The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 921

"We misunderstood something? You mean, Laney never left the island?"

"It's possible."

Mango's eyes narrowed.

"Hmm... a place we don't know. Ah! Mom, do you think dad's body could be hidden there? Maybe Laney lied to me, and dad is probably not on this island but somewhere nearby. That's why Kolton brought us here instead of somewhere else."

Mango analyzed, and Queena listened to her.

She whispered, "If your analysis is correct, then your father's body is near here, isn't it?"

"Mom, what do you want to do?"

Mango saw that Queena's gaze was filled with madness and obsession. She couldn't help but ask with concern.

Queena immediately shook her head with a smile and said, "The porridge is cold. You should eat it quickly. Even if you are not hungry, you have to eat."

"Mom..."

"That's enough. Eat first. No matter what you do, you have to make sure you're full first, all right?"

Queena didn't say anything, but her stubborn attitude left Mango speechless.

She took over the porridge and started to eat.

After eating, she felt a little warm.

It was still noisy outside because of Marrisa's illness. There were people everywhere, and no one paid attention to them because they were looking for Laney.

Mango leaned against the edge of the bed and said softly, "Actually, Marrisa's life isn't bad. It's a happy thing to have a man who would go against the world for her."

"It's fine if you don't want this kind of happiness. You'll have too much karma on your hands that you need to pay back in the afterlife."

Mango was slightly taken aback by Queena's words. She smiled and said, "Mom, you still believe in the afterlife?"

"Yes. Things are hard in this life, but you can get what you want during your afterlife."

Queena sat down beside Mango and smiled.

Mango held her hand and whispered, "Mom, there are many things that can't be perfect. Even if you live again, there will still be many regrets in your life. This is life. Take it easy, I know you miss father, but we need to figure it out, all right?"

"I'm fine. Do you want to have a rest?"

Queena wanted to help Mango lie down.

Mango shook her head and said, "I've slept for a while just now, so I don't need to rest anymore. Let's just watch the show and see if Kolton can find Laney. I'm curious now why Laney lied to me. If she tells me where my father is, and we work together, we might have a higher chance of escaping."

"But what if she didn't want to escape at all?"

Queena's words slightly surprised Mango.

"What do you mean? She doesn't want to escape? Doesn't she want to go out and find Sisi? I can see that she really cares about Sisi."

"She is a mother. Because she cares about Sisi, that's why she couldn't see her."

Mango was completely confused.

Queena looked at her and whispered, "Think about it. What would you do if you saw me like Laney?"

Mango paused for a moment before continuing, "If I were Sisi, I would have killed Kolton and Marrisa if I knew the truth of my birth. Argh! How could I let them live after they had bullied and disfigured my mother?"

"Therefore, she won't let her daughter ruin her current happiness. You told her that Sisi is about to be a mother, and she also has her loving husband. Under such circumstances, how can she ruin her daughter's current peace and happiness? If I were Laney, I would use my own life to get rid of Kolton and Marrisa, completely putting an end to her worries."

Hearing Queena's words, Mango immediately understood.

"Laney intends to die together with Kolton and the others?"

"Yes, so she will probably use Marrisa to threaten Kolton."

Queena's analysis was not unreasonable, but Mango still felt that there was something puzzling about it.

But she didn't say anything.

Suddenly, Mango felt a little dizzy.

"Mom, what did you put in the porridge?"

Mango didn't want to suspect Queena, but she had to.

Queena looked at Mango with a hint of gentleness in her eyes. She said in a low voice, "It's something that will calm you down. Don't worry. It won't hurt you. You'll be more relaxed once you sleep. I'm also a mother like Laney. I also hope that you'll be fine. Don't blame me. It's more convenient for me to investigate things than you.

The most important thing that you need to do now is rest. Let me handle things for you first. If I can't handle it one day, then you'll have to face it on your own."

Queena's voice was gentle, but to Mango, it sounded as if she was speaking from somewhere far.

"Mom, don't go...you can't go."

She wanted to grab Queena, but she blacked out.

Queena saw her faint, so she lay her down covered her with the blanket before raising the temperature in the room.

She looked at Mango's sleeping face and felt a sharp pain in her chest.

She didn't have much time left.

These days, her pain was getting more intense. But to prevent Mango from finding out, she had to hold it in.

Right now, she was drenched in cold sweat.

Queena didn't know how long she could live, and she didn't know how many more days she had. But as long as she was able to live another day, she had to think of every possible way to get Mango out. Even if she couldn't do that, she had to let Nathaniel find out where Mango was.

She couldn't allow Mango to be in such a

dangerous place after her death.

What were Koiton's intentions?
