But this sleep was restless; she was preoccupied with her two little ones, and also tormented by postpartum uterine contractions. Roughly two hours later, Duo'er opened her eyes.
The first thing she saw was Tan Zhenghong dozing off by the bedside.
The labor started at midnight, and by the time it was over, the day had already broken, wearing out everyone involved.
So, he let everyone else go to rest and stood watch by her side.
This fella... Her ordeal just now hadn't been for nothing, after all.
"Wife, how do you feel?"
Tan Zhenghong asked softly, almost afraid that speaking too loudly would startle her.
Qiao Duo'er shook her head, "Nothing much, just the pain from the lochia expulsion. How about the babies?"
"They cried out just after they were born, but they fell asleep as soon as I soothed them. I was thinking of feeding them some breast milk in a bit," he said, his voice brimming with excitement.
It was his first time becoming a father, and he was thrilled.
