The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 726

"Holy crap! When did you come out?"

Walter covered the phone subconsciously.

Mango knew that Novalee was coming after she heard what Walter said.

She suddenly became silent.

Novalee might not have expected that Walter would suddenly turn his head, so she was shocked and said with some embarrassment, "I just came out to have a look. Are you still on your phone?"

"Ah, it's over. We have to attend a video conference later."

With this, Walter said to the phone, "Let's talk about this later. Let me see how the situation is like first."

"Alright."

Mango hung up the phone.

She didn't know if Novalee was suspicious, but suddenly she felt a tightness in her chest.

Novalee was such a simple person. She was straightforward and she treated her and Walter very good too. She had even almost lost her life because of Walter. Would such a woman have other purposes?

After hanging up the phone, Walter smiled and said to Novalee, "Have you finished eating the apple?"

"Uh? Yeah... I've finished eating."

Novalee paused for a moment and looked a little absent-minded.

"I'll go to the bathroom first. You can go back first."

"Alright."

Novalee couldn't follow Walter to the bathroom, so she just went back to the ward.

Walter frowned slightly, and there was a trace of complexity in his eyes.

Mango would not lie to him.

In between Mango and Novalee, Walter trusted Mango more. It was not that he had something against Novalee. He would always remember that woman that would risk her life to save him. However, he was still left with doubt because Mango had not finished her words.

After going to the bathroom, Walter directly changed the name of Mango's contact number to secretary Hadley.

He sat on the toilet bowl and called Mango back instantly.

"What do you want to tell me about Novalee?"

"It's not a big deal. I'm just a little curious. Do you know that Novalee and Nanny Zhang are from the same village?"

"What?"

Walter was quite surprised.

"Who did you hear that from?"

"I met Henry, Nanny Zhang's younger brother, in their village. Henry said that everyone in the village knew some medical skills, and would at least be able to protect themselves from danger. Plus, my throat was completely cured with the help of Henry. This was supposed to be something good, but I feel that Novalee would be able to protect herself when Zendaya beat her if she knew medical skills. Her immediate response when Zendaya beat her would be to protect the most important part of her body, and not become like this."

Mango paused for a moment before continuing, "Walter, it's not that I'm suspicious of anything, it's just that I have this doubt. There might not be any problem with Novalee. It might be just me that worried too much. She's so kind, simple and straightforward. I think I'm already delusional, so don't bother about me."

Mango felt that there was something wrong with herself as she spoke.

Walter frowned and said in a low voice, "Zendaya is still alive. I'll ask her later."

"Don't do that. I might be overthinking. I've run through everything just now and felt that I might be overthinking."

Mango felt like she had been in a state of panic for the past two days.

"It's nothing... I'm just asking."

After Walter finished talking to Mango, he sat in the toilet and smoked one cigarette after another. After all, no one wanted to doubt their savior.

He would take care of Novalee for the rest of his life if Novalee was really injured because of saving him. However, no one could bear all this if there were other purposes and conspiracies in it.

Walter stayed in the bathroom for a long time before he came out.

Novalee smelled the cigarettes on him when he came back to the ward.

"You've smoked?"

"Well, I've been holding it in for several days and just wanted to let myself enjoy, but I didn't expect you to realize it."

Walter said with a grin, "What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you."

Novalee looked at Walter and said with a smile, "Everything is fine. Let's buy some fruit since I can't taste anything."

"Alright."

Walter said as he put his mobile phone on the table. He then went to put his coat on and went out after that.

Novalee looked at Walter's mobile phone on the table and struggled.

She stopped for a while and looked around. After she realized that nobody was around, she took and unlocked the mobile phone quickly.

There was once when Walter was not convenient to answer the phone, so he told Novalee the password of his phone and got Novalee to help him turn on the phone.

She nervously unlocked the phone now and was relieved when she found out that Walter did not change his password.

She quickly checked Walter's call record. She felt relieved to see secretary Hadley's contact on top of the call list.

Novalee put the mobile phone back on the table she saw that.

What she didn't expect was that Walter didn't go far. Instead, his heart gradually cooled down when he saw every move that Novalee did.

How could Novalee be in a hurry to know who he was talking to if there was nothing wrong with her?

How could she look at his mobile phone privately if she didn't have any ulterior motives?

Walter quickly hid, but his heart was very heavy.

He went to the fruit stall to buy a few fruits and then came back.
