Iris finished up her skincare routine (all Orchidia Beauty products, newly stocked and available online) and looked at her husband who was still observing her as if worried that she might suddenly collapse again. She gave him a reassuring smile.
They clasped their hands and walked the short distance to the nursery room together. Upon reaching their destination, they stopped at the door and didn't enter right away.
"Something wrong, love?" Jin Liwei asked.
She squeezed his hand. "I'm curious but I won't ask you anymore about the specific details of what my brother told you. Knowing him, the truth must have been many times worse than what he decided to tell you. I don't need to know everything about it. It's enough for me to know that all of our previous bodies had been desecrated after our deaths."
He raised her hand and kissed it, trying to transmit his own warmth and support to her through his lips. "Like I always tell you, I'll always stay right here beside you no matter what you decide to do. Just like what we vowed during our marriage, we are partners in life."
Her throat became choked with emotion. She nodded and leaned to him for a hug.
The door opened. Huang Yuyan was startled to find her son and daughter-in-law right outside the door. She pressed her hand over her chest.
"Hai, you too! You almost scared your old mother to death!" But right after scolding them, Huang Yuyan immediately pulled Iris and examined her all over. "Xiulan my dear, I was so worried about you! Are you really okay now?"
"Yes, Mother. Sorry to worry you."
"Don't mention it, my dear. Your health is more important."
"And also thank you for taking care of the twins, Mother. I heard that they gave you a hard time yesterday."
Huang Yuyan sighed but there was a doting smile on her face. "Indeed, my poor grandsons missed their mom so much that they didn't stop crying! That's why you need to take better care of your health, Xiulan. Your babies need you!"
"I understand, Mother."
Iris allowed her mother-in-law to pull her inside the nursery. Jin Liwei trailed behind them. The nannies greeted them before leaving so that the family could spend time together.

"Oh, my babies." Iris immediately went over to kiss her twins. Her eyes watered from missing her babies too much even if she had been gone from their side for only a day.
It was obvious that the babies missed her as well. The twins' vision had now improved and could now stare at people's faces at a close range.
Little Mochi couldn't stop smiling as soon as he saw his mother's face. The pacifier flew out of his mouth but he didn't care. He kept on waving his mittened hands and kicking his socked feet from excitement.
