"And I'm going to repeat how I responded to you back then, too," Jin Liwei said. "I'm only saying what's in my heart. I'm glad that my words make you feel better."
Iris pressed their foreheads together. Their hot breaths intermingled but they didn't kiss. They stayed in this position, soothing each other and basking in the gravity of their love.
After they left the music room, Iris busied herself with taking care of the twins. Jin Liwei continued to worry about her emotional state especially after what happened earlier but felt relieved upon seeing that she seemed to have returned to normal.
But later that night, Iris suddenly fell sick and burned with high fever. She became disoriented and unable to respond to him properly.
Jin Liwei panicked and carried his wife from their bedroom to the hospital wing in a rush. The nannies were called to watch over the twins.
This commotion couldn't be hidden.
The others were already sleeping but Lu Zihao quickly learned about what happened from Bacon. He left his sleeping wife in bed and rushed to the hospital wing. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]
"What the hell happened?" he demanded as soon as he entered the room where his sister was staying.
Jin Liwei gestured for him to be quiet.
Lu Zihao stood by his sister's bedside and studied her.
She was flushed from the fever. Sweat beaded on her forehead and neck. Her breathing was shallow and faster than normal. There was also a furrow between her brows, an obvious indication of her discomfort even when she was already asleep. One of her pale, delicate arms was hooked to an IV bag.
Jin Liwei updated his brother-in-law about his wife's condition. "Evelina already received a shot to reduce her fever. She'll get another injection in a few hours if her condition doesn't improve."
Lu Zihao stroked his sister's burning forehead. His big, rough and scarred hand was very gentle. He frowned. "She's still so hot."
"I know but her temperature is already going down. She was burning hotter before I brought her here."
Lu Zihao stared at Jin Liwei with a hard expression. "I heard that you managed to buy Evelinka's piano back and surprised her with it earlier today. Tell me what happened."
"Alright. Let's talk outside."
The two men left the room but stayed in the hallway outside so that they could still rush inside if Iris woke up.
"Now speak," Lu Zihao said as leaned against the wall and rubbed the Smoking Devil between his fingers.
Sighing, he finally told Lu Zihao about everything that happened earlier when he surprised his wife with the grand piano. He also told his brother-in-law about how Evelina died while playing Beethoven's "Für Elise" as enemies gunned her to death. Of course, he could only repeat what his wife told him since he didn't witness the horrifying scene with his own eyes.
