Mango's mood wasn't very relaxed, but she had a thought when she looked at her youngest son's mischievous and cute appearance.
He fell asleep after he finished drinking his milk before Genevieve carried him to do a blood test. It was already morning after everything was done.
After Mango was released from isolation and inspection, news of her sons' birth quickly arrived in Ocean City. Soon after that, Terrance and Mateo planned to bring Priscilla over to visit Mango. Maverick also decided to fly his private plane to Santell Capital after Zion and his siblings begged him.
Lilian held her waist and said with some regret, "I really want to see the babies, but my body can't take it."
Maverick looked at Lilian's bulging belly and smiled gently.
"Don't worry. Mango will arrive by the time you finish your confinement period."
Lilian had been pregnant for five months. She thought that it would be very difficult for her to get pregnant, so she didn't expect that she would actually have a baby.
It was a pleasant surprise for Maverick, who was over thirty years old. He was afraid that his blood hex would affect his child, so he was constantly filled with fear.
Maverick was afraid that their child would be affected by the poison and he didn't want the child would suffer, so he strongly disagreed for Lilian to keep the child. However, Maverick finally compromised she threatened him with suicide and said that she would love her son even if he was disabled.
After Noah learned about it, he did a full- body examination on Lilian and paid attention to their child from time to time. Five months had passed and the child was very healthy. At present, there was nothing abnormal going on, so Maverick and Lilian could not help but cherish their child.
They had thought it through. With their current status, it would be alright even if they gave birth to a child with disabilities. In the worst- case scenario, they could exchange all their wealth for their child's health.
With this in mind, the two of them felt much more relaxed and Lilian's pregnancy also became much easier.
Zion was very happy. He hadn't seen his parents for a long time and he had two little brothers now, so he couldn't help but smile.
He couldn't make it too obvious even if he was happy.
Rita shouted happily and walked around while she hugged Zion.
"Zion, did you hear that? Mommy gave birth to two little babies and we're going to be their older siblings!"
Zion's lips curled up as he was infected by Rita's happiness.
Wisdom was also very happy.
"I wonder who they'll look like."
"They must be like Mommy."
Rita's words immediately stunned Zion and Wisdom, who asked in unison, "Why?"
"A son would most likely look like his mother and a daughter would look like her father. I heard this saying before."
Zion frowned slightly when he heard Rita's words.
"Them? Who are they? Children our age wouldn't have this kind of conversation, right? Rita, who have you been playing with?"
Rita immediately cowered the moment she heard Zion's serious voice.
"What are you talking about? Why are you so mean? Can you show some respect to my friend?"
"What kind of friend are you referring to? Where are they from and how old are they?"
Zion's questions gave Rita a headache.
"Oh, my stomach hurts. I'm going to the toilet."
Rita was about to escape when she heard Zion calmly say, "You're not going to see our little brothers, are you? We'll leave then."
"Zion!"
Rita was upset.
Who could control her domineering brother?
Wisdom bowed his head and pursed his lips while he smiled. Zion had been even more possessive over Rita this year.
"Wisdom, can't you do something about Zion?"
Rita saw that Wisdom was secretly laughing, and she could not help but stomp her feet.
Rita and Zion seemed to have reached an agreement this year, and they started referring to Wisdom as their big brother.
Wisdom coughed and said, "It's none of my business. You know, I used to treat Zion as my boss."
These words made Rita depressed. Before she could say anything, Wisdom continued, "Rita, I'm doing this for your own good. You're a girl, so you really shouldn't mix with random people."
Rita was completely defeated.
"Alright, I was wrong, okay? Let's go. I want to see my little brothers."
She said angrily in her mind, "I can't bully both of you because I'm an elder sister now. How can I bully the two little babies?"
However, she did not say that out loud.
A group of people came to the Santell Capital, but Brantley rushed to the hospital at once since he had been in the capital.
"Mango, Nathan, I heard that I have two great-grandsons. Let me have a look at them."
Brantley was very happy.
Mango couldn't help but stand up when she saw Brantley.
Nathaniel looked at Mango's worried expression and he couldn't help but hold her hand, "Don't worry, maybe we're just overthinking. You've just given birth, so don't think too much during this period of time."
"Yes, yes, Nathan is right. Even if there are any problems, I'm still here."
Brantley said with confidence.
Mango couldn't be fully happy because of her son's blue eyes. However, when she recalled that her children still needed her, she listened to Nathaniel and closed her eyes to rest.
Brantley called Nathaniel to go outside and whispered, "You'd better keep it a secret."
"Grandpa, this is the military hospital. Do you think we can keep it a secret? This is not Ocean City."
Nathaniel had already thought about this when he found out that his youngest son's eyes were blue. Unfortunately, this was the Santell Capital, so he couldn't make many decisions.
Brantley's face suddenly sank a little.
"Even if it is the military hospital, what will they do to my grandson?"
"We have to wait for the results."
Although he was a little disgusted with his two sons at the start, they were still the children that he and Mango had always hoped for. Since they were part of his bloodline, he wouldn't let anyone hurt his children, especially if the higher- ups wanted to run experiments on them.
He had decided that he would protect his two children even if he had to sacrifice everything.
Brantley also thought this way as well
Time passed slowly. Aside from feeding the child, Mango only needed to sleep and eat after that. She needed to recover her strength as soon as possible. Otherwise, she couldn't bear to watch her children get taken away if they were really in danger.
By the time Maverick and Terrance arrived, it was already late at night. After they learned about what happened with Mango's youngest son, the joy in their hearts was suppressed and they were all worried.
Maverick walked out of the hospital and lit a cigarette in the corner of the corridor. Nathaniel followed him.
"What do you want to do?"
Maverick looked at Nathaniel. He was a little surprised that Nathaniel would notice his thoughts, but there was no need to hide them from his own biological brother. He took a deep breath and said, "I intend to bring the Ye family to the capital just in case."
"No."
Nathaniel frowned slightly and whispered, "Your behaviour will make our superiors think that we want to rebel against them."
"What? It's possible if they really want to take your children away from you."
Maverick's evil smile made Nathaniel's heart tremble slightly. He suddenly remembered that Maverick was not a person who could be killed easily. Moreover, everything he did now was for his son.
Nathaniel's chest was filled with familial warmth and he whispered, "It feels really good to have a brother."
