The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 743

Novalee hesitated whether she should pick up the phone or not, but what would Walter do if she did not pick up the call? How could she explain it?

The phone was still ringing and Novalee felt really conflicted deep down.

She had no choice but to answer the phone.

"Hello?"

"Novalee, you're so bold, aren't you? You took so long to answer my call. Do you want me to cut down your brother's fingers?"

The other party's tone was very fierce.

"Don't touch my brother!"

"You'd better be obedient if you don't want me to hurt your brother. Anyway, what do you think? Does Walter completely trust you now?"

The other party's words made Novalee's heart twitch in pain.

"Not completely."

"Don't fool me. Do you really think that I don't know? He's willing to risk his life for you. Novalee, if you don't listen to me, I have a lot of ways to make you stay obedient."

"You don't touch my brother. I'll do whatever you want me to do."

Novalee bit her lower lip as she felt extremely anguished deep down.

"Isn't it be better if you compromised earlier? Why did you let me do this? Anyway, find Walter's company's seal and send a duplicate to me."

"What?"

Novalee was completely stunned.

"How could I even steal such an important thing like the company seal?"

"Think of ways to get it if you can't as I want this seal no matter what. It's up to you to decide. Think about the consequences for yourself if you can't do it."

The other party hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking.

At that instant, Novalee was completely devastated and she saw no hope.

She clearly knew what the consequences were if she got Walter's company's seal.

She didn't want to get into a fight with Walter as she had really fallen in love with him, but what would happen to her brother if she didn't do this?

Novalee bit her lower lip and tears were welling up in her eyes.

Why would her life be like this?

Walter didn't know Novalee's mood. She was gone when he raised his head after buying something from his phone and asking that seller to deliver it in person.

"Novalee? Novalee?"

Walter came out and saw Novalee leaning against the wall with tears in her eyes. He immediately frowned.

"What's wrong? Who bullied you?"

"No, my stomach is just a little pain."

Novalee looked at Walter with grief.

His eyes were full of care and sincerity, but she...

Thinking of these days when they were together, she really hoped that she could turn back time to the moment she first met Walter. She could really get along with Walter and be with him.

"Why are you still standing here when you have a stomachache? Call the doctor quickly. Come on, I'll carry you back to bed. Damn it, you're an adult, but you don't know how to take care of yourself."

Walter picked up Novalee and quickly returned to the bed in the ward.

"You rest here for a while. I'll call a doctor."

Walter turned around and left, but Novalee held his arms.

"Just accompany me for a while, just a moment will do."

"Silly girl, I am not a doctor and I can't relieve your pain. Be good and listen to me. Let the doctor have a look at your condition when he comes."

Walter smiled and pushed her hand away before he quickly ran outside.

The moment when Walter let go of her hand, Novalee felt an emptiness that she had not experienced in her whole life.

Would her future be like that too?

Would she lose Walter eventually?

Perhaps she would!

After all, no one would fall for a swindler who had lied to them and stay by the person's side.

Then, Novalee cried her heart out.

She did not have feelings for Walter when they first met. However, now that she fell for him, she did not want to let go of the emotions that came along.

Later, Novalee was no longer there when Walter brought the doctor in.

"Novalee? Novalee?"

Walter quickly called Novalee, but she did not answer.

"Doctor, I'll go and look for her. She might have went out to buy something."

Walter did not know if he was saying this to the doctor or to himself.

He ran out quickly and saw Novalee sitting on the stairs outside while looking at the passers-by with her hands crossed in front of her knees as if she was lost in thought.

Her silhouette seemed so lonely and sad, just like Walter when he was a child.

Walter remembered that he also used to look at the passers- by with a blank expression without knowing what to do next. That happened after he found that his father had cheated on his mother and she went crazy.
