His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 2026

Austin put Dominic down and carefully removed the silver needles. This step was much simpler and less painful than inserting the needles earlier. After removing the needles, Austin sterilized them, turned the older man over, and covered him with a clean blanket.

Dominic's eyes remained tightly closed. He did not move and seemed asleep as Austin cleaned him up and covered him.

Austin sighed as he watched Dominic’s peaceful face with closed eyes. Then the former sat beside Dominic and held one of his hands. Austin quieted his mind and took his granduncle’s pulse.

Austin already had the answer but wanted to confirm it by feeling Dominic’s pulse. Although the older man’s pulse was slightly faster, it was much calmer than before.

Austin’s fingers moved lightly. Judging from Dominic’s pulse, it seemed his organs were relieved. Something heavy seemed to press on them before, but everything felt light now. At that point, Austin knew he had undoubtedly succeeded.

He gently covered his granduncle again and finally revealed a joyful smile. Austin got up to tidy the place and let the older man rest.

‘I still have a big mess to clean up next door, and I’ll likely be swamped in the coming days.’

…

Lily stood before the wall clock and stared at the time without moving. It had been two days since they drew her blood.

The test results should have been out, but these people remained unhurried. They continued bringing her food and drinks as usual, but the experiments seemed to have become more frequent.

Lily wondered if it was related to the commotion she had caused that day or if they had their own plans.

‘R10 has already been handed over, but they probably haven’t used it yet. Only one step remains, and it involves me.’

She could guess the approximate outcome but did not know the mastermind behind everything. She gently caressed her belly as the due date was approaching. The twins inside were unusually calm, showing no signs of restlessness. They seemed to be able to hold their breath.

‘They resemble their father in this aspect. Thinking of it now, Alex can also endure a lot.’

Lily did not know how her husband was doing these past few days. She could not contact him and had no news except… Suddenly, the door made a sound and opened from the outside. The same doctor and nurse as before appeared.

The doctor was less fearful of Lily and appeared more natural, perhaps due to their recent interactions. He said, “Ms. Christian, we’re here for your examination.”

"You're certainly dedicated," Lily said mockingly.

Although the doctor and nurse were merely following orders, Lily could not reach the people behind the scenes and could only vent her frustrations to them.

The doctor did not react to her words. Instead, he expressionlessly took out his equipment and then looked at her. "Ms. Christian, we’ll conduct a prenatal examination today, so we must go to the bedroom."
