Liang Anya and her subordinate got into Huo Family’s car.

Soon, the car left the castle, heading along the main road towards Jiayi’s city hospital for delivery.

——————————

Outside the sterile delivery room.

Huo Zhenyang paced back and forth in the hallway like an anxious lion, occasionally looking up at the small red light above the operating room.

The red light displayed "ON", indicating the surgery was still ongoing.

"Why isn’t she out yet!"

"Why isn’t there any sound? Hasn’t she finished birthing yet?"

...

From time to time, anxious growls came from Huo Zhenyang’s throat.

The Huo Family assistants standing on both sides of the corridor were both amused and sympathetic. Of course, they didn’t dare to mock the big Boss’s impatience and only tried to persuade:

"Boss, it’s been less than ten minutes since the young mistress went in; the anesthesia probably just started..."

Less than ten minutes?

He paused angrily, really.

But why does he feel like he’s waited a whole century?

Twin births typically involve a caesarean section. But naturally born children are usually healthier and smarter.

Jiayi assessed her physical condition and ultimately decided on natural childbirth.

Huo Zhenyang initially opposed it, but Jiayi kept bringing up her health report every day, and since the doctor also said that Jiayi maintained her pregnancy weight well, the weight of the two fetuses could withstand natural delivery, he reluctantly agreed.

The thought of her small frame carrying two babies and having to give birth to them made him wonder how she could endure it.

His palms were sweaty.

He was more tormented than the little woman in the delivery room. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The assistants exchanged helpless glances, pondering that although Boss wasn’t a first-time father, why was he still so impatient? He seemed ready at any moment to rush in and grab the doctor by the collar for questioning.

Well, the first time the young mistress was giving birth to the young master, Boss wasn’t by her side, so today counts as his first time as a novice!

"Boss, rest assured, this is the best hospital in A Country, with the best obstetrics and gynecology medical staff. The young mistress and her two children will be fine." The assistants quietly reassured him.

The person giving birth isn’t just Huo Family Group’s young mistress, but also the beloved wife of A Country’s prince. How could the hospital in A Country not take it seriously?

Right after the young mistress arrived at the hospital, even the local Royal Family sent a telegram to express their condolences and care for Huo Zhenyang, and specifically instructed the hospital to ensure the safety of the mother and children.

The phone rang.

Huo Zhenyang composed his emotions, glanced at the caller—it was Yunling’s home phone—and answered.

He just made a call home saying Jiayi was in labor, and on the other end, they immediately became anxious. They were probably getting impatient now.

"Daddy, has mommy given birth?" an inquisitive, fresh voice with a hint of worry came from Zaizai.

Beside him, Xia Tingxuan and Chu Yanhan were also there, waiting with their grandson from afar for the two precious grandsons to arrive. Their voices followed: "How is Jiayi?"

"Daddy, mommy, no need to worry. Jiayi has just entered the delivery room, and everything is going smoothly," Huo Zhenyang tried to sound calm, although he was super nervous himself.

The other side calmed down hearing this.

Huo Zhenyang said he’d report back once Jiayi had given birth, and hung up the phone.

Next came a long wait.

After an uncertain while, the sound of a baby’s cry finally came from inside the delivery room.

The sound was tender yet loud, breaking the silence of the hospital.

Then another sound of a baby’s cry echoed, somewhat weaker but still clear.

The assistants witnessed the Boss’s pupils instantly brightening as if filled with iris light.

The delivery room door opened, and a doctor came out, removed the mask and congratulated: "The mother and two children are safe, the infants are very healthy. The first is a young lady, the second is a young master, congra..."

Before the words were finished, the man in front swiftly put on a sterile gown and strode into the delivery room.

Midwives, nurses, and anesthetists backed away; they had never seen such an impatient husband of a parturient.

He went straight to the bedside, kneeled on one knee, leaned his handsome face close, gently brushed away her damp hair, and pressed a kiss on her slightly pale forehead, asking tenderly, "Did it hurt?"

A group of nurses watched with flushed cheeks, both envious and surprised. Generally, after a mother gives birth, the husband would at least hug the child first before turning to the mother; however, the Oriental man before them went straight to his wife on the bed.

His eyes seemed only to see the woman on the bed. She was the most important; nothing else mattered.

Not fully awake from the anesthesia, Jiayi vaguely felt someone holding her hand, planting a kiss on her forehead.

"...It hurt." She admitted without hiding anything, speaking with a hint of grievance in her voice.

Feeling the pain, Huo Zhenyang lightly kissed her hand again: "It’s my fault. We won’t have more kids."

He had wanted her to give birth to a basketball team, but witnessing once was enough to scare him.

This sort of anxiety couldn’t happen again.

However, even in today’s advanced pain-free childbirth, it is impossible to completely eliminate labor pain.

Despite the pain, it also brought an overwhelming sense of fulfillment.

Perhaps giving birth to the child of a man she loves is a very happy thing.

This kind of fulfillment and happiness can overshadow all pain.

Weakly, Jiayi asked, "Honey, did you see the two babies?"

"Um..." He raised an eyebrow, sounding slightly hesitant.

She understood: "You didn’t even glance at the babies."

What kind of dad doesn’t even look at his newborns?

He stroked her hair, his spoiled smile sickeningly sweet, causing those around to feel toothache: "I’ll look at the big baby first, then go check the little treasures."

That sounds about right.

The remaining effect of the anesthesia came over her, and she blissfully fainted in his embrace.

...

When Liang Anya arrived at the hospital, she found out Jiayi had already given birth.

In the ward, the two snow-white, jade-like little ones beside Jiayi almost brought Liang Anya to tears.

Perhaps the birth of a new life has a potent healing power, able to soothe all bad feelings.

Among the milky scent of the two little meatballs, she almost forgot all the recent troubles.

The eldest of the dragon and phoenix twins is a little girl, chubby and fair, exhausting almost all of Jiayi’s strength. It’s said she was very lively once born and cried so loudly that the entire hospital could hear.

The younger one is a little brother, slightly thinner but very healthy, born with a head full of dense hair, with features so beautiful they resemble a little girl, and having a stable personality like a little gentleman.

"My Xiaoxiao suddenly gained a god-brother and god-sister," Liang Anya said with a smile, but her smile soon froze.

Xiaoxiao don’t know when will return to her side.

As she thought about it, her emotions inevitably fluctuated again.

Jiayi noticed her sudden distraction: "What’s wrong?"

"Nothing. I was just thinking, once Zaizai, Xiaoxiao, and the two little ones are together, it will be so lively." Liang Anya diverted the topic.

Indeed it will be.

Just imagining that scene made Jiayi’s head ache a bit.
