Chapter 393: Good news and bad news together

Outside Nana’s ward, Jinhai was deadly calm. Jian and Nian fell asleep in his arms, exhausted with all the crying. Liang Xiao Dan offered to take them as his arms could become numb, soon carrying them for long, but he declined her help.

“No need, mother-in-law. I want to hold them.”

She slowly nodded. She knew that something about the twin’s cries at that time shook him from within.

In fact, it shook the others too.

Even when they realized what the twins said while crying, they were shocked without any doubt.

A month old baby couldn’t say something like Mama or Dada. Babies usually speak Ma and Da or along those lines when they are around six months old. But Jian and Nian did.

How did they understand to call their father for help, seeing their mother in danger? How did they figure that out?

They could only conclude that perhaps they were way too intelligent and observing for their age. They learned and understood things faster than any other child.

Jinhai looked down at his sleeping twins, whose cheeks were still slightly stained with tears.

‘DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA…’

‘DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA…DAAAAAAAAAAA…’

Their loud cries echoed in his ears over and over again.

I am sorry…I am sorry that I couldn’t come sooner…I am sorry that Mama is hurt because of me. It’s all my fault. Will you forgive Dada?

Jinhai was cold and expressionless, but at that moment, his eyes turned sore. He knew he wouldn’t get an answer from them, but they suddenly woke up and stared at him.

Jinhai slightly raised his brows in surprise. He was now convinced that something was extraordinary with them.

Liu Hai and Liu Chunhua and the Liang family looked in wonder. They were sleeping so peacefully, but now they woke up. Perhaps Jinhai was thinking something, and as if they understood, they opened their eyes.

“Boooo…” Jian tugged his shirt and smiled at him.

It was as if he was telling him that it was not his fault.

“Boooo-” *cough cough*

Nian coughed as he spoke, and he furrowed his little brows.

Jinhai got alert.

“Is he sick?” Liu Chunhua anxiously asked.

“Oh dear, he must have caught a cold.” Grandma Liu said.

Liu Hai immediately took out his phone. “I will call a pediatrician.”

A few minutes later, the pediatrician from the second floor came and checked on the twins. He carefully took their pulse and thoroughly did all the check-up. He pulled out his stethoscope.

Jinhai quickly asked, “What happened?”

“Liu Jian is fine though Liu Nian’s throat is sore.”

“Is it cold?” Liu Chunhua asked.

He shook his head. “It’s not cold. Did he scream or cry very loudly recently?

They froze.

Jinhai narrowed his eyes and quietly nodded.

The doctor said, “It is because of that. His tonsils are red, and I checked his throat is a bit swollen. He would have a little difficulty in crying in the next few days. His throat would hurt if he tried to speak. I am giving this mild syrup medicine. The medicine is specially made for babies. Feed him twice a day. The medicine will work, but it would still take a few days for him to recover.”

He left after giving them a few more instructions.

Jinhai said, “Leave me alone.”

The elders looked at each other, and they sighed. They softly closed the door behind them.

Nian was tugging and playing with Jian. Jinhai softly smiled and tickled Nian’s belly. He softly giggled.

The twins grabbed his finger and looked at them with their watery eyes. They looked earnest and serious.

“Are you consoling me that Nana will be okay?”

“Baaaa…babaa..”

Nian smiled. “Boooo…*cough*.”

Jinhai kissed their foreheads. “Yes, she will. Mama will be alright.”

Then his gaze turned cold and dark as a sign of an impending storm.

“Mama and you two did your best in fighting them. You protected your Mama. Now, it’s Dada’s turn.”

“Sir, it’s me.” Xin knocked on the door.

“Hm.”

Xin could feel the icy winds even from outside the room. His menacing and bloodthirsty aura surrounded the entire place.

“Sir, I checked the footage. Two people, a man, and a woman disguised as servants entered the ladies’ room. They ran away just before you and young master Chen reached there. When I clarified their images, I recognized them as Tang Ning and Tang Feng.”

Silence. The only sound Xin heard was that of the ticking clock.

“Xin.”

“Yes, sir.”

“I want them in an hour.”

It was an ultimatum. Jinhai’s tone was sharp, crisp, and to the point.

Xin nodded. He understood his unsaid words. If he couldn’t find them, then he would better kiss his job goodbye.

“Yes, sir!”

“Leave.”

Not wasting a second further, Xin dashed out to find the whereabouts of the Tangs.

Huo Xiao Fan felt as if they were waiting for the surgery to get over forever.

She wanted Serena to be alive and safe, and so she agreed with Jianyu’s decision to choose her over the child. But if the child is gone, then she would die anyway. For a mother who carries her child for nine months to be gone just like that…, her heart would be lifeless and empty.

The gynecologist came out.

Jianyu quickly asked, “W-what happened? How is she?”

The doctor smiled. “Its good news, Mr. Chen. We were able to save both the mother and the child. Congratulations. It’s a boy.”

Jianyu was dumbfounded.

Serena and our baby are both alive…?

“Jianyu! Congratulations!” Chen Liling laughed with a tearful gaze and hugged him.

Huo Xiao Fan felt as if a huge mountain lifted off her shoulders.

“Xiao Fan. Our daughter is safe! We are grandparents now.”

Huo Shen was excited and hugged her in a tight embrace. Liwei was over the moon.

“I am an Uncle now!”

Everyone was happy, but the doctor was still grim. “I am happy for you, Mr. Chen, but…”

“But?”

“There is something else you should know.”

Jianyu cautiously asked, “What?”

The doctor said, “The surgery was successful, but the complications have still negatively affected Miss Serena. In the future…it is not impossible, but there are high chances that she wouldn’t be able to become a mother again.”
