Chapter 420 - My baby... (2/2)

She looked at them. Little Monkey was in Lyle's arms while Jack was holding a nursery rhymes book. The latter was probably reading to her before they came in.

Once Jack got over his shock, he immediately ran over. He gently touched her hand as if to convince himself that she was really awake. Once he was sure, he looked up and asked her in a small voice, "Are you feeling better now? When did you wake up?"

"She just woke up, Jack. Not long after you guys left… But she doesn't have much energy at the moment, so don't ask her too many questions," said DX.

Kai Xin rolled her eyes at his overprotectiveness but she did not say anything. Despite her sleep, she was indeed still a little tired.

He walked to the couch and gently placed Kai Xin down as if she was a priceless treasure that would break upon a minor impact.

Once Kai Xin was seated down on the couch, Lyle scooted closer to her and in a soft voice, he said softly, "Little Monkey, look! It's Mummy!"

Kai Xin looked at the bundle in Lyle's hand and she saw DX's intelligent looking eyes staring back at her. She was surprised by her size as she recalled Little Monkey to be quite small the last time she saw her.

Looking at DX, she then asked, "She seems bigger. I recall her being smaller than this."

DX smiled. He sat next to her before he replied, "That's cause you were out for three months."

Hearing his words, Kai Xin gasped, "Three months!"

It did not feel like three months! She felt as if she had only slept for a couple of hours! Well, maybe around 12 hours! But three months?!

"That's not right..." thought Kai Xin. Something was amiss here. Even if she was a preemie, by now, she should have been discharged from the hospital.

With a worried expression, she looked at Dr. Phillip as she asked, "Why is she still at the hospital? Is she alright?"

The man laughed softly as he answered, "Why don't you ask your husband?"

When she looked back at DX, he smiled guiltily as he said, "I want us to go home together… All of us…"

Dr. Phillip smiled as he said, "He gave my nurses a lot of troubles during the past three months… Some of them nearly resigned because of how mean he was!"

When he felt a menacing stare from DX, he gulped and faked a cough before changing the topic, "Anyway, Little Monkey can go home with you guys anytime. She's completely fine, but you! We still have to do some check up on you before we can allow you to go home."

Hearing that her daughter was fine, Kai Xin sighed in relief. She then turned her gaze back to her daughter and with a smile, she asked softly, "Did you miss me?"

Little Monkey did not recognize her, so when she looked at Kai Xin, she remained expressionless. Still, she wanted to cry so that her brother would take her away from this "stranger".

With teary eyes, Kai Xin took Little Monkey's small hand in hers as she said softly, "You scared me earlier... Please don't do that again, alright? I love you so much… So, so much..."

Little Monkey frowned. She recognized this voice. She had heard this voice before, but she did not know where.

"Do you want to try to carry her, Mum?" asked Lyle as he looked at his mother with a smile. Kai Xin had lost a considerable amount of weight and her cheeks had sunken in. Still, he still thought of her as one of the most beautiful women in the world.

Kai Xin thought about it for a moment before she shook her head and said in a small voice, "I'm afraid…"
