Chapter 222
Thus, everyone was stunned by Andrea's words.
Obviously, Mango's expression was darkened significantly.
Nathaniel was her husband, but now someone else had announced her intention to pursue him in front of Mango, and that caused Mango's face darkened.
"Miss Yu, I think you might have made a mistake."
"It's none of your business if I have made a mistake. Mango, I really didn't expect that you could have such good fortune. Anyway, I like this man and I don't care what relationship you have with him. From now on, I will pursue him!"
Truthfully, Andrea's words were very aggressive.
Rita burst into tears the moment she heard that.
"You wicked woman, daddy is mine! You're not allowed to snatch daddy away from me!"
She hugged Nathaniel tightly and she bore only ill-will towards Andrea who had suddenly appeared.
Then, Andrea looked at her coldly and she said, "I'm not taking you away, what are you nervous about? Don't worry, I have no interest in you."
With a loud cry, Rita started to sob.
"Daddy, I don't like this nasty woman. Chase her away!"
Then, Rita hugged Nathaniel and she cried loudly. With that, Nathaniel's expression turned ghast.
"Miss Yu, please leave!"
"I haven't finished talking to Mango yet. I..."
"Get out!"
Nathaniel's voice suddenly deepened, and the atmosphere in the room became tensed and pressured. At that, Wisdom could not help but tremble.
It was so scary!
Daddy’s original personality was back again!
Then, he subconsciously took Mango's hand.
Nevertheless, Mango was also a little scared.
In fact, it was rare for Nathaniel to completely lose his cool, but Andrea had indeed crossed the line.
Rita was their treasure, and not only had Andrea treated Rita like this, but she had declared war on Mango. Moreover, Andrea wanted to take Nathaniel away, which was absolutely intolerable.
Naturally, Andrea was shocked.
In fact, no one dared talk to her like this since she was a child. However, she just flinched for a moment, and then she said with great excitement, "Wow, you are so manly! I like it!"
Then, Mango's face darkened again.
"Miss Yu, if you have anything to say to me, we can talk outside."
Next, Mango took Andrea's hand and she coerced Andrea out of the room.
Meanwhile, Wisdom was afraid that something would happen to Mango. Hence, he wanted to follow her but Mango pushed him back into the room.
Meanwhile, Rita sobbed
despondently. Nathaniel could not help Mango even if he wanted to, and he crouched down to console Rita.
After being dragged out by Mango, Andrea flung her hand away.
"Don't touch me! You phony woman!"
Thus, Mango felt that her good intentions had been shortchanged.
If Mango did not sympathize with Andrea’ s disfigured face, she wouldn’t have given her Master Yan’s address. Who knew that Andrea would act like this? At that moment, Mango felt that she might have gotten too nosy.
"No matter what you think, I gave you the real address and number. If Master Yan is not treating your face, then that’s at her own discretion. I’ve nothing more to say to you, and from now on let’s just pretend that we don’t know each other."
After that, Mango turned around and she left.
However, Andrea stopped her.
"What do you mean? You chased me halfway across the hospital and you regarded me as a fu*king suspect. Did you do all this on purpose? Tell me, were you watching me this whole time and try to trip me up?"
Upon hearing that, Mango was puzzled by Andrea's words. "Andrea, I don't know what kind of person you really are, but as I said earlier, I really wanted to help you so I told you about Master Yan. How would I know why she won’t help you?"
"Cut the crap. If that’s true, then how about you call her now? If she recognizes you, then I’ll never bother you again."
Andrea's words annoyed Mango, but she figured that she had nothing to be afraid of. Then, she took out her phone and called Master Yan.
However, when she dialed the familiar number, it was engaged. In the end, no one answered at all. When Mango called again, the other party immediately hung up.
It seemed that this Master Yan was simply not the one that Mango knew!
How could this be?
Andrea looked at her with a sneer and she said, "How about now? Are you still pretending? I thought that you were a good person, but you're just a phony b*tch. You must have cast some sort of spell on Nathaniel to make him stay together with you. Don't think you can own him just because you bore him a child. I'm telling you, I, Andrea Yu, can have any man that I want. After I get my face features fixed, you’ll see what I’m capable of!"
After she said that, Andrea turned around and she left. She shoulder- checked Mango hard as she passed by.
Mango almost fell, but Andrea left with a sneer.
Mango was very angry at Andrea's provocation, but she felt that something was off in her mind. Why didn't Master Yan answer her phone?
Had something happened to Master Yan?
At the thought of this possibility, Mango became anxious.
Over the past five years, Master Yan had been her teacher and close friend, and she had also helped her to restore her appearance. Hence, Mango would never forget her kindness.
Now, it was impossible for Master Yan not to answer her call unless something had happened.
But what could have happened to her?
All of a sudden, Mango thought of Abyss.
Abyss had introduced Master Yan to her. Although Mango had a good relationship with Master Yan over the past five years, Master Yan was close with Abyss as well.
Now that Master Yan did not answer her phone, she wanted to call Abyss immediately to ask him about it. However, the phone in her hand felt so heavy now.
In truth, she hadn’t figured out how to face Abyss since their situation had come to this point.
She knew about the conflict between Nathaniel and Abyss, but she would rather be ignorant about it. Mango didn't want to care or ask about it, and she could just let them fight it out on their own.
After all, Abyss had done such terrible things to Rita, so Nathaniel had the right to do whatever he wished to him. But for Mango, she still could not deny the fact that Abyss had saved her life. This contradictory feeling made her wonder whether she should call Abyss or not.
In the midst of her struggle, Mango called Master Yan several more times but no one answered.
She was getting increasingly uneasy.
As she thought of the disappearance of her parents, Mango could not overcome her anxiety. So, she dialed the familiar number.
After the dial tone rang several times, the other side picked up.
"This is Abyss Tang."
Abyss's familiar voice sounded in Mango's ears. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
His voice was gruff as always, but it carried a hint of loneliness.
Mango felt sorry for him and she whispered, "It's me, Mango."
"So, you finally remembered to call me? Or did you call on behalf of Nathaniel to ask me to give up?"
Abyss was not too surprised to hear Mango's voice, as if he knew that the number was hers.
Needless to say, Mango was in a bad mood. Now that Abyss asked her this and she did not know what to answer.
As Rita's mother, she was furious at what Abyss had done to Rita. However, Abyss had saved her life once. Although they were two different matters, what could she do with such a tedious situation?
Mango took a deep breath and she said, "Abyss, I think something has happened to Master Yan. I called her but no one answered. Can you go and see if she's okay?"
"You still have time to worry about Master Yan? What's wrong? Did Nathaniel continue to imprison you after I've done the same? Don’t you even have the right to go out now? Or should I say that Master Yan is also utterly unimportant like me? Of course, who could compete with Nathaniel's position in your heart? Obviously, no price is too high to pay for Nathaniel, right?"
Abyss's words were prickly, which made Mango uncomfortable.
"Why do you have to say things so harshly?"
"Harsh? Although I did imprison you, Mango, didn't I save you from the Fallen Paradise? How do you think you would have ended up if it weren't for me? If I wasn't there five years ago, how could you still be here with Nathaniel to plot against me?"
"I never did that!"
Mango was anxious as she was questioned by Abyss.
"I didn't plot against you together with Nathaniel!"
"Really? If you didn't, then why would Nathaniel ask for you from the Tang family after he rescued you? Do you know that he has cracked down on my family’s business? Of course, you know, but Mango, you haven't done a thing at all, haven't you? You just stood by and you watched as Nathaniel tries to destroy me and my family. Is this how you repay me? Hmm?"
Abyss was obviously very agitated.
At first, Mango was reluctant to say this, but when she heard what Abyss said, she whispered, "Don't you know why I did what I did? You saved me five years ago, and I thought you were my benefactor so I took you as a friend! I even thought you were the world's most perfect man. But why did you have to do that to Rita? She's just a child! How could she withstand the morphine? Without your scheming, Rita might not have turned out like this. If you loved me, why can't you love my daughter as well?"
"Was I not good for her? Mango, didn't I pay for her medical treatment over the past five years? You know that she had congenital kidney issues, and even if you were to treat her, she wouldn't live long anyway. Why do you think I want to hurt Rita? That's because I know that if she's still alive, her
presence will cause you to just run back into Nathaniel's arms! You know how I feel about you, but you went back home for the sake of Rita, didn't you? I just wanted to keep you by my side. If Rita was as healthy as Zion, why would I treat her like that? And I'm just trying to ease her pain."
"That's enough!"
Mango felt like she never really knew Abyss at all.
How could he say these things so nonchalantly?
How could he say that he was doing this for Mango’ s own good after he had done such a cruel thing?
"If my happiness costs me my daughter's life, then I'd rather not have it! Abyss, I'm not worthy of you, I already said that ages ago. You deserve a better woman, so why do you..." "Are my efforts refundable? If they are, then let me know. Master Mango, teach me how to be as cruel and heartless as you!" Abyss's words stunned Mango right there and then.
