âGood girl, mommy is right here.
â Looking at Destineeâs sad face, Lucinda felt her heart ache.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
She felt a depth of sadness she hadnât felt in a long time, but she held it back before Destinee.
On the other end of the phone, Kyson comforted Destinee, âThere, there.
The pain will fade in a matter of seconds.
â
Destinee cried for a while, and perhaps due to her fever, she soon drifted off to sleep in Kysonâs arms.
He adjusted the camera to focus on Colby, assuring Lucinda that Colby was doing well.
Colby had fallen asleep in Sonnyâs arms, and Sonny remained still, not daring to disturb his peaceful sleep.
Under Lucindaâs gaze, Sonny chuckled, trying to provide comfort.
Kyson turned the camera again, offering gentle reassurance, âDonât be too disheartened, Lucinda.
Babies are very delicate, and itâs common for them to catch a cold or run a fever.
After the injection and a good nightâs sleep, their fever will likely improve by tomorrow.
If you have work commitments, thereâs no rush to return.
Iâll set aside my work for the next few days and take care of them, ensuring this doesnât happen again.
â
âThank you so much.
Iâll treat you to dinner when I get back.
â
Kyson grinned.
âAlright, I am looking forward to it.
Remember this when you return.
â
Lucinda nodded.
She then hung up the video call.

The tears that had welled up in her eyes flowed freely.
She sat alone on the edge of the bed, shedding tears
of sadness.
She alone understood the hardships of her pregnancy.
Back when she was in Eurfrica, she had to secure the super virus serum and also protect her babies.
Her nights were restless and she was plagued by severe morning sickness at six weeks into her pregnancy.
Upon her return home, she faced a series of challenging situations involving the Simmons family and nearly broke down multiple times.
Her journey during pregnancy with Colby and Destinee was marked by immense suffering, and her children were her source of strength.
As she gazed at Destineeâs sad face earlier and heard her sobbing due to a fever, it pained her deeply, as if she shared the same suffering.
She also felt self-reproach, blaming herself.
With a sigh, Nathan knelt before her, gently placed his hands on her knees, and apologised, âIâm sorry.
Itâs my fault.
If youâre still upset with me, you can keep hitting me.
Please donât be sad.
â
Lucinda remained silent, her eyes lowered.
He picked up a tissue from the bedside table and delicately wiped away her tears.
Her expression softened, and she no longer felt the urge to hit him.
As he continued to wipe her tears, Nathan suddenly recalled their plan to go shopping the next day.
Unwilling to let go of the idea, he asked, âHoney, are we really leaving early tomorrow? We talked about going shoppingâ¦â
Lucinda stared at him in disbelief.
âThe babies are unwell, and you still think about shopping?â
She couldnât understand his reasoning and found it absurd.
âIf you donât want to leave, I can go back on my own.
You can stay in Aldoria for a few days.
â
Nathan furrowed his brow.
âYou want to return alone without me? Why?
