Du Xixi felt soreness all over her body, especially below the waist and abdomen. Even the slightest movement caused unbearable pain. In such a situation, Du Xixi naturally needed Ke Lian’s help to sit up smoothly.
Ke Lian obediently raised the bed board and placed the soft pillow cushion behind Du Xixi, allowing her to sit comfortably on the hospital bed. He then handed her a cup of warm water, speaking in a gentle tone, "Dad and Your Majesty are next door watching the kids. I’ll first have Doctor Mo come in to check your body. Once you’re feeling better, I’ll bring the children over."
Yiyi and Er Er still couldn’t see the world clearly. They only knew they were little bubble-blowing babies lying on the small bed. They were remarkably well-behaved from birth, and except for a few cries at the beginning to prove they weren’t mute, they peacefully lay and slept, occasionally grunting in discomfort when their grandpa and uncle jostled them.
These two well-behaved children wouldn’t disturb Du Xixi’s rest when sleeping in her hospital room. But Ke Lian felt that Du Xixi should not be disturbed now, so he decisively "sent" his twin sons to the next room.
Only when Yiyi and Er Er needed to come to Du Xixi for breast milk did Ke Lian reluctantly let them in. Naturally, it was Ke Lian, who was always on the verge of turning jealous, who carried them to Du Xixi for feeding!
This might suggest that Ke Lian was somewhat indifferent to his sons. Initially, people were surprised, but later, they found it understandable.
After all, Ke Lian cared most about Du Xixi.
Du Xixi blinked, feeling as if she had slept for a long time. In reality, she felt quite rejuvenated. However, the soreness was unbearable. She nodded, signaling Ke Lian to call Doctor Mo in.
Doctor Mo maintained her familiar, efficient demeanor. She conducted a thorough examination of Du Xixi and used an intelligent scanner to scan her entire body.
"Madam’s body is recovering well." Doctor Mo raised her eyebrow, expressing some surprise. But she quickly returned to her usual calm demeanor, "Even though your body’s Self-healing Ability is strong, Madam, you mustn’t be complacent. If there’s anything unusual with the postpartum discharge or if the pain becomes unbearable, call me at any time. I’ll be here at the hospital."
Doctor Mo was notoriously responsible. She hadn’t left the military hospital since two weeks before Du Xixi’s due date, taking care of her living needs within the hospital. Even after Du Xixi gave birth, Doctor Mo wouldn’t leave until Du Xixi was discharged.
Du Xixi gave Doctor Mo a heartfelt smile, expressing deep gratitude, "Thank you for taking so much trouble, Doctor Mo."
"Just doing my duty. No need to thank me, Madam." Doctor Mo coughed and nodded at Du Xixi and Ke Lian before turning to leave the room, kindly closing the door behind her.
Ke Lian sat on the chair beside the bed, tightly holding Du Xixi’s hands. Seeing the sparkle in Du Xixi’s eyes without any signs of fatigue, he leaned closer and softly asked, "Should I go bring the babies over? You haven’t seen them yet."
Of course, Du Xixi wanted to see her children. This was her first time having children after living two lifetimes, so how could she not be eager?
Thus, she nodded emphatically at Ke Lian. However, seeing him already standing ready to fetch the kids, Du Xixi hesitated before adding, "If they’re sleeping, let them be, don’t wake them up."
Du Xixi didn’t want her kids to be disturbed from resting. However, the "heartless" Ke Lian chuckled softly, not stopping his steps, "At their age, they mostly want to sleep. It’s not unusual for them to sleep more than a dozen hours a day. You don’t need to be so cautious."
As his words ended, Du Xixi watched Ke Lian leave the room, shyly sticking her little red tongue out. Lacking experience, how could she know that newborns sleep so much?
Moreover... Du Xixi was used to taking afternoon naps herself. Judging by the sunlight outside, it was afternoon, and before childbirth, Du Xixi would have been soundly asleep at this time! ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelFɪre.net
Ke Lian quickly returned with the children, along with Ke Xing and Chen Yin. However, 2569 and Rob didn’t seem to be in the military hospital, or they would have come along too.
