Dragon Palace Home #10.
Iris was focused on recovering from her injuries. Although she wanted to return to work as soon as possible, she also enjoyed spending quality time with Jin Liwei, their godson, cats, and the rest of their families who frequently visited her.
On the first three days after the bomb incident, Jin Liwei didn’t go to work and instead stayed with her at home. Iris felt a little worried, so she encouraged him to return to work, knowing how busy Jin Corporation was at the moment. He refused, insisting that he wanted to stay with her and personally take care of her. However, he couldn’t abandon the company just like that even for just a few days. Thus, he continued working at home.
Starting from the fourth day, Iris managed to persuade him that she was feeling much better. He would go to the company and work for half a day. Then in the afternoons, he would come home, eat lunch with her, before continuing to work while taking care of her.
A week after the bomb incident, Iris was in her bedroom suite with Yi Mei who just finished changing her bandages.
Her minor injuries already healed, including the one on her jaw. There was only a thin scab left. The major wounds on her neck and shoulder were still in the process of healing, but at least they were no longer as painful and swollen as before. Iris also felt better overall. However, dark blue and purple bruises still decorated her body. They were very noticeable on her pale skin. Jin Liwei always looked like he wanted to murder someone whenever he saw them.
Yi Mei started organizing the medical kit and discarding the used cottons and bandages. The old housekeeper had insisted on staying at the mansion to take care of Iris. Yi Mei took over treating Iris’ wounds and changing her bandages because the housekeeper wasn’t satisfied with Jin Liwei’s clumsy work.
"Sir Jin, the way you bandage Young Miss isn’t neat enough. Harmful bacteria might enter and infect the wounds," Yi Mei told him a few days ago.
Jin Liwei was unwilling at first because he wanted to personally take care of his baby girl but eventually handed over the task to the old housekeeper with great reluctance because he was afraid that her wounds might really become infected because of him.
"Thank you, Yi Mei," Iris said and stood up from the couch while carrying the lazy Ice Cream. Popcorn also jumped down and paced near her feet.
She was about to head outside the suite to walk around the mansion for a light exercise when the door opened, revealing the handsome Jin Liwei in his sharp business suit.
The hyperactive Popcorn shot like an orange cannon towards him while Ice Cream only meowed, too lazy to jump from her mommy’s arms to greet her daddy.
"Welcome back," Iris greeted him with a smile.
Jin Liwei’s cold expression thawed, returning his baby girl’s gentle smile, as he caught Popcorn who was meowing nonstop, asking to be petted.
"I’m home," he said when he reached her before giving a soft kiss on the lips. "How are you feling?"
"Much better."
He nodded, relieved. However, the concern in his eyes was still obvious.
