The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 927

"What's wrong?"

Brantley saw that Mango was frightened and quickly grabbed the phone.

"It is okay... I'm fine."

Mango smiled in embarrassment.

To be honest, no one had the mood to answer the phone. But since the phone rang, Brantley couldn't pretend that he didn't hear it. He took a deep breath and answered the phone.

Mango didn't know who was calling at the other end of the line, but she saw Brantley's expression changing.

"Grandpa, what happened?"

Mango asked in a hurry.

Brantley's face turned hard, but he whispered, "Bettany just called and said that your mother's medical report is out. She doesn't have cancer."

"What?"

Mango's became agitated.

"How could this be? Didn't Bettany say it was stomach cancer before? How could it not be cancer now?"

Brantley shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. She asked us to see her if we had the time. But I'm not feeling well these days. I think you and Nathan could go after the meal. Although your mother is gone, we still need to figure out her illness."

"All right. Nathan and I will go and have a look."

Mango immediately agreed.

When Nathaniel came out, he saw Mango and Brantley didn't look too good and thought that they were still in grief. He couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, Mango, since things have gone this far, we have to learn how to look forward, right? Furthermore, I believe that mother doesn't want you two to become like this."

Mango nodded.

Brantley did not speak, but his eyes had explained everything.

Nathaniel quickly filled Brantley's bowl with soup.

"Grandpa, it's not good for you to eat rice these days. Drink some soup first to warm your stomach and then eat."

"Okay."

Brantley nodded before picking up the bowl and chopstick then began to eat.

Before Mango could move, Nathaniel had already brought over food that was suitable for a pregnant woman. He had prepared this beforehand.

"I found the recipe on the internet, so I'm not really sure how it tastes. Eat some, and I'll practice hard later."

Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango's heart immediately burned with passion.

"It's okay. I think it's good enough."

She smiled faintly and ate all the food in front of her. Although she did not taste anything, she still ate it thoroughly to comfort Nathaniel.

Nathaniel's heart ached as he saw Mango acting this way, but he did not say anything.

He really hoped that his wife could spend every day happily, instead of being filled with danger and sadness like now.

After Mango finished eating, Brantley also finished eating as well.

He looked at Mango and Nathaniel and said in a low voice, "You guys go ahead. I want to be alone for a while."

"Grandpa..."

Mango was afraid that he would do something stupid, but Nathaniel grabbed her arm.

"Let's leave him alone for a bit."

After that, he walked out of Brantley's house with Mango.

Mango had been very quiet ever since she came out.

Nathaniel knew that she was in a bad mood and did not know what to say. When he passed by a store, he muttered, "I heard that women go eating and shopping when they are in a bad mood. Why don't you go shopping? You see, we still have a baby in your belly, but we haven't prepared anything yet. Why don't we go to the baby store and buy something for the baby?"

Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango was slightly taken aback before nodding.

"All right, I really didn't prepare anything. I don't know if it's a boy or a girl in my belly."

"It's useful to prepare for both of them, isn't it?"

"That's right."

Mango nodded and walked into the store with Nathaniel.

There were really a lot of things here. When Mango saw the cute clothes for babies, her mood calmed down a little bit.

She picked up the baby clothes and looked at it. Then, she could not help but smile.

"These clothes are so small! Can a baby wear them?"

Nathaniel asked doubtfully.

Mango smiled and said, "Haha! A newborn baby isn't that big."

"Really? I've never seen one."

Mango felt a little sad when he heard Nathaniel's words.

"When Zion and Rita were first born, they were twins. But I didn't eat anything good in my body, so they weren't healthy enough. When they were first born, they were as big as kittens, like this."

Mango gestured as she spoke.

A trace of heartache could be seen in his eyes.

"Alas! You and our children have suffered too much because of me..."

"We are fine, especially Rita. When she was born, she stayed in the incubator for more than half a month. The doctor gave us multiple notices of critical illnesses. At that point, I really couldn't hold on anymore."

Mango's eyes were filled with tears as she spoke about the past.

"As the saying goes, one doesn't understand a parents' hard work if they don't have children. I really know how tough it was to be a mother. When my mother was pregnant with me, she also felt the same way. She only chose to give me away because she wanted to protect me. There are fathers in this world who don't love their children, but there are absolutely no mothers who did that. Not everyone can bear the pain of being pregnant for ten months before giving birth. They'll never forget about those times the rest of their life..."

"Are you feeling better?"

"I think yeah..."

Mango leaned back in the chair tiredly. She listened to Nathaniel's music and felt very comfortable. In fact, she felt so comfortable that she couldn't open her eyes.

By the time Nathaniel heard Mango's even breathing, she had already fallen asleep leaning against the back of the chair.

He shook his head. He knew that Mango was exhausted, but he felt that he had an enjoyable time shopping. In fact, he had a good time shopping with Mango today!

Nathaniel carried Mango to the back seat and laid her down. After finding someone to drive them home, he carried Mango in his arms all the way.

After arriving home, Nathaniel carried Mango into the Ye's Mansion.

Hearing the sound, Laney hurried out.

"The meal is ready. Are you eating now?"

Nathaniel glanced at them. Obviously, everyone was waiting for them.

He smiled and said, "There's no need. She's asleep and tired. When she wakes up, I'll cook for her. You guys can eat first. Don't wait for us in the future."

"How can we do that? We always have to eat together!"

Laney's words touched Nathaniel slightly.

"Okay, well try our best in the future. You can eat first today, but I'm sorry that we can't join you guys. By the way, Mango bought some children's clothes today, and she brought one for Sisi as well. Ask Newell to go to the garage and get it later. I'm not sure if it's suitable for Sisi. But, it's a gift from Mango."

Hearing Nathaniel's words, Sisi was suddenly moved.

"No, I should've done these things for Mango because she's my sister-in-law! How can I let her do these for me?"

"It's okay. She's in a bad mood these days. She went shopping to relax and relieve the pressure. Well then, we'll go up now."

After Nathaniel finished speaking, he carried Mango into the bedroom.

Laney looked at their backs and whispered, "They're really nice."

"Nathaniel and Mango have been treating us very well."

Sisi helped Laney to the kitchen.

Nathaniel placed Mango on the bed and looked at her sleeping face with a gentle smile. Then, he went to the bathroom and fetched a basin of hot water for her. He placed her feet in hot water and gently washed them.

Mango muttered something under her breath, but it was unclear. She then immediately laid down on the bed and continued her dreams.

Nathaniel washed her feet and poured out the water. Then he pulled the blankets over her.

Just then, the sound of a car engine came from outside.

Nathaniel slightly frowned.

The sound of the car engine was familiar. But it was already late at night. Could it be something urgent had happened?
