Chapter 843 - Protect Together

Dragon Palace Home #10.

It was already past midnight when Iris and Jin Liwei returned home from the hospital. With Jin Liwei's tight security team and the assistance of his powerful AI children, nobody who shouldn't know was aware that the celebrity Iris Long went in and out of the hospital.
