Chapter 1027
"I don't think it's a big deal. If you're really worried, stay overnight for observation in the hospital, and you can leave tomorrow," said the doctor.
Elise decided to admit herself for hospitalization. The doctor gave a brief explanation and left.
Soon after, Narissa and Ariel walked in.
"Oh my god, El. I haven't even gotten married yet, and you already have your third pregnancy!" Narissa stared at Elise's belly, feeling amazed.
"It's my second pregnancy. Irvin and Alexia are twins. They count as one," Elise explained with a smile.
"Oh, that's not important. What's important is that I'm going to have another goddaughter soon!" Narissa's eyes lit up.
"Why is it that both you and Alexander want girls?" Elise found it funny.
"Girls are soft and lovely. It's so nice to have one. If you have another child who is like Little Irvin, it'll be too boring," Narissa made a precise criticism.
It was true that Irvin had a somewhat cold personality and was not clingy.
"There's no such thing as a boring child. Irvin is independent and responsible. Among the children nowadays, how many have such strong opinions as he does?" Elise defended Irvin.
Narissa pouted but did not argue.
Despite her complaint, she still liked Irvin. After all, he took after Alexander's dangerously attractive face.
"Of course, a mother would say her child is the best," Ariel added with a sincere smile. "Congratulations."
"Thank you." Elise nodded. "Don't worry too much. Danny is a cat. A cat has nine lives. Nothing will happen to him."
"Does a cat have nine lives? Why have I never heard of it?" Narissa had little understanding of animals and proverbs. At this moment, she was confused.
"Yes. A cat has nine lives. For three he plays, for three he strays and for the last three he stays," Elise elaborated seriously.
"Don't you lie to me. How can a living thing on this earth have nine lives?" Narissa showed some intelligence, but she was still curious. "So, I really don't know why you said that. Ariel, do you know?"
Ariel's expression softened, giving Narissa a hint with another saying while holding back her laughter. "Come on, Elise. It's hard for the donkeys to win the race if they're going to carry the elephants on their backs."
"Can donkeys carry elephants? What's with the animal references?" Narissa found the two girlies funny.
She burst into laughter. But soon she thought of the stereotypes of a donkey, and she suddenly stopped and began tickling Elise. "Oh, El. How dare you make fun of my understanding skills? Let me teach you a lesson! And you, Ariel! You two!"
She only tickled Elise though. Elise laughed while dodging her attacks. In the end, she couldn't escape and pretended to be in pain. "Hey! It hurts!"
Finally, Ariel was amused. "I envy the friendship between you two."
Although Elise and Narissa were not biological sisters, they were close like sisters. But Ariel's half-sister hated her to the bone. It seemed that any relationship in this world was predetermined and could not be forced.
Elise smiled. "We are all friends. There's no need for envy. We should spend more time together and take care of each other."
"Tee-hee." Narissa took advantage of Elise's inattention and tickled her underarm. She then said to Ariel, "You're overthinking. It's not a mutual thing between us. Well, it's all thanks to my thick skin. El used to be very independent. If it weren't for me clinging to her, we wouldn't be this close now!"
Hearing this, Elise smiled bitterly, realizing that Irvin's inherited her lone wolf personality.
"So, can I cling to her too?" Ariel joked.
"I think it's doable." Narissa took it seriously. "Elise is capable, and she has the backing of Smit Co. We'll rely on her from now on!"
