Chapter 469: Postpartum Discomfort
Eric furrowed his brows and kissed the back of Ella’s hand with a hint of worry. Just then, Chloe and the others rushed in, beaming with joy as they heard the news—Ella had safely delivered a pair of twins. Their laughter filled the room, their smiles broad and uncontainable.
Of course, no one was happier than Eric and Lucas.
After spending a short while with Ella, Eric headed to the neonatal observation room to check on the two little ones.
The tiny babies each wore wristbands to ensure there were no mix-ups. They lay quietly in their small incubators, their little bodies snugly wrapped in warm blankets.
Although they had entered the world covered in blood, the nurses had cleaned them up thoroughly. They had a lot of thick hair, and even though their facial features hadn’t fully developed yet, it was already clear they were handsome little boys.
It was hard to tell whom they resembled.
With high, prominent noses, chubby little cheeks, tiny mouths just slightly larger than a fingernail, and charming brows, Eric couldn’t take his eyes off them. However, thinking of Ella still resting, he reluctantly left the observation room.
When Eric returned to the hospital room, Ella was still asleep. Checking the time, he realized it had been over half an hour since she was brought out of surgery.
"Don’t worry," Lucas said with a cheerful smile. "Mothers are always exhausted after giving birth. It’s normal for them to sleep longer."
"I know," Eric replied, taking a deep breath. He sat down by her side and held her cold hand again.
Time seemed to crawl.
