You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 504

After a series of security checks, Demi was finally able to enter the castle with her hands empty. Cali was changing Van's diaper while Don slept soundly in the crib.

"Hey, Cali. Count Nangong asked me to pick the children up and take them to the hospital."

"Good afternoon, Demi. All right. Hold on for a minute. I'm almost done here." After changing Van's diaper, Cali held him up in her arms. She turned to Demi and said, "Can you call Count Nangong? My hands are a little full."

"All right." It was only then that Demi realized that she left her handbag at the hospital with her phone inside. "I'm sorry, Cali. I left my handbag at the hospital. My phone's in there."

"It's okay. Just use mine. It's on the table." Cali nodded toward her phone. "Let me unlock it for you."

Demi walked over to the table and took the phone. She then held it in front of Cali's face and then it beeped open. Demi dialed Vicente's number, and turned on the phone's speaker.

"Cali?"

"Count Nangong, it's Demi."

"Demi, have you arrived at the castle?"

"Yes. Cali just wants to make sure that you sent me to pick up the twins and take them to the hospital," Demi said respectfully.

"Yes, Cali. Come here with Demi and the babies. Remember to put the bracelets on them before you leave."

Cali immediately replied, "Yes, sir."

After that, Demi hung up the phone and said with a smile, "Do you believe me now?"

Cali smiled sheepishly and said politely, "Yes. I hope you don't mind. I'm just following rules."

"It's all right. The children's safety is very important. Everyone should emulate your commitment to your job." Demi smiled back.

Still carrying Van in her arms, Cali walked over to the dresser and took out a box from one of the drawers. Inside was a pair of small bracelets made with pure gold, each of which had a little bell on it. The patterns on it were very exquisite.

Cali carefully set Van on the bed and put one of the bracelets on him. Every move Van made with his little hand set off the bell. Then, Cali put the other one on Don who was still peacefully sleeping in the crib.

Staring at the bracelets, Demi asked, "What are those bracelets for?"

"These bracelets are..." Cali trailed off and then cleared her throat. She continued, "The count and the princess had them especially made for the twins. They designed them themselves. They just arrived yesterday. Maybe the count just wants to see if they fit the twins nicely."

"Oh, I see. I didn't know Count Nangong and Princess Nina have such good eyes for design. Those bracelets look amazing," Demi replied with a smile on her face, but she was thinking about something else.

Vicente had especially instructed Cali to put the bracelets on the children before leaving. They must be rigged with something, so Demi had to be careful.

After a few moments, Don finally stirred awake. Cali put the boy on her back. When she was about to pick up Van, Demi said, "Let me carry Van. It's too tired to take care of both the twins."

"Okay. Van has finally fallen asleep. Be careful not to wake him up." Cali straightened Van's swaddling cloth. "Turn this corner inward. It will block the light for him, and he can sleep better."

Part of the swaddling cloth that Cali propped up did cover Van's little face. Van smacked his small mouth twice, and a little bubble of spit tumbled out of his cute lips.

"Oh, my, he's so cute. He's like a little fish spitting bubbles." Demi's heart almost melted upon nestling little Van in her arms.

Cali smiled and said, "They can't swallow their saliva yet, so sometimes, it comes out as bubbles especially when they're asleep."

"That's so cute."

"Well, they're really cute when they're asleep. When they wake up and start crying, it is a different story, and it's very difficult to calm them down. It seems that they can feel that they're away from the princess. Sometimes, they cry all night. I feel so sorry for them."

"Wow. You must be exhausted from taking care of them."

"Yes, but I don't mind. It's the job, and I love the twins."

Demi replied with concern, "You can rest in the car on the way to the hospital. I'll wake you up when we're there."

"No, I'm fine."

"You need to rest. Don't worry. I'll keep an eye on the twins."

Cali smiled at Demi as they walked out of the castle. Vicente's car was parked on the roadside, surrounded by a group of bodyguards.
