Bertie stood outside the operating room. As Monica’s biological father, he was also very anxious, but apart from praying, he couldn’t help at all. He wasn’t a doctor and had no solutions; even though he had once ruled a country with great glory, he felt so powerless in the face of life and death. At this moment, he realized how outstanding his two sons were and felt a newfound respect for doctors.
After a long three-hour surgery, Monica successfully gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. Her condition was stable with no life-threatening issues. The babies were healthy and adorable, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Having witnessed this experience, Tristan gained a deeper understanding of the difficulties women endure-the hardships of pregnancy, the potential dangers during childbirth, the unbearable pain, and the selfless and great maternal love. If a woman didn’t truly love a man, how could she be willing to bear children for him? Tristan felt immense compassion for her and vowed to understand her better, protect her, and love her even more.
Monica did not have a natural birth, so she stayed in the hospital for a week. Tristan accompanied her throughout her stay. With the meticulous care of Belinda and Catherine, Monica gradually recovered and was finally able to leave the hospital with her babies.
It was Friday, the weather was clear with no clouds in sight. Eason, who was in his first year of high school, had known since Wednesday that Monica had given birth to twins and had been eagerly waiting for time to pass quickly. Finally, it was Friday, and he was overjoyed! Carrying his backpack, he walked towards the school gate; today he would go home to see the little babies.
Since recovering his health, Eason had grown rapidly and was already 1. 7 meters tall. His intelligence had returned to normal, often scoring first place in school exams. His grades were not only excellent but also consistent, frequently leaving the second-place student far behind. As a result, he became a legendary figure in school.
On the basketball court, his agile figure could often be seen; he wasn’t just a bookworm but also loved sports. Eason was truly outstanding, and Ivan highly recognized him. He was the light in many girls’ youth; several girls in his class mustered up the courage to confess their feelings to him, but he always politely declined them like a gentleman. He never mocked their youthful impulses or hurt their self-esteem; he patiently told them that he wasn’t ready for a relationship yet.
In short, Eason had become the brightest star on campus; everyone knew of his existence and admired his achievements. His sister was Mrs. Marsh, his brother was Mr. Norwell, and his sister-in-law was Princess Lu Layeka-how could anyone not envy such status?
Confidently carrying his backpack, Eason walked out of the school gate where a familiar car awaited him. The driver smiled warmly as he opened the car door for him. “Good day, Master Eason.”
“Take me directly to Tristan’s house.”
“Yes, sir.”
Eason especially liked little children; sitting in the car, he glanced at the scenery outside the window and prepared two small red envelopes as gifts with his pocket money. He had finally become an uncle! Previously, he had only been an uncle on his mother’s side.
At Emerald Bay, today’s sunset was pinkish-purple and exceptionally beautiful-like a painting. Alfie and Diana were playing in the yard with their almost one-year-old little sister Bell. The yard’s scenery was lovely; the grass was soft and fully disinfected.
Bell could barely walk; she loved wearing dresses with a small handbag slung over her shoulder and a headband on her head. She liked to grin widely with crescent-shaped eyes; she was chubby and very cute.
“Bell, over here~”
“Slow down!”
She wobbled towards her siblings with outstretched arms like an adorable little penguin.
