The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 768

"Auntie, I..."

"Forget it. Just pretend I didn't say that. You already know what I'm going to do either. I only have one request for you, I hope you can pretend you don't know what I'm going to do and don't stop me from doing it. Do you think you can do that? Mango, for the sake of your mother and me, you have to agree to my request no matter what."

Sophia tightly grasped onto Mango's hand.

Mango was extremely conflicted.

"Auntie, I really..."

"Mango, I'm your biological aunt and Walter is your true cousin. Do you really want him to ruin his whole life?"

What Sophia had said made Mango speechless. She wanted to say something, anything, but the words seemed to stuck inside her throat, and she couldn't get them out.

"I promise that I won't hurt Novalee. I want to send her away and stop her from being with Walter. After all, she has done me a favor and saved me. I'm not an ungrateful person."

Sophia quickly added as she saw the hesitation in

Mango's eyes.

Mango didn't say anything but gave her consent.

Sophia happily said, "You rest here for a while, and I'll be right back. By the way, you better call Walter and lure him away. Otherwise, I won't be able to make a move."

"Aunt, you'd better not..."

"I beg you to do it this time only, please. Mango, you're also a mother. I beg you."

Mango was in a difficult position as she watched Sophia begged her.

She had to call Walter in front of Sophia.

"Where are you?"

"I'm still at outside at the emergency room. Why?"

Walter's voice sounded tired.

Mango looked at Sophia, who was winking at her. She was obviously trying to get Mango to help her.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "Can you come to my place now?"

"Is something wrong? Isn't Nathaniel there? Mango, I really can't leave. You know, with Novalee's current situation, I..."

"Auntie fell down and is hospitalized. She is in the Orthopedics Department of First People's Hospital."

Mango's words made Walter nervous all of a sudden.

"How is my mother? No, how did she fell? Where did it happen?"

"Don't be nervous. She fell down on the stairs at home. The doctor said that she needed to be hospitalized, it's better for you to come here."

Mango finished her sentence in one breath.

Walter was conflicted but yet he said, "Alright, I'm on my way. Please look after my mother for a while. I'll find someone to take care of Novalee."

Sophia couldn't help but feel delighted when she heard that her son cared about her.

"My son is the best."

Sophia said emotionally as Mango hung up the phone.

However, Mango had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Aunt, what are you going to do?"

"What else can I do? I'll go there right now. Tell me which floors is Novalee in at the Central Hospital?"

Sophia asked while lifting up her blanket

Mango concernedly said, "Auntie, you can't walk around as you pleased when your foot's injured."

"I'll do anything for my son. These pair of feet meant nothing if compared to him. I've done too little for him in this life. Mango, you have to help me hold off Walter. Sorry for causing you troubles."

Sophia got up and limped out of the ward as she spoke.

Mango wanted to stop her, but in the end, she didn't.

She called Walter again once Sophia left the room.

"Walter, Auntie went to the Central Hospital to find Novalee. You'd better not come over. I was forced to call you just now."

Walter was slightly stunned.

"My mother's foot injury is fake?"

"It's true, and she hurt herself badly too. The doctor advised her to stay in hospital. But she doesn't want Novalee's current state to make you feel like you're responsible for it, so..."

Walter suddenly became silent.

"Are you still here?"

"Yes!"

"Walter, I have something to tell you."

Mango contemplated for a while before she muttered, "Aunt just told me that she and my mother, Queena, are related to one another.

Therefore, she's my real aunt and you're my cousin."

Walter was completely dumbfounded upon hearing Mango's word.

"What did you say?"

"I just heard of it too, Walter."

Mango smiled humorously, but Walter couldn't bring himself to laugh.

The woman he loved the most is his cousin?

Was the universe ever gonna let him live?

"My mother said that?"

"Yes."

"Did you seek for proof?"

"I don't think it's necessary for auntie to lie to me on this matter. Besides, my mom is not in Ocean City, so I can't prove anything. Auntie did asked me to do a paternity test. Do you think it's necessary?"

Mango's words once again made Walter depressed.

It seemed like it was the truth since his mother had brought up the paternity test.

"Mango, are you at ease now? You can finally get rid of me. I will be the worst person on earth if I continue to bother you."

What are you talking about? Didn't you put those feelings away a long time ago?"

Walter forced a smile.
