In another part of the mansion at the hospital wing, Iris opened her reddened eyes and finally seemed to have regained her full consciousness.
She turned her head to the side and saw her husband sleeping while sitting on a chair with his head on her bed. Their hands were clasped together. He looked so uncomfortable that it made her heart ache.
She shifted to take a closer look at him but her movement alerted him. He awoke with a start. His first concern was her condition as always.
"Love, how are you feeling?" he asked while already checking her temperature with the back of his hand.
She smiled. "I'm fine. How are the twins?"
He paused.
"You haven't checked on them?" she asked, frowning.
He didn't answer.
She sighed but didn't bother scolding him. She had already long known that she was her husband's first priority always. It was a good thing that they were both privileged to have trustworthy people who could watch over their babies in their stead. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com.

"Little Mochi and Little Matcha must be missing us, their mom and dad," she said. "Ketchup."
"Here, Mommy! The cute and mighty Ketchup is here! Meow~"
"How are your twin baby brothers?"
"Little Baby Mochi and Little Baby Matcha have been crying for almost the entire day! They only stop crying when they get tired or hungry. Oh, my poor baby brothers! Ketchup feels so sad for them! Meowuwuwu!"
Iris' heart ached after hearing how her twin babies missed her and their dad. Jin Liwei also looked pained.
"Go check on our babies first, darling," she told him.
"I don't want to leave you alone."
"I won't be alone. I have Ketchup and the doctor does regular checks on me. Please, darling. I'm fine now. Our babies need you more."
Jin Liwei's mouth pressed into a thin line but he still nodded.
"Thank you, Liwei."
He stroked her head. "Are you really okay?"
She knew that he wasn't asking about her physical condition but about her emotional state after what happened last night. The bombshell that her big brother dropped last night was too gigantic. She needed time to process it.
"Go check on our babies first," she could only say to her husband. "We'll…talk about the other thing later."
He studied her expression for a few more moments before nodding again. "Alright."
After he left, Dom soon came to replace him. Jin Liwei didn't want her to be alone for too long.
Dom's lively chatter made Iris temporarily forget about last night's shocking bombshell. The best friends chatted while Dom helped her eat some freshly cooked rice porridge.
Afterwards, Dom left the room to give her privacy while she pumped milk. The female doctor accompanied her instead while also checking her condition.
