The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

"So, you've been thinking about these."

"What else can it be? Do you think that I don't want to have my wife by my side right at this moment? Honestly, I don't wish anyone to see me in such a pathetic state, especially Mango. I hope that she sees me as the strong and mighty Nathaniel Ye. Moreover, it'll be worth that if I can divert the attention of the enemy to keep her and the children safe."

Nathaniel sighed, and he looked at Noah before saying, "I do know that you want to follow me. But Noah, I'm very grateful for what you've done for me. You can't get involved with our family affairs. The only people I'm worried about are Mango and the children, as well as my family. So, please watch over them when I'm not there. Up till now, I haven't found the mastermind yet, and it is beyond my power to do so a this moment. So, I'm afraid they will attack Mango, so..."

"I understand what you mean. I'll let Genevieve go over. They are women, so it is much easier for them to talk." "Thank you." Nathaniel patted on Noah's shoulder.

Sometimes, best buddies understood each other without talking much.

"You must come back safely. It is easy to control the toxic within your body, it just depends on your determination."

"I know."

Nathaniel separated from Noah, and he headed straight to the plane.

Noah was still anxious while watching the plane took off.

After Mango hung up the phone, she didn't hesitate and directly called Terrance.

Terrance was excited as he did not expect Mango to call him.

"Mango, what's the matter? Is everything alright?"

Terrance asked in a low voice and he quickly put down the job in his hand.

The Ye family was still aiming at the Hans family, but the pressure was reduced compared to the initial stage. Terrance also had some time to rest. Mango was slightly emotional after hearing Terrance's voice.

She said in a low voice, "Mr. Hans, I have something to tell you, but it is up to you to believe me or not." "You can tell me what you want. I'll believe whatever you say." Terrance just needed Mango to call him willingly.

He wasn't used to being addressed politely by Mango. But what could he do? This was all Madam Hans's fault. Hence, he should pay the debt of his mother's mistakes.

Mango didn't expect Terrance to have such a reply. She had a mixed feeling for a while, but she still said in a low voice, "Madam Hans was being poisoned by someone with heroin instead of being unwell. I jus found out about this matter. It seems like Andrea obtained this item from John through Susie. So, I think this is the reason why Madam Hans is weak. Yet, I'm not certain either. After all, there's no evidence, but you should keep an eye on it. There's nothing else I could say. You don't have to tell Madam Hans about this, as she would think that I'm causing discord again. I won't get myself involved in the affair of the Hans family anymore, so everything that happens after this has nothing to do with me. That's all, goodbye."

Afterward, Mango hung up the phone immediately.

Mango finally let out a sigh of relief after she had finished what she wanted to say.

Finally, she could do what she wanted peacefully now.

Terrance was shocked at that revelation, but Mango had hung up the phone when he wanted to ask her some questions.

However, he was terrified now.

So, Andrea dared to do such things to Madam Hans?

Madam Hans was getting older, and her health was not that good compared to the past. If what Mango said was true, then the consequences would be unimaginable. Terrance called Noah hurriedly.

"Noah, are you busy? Can I invite you to come to my house and check my mother's health again?"

Noah was slightly surprised by Terrance's words.

He looked at the plane that already took off and he said in a low voice, "I was just about to tell you about this. I'm afraid that something is wrong with Madam Han's health." "What's the problem?"

Terrance's palms were sweating nervously.

Noah said in a low voice, "I suspect that she was being poisoned, causing her to be weak. I can't guarantee that, but it looks like it is based on her condition. If you have the time, bring her to the hospital for a blood test."

Terrance suddenly felt his hands and feet turn cold.

He wasn't quite sure yet when Mango told him about it. But now, he believed the words by Noah.

"Okay, I'll take my mother to the hospital right away."

Terrance hung up the phone immediately and he arranged for someone to send him home.

When he reached home, Andrea was feeding Madam Hans a bowl of porridge.

He stepped forward before knocking over the bowl in Andrea's hand.

"Ah! Uncle, what are you doing?"

Terrance slapped Andrea and she was caught off guard. The whole bowl of hot porridge was spilled on her body which made Andrea jumped up instantly. Seeing how Terrance behaved, Madam Hans couldn't help but said angrily, "What are you doing! Why are you being so mad? Who has provoked you again?"

Terrance ignored Madam Hans. He grabbed Andrea's hand before saying, "What did you give to my mother?"

"It's bird's nest porridge. I cooked it myself. What's wrong?"

Andrea was still afraid of Terrance.

Terrance sneered, "Is that so? Is there anything else that is added into it?"

Andrea's eyes flashed in an instant.

"Uncle, what are you talking about? I don't understand. What else can I add into the bird's nest porridge?"

"Terrance, let go of Andrea and let's have a proper conversation. You are scaring her now. Plus, Andrea took care of me when I was sick. So what's wrong with you? Why did you treat Andrea in such a manner as soon as you got home? Did anyone say something to you?"

Terrance's heart was filled with anger when he saw how his mother defended Andrea.

"Mom, I'm afraid you're not aware that you're being harmed."

Terrance said to the servant beside him angrily, "Find a plastic bag to pack the bird's nest porridge! I will bring Madam to the hospital for a checkup. I would like to see what makes her sick these days." Andrea's face turned pale as a paper immediately upon hearing what Terrance had said.

'Grandma, please save me!"

Andrea burst into tears.

Madam Hans was panicking.

"Terrance, this is not Andrea's fault. I asked her to do this, so blame me if you want to! I don't want to go to Santell Capital and I don't want to live in a nursing home! I'm the widow and the mother of a martyr! I'm old, yet you are sending me to a nursing home far away. How can you be so cruel?"

Madam Hans thought that Terrance was furious because the latter found out that she was pretending to be ill all this while.

Andrea did give her something to drink, saying that it was some medication that would weaken her. For the past two days, Madam Hans had been drinking and she was afraid that Terrance would discover it. Upon hearing Terrance's words, Madam Hans knew that she couldn't hide it anymore. Yet, she didn't want Terrace to blame Andrea. So, Madam Hans chose to take responsibility instead.

Terrance looked at her in shock.

"Mom, do you know what you are talking about? When did I want to send you to a nursing home?"

"Aren't you going to send me to a nursing home at Santell Capital? There's no one left in the Santell Capital. So, why are you sending me there?"

Madam Hans was getting furious as she spoke.

"How did I give birth to such a disappointing thing like you!"

Terrance looked at his mother and he said sadly, "The reason I'm taking you to the capital is to participate in the military alliance. The people in the capital appreciate the hard work of the Hans family, and they would like you to go over to give a speech. You made a big scene some time ago, so I decided to let you go on leave for a few days. Who said that I'm sending you to the nursing home?"

Madam Hans was stunned immediately.

"What? Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Did you give me a chance to speak it to you? You were ill the moment I asked you to go to Santell Capital, so how am I supposed to tell you? In the end, I can only postpone everything at Santell Capital. Recently there are too many things going on for the Hans family. Can you please don't give me more trouble?"

Terrance felt a slight headache when seeing Madam Hans's behavior.

There was a saying that elders tended to act childish sometimes. Yet, why didn't Madam Hans acted like a child?

Madam Hans suddenly felt a little guilty.

"I did this because I'm afraid that you'll be bewitched by somebody!"

"Bewitched by who? What about you then? Let me ask you. Who told you that I'm sending you to the nursing home? Is it Andrea?"

Terrance looked directly at Andrea.

Andrea was afraid now.

"No, Uncle. I don't know why you want Grandma to go to Santell Capital, so I'm just guessing."

"Guess? Look at what you've done after you came to the Hans family! Are you bringing any benefits to the Hans family? Because of you, Mango had a fallout with my mother. You even drugged your Grandma when the Hans Family is facing difficulties. What's in the drug? You dare to tell Grandma about it!"

Terrance chided him harshly.

Andrea's body was shaking, which made Madam Hans's heart ache.

"Terrance, it's all my fault. I misunderstood it. Don't blame Andrea, she did it for me. I promise you that I won't have it anymore."

"You won't have it anymore? Do you know what is the drug? Did Andrea ever tell you what she gave you?"

Terrance wondered what had happened to Madam Hans.

How could she be deceived by Andrea?

Andrea tried to dodge the stare. She tried to break free from Terrance's accusation, but to no avail.

"Uncle, I only gave Grandma some medication to make her weak. It is not harmful to her health, and I swear I'm talking the truth!" "Really? Then let's take the medication and Grandma to the hospital for a test. I hope you will stick to your truth by that time."

With a cold face, Terrance ordered people to tie Andrea up while asking his servant to pack the bird's nest porridge at the same time.

"Mom, you have been defending Andrea all the time. You always think that she is nice while treating you wholeheartedly. So you dare to go to the hospital with me now? Let's have a blood test and find out wha she gave you all this while!"

Looking at how serious Terrance was asking her, Madam Hans was stunned for a while. She looked at Andrea, only to realize that the latter was looking away.

At that moment, Madam Hans felt a sudden squeeze in her heart.

"Andrea, what have you been giving me all this time?"
