Gu Jinglian saw that her eyelids were so heavy she could hardly keep them open, yet she struggled to stay awake. “If you’re tired, go to sleep. I’ll accompany you.”
Chu He was happy when she heard that. “You’re not going anywhere?”
“Of course.”
Chu He refused to sleep, fearing that it would be dark and he wouldn’t be there when she opened her eyes again. She would be alone and it would feel awful. Gu Jinglian knew she felt uneasy, so he took the initiative to tell her that he would be staying put.
He hadn’t expected her to feel insecure. However, he could not be bothered to tease her now, he only felt heartache for her.
Chu He closed her eyes in relief with that reassurance.
She was in too much agony. On top of that, the drug was slowly wearing off, and the pain was taking its toll.

When Gu Jinglian heard that the C-section cut had to be closed with six layers of sutures, his heart ached even more. He had every intention to be by her side throughout the recuperation process.
In the evening, Butler Fu arrived with Baby Chu and Linxi. Chu He woke up at this point and the wound started to hurt. After all, it was six layers of suture. However, Chu He bore with the pain and said nothing about it.
Even Butler Fu was surprised. “You don’t feel any pain?”
“It doesn’t hurt much. It’s nothing like removing a bullet without anesthesia.” Chu He said casually. The fact was that it hurt a lot. It was just that pain was something that grew worse with the attention one gave it.
Focusing on being relaxed was actually the best way to deal with pain. At least it was a distraction.
Baby Chu and Linxi saw that Lotus Chu was lying on the bed and asked after her anxiously.
“Mommy, are you sure it doesn’t hurt?”
“It won’t hurt if you sing a song for Mummy.”
Linxi became nervous when he heard that and said immediately, “Don’t. Baby Chu sings badly!”
Linxi had very quickly exposed Baby Chu as the latter was just about to start singing. The boy said with an unhappy expression. “What do you mean I sing badly?! I haven’t even shown you what I’m capable of!”
“Well, don’t start. You can’t even keep in tune for a nursery rhyme. You have no talent for singing.”
Baby Chu was stumped.
Chu He looked at Baby Chu’s aggrieved expression and almost burst out laughing, but stopped herself as she was afraid that it would affect her wound. She held back her laughter and said, “Baby Chu, why don’t you talk to Mommy instead of sing!”
“Mommy, you believe what Linxi said too?” Baby Chu defended himself aggrievedly. “My singing isn’t bad!”
“Fine then!”
Chu He suddenly turned to Gu Jinglian ande asked curiously, “Have you seen the two little ones?”
“They’ve been sent to the nursery. I haven’t been to see them yet.”
‘You must be dying to see them!’ Chu He urged the man, “Go and see the two little ones! Baby Chu and Linxi are here accompanying me.”
Gu Jinglian nodded. In fact, he had wanted to see the twins for a long time, but he’d been too nervous about leaving Chu He alone before Butler Fu arrived. Now that Butler Fu was here, he was relieved.
Gu Jinglian walked towards the nursery. There was only one incubator in the huge room, and the other little one was lying in it too. The man pushed open the door and walked in. In the incubator, the two little ones were lying facing in one direction, their little hands held tightly together.
Such a heartwarming scene actually touched Gu Jinglian’s heart.
He did not expect to see such love between the babies.
