Corinne had been waiting for Jeremy all this while, yet he ran off with one of the babies.
‘Poor thing still doesn’t know what happened,’ thought Xante with a sigh.
Someone knocked on the door again.
Xante went to open it, and two nurses brought in the twins.
She was about to close the door when she remembered Sunny was outside.
Her hand paused on the doorknob as she turned to look at him.
At that moment, Sunny had noticed the nurses with the babies, so he tiptoed to catch a clear glimpse of them before they went
in.
Seeing this, Xante said, “The boss is awake.Why don’t you come in and see the babies too?"
Sunny was a little taken aback, but he then bashfully came in.
The two nurses took turns to show Corinne her babies.
Corinne was so weak that she could not even raise her hand, so she did not dare hold the babies for fear of dropping them.
A rush of warmth flooded her heart when she saw the babies in the swaddle.
They looked so small like some kind of hairless animal.
They had taken after their stoic dad in terms of their eyes and noses.
Corinne’s chest tightened again at the thought of Jeremy.
She felt like she could not breathe.
Since the babies could not leave the incubator for long, the nurses picked them up again.
“We’ll bring the babies to you again tomorrow. They have to go back to the incubator now."
Corinne looked longingly at the babies before allowing them to bring the babies back with a nod.
