The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 918

"What are you doing?"

Laney was so frightened that she took two steps back, but she hit the wall behind her and cried out in pain again.

Mango said with some embarrassment, "I...I just wanted to see you. I have a cell phone here. Although there is no signal, we can still use the flashlight."

Hearing this, Laney muttered, "Don't...don't look at me. I'm afraid that I'll scare you."

"It doesn't matter. You are Sisi's mother. I have to make sure that, right? Otherwise, how can I tell you about Sisi?"

Mango's words silenced Laney.

She quickly found the phone and turned on the flashlight, but she almost screamed when she saw Laney.

Laney was no longer a human being.

She was deformed and was very skinny. The most important thing was that her face had been disfigured!

"Your face..." "Kolton said that I had a charming face and that it would only harm others, so he ruined it for me."

Laney smiled faintly as she talked about it. However, her smile seemed a little terrifying to Mango.

Laney's face had been damaged by acid. Except for her nose, eyes, and mouth, the rest of her face looked horrible.

Mango's heart couldn't help but ache.

"I heard from Sisi that she would video call you once in a while. Doesn't she know about your face?"

"I haven't video- called Sisi recently. She and I haven't contacted each other for a long time. Kolton was angry lately, so he only came here to take his anger out on me. He would never let me see Sisi. There were times where I suspected he had killed Sisi. Maybe Sisi wasn't his favourite child, or maybe it was because of me, but he threw her away two days after she was born. It took me a lot of effort to find my child. I thought Kolten would bring her back. Like many years ago, he came to the orphanage like a prince and took Marissa and me away together, but I was wrong. He isn't a human being, let alone a prince! Maybe he is only Marrisa's prince!"

Laney cried as she spoke.

"I miss Sisi very much. When I gave birth to her, I had a hard time conceiving her. It took me four days and four nights to gave birth to her. At that time, her breathing was weak, and I was afraid that she would not survive. But she managed to survive with her strength. I didn't have breast milk. While watching the child crying because of hunger, I begged Kolton to give her something to eat, but he took her away. I thought that even if he didn't like me, he would at least treat his daughter better. But who would have thought that he would send Sisi to an orphanage? Poor Sisi didn't even have the chance to drink a sip of milk, and I didn't even get to feed her. Now she should be in her twenties. But I can only see her through videos. The last time I saw her, she didn't know how she got blind for some reason, but I didn't dare to ask as I was afraid she would blame me."

Laney cried louder as she spoke of it.

Mango was also a mother, so she naturally knew what kind of feelings a mother had for a child.

She patted Laney on the shoulder and comforted her in a low voice. "Sisi didn't hurt any nerves inside her eyes, so her condition could still be cured. In fact, not long ago, my husband, Nathaniel, cured her eyes. She is still as beautiful as before."

"Your husband, Nathaniel? Is he the baby that Kolton and Nanny Zhang made with test tubes?"

"Yes."

Mango didn't like it when other people talked about her husband, but this was an indelible fact. She couldn't do anything about it.

Laney sighed and said, "Kolton committed quite a lot of sins for Marrisa. Sisi was a mistake that I made when I fell in love with Kolton. I thought that I could give him a baby to make him happy, but I offended him. He didn't want to have anything to do with any other woman, except for Marrisa, in his life. But she couldn't satisfy him at all. He was loyal and lovely to Marrisa but cruel and mean to others. He could go against the world for her! I don't understand why he would fall in love with Marrisa all of a sudden! Is it because she is more beautiful than I am?"

"It's hard to say when it comes to feelings. Although looks may be one of the reasons, it's not everything. Perhaps they have something common that we don't know about. Aunt Laney, there's no use thinking about it anymore. If you let go of your feelings with Kolton and fall in love with someone else instead, maybe you and Sisi's lives will be different, won't they? But could you control your feelings at that time?"

Laney fell silent as she heard Mango's words.

Yes, if she didn't fell for Kolton and didn't use those ways to get Kolton, would her and Sisi's life

be different?

Laney remained silent, and Mango rested for a while.

She leaned against the wall and suddenly asked as she thought of Marrisa and Kolton, "Aunt Laney, do you know what's wrong with Marrisa? I feel that she not only has congenital disorders, but she's most likely been poisoned."
