Liu Chunhua entered, bringing some fruits with her. She gasped as she saw the sight.
“Jinhai, you are bleeding! What are you doing?”
Sher rushed up to her and saw the mess. “How did the glass break? And the blood…”
Jinhai didn’t say much.
Nana felt relieved that she came. She didn’t want a scene, so she quickly said, “Nothing, Mom. The glass fell, and he bent to pick it up, but he hurt himself.”
Jinhai bore his gaze in her, but Nana didn’t look back at him.
Liu Chunhua shook her head. “How can you be so careless? You don’t pick up glass shards with your bare hands. I will quickly call the nurse to bandage your hand.”
“Not needed, Mom. I will take care of it.” Jinhai said.
Liu Chunhua sighed. “Now go and do it quickly, or you may get an infection. Go.”
Jinhai glanced at Nana one last time before he slowly left.
Liu Chunhua kept the fruit basket and smiled. “I brought some fruits for you, dear.”
Nana faintly smiled.
Liu Chunhua naturally sensed the tension in the atmosphere when Jinhai was here just now. She sat beside her and said, “Nana, I know you are angry with Jinhai, and you have the full right to do so. Just know that I am with you. Jinhai has made a grave mistake this time, and now he must learn. Don’t forgive him so easily this time.”
Nana felt so lucky to have an understanding mother-in-law like her. Her eyes turned misty. “He lied to me again…”
Liu Chunhua softly patted her head. “I understand, dear. It must be hard now than ever since this time, it involved Jian and Nian too. But you do what you feel is right.”
Nana gently nodded.

A few days passed by, and both Nana and Serena started to recover. Jinhai and Jianyu and all the elders decided to deal with the Tangs later. They were caught now anyway so they could take their own sweet time. First, they wanted Nana and Serena to completely heal and get discharged before they dealt with them and the man lurking in the shadows. Right now, they only concentrated on their recovery.
Nana felt a lot better, so she decided that she wanted to meet Serena and her little prince.
With Shin’s help, she went into her ward and saw that Jianyu and Huo Xiao Fan were already there who was playing with the baby.
Jianyu smiled as she came.
Huo Xiao Fan stiffened a bit as she saw her. Nana was surprised too, but her presence here was naturally understandable.
“I remember I have something to talk to Shen. I will come back in a while.”
She quickly left.
“Nana!” Serena exclaimed. “Finally!” she got up in her bed. “I wanted to meet you for so long.” Then she nervously said, “I-I am sorry about Mom…”
Nana shook her head. “I understand.” She slowly walked to her side. “How are you now? I heard that your delivery was quite complicated.” She asked, concerned.
Serena nodded. “I am feeling much better now. But what about you! Your head…” She looked at her head, wrapped with bandage, and pursed her lips.
Nana smiled. “My injury is fine now. It just hurts a little now and then.”
“W-what about the twins?”
“They are good too.”
Serena held her hand in hers and said while tears threatened to come out. “Nana, I am sorry. I couldn’t help you much. If I-“
Jianyu sighed.
But Nana cut her off. “Are you an idiot, Serena? You already helped me a lot, considering your pregnancy. If you hadn’t blocked Tang Ning and hit her with the stick, then it could have been much worse. It could have been already late. In fact…” she guiltily lowered her head, “I should apologize. I was clearly in a much better condition to save us, but I-“
“Idiot. Tang Ning suddenly attacked you and even banged your head on the wall. It is a miracle already that you could even retain your consciousness for so long. You had to protect Jian and Nian too. Don’t blame yourself.”
“You both are idiots.” Jianyu sighed and rolled his eyes. “How could you two blame yourselves?”
Nana glared at him and smacked him hard. “Who asked you?”
He shrugged.
“Ehhh…baa…”
The little one in the crib shifted and opened his eyes.
Nana’s eyes brightened. “Aaaaaahhhh!!! The baby!” she hopped onto near the crib and bent her head to take a good look at him.
The baby slowly opened his eyes, and their gazes met. He softly giggled that instantly melted her heart like butter.
“Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! He is so cute!” Her eyes sparkled in delight.
Serena lovingly smiled as she gazed at her son.
The baby was wrapped up warm and comfortable in his soft blanket. He was excited as soon as he saw his beautiful Aunt.
“Can I hold him?”
Jianyu laughed. “Of course. You don’t need to ask.”
Nana beamed. She carefully carried him in her arms and made him comfortable. He immediately rested his chest on her chest and stared at her.
“Awww…he is so cute! His eyes are just like you, Serena.”
She swung him in her arms, which he seemed to enjoy it as his giggles grew louder.
Serena smiled.
“Hm, but his lips and nose are like Jianyu.”
He grinned. “Isn’t it?”
Nana chuckled. “Yes. Ah! Our children will grow up together. I am so excited. We can do so many things with them!”
Jianyu nodded. Serena’s heart was filled with warmth, thinking about the future.
“Oh, by the way, did you decide any name for him?”
Serena sighed. “I didn’t.”
Jianyu smiled. “Well, Mom has too many ideas about his name and still haven’t come to a conclusion. But I have. Zixin. Chen Zixin.”
“Beautiful. It’s really a wonderful name.”
Serena was also surprised. She also couldn’t seem to find a suitable name for him, but she instantly liked this name.
Chen Zixin…
She liked it. No, she loved it!
“En. It’s a lovely name.” Serena gently smiled.
Jianyu snorted. “Of course, it is. It’s my choice, after all.” He shrugged as if it was so obvious.
Her mouth twitched while Nana rolled her eyes.
