The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 733

Chapter 733: NOT ENOUGH TIME TO GRIEVE (2)

Cane found Iris was sleeping with the baby next to her when he returned from a long and tiring day. There were a lot of things he had to take care of and many secret messages that he had to reply for the plan to keep going.

The world didn’t stop, even time didn’t slow down just because his life was ruined and his heart shattered for the death of his daughter. Everything kept on the same routine and if anything, it felt taxing and Cane was no longer feeling anything, he felt like he was only moving out of instinct.

The world was bleak.

On the single sofa next to the bed, Grace immediately woke up from her sleep, she stayed with Iris all day and night and Aliana did the same thing too. Hanna came to see Iris this afternoon, but she was sleeping throughout the day, only woke up when Rora was crying, which was not often, the baby didn’t make fuss and spent most of the time sleeping.

Iris also refused to let her baby was being breastfed by another woman. Della had volunteered to do it, seeing how much Iris was shaken up for losing her baby, it would let her take some time to rest and grieve properly, but Iris turned down the idea almost immediately.

Iris and Della gave birth on the same day, because Iris couldn’t bring her babies to full terms. _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}

"How is she?" Cane asked.

"The baby..." Grace started her explanation, but Cane cut her off.

"My mate."

"Oh..." Grace cleared her throat because she thought the alpha wanted to know about the baby’s condition first. "Luna is recovering, she will be fine within a week or two, but the problem is with her emotions..." The healer told Cane about what Aliana told her and some more. "It seems, the luna sometime forgot that her other baby didn’t make it..."

Somehow, Cane knew something like this might happen, remembering how Iris tended to forget something that hurt her. That was how she coped up. It would bother him if it reached to the point she forgot Crystal’s existence, which might happen in the future if she couldn’t deal with her grieve.

However, it was hard to decide whether it was better for her to forget and stop hurting, or to keep reminding her for something that hurt her.

"What about the baby?" Cane sat down carefully for not waking up the two of them. He stared at Iris’s sleeping face and then to his daughter. He put his finger under his baby’s chin to close her tiny mouth.

Grace’s expression became complicated. She tried to find a way to tell Cane about this in the most harmless way, but the alpha could already sense her trouble to explain thing to him.

"To put it simple, the baby has the same health like the luna before I nursed her health..." Grace than added. "But worse..."

The baby was born prematurely, not to mention she was exposed to black magic when she was born, even if Iris had purified it, but the damage had been done, though it didn’t cause sudden death like her twin, but Rora was not free from danger yet.

"I am afraid cot death can happen to her," Grace said in small voice, but it was loud enough for Cane, as his heart gave a start. Cot death was a sudden death for baby and based on Rora’s condition right now, the risk was pretty high.

"What solution you have?"

Grace looked even more trouble. "Aside from keeping an eye on her all the time, I don’t have another solution, alpha."

"What age you can say it’s safe for her?"

"Three years. If we kept nursing her health, I expected we can loosen up a little bit when she reached three years old, she would be the same like any baby at three years, but I can’t guarantee that too, because just like the luna, Rora is not really responsive to my healing power."

Cane fell into silent when he contemplated what Grace said. He stared at his little one, while deep in thought.

"You will move to the luna’s bedroom, I will ask someone to arrange that tomorrow."

The closer room to this room was the luna’s bedroom, since there were only two rooms along this corridor, though it was a little bit out of norm to move Grace to the luna’s bedroom and it could be misunderstood as her became Cane’s mistress, but Cane would deal with that rumor harshly if there was someone dare enough to make a peep about it.

"Thank you, alpha, but..." Grace understood the severity of the situation, but there was something she wanted Cane to know, since she was sure, he had not yet informed about this. "Kaz and Maria have prepared the luna’s bedroom as the nursery room, maybe you want..."

"Someone will rearrange the room," Cane cut her off simply. He didn’t need to see the nursery room that he didn’t ask for.
