Chapter 1439 Sick Little Jun
"Don't think like that," Iris told the guilty Jiang Ying Yue. "That's unfair to you and Eldest Brother Yehan." She stroked Little Jun's pale cheek and sighed. "Little Jun should get better now that you brought him to the hospital before his condition worsened. I'm sure our little boy will recover soon. You should rest, too. You'll be able to think more clearly tomorrow and take better care of the child, so stop blaming yourself too much. I'll call the butler and have him send some change of clothes, toiletries, and other necessities from home."
Jiang Ying Yue bit her lip. "Thatdoing all of thatis not really."
Iris sighed. "Ying Yue, you know that more than being a member of our household's security team, you're also one of my closest friends, the mother of my G.o.dson, and soon, you'll also be Liwei and my official Eldest Sister-in-law after you marry Eldest Brother Yehan. You're also off-duty right now. No need to be polite with me, especially if it concerns my G.o.dson."
Jiang Ying Yue almost burst into tears again but she held it in. Instead, she smiled through moist eyes and said, "Okay. Thank you, Xiulan."
As much as Iris wanted to stay and help take care of Little Jun at the hospital today, she couldn't bear to leave her own babies at home for too long.
After helping make arrangements for Little Jun's stay at the hospital, Iris and Jin Liwei left together. Dom would stay for a few hours to run errands with Lin Yehan while Jiang Ying Yue stayed beside Little Jun.
Seeing his wife's expression, Jin Liwei sighed and rea.s.sured her, "Eldest Brother will accompany the mother and son at the hospital tonight. You don't need to feel guilty about not accompanying our G.o.dson. He has his own parents to take care of him. Our twins also need us, love."
"I know," Iris replied. "It just pains my heart to see Little Jun so sick like that. He's usually so lively."
"He'll be fine, love."
"Yes, you're right."
Their in-house doctor was also staying in the hospital tonight to help monitor Little Jun. Although this hospital was good, they still preferred their in-house doctor to help take care of their G.o.dson. She had all their children's medical records and knew their health better than anyone else.
Jin Liwei said, "I gave Jiang Ying Yue an indefinite leave to take care of our G.o.dson. She can return to work once he's back to normal."
Iris nodded and gave him a grateful smile.
He added, "Our G.o.dson is a very st.u.r.dy guy just like his mother. He'll get better soon, I'm sure."
"I hope so."
Then he said, "Eldest Brother also mentioned that after all this, he wants Jiang Ying Yue and Little Jun to move with him to the farm villa."
She frowned. "Big Brother and Big Sister Jinjing moved out with our little nephews not too long ago. And now Ying Yue and our G.o.dson are also moving out?"
Jin Liwei refrained from saying anything at the moment and allowed his wife to process her emotions. He knew that his wife's maternal instincts were running high ever since she gave birth. If possible, she wanted all the children to stay with them under the same roof.
When the Lu twins moved out, his wife almost got depressed. Fortunately, their Little Mochi and Little Matcha cheered her up. Of course, he also helped distract her in bed every night, so that she didn't have any time to feel depressed.
In the end, Iris released a long sigh. "If they want to move out, then so be it. As much as I want our G.o.dson to live in our house, I know that Eldest Brother Yehan wants to build his own little family with Ying Yue and Little Jun. In the future, they might also have more children."
Every family wanted to build their own home on their own terms.
She didn't want to ruin others' comfort and happiness for her selfishness.
After Lin Yehan and Jiang Ying Yue got engaged, Iris knew that there would come a time when the mother and son would move out of Dragon Palace. She had been dreading it all this time. And now, it was indeed happening. And so soon, too.
She had long treated Little Jun like her own son. Just imagining him moving out was enough to make her feel like her heart is being stabbed.
But no matter what happened in the future, she would always feel happy for her friend for finding her other half. All she could do as a friend was to support Jiang Ying Yue and hope that she would also find happiness in her spouse like how Iris found a blissful married life with Jin Liwei.
Most importantly, Iris and Jin Liwei would always be there for their G.o.dson, Little Jun.
Early the next day, Iris and Jin Liwei once again visited Little Jun at the hospital. They heard that the poor child woke up at dawn and vomited a few times. Fortunately, he was already at the hospital so the medical staff was able to make him feel better quickly.
"Mama! Papa! Mowning~" Little Jun greeted his G.o.dmother and G.o.dfather as soon as they entered the private room.
"Good morning, sweetheart." Iris kissed his forehead and checked his temperature at the same time.
Good. No fever anymore. And he looked a bit more energetic today.
But in her eyes, the poor child's eyes looked a bit too sunken, his cheeks a bit too hollow, and his body looked a bit too skinny.
Iris signaled at her husband who was holding several tiered bento boxes. They brought breakfast and some snacks prepared at home by their private chef. Normal ones for Jiang Ying Yue and Lin Yehan, while light, non-greasy foods were prepared for Little Jun.
"Hungry, Little Jun?" Iris asked.
"Yes.h.!.+ Junjun is veewy hungwy, Mama Shuwan!" (Yes! Junjun is very hungry, Mama Xiulan!)
Everyone smiled at the adorable child.
Iris insisted on feeding the child herself while telling Jiang Ying Yue and Lin Yehan to begin eating theirs.
