Chapter 870
It was just their guess initially, but the two of them went silent after seeing the picture sent by
Thomas.
"I guess we''ll have to ask Pryce about this."
Mango was stunned for a few moments before she said this.
"Yea, I''ll go."
Nathaniel took a deep breath.
In fact, Nathaniel cherished his siblings very much and he loved Nick to the core of his being in the
past. Now that he found that he had another younger brother, he wouldn''t have attacked him if it
weren''t for being so outrageous.
At this point, Nathaniel felt really upset and crestfallen deep down as many incidents were
attributable to Pryce and his uncle''s doings. It was a dreadful and tough situation having to stand
against one''s own family members.
So, Mango patted his hand and said softly, "I can go if you feel uneasy."
"No, you shouldn''t worry about it as you are pregnant now, so just take a good rest while I''ll
investigate this matter."
"Alright."
Mango did not argue with him and she nodded her head gently as if she was not the one who had
beaten the driver up just now.
Nathaniel stayed with Mango for a while before leaving and Mango knew that he was going to look
for Pryce.
She leaned against the edge of the bed with her eyes narrowed as she was wondering what was
the meaning behind the poppy flower?
Nathaniel''s uncle had fought for the Ye family''s wealth in the past, but why did he return now that
Nathaniel''s status was basically untouchable?
Did he think that he coulde back and certainly take over the Ye family''s property just because
Nathaniel was his biological son?
However, what did this have to do with the Blu family then?
Mango couldn''t figure out their intentions no matter how hard she tried.
Soon, she had a headache and decided not to think about it anymore as the truth would be
revealed sooner orter, so she could just wait and see what would happen.

It was right at this moment that she received a message about the preliminary round of her design
competition. Mango nced at it and skimmed through the important reminders before she put her
phone down.
Later, Zion wanted to go to the hospital to visit Rita and Wisdom, so Mango made some food for
him and they headed for the hospital.
Wisdom seemed to be unaware of his physical condition as he was chattering and having a good
time with Rita.
Mango felt really heartbroken when she saw Wisdom''s behavior.
"Wisdom, I made some sweet and sour pork ribs as it''s your favorite. You can''t eat greasy food, so
just have a bite, alright?"
Mango walked in with a smile.
Wisdom was especially happy to see Mango and Zion in the hospital.
"Okay, I''ll do whatever you say."
Rita was originally a foodie yet she surprisingly did not fight for food this time. It seemed as if this
incident had made her more mature.
Mango ced the thermos sk on top of the cab.
On the other hand, Zion walked over and hugged Wisdom as he said in a low voice, "Wisdom, I''ll
protect you in the future." "You said that when we first met too, but don''t worry as I''m your brother
and I can protect you."
Wisdom withdrew himself from Zion''s embrace. Later, Zion became tearful when he saw the sincere
expression in Wisdom''s eyes.
"Wisdom, I''m leaving tomorrow and I may not be able to wee you home."
At that instant, Mango was stunned.
Zion was leaving?
How did she not know about it?
"Zion, when did you decide it? Howe I have no idea about this?"
"Mommy, I have already promised Mateo that I''ll leave tomorrow as the military base is urging me to
go back. After this, I might onlye home every Saturday and I must return by Sunday noon.
However, you must tell me if something happens at home."
Zion had thought about it for a long time before he made this decision.
He was now the only person in the Ye family who was fully in good health, so he must improve his
skills now so that he could protect his brother and sister.
Wisdom was a little envious and he said in a low voice, "I could have gone with you and you''ll have
apanion if I''m not injured..."
Zion and Mango were stunned for a moment and Mango turned her head away at that instant.
However, Zion smiled and said, "Wisdom, we can''t be in the army together. Aren''t you learning
about medicine from Bettany now? You could also just take over thepany of our family too as
I''ll probably not manage it for the rest of my life. If you don''t do so, daddy will be extremely
exhausted from his work and mommy probably wouldn''t be happy about it too, isn''t it?"
Mango red at him as she smiled.
Wisdom was a little surprised and he said immediately, "I don''t want to take over the Ye family''s
business and I just want to be a doctor... You shoulde back and take over it instead."
"I don''t want that as I see my future in the military area. Wisdom, don''t refuse it as I''m not interested
in business affairs at all as you know, and I''ll be really miserable if I were to take over ourpany.
I''d rather live carefreely outside themercial world."
Wisdom was stunned when he heard Zion''s words.
"But..."
"No buts about it and it''s a deal. I won''t be at home, so please take good care of mommy and
sister..."
Zion smiled heartily.
Then, Wisdom finally nodded seeing how happy he was.
"Alright, I''ll take care of them at home."
As Mango looked at her two sons, she felt as if they were getting matured all of a sudden as they
seemed so youthful.
They were much more mature than the peers of their age as they had experienced many hardships.
On the other hand, Rita kept quiet all this while and Mango wasn''t used to it at all.
"Rita, I made some sweet and sour pork ribs, why don''t you try one?"
Mango was about to feed her a piece of pork.
However, Rita shook her head and said, "Let''s leave them all for Wisdom. I''ll let him eat my portion
of meat as well so that he''ll be strong and healthy in the future."
Wisdom smiled very brightly at that instant.
"It''s okay as I''ll just eat one piece. Rita, you should have some as I like watching you eat and it''s
really appetizing. I won''t have the appetite if you don''t eat."
Then, Rita immediately asked upon hearing Wisdom''s words, "Really?"
"Of course! I won''t eat either if you don''t, so why don''t each of us eat a piece?"
"Alright."
Rita reached out her hands in an instant.
Mango felt really relieved as she saw how obedient Rita was to Wisdom.
Later, Zion and Mango stayed here for a while before she left with Zion.
She wasn''t afraid that they would be in danger since Sisi was here.
In the car, Zion pondered for a long time before he spoke.
"Mommy, would you me me?"
"Hm? Why would I?"
Mango felt really secured and assured as she looked at her son.
However, Zion bit his lower lip and said, "I have to leave for the military region all of a sudden,
wouldn''t you me me?"
"Why would I do so? I''m really happy that you have your own dreams and ambitions, so why should
I be angry at you?"
Zion let out a sigh of relief upon hearing Mango''s words.
He leaned against Mango like a spoiled child and said with a smile, "Mommy, I''ll be really
proud if you treat me so well."
"It''s okay, you have the right to be proud. However, have you really thought it through to give up our
family business?"
Nathaniel had already made up his mind on this matter, but Mango still wanted to hear Zion''s
opinion.
Zion nodded solemnly and said, "I''ve decided and I want to fulfill my own dreams. Wisdom got
injured because of Rita and although he might recover in the future, he might not bepletely
healthy again. However, no one would dare bully him if he bes an influential person in Ocean
City and this is also what Rita owes to him."
Mango felt relieved when she heard Zion''s thoughts, but she caressed Zion''s head and said in a
gentle voice, "You don''t owe each other anything as you are brothers and if you have such
thoughts, you are not treating him as your real brother. I know that you''re doing this for his own
good, but don''t say such words anymore in the future If Wisdom needs your help, you shouldn''t
reject him, do you understand?"
"Got it."
Mango looked at Zion with pity as she felt that she didn''t spend much time with him although she
returned to the country. Now, he would be going back to the military base the next day and he would
have to abide by a soldier''s routine, where Mango could only see him once a week.
Mango''s heart was filled with sadness and reluctance to part with Zion at the thought of this.
"You like to y games, don''t you?"
Zion paused for a moment as Mango brought this up all of a sudden.
"I''ve always liked ying games. Mommy, you don''t want to y a game with me, do you?"
"Why can''t I? I don''t want to y mobile games with you though, how about we go to the arcade
and have some fun there? I''m sure I wouldn''t lose to you if we do that."
Mango was bad at ying mobile games as her typing speed was really too slow, so Zion would
probably look down on her if she yed such games with him.
However, she had always yed in the arcade since she was a child and it was really different from
mobile games.
Zion noticed from Mango''s eyes that she was determined to challenge him, so he said with a smile,"
Alright, I''ll go with whatever you say."
"That''s a deal, you can''t cry if I win."
"Mommy, it''s still hard to tell who will be the winner or the loser..."
Zion was brimming with confidence.
Mango curled her lips and she drove Zion to the arcade nearby.
Many of the people here were youths and no mother would bring their own son here to y with
them.
Later, the worker gave them some game coins.
Zion and Mango then skimmed through the area to see what games were avable. Then, Zion
asked with a smile, "Mommy, what do you want to y?"
"What about boxing king?"
"Alright."
Zion didn''t hesitate at all.
Then, Mango walked over confidently and she started the game with Zion after putting in the coins.
She thought that she''d be able to beat Zion, yet her scores were falling behind after two rounds of
games.
At that moment, Mango was crestfallen.
"Have you evere here to y secretly without letting me know?"
"No, I swear I didn''t and it''s my first time ying."
Mango couldn''t believe what Zion said.
"First time? Are you kidding me? I''ve been ying this for more than twenty years yet I can''t beat
you?"
"I''m telling the truth, mommy. Some people are born with high IQs and I can''t do anything about it!"
Mango was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
Was Zion really her biological son?
He was so outstanding!
"Let''s go, well y something else."
Mango didn''t believe that she couldn''t beat a child in terms of games.
So, Zion went along with Mango with a smile on his face. However, Zion was able to grasp the tricks
of the games within two rounds as soon as he started ying, regardless of the type of the game.
He could soon beat Mango easily every single time.
At that moment, Mango waspletely downhearted.
However, everyone in the arcade became really interested in them and they started cheering for
Zion because of his outstanding game skills.
Mango felt really happy yet dispirited at the same time.
Just then, a young man came over to them.
"Hey, kid, let''s y one round and the loser will have to bark while crawling out of this arcadeter
on, what do you think? Are you up for the challenge?"
