Nathan didn't care much about Thomas's expression now. In his heart, Zion had completely replaced everything, anything.
"Mr. Ye, how to deal with the confidential leaks?"
Thomas finally regained his composure. He seemed hesitating: according to the original plan, he wanted to solve it through the police. Now it seemed impossible and unbelievable.
Nathan lowered his head and pondered for a while before saying, "Apply for the patents of the leaked technology, making them useless for whomever acquired them. It doesn't matter how much it costs, just do it quick. For those that can not be copyrighted immediately, try your best to minimize the loss. As for the rest that can not be protected, just lose them. The Ye Family doesn't lack money. If Zion did this, I'll take it as his practice."
Listening to Nathan's unconcerned tone, Thomas broke out in a cold sweat.
If Zion was really Nathan's son, could the Ye Family hold on for a few days because of Mr. Ye's attitude of loving his son so much?
Of course, Thomas didn't dare to ask that. He quickly left to do what Nathan had told him.
After Thomas left, Nathan was anxious and wished he could know Zion's birth identity right now. He ran to the bedroom again and looked at Mango's pregnancy test. He felt delighted no matter how he looked at it.
Mango didn't know what Nathan was thinking at this time. She was having a happy meal on the bed with Zion and Rainie.
"Mom, I heard that you are what you eat. That's why I specially asked Aunt Blu to buy the thigh bone. Please eat more."
Zion put the thigh bone into Mango's bowl and looked at her eagerly.
Mango touched his head and said with relief, "It's better to have a son."
"Yes, I'm mom's mink coat."
Zion said happily.
"Yes, you are Mommy's mink coat and Rita is Mommy's cotton jacket."
Mango's casual words made Zion a little depressed.
"Mom\, I miss my sister. Can I video-call her?"
At this time, the time difference in the United States was okay. Mango looked at her son like this and suddenly felt a little worried. In recent years, Zion had been taking care of Rita. This time, he left because he was worried about her coming to the Ocean City alone. In fact, he still missed Rita.
"Yes, but don't take too long, ok?"
"Got it."
Zion happily took the phone and sent a video directly.
It didn't take long before Rita's beautiful face to show up on the phone. "Brother!"
The crisp and pleasant voice sounded like jade beads fell into a porcelain plate, which also made Zion's lips slightly raised.
"Did you take the medicine obediently today? Did you listen to the doctor?"
"Of course. I'm so obedient. Brother, when will you come back? Is Ocean City fun? Have you gone out with Mom? Remember to take some photos for me"
Although she was sick, she was very cheerful. The most important thing was that her bright smile really made people reluctant to part with her.
Zion said with a smile, "I just arrived in Ocean City and started school. I haven't had time to go out yet. When I get back, I'll go to the zoo, the botanical garden, and take photos of your favorite animals and plants, okay?"
"Good! Brother, you're the best!"
She said happily, but there was some loneliness in her eyes.
"Zion, it would be great if I could go there myself. I heard that Ocean City is a very beautiful city, but unfortunately, I have never left the United States. How do you think about my illness, can it be cured?"
Rita's words made Zion frown slightly and whispered, "Definitely, trust me. When you recover, I will take you to any place you want, okay?"
"Deal, let's make a pinky promise!"
Rita stretched out her little finger and wanted to hook with Zion through the screen. Zion also put his finger on it, but his eyes were full of tears, and he resisted it all the time.
Mango suddenly felt that all the food had lost taste.
"Let's go back after Mom and I finished our business here. If you miss us, send us a video. Make sure you listen to our godfather, okay?"
"Got it. Are you also in the hospital? Why did I see the IV bottle?"
Rita got sharp eyes. After a while, she frowned and looked worried.
Mango smiled and said, "It's okay. Mommy has a cold. It's just not acclimatized. She will be fine soon."
"Then mommy needs to take medicine obediently and listen to the doctor. Although the injection is a little painful, it will soon make you feel better."
She said like a little adult, but once again tore the hearts of Mango and Zion.
"Don't worry. I'm with Mommy. Nothing will happen. I won't let anyone hurt Mommy."
"Well, I believe in you, you are the best brother!"
Zion was very satisfied with his sister's love.
"It's getting late. You should go to bed now. We are getting back to eat."
"Okay, brother, goodbye, mom."
After she hung up the video, Mango could no longer hold back her tears and covered her mouth.
Rainie Blu patted her back and comforted her, "Everything will be fine. I believe that God will not be so cruel. They are so young and lovely. Everything will be fine."
"It's my fault, it's all my fault. It was I who failed to protect Rita well. If I had been able to protect the children at that time, she wouldn't have stayed in the hospital since she was born. I knew better than anyone that Rita was envious of those healthy children. She barely even left the hospital for over four years."
"Well, Mango, blame that bastard Nathan. It has nothing to do with you. You have tried your best. If it was your fault, your only fault would just be loving the wrong man. Now you are a mother. You have to be strong for the sake of your children, don't you?"
Rainie Blu made Mango nod heavily.
Yes.
