The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 838

Mango looked at Sophia and she really didn't want to talk about her mother's condition. She didn't know if fate was playing tricks on them. How could the two sisters be sick at the same time?

"Let's talk about it on the road."

Mango wanted to set off with Sophia. After all, Walter was gone and Sophia had divorced her husband. She was now all alone, which was really heart-wrenching. However, Toby did not agree with this.

"Ms. Sun, I will risk my life to accompany you to wherever you want to go, but Mrs. Song cannot follow us."

"Why not? She is my aunt! I don't care if you approve of her."

Mango forced Sophia to get into the car as she spoke.

Haniya didn't know who Sophia was, but she naturally had a good attitude towards Sophia after seeing how kind Mango was to her.

Toby wanted to say something, but Mango said in a low voice, "I know that you are the Xiao family's subordinate and you would only listen to grandfather. I also know that you may know those things from back then, but she is my aunt no matter what. I can't ignore her. Besides, the two sisters haven't seen each other for so many years. This might be the last chance for them to meet. I don't have to take her along with me if I didn't meet her, but we have been fated to be together. Toby, put us down and give Desmond a call if you can't do this. We can go by ourselves."

Mango might refuse to be in his car anymore if Toby disagreed with anything as she had already made up her mind.

Toby still remembered how Brantley had asked him to take care of Mango, so he could only shut his mouth. He wanted to give Brantley a call, but he heard Mango say, "I won't spare you if you disturb my grandfather. My grandfather isn't in good health either. Are you trying to anger him to death? There's no need to obey orders from your boss if you aren't doing anything bad. Toby, you're mine now, so you have to listen to me for now."

"But Ms. Sun, she..."

"Alright, that's enough. Drive the car."

Mango also knew that her words were inappropriate, but she couldn't abandon Sophia. She couldn't do it because Sophia was her aunt and Walter's mother.

Walter was a filial son, but he was no where to be found now when Sophia was clearly ill. He must have gone somewhere to find a cure for Sophia's illness.

Mango did not wish for anything to happen to Sophia before Walter returned.

When Sophia saw how well Mango treated her, she couldn't help but lament, "It's hard on you, child. To be honest, I'm afraid my illness can't be cured. The only person I want to see in this life is your mother. We haven't seen each other for so many years and a lifetime has passed in the blink of an eye. Perhaps I won't be able to see her before I..."

"Auntie, don't say these upsetting words. No, I believe that my mother will be very happy to see you."

Mango comforted Sophia.

Although Toby didn't agree, he didn't say anything else when he saw that Mango had made up her mind. He was just wary of Sophia.

Sophia didn't show any reaction to this. She was just chatting with Mango about family matters and her kind attitude made Mango think of her mother once again.

What was Queena doing at this time?

Was she also missing Mango?

Mango knew that it wasn't appropriate for her to come out when Brantley and Nathaniel were going against each other. She might disrupt their plans, but she couldn't wait any longer.

It would be fine if she didn't know about Queena's situation. She could be a hostage in Brantley's house and willingly cooperate with him. But Mango couldn't sit still any longer because she knew that Queena was going to die anytime soon.

She did not know whether Queena could wait for her after she wasted so much time.

She wanted to be filial, but her mother might already be gone by then.

Mango didn't want to experience such sorrow. She still had to be filial even if Queena only had one day left to live. At the very least, she had to tell Queena that she was going to be a granny. She might be able to live a few more days with this news.

When Sophia saw Mango's sudden sadness, she couldn't help but ask, "Missing your mother?"

"Well, I miss her because I haven't been with her for so many years. I suddenly want to stay with her now and listen to her stories."

"What a good child! It's better to have a daughter. Look at my son. How old is he now? He hasn't even had a family yet and I can't even have a grandson. I might not even see my grandson in this life."

There was a trace of confusion in Sophia's eyes.

Mango collected her sadness and comforted Sophia, "Auntie, don't say that. Walter's fate has yet to come. I believe that he will be able to find his true love and you will definitely be able to see your grandson."

"Don't comfort me. I know that you are being kind-hearted. Alas, I don't know what my sister looks like after so many years. I remember I was only 8 years old, and my sister was already 12 when I left. She looked very beautiful at that time."

Sophia seemed to be immersed in the past, so Mango couldn't bear to interrupt her. Mango felt a sense of warmth as she listened to Sophia talking about Queena and their childhood.

Toby didn't say anything while Haniya was just carrying her duty and staying by their side. She said nothing and even tried to reduce her sense of presence as much as possible.

After they travelled a long distance, Mango noticed that Toby had driven to the airport. She could not help but ask, "Are we going to take a plane?"

"Yes, Ms. Sun. Travelling by plane is faster! I'm afraid that sir can't make it in time..."

Toby still wanted to continue, but he was still cautious of Sophia, so he said nothing else. Mango, however, understood clearly.

"Get auntie a flight ticket when we arrive the airport."

"Got it."

Toby wasn't willing to do so, but he didn't disobey Mango's orders.
