As Hazel and Edith were still chatting in the room, the door swung open and there were the sounds of footsteps coming in.

"Sister!" Hailey called the moment she saw Hazel in the room. The girl hasten her footsteps and hugged Hazel tightly. Then, she raised her head and looked at Hazel apologetically. "Sorry, I made you worry."

Hazel patted at the girl's hair. "It's fine. I'm glad you called me." A smile curled on her lips. "Did you just came from the baby's room?"

Hailey's expression brightened. "Un. Un. Sister, the babies are just too cute and small. Let's go and watch them later."

A chuckle escaped her. "You're a big sister now. Later, you have to help your mom to look after the twins alright?

Hailey nodded happily before she pulled away. 

When Hazel looked up again, her uncle was staring at her with a concerned look in his gaze.

"You're here," Neil said. He glanced at his daughter and knew that it was Hailey who had told Hazel that her Auntie Edith had given birth. That morning, he was too anxious after he found his wife in the bathroom. He could not think of anything else other than to bring his wife to the hospital.

Hailey saw the way her father was carrying her mother with an anxious expression and became worried. There was no one she can talk to other than Hazel.

"Mmm… I just arrived a few minutes ago with Alex," Hazel said.

Neil looked at the shawl around Hazel's neck and recognized that it belonged to his wife. However, because the two girls would share their clothing at times, Neil did not think too much of it and let the matter slip. "How long are you planning to stay?" Neil asked. "What about your internship?"

"I will only stay for one night. I'll head back to L City tomorrow morning," Hazel said. "I heard that Auntie Edith had given birth and had to come over and see the twins." 

A smile tilted on her lips. "Uncle, congratulation on becoming a father again."

Neil let out a helpless smile. There was an obvious trace of happiness in his eyes. He was in his forties and he did not expect that he was going to be a father again at this age. 

In the beginning, he was too worried when he found out that his wife had gotten pregnant again. After they had Hailey, the two of them decided that it was enough for them to have a pair of a boy and girl.

Who would have thought that his wife would get pregnant again and had a twin on top of that?

Now that his wife had given birth to the two little monkeys, Neil felt as if a heavy rock has been lifted off his chest. He was just too happy that his wife and kids had come out safely from the delivery room.

"Do you want to see the twins?"

Hailey's ears perked up. She raised her hand and looked at her father expectantly. "Dad, let me go and bring sister over."

"Did you remember the way to the baby's room?" Neil asked.

Hailey pouted. "Dad, I'm not a kid anymore. Of course, I remember the way. Besides, it was not far away."

Neil looked at his daughter dotingly. "Alright. Go and take your sister to see the twins."

Hailey smiled brightly upon getting her father's permission.

"Later, I need you to take my car and bring Hailey home with you," Neil said. 

Initially, Neil was planning to send his daughter back home. However, his wife had just given birth and he did not want to be apart from her for a long time.

Although he had hired an auntie to look after his wife, Neil was more comfortable doing all sorts of things by himself. Edith had worked hard in the delivery room to give birth to his children. He just wanted to do something more for his wife.

Hailey held on to Hazel's hand before she excitedly pulled her over to the door. The two girls met Alex outside the door and Hazel pulled him along with them to look at the babies.

"Hayden did not come along?" Hazel asked Hailey as they walked along the corridor.

"Mmm… Brother is at home. He said that he will come and visit mom in the evening," Hailey said. "Great-Grandpa is at home and it would not be right if everyone left at the same time."

Hazel nodded.

Once they arrived at the babies' room, Hailey called one of the nurses on duty and told her that they are coming to visit the babies again. The nurse had seen Hailey with Neil a few minutes ago and recognized her. 

A faint smile curled on her lips as Hazel watched the twins for the first time. Perhaps it was because they were born premature, the babies' skins were red and wrinkly. 

At this time, one of the babies opened his mouth and yawn. It was a small, adorable movement.

Seeing this scene, Hazel felt a warm feeling surged through her heart. Her hand that was holding Alex tightened up a little bit. Hazel leaned her head on his arms as they continued to look at the sleeping babies together

…

Meanwhile…

Neil sent the auntie who was watching over his wife to go out and take a rest. Then, he sat down beside his wife and pecked at her cheek. "How are you feeling?"

Edith looked at her husband with watery eyes. "Darling, my body is all painful and sore."

"Sorry, it has been very hard on you." Neil held his wife closer. He let her rest her head on his chest and kissed her head repeatedly.

Whenever he recalled the moment he found his wife on the bathroom floor, his face would turn white. There were traces of blood coming from his wife's legs. Neil was so frightened that his expression turned rigid.

He could not bear to think of anything bad that would happen to his wife.

Fortunately, he was quick enough to bring his wife to the hospital. The doctor mentioned that if he was a little late, it would endanger both the mother and child. After a thorough check-up, The doctor mentioned that the babies are ready to come out and Edith was pushed into the labor room.

Fortunately, he did not have to wait for a long time until he heard the babies' cries.

It was only after he had seen his wife's tired smile did he began to relax. Fortunately, his wife and kids are safe.

Neil let out a heavy sigh as he held Edith tighter in his embrace. "Wife, thank you. You've been amazing."

"Hmm..." Edith lifted her head and pecked at Neil's jaw.. Her gaze turned warm as she continued to look at her husband.
