The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 297

On the other hand, Walter didn't care much for Charlotte's whining. Instead, he was quite impressed with her.

This woman actually had the audacity to spit on him!

Charlotte cursed madly at him in her heart, yet she couldn't say anything.

What did this b*stard want to do to her?

Then, Walter brought Charlotte to the columbarium deep inside the cemetery and flung her onto the floor.

The cold floor made Charlotte shudder involuntarily.

Then, she looked up to see the many urns around her and it frightened her so much that she became pale with shock.

"Mmmm..."

She kept shaking her head at Walter.

However, Walter said with a smile, "Do you really think that you can escape unscathed after you provoked me? Let me tell you, if it weren't for the fact that you're Mango's best friend, I would have beaten you up so badly that even your parents wouldn't be able to identify you."

"You f*cking son of a b*tch!"

Charlotte glared angrily at him as she cursed Walter in her heart.

Walter seemed to know what she was saying, but he didn't seem to care at all and he teased, "I forgot to tell you, the custodian is on leave today so there isn't going to be anyone here until

tomorrow. See, I'm being so nice to you. I didn't hit you nor did I yell at you, plus I even found some people to accompany you throughout the night. All right, I'll have someone pick you up in the morning. Have fun!"

After that, Walter got up and left.

Then, Charlotte completely panicked.

What did he mean?

Was this b*stard going to leave her here alone?

He wouldn't do that, right?

Charlotte struggled hard, but unfortunately, Walter had bound and gagged her. Hence, she became so hysterical that she started to cry, but Walter did not have an ounce of pity for her.

It didn't matter how pitiful she looked, Walter didn't want to help her at all. Furthermore, Walter had always thought that Charlotte was a domineering woman.

Would a woman like her be afraid of a cemetery?

Of course not!

Walter was satisfied with his own justifications and he left the cemetery soon after.

Meanwhile, Charlotte was extremely pissed off. If she knew that she would get herself into this mess, she wouldn't have come out in the first place.

The wind gradually became stronger as fear gripped Rainie's body.

"Boohoo!"

Who was going to save her?

However, no one had any idea about the situation she was in, and Zion, the main culprit behind her predicament, had already entered Rita's ward. He was quite overjoyed to see his sister.

"Brother!"

Rita cried out happily, but Zion quickly shushed her.

"Shh—"

He put a finger on his lips to signal Rita to be quiet before he gently tiptoed to the room where Mango was resting. Then, he felt very distressed when he saw her swollen face.

How was that the result of a cosmetic allergy?

Zion was full of suspicions as he walked out of the room.

Then, Rita grabbed his arm happily and said, "Zion, did you get anything nice for me?"

She couldn't help but be disappointed when she saw Zion empty-handed as she was far too bored in the hospital.

Then, Zion took out a small game console from his pocket and gave it to Rita.

"Here, I designed it myself. Let's see how many levels you can clear in this game."

"Is this for me?"

"Of course!"

Hence, Zion couldn't help but show his unconditional love for Rita.

Rita lay on the bed and she happily began to play the game.

After that, Zion looked around as he felt that there must be something that was making his mother unhappy.

Mommy wasn't a person who liked to dress up, and she didn't use much makeup even when she attended the award ceremony. So, why would she apply makeup while she was in the hospital?

Zion thought about this for a moment before he asked Rita nonchalantly.

"Rita, who else is admitted in this hospital aside from you?"

"An auntie is also warded here. I heard from grandma that she donated the kidney to me. Furthermore, grandma wanted to take that auntie in as her goddaughter, but I'm not sure if they really went through with it or not."

She replied Zion rather off-handedly as she wasn't listening too closely, but Zion was far more alert than her.

Then, Zion frowned.

"Where is this auntie staying?"

"Room 315, it's not too far away from here.”

Zion's eyes narrowed as Rita said that.

"Did Mommy go and see her before this?"

"I think she has. When grandma came to see me, Mommy had visited that auntie before she left to get and some apples for me. When she came back, she already had makeup on her face, but

grandma said that Mommy got an allergic reaction to the makeup. Brother Zion, do you think that Mommy's face will have a scar?"

Rita finally lifted her head from the game console and she looked at Zion worriedly.

"I don't think so. Well, you can keep playing the game on your own, I have to be out for a minute."

Then, Rita pouted at Zion's words.

"Didn't you come to visit me? Where are you going?"

"I'm going to the bathroom."

Next, Zion replied nonchalantly.

Rita pointed to the bathroom in the ward and said, "There's one right here."

"I'm used to using the public restroom."

"Huh?"

Rita had never known that Zion had such a habit, so she was rather surprised.

Meanwhile, Zion didn't feel like explaining anything to her and he stroked her head before he said, "Be a good girl and play the games, okay? I'll only be out for a moment."

"Okay, hurry up then."

"Alright!"

Zion smiled in response before he got up and left the ward.

Room 315, right?

He wanted to see who was the selfless individual that was willing to donate their kidney to his sister.

It was fine if they sincerely donated the kidney, but Zion's gaze darkened at the thought that the donor might have done it in order to hurt his Mommy.

His small frame did not attract much attention as he walked along the corridor.

Soon, Zion arrived at the door of Eddie's room.

He knocked on the door and he heard the nurse's reply.

"Who is it?"

Next, Zion opened the door and poked his small head inside to look.

"I'm sorry, but I wanted to ask if this was room 316?"

His voice was purposefully soft and lilting, plus he was rather charming. Hence, the nurse took a second glance at him before she replied but Eddie cut in with a look of disdain on her face. "Are you blind? This is room 315. Didn't your parents teach you how to count? Get out! Don't disturb me!"

Then, Zion suddenly burst into tears.

"Why do you have to be so fierce to me?"

"What?! Don't come in here and disturb me! Hurry up and get lost! I'm really pissed off right now!"

Eddie was in great pain and she had asked for painkillers from the doctor, but the doctor said that he could only prescribe a dosage that would last her two days. If not, it would end up harming Edolie's body, so she had no choice but to bear with the pain. Furthermore, she was rather upset when she heard that Madam Ye did not argue with Mango.

She had been putting on an act for so long, and she even donated her kidney. Alas, Mango's position in the Ye Family hadn't been affected at all, so Edolie felt like she'd lost somehow.

Just as she was upset, this little kid came in and it annoyed her to no end.

Judging from Edolie's current attitude, he didn't feel like this heartless woman would willingly donate her kidney to save his sister.

However, Zion did not make a fuss and he stepped out of the room for a moment before he came in once more. Then, he spoke in a pitiful voice, "Sister, there's no one in room 316, so can I wait here for my Mommy?" Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"No!"

Edolie had no sympathy for him at all.

She had been an orphan since she was a child, and she'd had it much worse than Zion. But when did anyone ever sympathize with her? When did anyone give her the warmth that she craved?

Now, what obligation did she have to show kindness to this little brat?

Meanwhile, the nurse couldn't bear it any longer and she spoke her mind.

"Miss Edolie, this child is also quite pitiful. Perhaps his parents have left for a moment and they'll be back soon. How about you let him wait here? I'll make sure that he doesn't bother you."

At that, Edolie's face suddenly darkened.

"You'll make sure that he doesn't bother me? Even looking at him pisses me off, so how do you plan on keeping him from bothering me? Furthermore, who is he anyway? Why do I have to let him stay in my room? I'm not running a charity here."

The nurse was rather annoyed by Eddie's words and she replied, "Didn't you donate a kidney to Miss Rita? Since you've done such a great deed, can't you just let this kid wait here for a few minutes?"

"Can you compare him to Rita? Who is Rita? She's Nathaniel's daughter and the beloved child of the man who rules Ocean City! Once I donated my kidney to her, Nathaniel and the entire Ye Family will have to repay my kindness towards them. Who is this little brat anyway? Do you know him? Shut up if you don't know anything. You're just an employee here, and you have no right to lecture me."

Clearly, Edolie's words were very unpleasant.

The nurse became quite fed up with her attitude.

"Miss Edolie, this is a VIP room, so whoever stays on this floor must be quite affluent. Hence, this little boy might be the son of a rich family as well."

"So what? Are they richer than the Ye Family? Are they more powerful than Nathaniel? Not even Mango Shen is worth my time, so why do you think I should care about anyone else? Don't you know that the matriarch of the Ye Family wants me to be her goddaughter? Hence, I will be in control of Ocean City soon. If you refuse to get him out of here, you can get lost too!"

Edolie's words were clearly heard by Zion, who stood in the corner of the ward.

Moreover, he clearly heard Edolie's statement when she admitted that Mango wasn't worth her time.

Sure enough, there was something fishy behind Mommy's 'allergic reaction'!

Then, Zion gave the nurse an aggrieved look and he said, "Auntie, it's all right. You don't have to say anymore, I'll leave right now."

"I'll go with you to keep you company!"

The nurse was fed up with Eddie's attitude and she got up to follow Zion out of the ward.

Meanwhile, Eddie was furious that a nurse dared to treat her like this so she picked up the cup beside her and threw it at the nurse.

"Get out and don't come back! You're fired! Let me tell you, one word from me and you won't be paid today, you understand?"

The hot water splashed on the nurse's back and the cup smashed hard into it as well.

Then, the nurse paused for a moment and she replied angrily, "With your reckless and b*tchy behaviour, I'd rather not work for you anymore!"

After that, she took Zion's hand and walked out of the ward.

Edolie was so livid that she smashed everything around her, and the room was filled with the noise of items breaking.

Edolie might have accidentally pulled on her wound and she let out a cry of pain, which made the nurse pause for a moment.

Although the nurse didn't want the money, she couldn't just watch as Edolie injured herself.

Just as the nurse was about to turn around and check on the Edolie, Zion suddenly pulled on her hand and asked pitifully, "Auntie, I need to pee. Can you take me to the bathroom?"
