842 Scream at Heaven and Hell (2/2)

She fell down on her knees and screamed at heaven and hell while tears of blood flowed down her soulless eyes.

”Baby! Wake up!”

Iris' eyes flew open while she was in the middle of screaming and thrashing against the people trying to hold her down on the bed.

”It's okay, baby! I'm here. You're alright.”

”Liwei!” She burst into tears when she saw the love of her life alive and well. She jumped into his arms and hugged him as tightly as she could, afraid that he was just an illusion and he really died with their babies.

Jin Liwei was murmuring soothing words to her but he couldn't hide the fear and worry in his voice. ”It's just a nightmare, love.”

There were other people in the bedroom—Dom, the butler, and two security personnel—who were the nearest to answer Ketchup's frantic call for help after hearing her mommy screaming in her sleep. Ice Cream and Popcorn also never left.

Fortunately, Jin Liwei had just arrived at the mansion from his meeting with Elder Long Jufang and the shareholders on behalf of Iris. A calm and collected Bacon informed him of what was happening with his mother. Jin Liwei immediately ran to the bedroom and took over in trying to wake up his hysterical, sleeping wife while also preventing her from hurting herself accidentally with all her thrashing.

Her nightmare must be quite frightening for her to react like this. He could barely hold on to his composure especially after hearing her anguished screams.

When she woke up, great relief flooded him but not for long because she immediately began sobbing in his arms. He tried talking to her but couldn't get through her distressed state.

”Ketchup, have someone prepare the helicopter ASAP,” he instructed. ”I'm taking your mom to the hospital.”

”Wuwuwu! Yes, Daddy! Meowuwuwu!”

Jin Liwei then gave additional instructions to the other people in the bedroom. They all dispersed to do what they were told.

”Bacon, make sure this doesn't leak outside. Your mom doesn't need additional stress from the public learning about this.”

”Worry not, Father. Bacon will secure everything regarding this matter.”

Jin Liwei nodded and continued trying to calm his wife.

”Hospital,” Iris cried. ”Let's go to the hospital!”

”Yes, I'm bringing you to the hospital,” he told her but she wasn't listening.

”Our babies!” she continued crying.

That caught his attention. ”What about our babies?”

”Check that our babies are still alive!”

He immediately looked down between her legs and felt it with his hand to make sure that she wasn't bleeding. When he was sure that there was no blood, he released a small sigh of relief but still couldn't feel assured because of her hysterical babble.

”You died, Liwei! Our babies died, too! I couldn't protect all of you! I was the only one left alive. I tried this time to save my family but I failed! I'd rather die again than see you all die before me!”

”Ssshh. We're alright. Nobody died. We won't leave you, love. Our babies are alright, I'm sure.” He tried his best to calm her down even though he also felt disturbed by her words. ”It's just a nightmare. And don't worry. I'll be the one to protect our family.”
