Just before Elliot could come up with a half–hearted response, Sheena quickly added, “And don’t forget how much trouble you got into before for keeping things from me. If you dare to trick me again this time, I’ll make sure to give you a piece of my mind once I’m feeling better!”
This threat proved to be quite effective.
Elliot thought for a moment and then confessed honestly, “Nana, do you remember when I contracted the $404?”
“Yes, I do.”
He lowered his gaze and continued, “Now that the babies are born, I want to take them to the lab for examination when I have the time. I also want to check on your health once you’re out of the hospital.
”
This matter was indeed important as it concerned the future of their little family.
However…
Sheena’s expression turned serious, filled with concern. “But, Elliot, they’re still so young. It seems unfair to subject them to those tests at such a tender age. I can’t bear the thought.”
“Nana it’s best to check early. If there are any issues, we need to inform Yosef and start treatment preparations early.
Sheena simply could not bear letting the babies go through such tests at this age.
“Let’s wait a bit longer. They’re still too young, and they’re too delicate to handle any suffering. Let’s just observe them closely and be vigilant, and that should be enough.
Elliot nodded and offered her a spoonful of soup. “Alright, let’s go with your suggestion.”
Sheena turned her head, declining the offer.
Seeing this, Elliot sighed and swallowed the soup himself.
After watching him for a moment, Sheena glared at him and asked, “Eli, were you contemplating how to sneak the babies off to the lab without me noticing?”
His hand froze mid–scoop, and he quickly looked up with a sheepish grin. “That’s impossible! Of course I’d discuss it with you first. The babies aren’t just mine. I can’t make such decisions alone.”
“That’s right.” Sheena relented, albeit reluctantly.
Elliot breathed a sigh of relief, realizing he narrowly avoided getting scolded again. If he had said the wrong thing, he would probably have to endure another round of punishment!
Sheena noticed every little expression on his face, suppressing a smile.
A mischievous glint flickered in her sparkling eyes, but she quickly concealed it, maintaining her

composure.
After spending a few days in the hospital, Sheena was ready to be discharged and return home to start her postpartum care.
Elliot helped her put on thick woolen socks, wrapped her in a fur coat, and placed a white fox fur hat on her head before carrying her home.
With Sheena needing to focus on her postpartum care, Elliot found himself overwhelmed with tasks.
Apart from occasionally assisting Sheena with work from the Lawson Group, he had to handle various responsibilities for the Jenkins Group, take care of the two newborns, and ensure Sheena received
nutritious meals.
Elliot was handling everything single–handedly as if he had superhuman powers.
However, after several sleepless nights, Elliot looked worn out, with dark circles under his eyes.
Sheena could not bear to see him like this, so after discussing it with him, they decided to hire a
reliable doula to take care of the babies and alleviate some of Elliot’s burdens.
Lionel spent several days carefully selecting from the best agencies, ultimately choosing a young girl. Then, he brought the doula to Sheena’s bedside for her approval.
Sheena sat leaning against the headboard, cradling Adora in her arms as she looked up at the nanny.
The girl was indeed young, with slender arms and legs. However, she was reputed to be the best in the
agency.
Although part of her face was bandaged and her facial features were rather ordinary, her eyes were strikingly beautiful and clear.
As Sheena locked eyes with her, she felt a strange sense of familiarity, but she could not quite place it.
Nevertheless, it was not solely based on appearance. Sheena simply did not feel very fond of the girl. She calmly looked at the doula and inquired, “What’s your name? And what happened to your face?”
