His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

1581  Mommy is Here

After speaking with the doctor, Jin Liwei and Iris' expressions became grave.

It seemed that Jin Liwei's eyes had lost all hope. Iris hugged his waist, trying to comfort her husband. He didn't reject her. His arms wrapped around her, and he hugged her tightly.

"The doctor says that Grandma Li still needs to undergo many tests," Iris whispered. "Maybe the prognosis will change and turn for the better."

"En." Although he made a sound of agreement, the tone wasn't optimistic.

Before leaving, the doctor told them that Grandma Li's condition appeared to be quickly deteriorating despite finally regaining consciousness. Of course, more tests were needed to ascertain her exact condition.

"Are you going to tell Mom and the others?" Iris asked.

Jin Liwei shook his head. "Let's wait until the test results come out."

She nodded while looking at the patient's room. "I don't think we'll be able to come home tonight after all. I don't like breaking promises to our children."

"I need to stay here, love. Grandpa Lu's old. My mother and brother aren't that reliable."

"I know."

"But you should go home tonight. The kids will be happy to see you even if I'm not there."

She looked at him, observing his face. His eyes were bloodshot. There were dark circles around his eyes. His skin tone looked dull. He hadn't shaved in the past two days.

Truth be told, if he weren't her husband, he wouldn't be able to physically attract her with the way he looked right now. But who told her to love this man?

Even when he looked exhausted and unkempt, she still felt the stirrings of attraction. Sighing, she rested her head on his chest.

She could hear the rhythmic beating of his heart. He looked quite pitiful. If possible, she wanted to stay with him at all times, but their children needed her.

In the end, she could only harden her resolve to be with their children instead of her husband. "I'll go home tonight."

"En." He kissed her forehead.

She looked at him. Her expression was full of warning. "You better take care of yourself or I'll have my big brother drag you home whether you like it or not."

At this moment, Lu Zihao entered the suite again. He managed to hear the last part of what she said.

"I'll take you home," he announced.

Jin Liwei looked relieved. "Thanks."

"I'm not doing it for you but for my sister's safety."

"I know. But still, thanks."

Lu Zihao snorted. Then his eyes automatically landed on Grandpa Lu who was still in the patient's room with Huang Yuyan and Jin Chonglin. "While I'm gone, have someone watch over the old man. Make sure he eats regular meals and gets enough sleep."

"En, don't worry. I'll personally check on Grandpa Lu if needed."

"Hm." Lu Zihao looked at his sister. "You ready?"

"Wait, Big Brother. I need to speak with the others first."

Iris went to say goodbye to Grandpa Lu and the others. Chen Fei looked like she wanted to say something.

"What is it?" Iris asked while organizing her bag.

Chen Fei sighed. "I'm tempted to go with you. I've had enough staying in the hospital to last me a lifetime. But I just can't leave my stupid idiot alone. What if he really parades in the street naked? Just thinking about it is enough to give me white hair!"

Iris chuckled. "Just stay here. Treat it as practice for when you need a maternity leave in the future."

Chen Fei rolled her eyes but surprisingly didn't retort. "Go on then. Kiss the kids for me."

Jin Liwei walked Iris and Lu Zihao down the underground parking lot. The bodyguards already secured the area to avoid any paparazzi and fans from seeing Iris Long.

"Remember what I told you," Iris said while standing on her tippy-toes to give the corner of Jin Liwei's mouth a kiss. "Take care of yourself while I'm gone."

"En. I'll call you."

Lu Zihao interrupted the husband and wife. "Hurry up, Evelinka. We have to leave now if you want to arrive home while the brats are still awake."

She glanced at her brother before hugging her husband's neck. Jin Liwei's arms wrapped around her waist. The two kissed each other.

Lu Zihao glared at them but couldn't do anything else. He was tempted to drag his sister away from her husband but managed to restrain himself. He could only snort and look away, pretending that the boring parking lot was interesting.

"I'm ready, Big Brother," Iris announced.

Finally.

19:48

Jin Liwei was reluctant to let his wife leave, even though he was the one who insisted on letting her go home to be with their children. It took everything in his power to let her go.

"Answer me when I call, love," he reminded her.

"Okay." She smiled at him.

Jin Liwei watched as the vehicles carrying his wife, brother-in-law, and bodyguards left. Even when they were already out of sight, he stayed standing in the parking lot for another ten minutes before returning to the hospital with great reluctance.

###

Dragon Palace Home #10.

It was already late in the evening when Iris and Lu Zihao returned. The mountain winds were quite strong so the pilot had to fly the helicopter more carefully.

"You're back, Boss!" Dom welcomed the two of them at the front hall with the butler. "Big Brother Boss, you're here, too!"

"The twins?" Iris asked while handing the butler her sweater and handbag.

"They just fell asleep in your bedroom," Dom replied. "They wanted to wait for you but couldn't stay awake past their sleep time."

"My wife and brats?" Lu Zihao asked next.

"They're in your room, Big Brother Boss! I think Little Misha and Little Dima are already asleep, but Sis Jing should still be awake."

Iris had always kept the room that Lu Zihao and Long Jinjing used when they lived in the mansion for them. It was no longer a guest room but the Lus' exclusive bedroom instead.

"Hm." Lu Zihao nodded before glancing at his sister. "See you tomorrow, Evelinka," he said in Russian.

"Good night, Big Brother," Iris said.

She and Dom watched Lu Zihao leave. Then they headed to the master suite together. At the same time, Iris updated Dom about what happened to Grandma Li.

Dom's eyes watered. "I prayed every day for Grandma Boss to wake up. My prayers have been answered. Hallelujah! But if what the doctor says is true, then Grandma Boss doesn't have long left to live. I'm going to cry, Boss!"

Iris sighed.

They finally reached the master suite. Iris headed straight to the bedroom where the nannies were watching over the sleeping twins.

"Welcome back, Young Madam."

"The twins missed you so much, Young Madam."

Iris smiled at them. "Thanks for your hard work. You may go rest for the night."

Once the nannies left, Iris leaned over the large crib bed to kiss her babies' chubby cheeks.

Perhaps sensing her presence (or maybe smelling her scent), Little Mochi's eyes flew open. He immediately burst into tears upon seeing her.

"Mama! Mama!"

It felt like someone squeezed Iris' heart. "Ah, my baby."

She carried Little Mochi and immediately started coaxing the wailing baby who refused to let her neck go.

"Ma?" Little Matcha rubbed his sleepy eyes. Upon making sure that it was indeed his mommy, he sat up and reached his little arms to her as well. "Mama!"

"Yes, baby. Mommy's here." Iris sat on the crib bed.

Good thing that Dom already unlatched and slid open one side of the crib bed's railing. Iris was able to sit down and hug both her babies at the same time. The twins had already grown too heavy for her to carry together.

Her sons hugged her neck and wetted her shoulders with their tears. Little Mochi was bawling as if there was no tomorrow. Little Matcha wasn't as loud but his soft whimpers made Iris' heart clench.

"I'm sorry, my babies. Mommy wasn't here with you. I missed you two so much! Your daddy also misses you. He can't wait to hug and kiss you soon!"

Little Mochi: "Mama! Wuwuwu!!!"

Little Matcha: "Ma…wuwu…."

At the moment, the twins didn't care about their daddy at all. They just wanted their mommy. They missed her so much! It felt like forever since they hugged and kissed her.

Tears pooled in Iris' eyes. She had been hesitating whether to leave her husband at the hospital, but now, she was glad that she went home to their children.

Jin Liwei could take care of himself, but their sons were still babies. They needed their parents.

Iris and Dom worked together to coax the twins to sleep again. It took a long time, but the two never lost patience with the babies.

Once the twins fell asleep, Dom watched over them while Iris went to take a much-needed long, hot shower.

After she put on clothes and returned to the bedroom, Dom told her, "I'll sleep here tonight."

"Okay. Thanks, Dom."

Of course, what Dom meant was that he would sleep on the chaise longue and not on the bed beside Iris. Dom went to the walk-in closet and took some extra bedding and pillows to put over the chaise longue.

Iris' phone rang. It was Jin Liwei.

The husband and wife chatted with each other. Iris fell asleep while still talking to Jin Liwei.

"Dom, I'll leave my family to you," Jin Liwei said after a while.

Dom took the phone from the sleeping Iris. "Don't worry, Sir Boss!"

The phone call ended.

While the wife slept with the kids at home, Jin Liwei sat beside his grandmother for the entire night.
