1581 Mommy is Here
After speaking with the doctor, Jin Liwei and Iris' expressions became grave.
It seemed that Jin Liwei's eyes had lost all hope. Iris hugged his waist, trying to comfort her husband. He didn't reject her. His arms wrapped around her, and he hugged her tightly.
"The doctor says that Grandma Li still needs to undergo many tests," Iris whispered. "Maybe the prognosis will change and turn for the better."
"En." Although he made a sound of agreement, the tone wasn't optimistic.
Before leaving, the doctor told them that Grandma Li's condition appeared to be quickly deteriorating despite finally regaining consciousness. Of course, more tests were needed to ascertain her exact condition.
"Are you going to tell Mom and the others?" Iris asked.
Jin Liwei shook his head. "Let's wait until the test results come out."
She nodded while looking at the patient's room. "I don't think we'll be able to come home tonight after all. I don't like breaking promises to our children."
"I need to stay here, love. Grandpa Lu's old. My mother and brother aren't that reliable."
"I know."
"But you should go home tonight. The kids will be happy to see you even if I'm not there."
She looked at him, observing his face. His eyes were bloodshot. There were dark circles around his eyes. His skin tone looked dull. He hadn't shaved in the past two days.
Truth be told, if he weren't her husband, he wouldn't be able to physically attract her with the way he looked right now. But who told her to love this man?
Even when he looked exhausted and unkempt, she still felt the stirrings of attraction. Sighing, she rested her head on his chest.
She could hear the rhythmic beating of his heart. He looked quite pitiful. If possible, she wanted to stay with him at all times, but their children needed her.
In the end, she could only harden her resolve to be with their children instead of her husband. "I'll go home tonight."
"En." He kissed her forehead.
She looked at him. Her expression was full of warning. "You better take care of yourself or I'll have my big brother drag you home whether you like it or not."
At this moment, Lu Zihao entered the suite again. He managed to hear the last part of what she said.
"I'll take you home," he announced.
Jin Liwei looked relieved. "Thanks."
"I'm not doing it for you but for my sister's safety."
"I know. But still, thanks."
Lu Zihao snorted. Then his eyes automatically landed on Grandpa Lu who was still in the patient's room with Huang Yuyan and Jin Chonglin. "While I'm gone, have someone watch over the old man. Make sure he eats regular meals and gets enough sleep."
"En, don't worry. I'll personally check on Grandpa Lu if needed."
"Hm." Lu Zihao looked at his sister. "You ready?"
"Wait, Big Brother. I need to speak with the others first."
Iris went to say goodbye to Grandpa Lu and the others. Chen Fei looked like she wanted to say something.
"What is it?" Iris asked while organizing her bag.
Chen Fei sighed. "I'm tempted to go with you. I've had enough staying in the hospital to last me a lifetime. But I just can't leave my stupid idiot alone. What if he really parades in the street naked? Just thinking about it is enough to give me white hair!"
Iris chuckled. "Just stay here. Treat it as practice for when you need a maternity leave in the future."
Chen Fei rolled her eyes but surprisingly didn't retort. "Go on then. Kiss the kids for me."
Jin Liwei walked Iris and Lu Zihao down the underground parking lot. The bodyguards already secured the area to avoid any paparazzi and fans from seeing Iris Long.
"Remember what I told you," Iris said while standing on her tippy-toes to give the corner of Jin Liwei's mouth a kiss. "Take care of yourself while I'm gone."
"En. I'll call you."
Lu Zihao interrupted the husband and wife. "Hurry up, Evelinka. We have to leave now if you want to arrive home while the brats are still awake."
She glanced at her brother before hugging her husband's neck. Jin Liwei's arms wrapped around her waist. The two kissed each other.
Lu Zihao glared at them but couldn't do anything else. He was tempted to drag his sister away from her husband but managed to restrain himself. He could only snort and look away, pretending that the boring parking lot was interesting.
"I'm ready, Big Brother," Iris announced.
Finally.
19:48
Jin Liwei was reluctant to let his wife leave, even though he was the one who insisted on letting her go home to be with their children. It took everything in his power to let her go.
"Answer me when I call, love," he reminded her.
"Okay." She smiled at him.
