Knowing that Edith and the twins were alright, Hazel had no reason to stay in L City for too long. Hazel and Alex booked an early flight on the next day and they were scheduled to depart around the afternoon.

Before she was going to return to L City, Hazel decided to visit her Auntie Edith and the twins.

After they returned to L City, it would be hard for her to see the twins again. It seemed that she was going to miss watching them grow up just like she had with both Hayden and Hailey. Although she had not spent a long time with the twins, Hazel knew that she was going to miss them so much.

As Hazel entered the wardroom, her Auntie and Uncle were sitting on the bed, whispering something. Seeing the two were acting lovey-dovey, Hazel felt her cheek heated up and she stepped back.

Although she was used to seeing the two of them acting affectionately in front of her, this time Hazel was slightly shy. 

She wondered if she was starting to feel a little awkward after experiencing all sorts of things with Alex.

Unfortunately, before Hazel was able to step away, Edith had noticed her presence. 

"Hazel, you're here." Edith looked at the girl who was standing at the door and a faint smile escaped her once she noticed that Hazel was wearing a turtleneck. She was reminded of the marks she had accidentally seen and glanced at her husband.

Fortunately, Neil was a little preoccupied with everything else that he had failed to notice anything strange about Hazel. However, her gaze turned warm as she recalled how Neil has been running back and forth from her wardroom to the babies' room.

This man had hired an experienced auntie to look after her, but he would not be at ease until he did everything himself. 

Edith thought that perhaps, Neil was a little traumatic after yesterday's event that he was not willing to leave her alone. 

"I heard that you will be heading to B City this evening," Edith said as her husband helped her to adjust the pillow behind her. 

"Hmm…" Hazel pouted as she walked over. 

"Let your uncle send you to the airport."

"No. That's not necessary. I'm sure my uncle would love to accompany you here." Hazel smiled. "Besides, Auntie Lily had offered to drive us to the airport." 

A thought crossed her mind and Hazel rummaged her purse. She pulled out a set of car keys and handed it over to her uncle. "Uncle, your car keys. I parked your car at the same spot as yesterday."

Neil nodded. He slid his car keys into his pocket and stepped out to give the two girls a chance to chat. 

"I'm going to miss watching the twins grow up," Hazel spoke as soon as her uncle had left the room.

Edith laughed. "Don't worry. I will post a picture of them every day. That way you will not miss anything."

Hazel smiled, knowing that it would not be the same thing. "I will return during the twins' full months celebration. Yesterday, I was in a hurry to visit you that I forgot to bring those rompers with me. Next time, I will post them over through the courier service."

The two of them chatted about the babies for a while and Edith mentioned recuperating in the hospital for a few more days to accompany the twins. The babies were born prematurely and she was anxious if she had to be far away from them.

After chatting for a while, Hazel's phone started to chime. Seeing that Alex and Auntie Lily were on their way to pick her up, Hazel bid her goodbyes and stopped by the baby's room again. She spent a few minutes watching them sleep and headed downstairs when Alex had arrived.

"How's your Auntie Edith?" Lily asked the moment Hazel slipped into the passenger's seat. "I haven't had my chance to visit her yet. When will she be discharged?"

"Auntie Edith is planning to stay for a few more days. Just until the twins are more stabilized," Hazel said. "The doctor said that the boys are quite strong. Maybe the two will be discharged soon."

Lily thought about the newborn babies and heaved a sigh.

She could almost imagine that things were going to be lively in Mo's household again with the twins around. The image of small kids running around appeared in her mind.

Suddenly, Lily wanted to hold a baby as well. However, she couldn't get pregnant again. After she had Ellie, Both Lily and Ethan had decided that they were not going to have kids again.

Her gaze fell on the girl sitting beside her and suddenly, a mysterious smile curled on Lily's lips.

…

Both Alex and Hazel reached the airport and headed straight to the departure hall. 

Earlier, the traffic was congested due to an accident and the two of them nearly did not make it to the airport to catch their flight. 

Hearing the announcement on the speaker, Alex held on Hazel's hand tightly before they both ran over to the terminal. After passing through the security check, both of them arrived in the nick of time. 

They found their seat in the plane and heaved a sigh of relief.

Hazel glanced at the man beside her and laughed. "That was tiring."

Alex let out a chuckle. He helped Hazel with her seat belt and held on her hand tightly as the plane took off. Once they were given the signal that it was safe for them to remove their seat belt, Alex waved his hand at the stewardess and asked for a glass of water for his girlfriend.

"Alex."

"Hmm?"

"I'm going to miss the babies."

A chuckle escaped him. "We can always head back and visit them every weekend.."

Hazel let out a long sigh. "Forget it. I'm going to be busy with this internship. Let's just come back during the twins' full month celebration." A faint smile curled on her lips as she recalled the adorable look on the twin's faces as they slept.

"Why are you smiling?"

Hazel shook her head. She lifted her head and flashed a smile. "Thank you for coming over with me this time."

"What are you thanking me for" Alex pinched at her cheek. "If I did not come with you, I would not be at ease."

Hazel recalled the way she had almost lost her mind when Hailey had called to tell her about Auntie Edith's accident. It was Alex who had stayed around and helped her to calm down. This man had always been one of her strongest support.

"Alex?"

His lips curled into a helpless smile. "What is it?"

Hazel leaned into his embrace and whispered, "Have I ever told you that I love you?"

His eyes darkened. Alex had wanted to kiss the girl senselessly, but he recalled that they were both on a flight. "You have.. But I love to hear that words over and over again."
