?"

Mango paused for a moment before making a gesture and saying, "Of course we should. I'll come over tomorrow morning."
