Chapter 824: How Are the Children? (4)
Zhuang Nainai stared fervently at the two children in the cots. She wished she could glue her eyes onto them. Her attention shifted between the two. She really wished she could grow another pair of eyes right now as she just could not get enough of them.
She stepped forward before speaking in a hesitant and cautious voice. Her voice could not be any softer. “Can I hug them?”
Si Zhengting’s voice also became gentle all of a sudden. “Yes.”
Then, he took a step forward. With one hand supporting the younger brother’s head, he held him up. The movement was skilled and swift. Thereafter, he passed the child to Zhuang Nainai.
Zhuang Nainai really did not know what to do with her hands, but she was naturally dexterous, so she imitated Si Zhengting’s movements quickly and held the child in her embrace.
The child seemed to be slightly uncomfortable as his nose crinkled. This caused Zhuang Nainai’s heart to lurch. Then, she saw him open his mouth, producing a bubble.
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes widened immediately. She felt like her heart just melted into a puddle.
She tried her best to swallow before lowering her head to look at the child.
Holding him in her arms, she sat down on the couch beside her. After she placed the child on her legs, she reached out and poked his face.
The moment she poked him, he suddenly started to wail.
Zhuang Nainai panicked immediately. She was at a loss for what to do.
She was so anxious that she did not know what to do. Her entire body was tense.
The door opened and the medical staff walked in. “Mr. Si, do you need any help?”
Si Zhengting answered nonchalantly, “No.”
He stepped forward and lifted the child’s pants skillfully to check if his diaper was wet. Upon seeing that it wasn’t, he walked to the side and took out a feeding bottle. After pouring some milk powder in, he brought it over and put it in the child’s mouth. The child wrapped his lips around the bottle’s opening immediately and started sucking on the bottle vigorously with his small mouth.
He was drinking the milk so fervently and adorably that Zhuang Nainai’s eyes widened.
Si Zhengting said to Zhuang Nainai, “The younger one has a really bad temper. If something does not go his way, he would just keep crying. But the doctor told me that crying helps the child train his lung capacity, which can improve his immune system.”
Zhuang Nainai nodded.
Just then, the other child started to whine softly. Zhuang Nainai asked hurriedly, “Is the older one hungry too?”
Si Zhengting walked to the side and checked the records before answering, “I don’t think so. He just drank 30 ml of milk half an hour ago.”
After saying this, he walked over and lifted the older brother’s pants. “He peed.”
He took out a disposable diaper and tossed it aside. After changing his small mattress, he nestled him in a comfortable position. The older brother made a bubble immediately and clenched his fists before going back to sleep.
The younger brother finished drinking his milk. He also fell asleep after whining for a while. Then, Si Zhengting held him and placed him inside the baby cot gently.
When he turned around, Zhuang Nainai still could not take her eyes off of the two children. Her eyes were filled with heartache.
He pressed his lips together and remained silent.
He would not tell her that the children’s conditions had already improved from last time. When they were just born, there were so many tubes stuck inside them. The tiny newborns could only lie inside the isolation room. He couldn’t even enter and could only watch from outside.
At that time, every time he saw them, his heart would ache for them, not to mention for her!
