Chapter 734: NOT ENOUGH TIME TO GRIEVE (3)
Because Iris spent most of the time sleeping, since she was still recovering from traumatic birth experience, Grace suggested to alternate between giving the baby breast milk and her concoction, since they had to maintain the baby’s health, giving Rora only breast milk wouldn’t be enough.
Therefore, unless it was time for Iris to breastfeed her baby, Rora would be with Cane. She would sleep on her crib in his study room, under Cane’s watch. He would go every now and then to bring her to Iris and waked her up.
The alpha literally didn’t trust anyone to be near his daughter, if it was not an urgent matter that he had to leave Rora, he would be seen with the baby all the time and even if he had to leave, there would be Jace or Ethan by her side and a few more warriors nearby.
Aliana suggested for Cane to look for wet nurse, so they didn’t need to wake Iris up every time the baby needed to eat, but the alpha refused, because that’s not what his mate wanted. He wouldn’t go behind her back and did something she did not approve of.
With that, Aliana dropped the matter and stayed by Iris’s side all the time with Hanna too, she had not yet met with her missy, at least, not when she was awake, since she would be sleeping when she came over.
Meanwhile, Grace would follow the alpha and stay close with the baby, but occasionally she would check on Iris and make her concoction for both mother and daughter.
"Cane, I think you need to give an explanation for the people," Ethan said in low voice because he didn’t want to wake up the little one. All the warriors had to report everything to him and Jace and only the two of them were allowed to enter the study room to relay the message, while Cane writing a few replies for the secret message to his spies.
Cane dropped the quill and stared at Rora’s sleeping face. She didn’t make a fuss and was very calm. She had been sleeping for three hours now and like usually, Cane would come over to check on her, making sure she was breathing...
He felt like he was on edge every time he did this. He dreaded the moment if there was something wrong with her.
"People keep asking whether Iris gave birth to baby girls and if one of the babies didn’t make it, there are a lot of rumors circulated among people about the birth of your daughter, Cane. People wanted to believe the baby is boy." Ethan grimaced, he had tried his best to control the situation, but with everything that was going on, he and Jace simply had a lot on their plates to deal with these rumors.
After all, people gossiped all the time and even though it might look harmless at this moment, but if you let it slide, this problem would snowball out of control like the problem with Iris. The sentiment of people and their hatred toward her started like this and it went out of control.
