Chapter 743: Side Story 4. Endless Journey - 26
It took a while for the children to calm down. No matter what their parents said, they kept crying and hugging each other. Bassena had to tell the physician to come later because the children were truly inseparable.
It was fascinating how Byul forgot the itchy feelings from the mana coming out of Lucy. Perhaps the anxiety and sadness were far greater misery than the mana prickling his skin. He clutched on Kar tightly, burying his little face in the older twin’s hospital shirt.

When their parents laid the sleeping child in the adjacent bedroom, Nari drowsily climbed the bed and slept beside Lucy.

The twins looked at each other before Kar answered carefully. "Us?"
