"Still, this time both of them seem to take after Qiong Xing."
"Yes. It seems my prayers were answered."
"What does that even mean? Can you choose that by praying?"
"I wanted Lingxiao to take after Qiong Xing."
Ignoring Albe's complaints and Iseul's wishes, they watched over the children.
Before they knew it, even Lian had joined Lingxiao in going over to poke Katarina and the others.
"So? What was the reason you came late?"
"Ah, well… I went to check on the children living in the forest…"
"That's not all, is it? That's nothing unusual for you."
How did she know?
As Qiong Xing was wondering what to do, Albe nudged him with his elbow as if telling him to hurry up and speak.
"Well, um… I had heavy blood loss during childbirth and ended up bedridden for a while. It took time to recover… and I also had to take care of Hui, so I couldn't really settle down…"
"Are you alright!?"
"!!"
