Chapter 593: Prepare for ten even if you only need two
Natha said we would have to wake up several times during the night, but when I opened my eyes, the sunlight had already streamed into the room. It seemed like I was sleeping so soundly that I didn’t even wake up in the middle of the night to pee or drink water as usual.
Granted, I had sleeping time to catch up after the long journey to and from the realm of nature, but...
Was I sleeping that deeply I couldn’t hear my baby’s voice?
"Huh?" I got up and looked to the side. Jade was curled on my side, but Shwa and Natha were no longer there. "Where are..."
The balcony door creaked open, then, and Natha stepped inside, playing with a giggling Shwa with his finger. He raised his head and smiled widely when our eyes met. "Ah, you’re awake?" he closed the balcony door slightly with the heel of his foot. "I was feeding Shwa on the balcony so he could get some sunlight."
I see...Natha must have taken Shwa and fed him each time he woke up in the middle of the night, giving no chance for the little boy to scream or cry and wake me up. For all I knew, he probably didn’t sleep at all, just watching us.
That being said, he looked as fresh as a well-rested demon. Still...
"Why didn’t you wake me?" I asked while reaching out my arms as they came closer.
"You looked so exhausted," Natha pointed at the curling little boy on my side with his chin. "Him too."
"Nng..." as if sensing someone talking about him, the little boy wiggled slightly and clutched my nightrobe, mumbling with a deep frown. "Jade...like...together..."
I looked at Natha, and both of us burst into laughter, which we instantly stifled because the boy was groaning in his sleep. We smiled and kissed the sleeping boy, caressing the green hair until Jade stopped scrunching his nose and made a peaceful sleeping face.
