862 Don’t Run (2/2)

Iris also had several meetings earlier at JJ's record label. She met with the other artists that she had chosen to perform the extra songs she wrote. A few agreements had already been successfully finalized that very day while the others were still pending. Most of them were excited to work with her.

Fortunately, her pregnancy symptoms didn't flare up too badly during the meetings. She didn't bring Little Liwei, the big teddy bear, with her this time but she wore a men's sweater that Jin Liwei wore the previous day. She managed to survive all of her meetings without fainting or making other people suspicious of her oversensitive behaviours.

Jin Liwei felt relieved that nothing happened to his baby girl while she was out working earlier today. He already hired a private, live-in doctor for her while waiting for the hospital wing to be built in their home. The doctor would accompany her wherever she needed to go.

She was unhappy that there was an additional person following her around but she didn't complain because it was not only for her sake but also for their twin babies' health and safety.

They ate an early dinner together at home before he had to head to his home office for the video conference. Ketchup sent him text updates during the video conference about what his pregnant wife was doing.

Iris was at her home studio working on her music. However, she only spent a couple of hours there before heading to their bedroom to sleep early. She brought Ice Cream and Popcorn to accompany her in bed while Jin Liwei was still busy working at his home office. Ever since her nightmare, she had become a little afraid of sleeping alone.

Back to the present, Jin Liwei climbed on the bed and lay down beside his baby girl after changing into his pyjamas. The annoyed Ice Cream meowed a sleepy complaint at him for disturbing her beauty sleep on the bed while Popcorn remained sleeping on the chaise longue without stirring.

After kissing his sleeping baby girl on the lips and petting the surly Ice Cream, he fell asleep soon as well. Some time later, he was dreaming of two, little daredevils running all over their home while he and his baby girl laughed in happiness when he was awakened by a sudden movement beside him.

”Hm?”

He opened his eyes a crack and saw his baby girl rushing to the bathroom.

”Don't run,” he murmured in a sleepy voice.

He thought that she must be in hurry because she couldn't hold her pee anymore. The frequency of her need to pee had increased ever since she became pregnant, so he wasn't surprised that she woke up rushing to the bathroom. He closed his eyes again, intending to go back to sleep.

Then the loud sounds of vomiting started coming out of the bathroom. His eyes flew open in an instant. The two cats moved faster than him. They were already running like little rockets to the bathroom before he could even jump off the bed. Even the fat Ice Cream managed to move with a speed that she hadn't displayed in a long time since she was a kitten.

”Love!”
