The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 991

"What?"

Rainie was still a little blurred out, so she was stunned when she heard what Mango had said.

Thus, Mango immediately gestured for Rainie to shut up. Then, she laid down and pretended to be asleep.

Mrs. Shen did not dare to raise her head when she came in. She held the broom and started sweeping the floor. Even though she did not expect Rainie to be here, she felt lucky because Nathaniel was currently out.

Meanwhile, Mango was still asleep.

Rainie regained her sense and sneered secretly. Then, she said faintly, "Hey, you! Come here and clean this table!"

Mrs. Shen hurried over immediately after hearing her words.

To be honest, Mrs. Shen had lived an easy life because of her husband. She had never done housework because she had a lot of servants that would do them for her. Furthermore, Mango and Nathaniel took care of them well, so she had never gone through many difficulties.

Thus, Mrs. Shen felt a bit uncomfortable now that Rainie was ordering her around.

She walked over but never dared to look at Mango and Rainie's eyes. Then, she lowered her head and got a cloth to wipe the table.

"Throw this away. I don't want to eat it anymore."

Rainie deliberately threw her food onto the ground.

Mrs. Shen paused for a while before squatting to pick the banana skin up unwillingly.

Rainie had eaten half the banana, so it was quite sticky. Mrs. Shen felt uncomfortable when she used her bare hands to touch the banana skin as she wasn't wearing any gloves. However, when she recalled the scene where Arsenio had been arrested, she controlled her emotions and threw the banana skin into the dustbin.

"Ahem, ahem."

Mango coughed.

After hearing this, Rainie quickly helped her to get up.

"Are you alright? Does your wound hurt? Gisella is an asshole for beating you so hard! Urgh! If I meet her, I won't let her run scot-free!"

Rainie's voice was loud, and Mrs. Shen could not help but pause after hearing it.

She glanced at Mango and saw the blood oozing out from her body. The reddish colour of the blood caught her eye immediately.

Mrs. Shen knew what Gisella did to Mango, but she always told herself that Gisella knew her own limits. Thus, she believed that Gisella was only dissatisfied with Mango and wanted to give her some light punishments. However, she couldn't calm down when she saw how pale and weak Mango looked.

She hesitated and struggled, not knowing what to do at all.

Mango glanced at Mrs. Shen and saw the reluctance in the latter's eyes.

She knew that Mrs. Shen still had feelings for her.

Mango felt that she could let Mr. Shen go if Mrs. Shen left here without pleading for mercy for Gisella. After all, they were her adopted parents, and they had a hard time raising her for so many years.

Rainie couldn't help but frown when she saw Mango looking at Mrs. Shen.

Urgh! Mango was too soft-hearted!

She tugged at Mango and whispered, "Are you in pain? Should I call the doctors for you?"

Rainie knew that Mrs. Shen wanted to spend some time alone with Mango, so she felt that she should allow them to do so.

Mango sighed and nodded in agreement without saying anything.

Rainie looked at Mrs. Shen and whispered, "Hey, quickly leave after you finish cleaning up. This is the ICU, so you shouldn't be staying here for such a long time."

Mrs. Shen nodded and did not say anything.

Mango suddenly felt an itch in her throat after Rainie left.

She coughed a few times and wanted to reach for the cup. However, she couldn't reach for it. Perhaps Rainie had put the cup far away from her on purpose.

Mango looked at Mrs. Shen and whispered, "Can you pass the cup over, please?"

Mrs. Shen paused for a moment. She didn't say anything, but she still walked over and passed the cup to Mango.

"Thank you."

Mango took the cup with a faint smile.

Mrs. Shen felt heartbroken when she saw Mango's pale face.

She really wanted to turn around and leave. How could she beg mercy for Gisella when the latter had hurt Mango to this extent? That would be too

heartless!

However, Gisella's face appeared in her mind when she wanted to leave.

After all, Gisella was her biological daughter!

She owed too much to Gisella these few years. Therefore, now that Gisella was finally back, why couldn't Mango bear with her for now?

Mrs. Shen no longer felt guilty towards Mango when she thought of this.

Mango had always been observing Mrs. Shen while she was drinking water. Thus, she became disappointed when she saw a trace of ruthlessness flash through Mrs. Shen's gaze.

Heh.

She had been stupid. Why did she bother having hope now?

A mocking smile appeared on Mango's lips.
