Liling nodded her head and lovingly looked at their son. She would give her life for him.
When she saw him sucking his fingers, she said," I think he's hungry." Jing Yue straightened up and said, "I will let you feed him." When she nodded, he glanced at Li Fei before walking out of the room.
"You need any help?" Li Fei asked as she walked towards the bed. "I think I got it," she replied as she unbuttoned the hospital gown. "I will be back shortly," she said before stepping outside.
Reaching the corridor, she found Jing Yue pacing back and forth. "We shouldn't have lied to her," he said. "We had no option at the moment. We shall tell her when the time is right," she replied. "She's going to be very mad. Extremely mad."
"I know but her health is our priority. Let's behave like everything is normal," she said before going back inside and Jing Yue went to inform his parents.
She found Liling still breastfeeding the baby and she said," He is so adorable." "Yes. Are my girls adorable too?" asked Liling. "I haven't seen them yet but those who have, said that they are," she replied. "Are they being fed?" she asked. Li Fei nodded before saying," The doctors are taking care of everything." "Do you think I can see them?" "At the moment no. Your wound is still fresh," she replied and she nodded. When she got done with breastfeeding, the baby fell asleep and Liling looked at him for so long before saying," Jing Juan is his name. The girls are Jing Huan and Jing Nuan."
Li Fei pursed her lips," They are beautiful names."
When the baby was placed back in his crib, Jin Liwei and Jing Yue's parents came in to see her after Jing Yue had lectured them not to pronounce the death of one of the triplets.
Later when they had left, Li Fei realized that it was getting late and she thought to leave. "Why don't you stay for the night?" Liling asked her. "You really want me to?" she asked and she nodded. "Alright. I will stay. Let me inform Jin Liwei," she said before stepping outside.
In the morning, Li Fei woke up and she sat on the couch where she had slept, then looked at the spare bed to see that Jing Yue was not there. Walking towards the baby crib, she realized that the baby was sleeping peacefully just like his mother.
She then went to the bathroom and brushed her teeth then washed her face. On going back to the room, she found Liling awake and she was holding her son. "When did you wake up? And who passed him to you?" she asked.
"I did," she replied. "Why? You have to be mindful of your wound Liling." "I know but I couldn't help it," she replied.
Li Fei walked towards the other bed and sat down, watching as she breastfed the baby. "Where's Jing Yue?" Liling asked. "I don't know. He wasn't around when I woke up. Do you want me to call him?" she asked and Liling nodded. Getting her phone, she called his number and he picked up almost immediately. "Li Fei, is everything alright?" he asked when he answered. "Yes. Where are you?" she asked. "I rushed home to pick a few things," he replied. "Alright I will tell Liling. She was asking for you." "Okay. I will be back."
Hanging up, she looked at her and said," He went to the house to pick some stuff. He's coming back." Liling nodded and she continued breastfeeding her son as she looked at him fondly.
"It is such a pity that I haven't been able to see my daughters," she said suddenly. "You're going to see them," replied Li Fei. "I don't think so," she replied after buttoning up the hospital gown and Li Fei came to get the baby from her but she shook her head and she remained carrying him on her lap.
"Li Fei, I want you to take care of my children when I am gone," she said and Li Fei frowned. "You're not going anywhere," she said. "One can never be so sure," she replied looking away and she asked,"Do you promise to take care of them?" "Of course Liling. I will always love your children as though they are mine," she replied and Liling nodded.
"Thank you. I might not be able to wait for Jing Yue. But when you see him, tell him that I love him so much," she said and Li Fei's frown deepened.
"What are you talking about Liling? You're scaring me," she whispered. "You don't have to be scared. Just tell him that I ask him to love our children regardless of any situation. Tell him that he is the best thing that has ever happened to me. And- " "Liling stop it!" Li Fei said, her eyes glistening with tears.
"I have to, for I may not get another chance to say this. Tell him that I love him so much and that he should live his life even when I'm gone.
Tell him that I'm sorry for I couldn't wait to tell him these things myself," she said and the tears Li Fei had been holding flowed.
"Don't do this to him Liling. Don't do it," she whispered. "And as for my kids, always tell them that I love them so much and that I will always be looking out for them," she said.
"Please," whispered Li Fei. "Thank you for everything. For being a good friend and treating me like a sister," she said smiling.
