1496: Missed It

Missed It

After struggling for 72 hours, Huo Yunshen was finally out of the danger zone. He finally woke up five days after the surgery.2

He did not feel anything strange with his body other than the slight pain in his head.

He did not lose his memory, and it was a huge relief.

Jing Xi went to visit him the moment she got word that Huo Yunshen had woken up.

Huo Yunshen grabbed his wife's hand when they finally met.

"I made it…" Huo Yunshen said.

"I knew you could make it," Jing Xi said as tears rolled down her face.

Huo Yunshen suddenly realized that Jing Xi's belly wasn't huge anymore.

"Your belly… Where are the babies?" Huo Yunshen asked with a panicked voice.

"You have been unconscious the whole time, so it's normal that you don't know," Huo Sanyan replied to the question. "Your wife has successfully given birth to two babies."

"What? When?"

"Five days ago."

"…" Disappointment could clearly be seen on Huo Yunshen's face.

He had promised to be with Jing Xi until labor.

And yet he'd missed it utterly.

They didn't tell Huo Yunshen about the accident that happened during his surgery or that Jing Xi was forced to go into labor earlier.

"I'm so sorry… I promised you that I'd be there for you all the time, but you had to suffer all of that alone again…"

"Don't fret too much about it," Jing Xi comforted. "What's important is that you're well and alive."

"Yes…"

The couple looked at each other as they held hands.

The other people left the room to give them some private time.

"Come here," Huo Yunshen said as he moved to the side, emptying up space on his bed. "Lie with me."

"Okay!" Jing Xi climbed up on his bed and lay on his shoulder.

"It must have been painful, right?"

"No, not at all. Everything went smoothly."

Jing Xi did not want to worry her husband and decided to hide the truth from him.

"How are they?"

"They're doing great," Jing Xi raised her head and said. "Aren't you going to ask me if they are boys or girls?"

"Are they boys or girls?"

"Guess."

"One boy and one girl?"

"Guess again."

"Two girls? Two boys?"

"Yup, you have two sons now. Congratulations on becoming the father of three kids," Jing Xi smiled.

"Thank you. You've worked really hard."

Huo Yunshen hugged his wife tightly and kissed her. Even though Jing Xi had said she didn't suffer much, Huo Yunshen knew that giving birth was not an easy feat.

"Didn't I book the best maternity hotel for you? Why didn't you go there?" Huo Yunshen asked since it had been five days since the labor.

"I canceled it," Jing Xi replied. "I decided to stay here with you and that we can leave the hospital together as a family."

"But, is this enough for you?"

"Don't worry about me. My mom's here too. I will be restless if I'm not by your side."
