846 Women are Amazing (1/2)
Jin Liwei stayed awake and chatted with his baby girl while waiting for her to sleep. He could sense her dread about falling asleep but her pregnant body craved it more than her own will, so she eventually fell into deep sleep within half an hour. He waited for another ten minutes just to make sure that she wouldn't wake up. Then he called for their AI children.
”Bacon, go to your Uncle Zihao and tell him everything that happened to your mom today,” he instructed his AI son. ”Describe everything in detail. Urge him to meet and talk to us in person as soon as possible. Let him know that his refusal to talk to us is adding to his sister's stress and he mustn't do that because it's affecting her health which is not good for a pregnant woman. No need to be nice. Just dump all the facts on him without mincing any of your words.”
”Understood, Father,” Bacon replied in a quiet and polite tone. His tail, however, was thumping in excitement, no doubt unable to wait to talk to his Uncle Zihao again. ”Bacon will do as Father says. I will go now. Please have a restful sleep with Mother. I will report to Father first thing in the morning when you wake up.”
”Good. Go now. Take care.”
”Yes, Father. Thank you.” Then Bacon left to do his errand with great eagerness.
”Daddy, is Mommy okay now? Ketchup was so scared! Meowuwuwu.” The white cat cried softly, her tears forming a small, sparking puddle around her white fluffy self curled into a pitiful ball on the virtual floor.
Jin Liwei watched his sobbing AI daughter on his tablet perched on his bedside table. He sighed and wished that he could pat and comfort her with his hands. ”Your mom's alright now, but she needs to get more rest and avoid stress as much as possible. She's having a hard time with her pregnancy.”
”The cute and mighty Ketchup will definitely do my best to help Mommy relax. Meow~”
He smiled. ”Good. Now I need you to do something for me.”
”What is it, Daddy? Meow~”
”Check if your Uncle Yingjie is still awake right now. I was told in the hospital that it's his day off today.”
”Okie dokie, Daddy! Ketchup will check now! Wait a moment. Meow~”
Three seconds later, Ketchup reported, ”Daddy, Uncle Doc is currently reading some old and boring medical reports from the hospital's internal online database using his laptop at home. What a nerd! Blegh! Meow~”
Jin Liwei shook his head. Ketchup's straightforwardness definitely came from her mother. A small, doting smile lifted the corners of his lips. ”Great job, Ketchup.”
”Ehehehe. Thanks, Daddy. Meow~”
He grabbed his tablet and padded out of the bedroom into their suite's living room. In a quiet voice, he instructed, ”Ketchup, make a call to your Uncle Yingjie for me.”
”Aye aye, Daddy! It's ringing…ringing…oopsie daisy! Daddy, Uncle Doc didn't answer your call! Is he ignoring Daddy? Dramatic gasp! What is this unexpected development?! Shocking! Find out in the next episode! Meow!”
Jin Liwei exhaled an exasperated sigh. It was at times like this that he wished Ketchup's personality wasn't based so much on Dominic Chua's overdramatic one.
Nevertheless, he wouldn't have it any other way if given the chance to redo the personalities of his children. They were all unique in their own little way and he already found their not-so-little quirks endearing.
