His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 2052

“I want my children, and I won’t repeat myself!” Lily looked around her, saying sternly, “I know you guys can hear me!”

“You’ve given birth to a boy and a girl. Both are safe and sound, so don’t worry, okay?” The doctor that passed on Alexander’s message took a step forward. “However, as they were born prematurely and have congenital deficiencies, we’ve placed them in the neonatal ward for observation. We’ll bring them to you once their conditions stabilize.”

Lily looked at him, not fully believing his words. “Is that the truth?”

“It is,” the other doctor answered, “What matters most now is for you to take good care of yourself. It’s the only way you’ll be able to see your children.”

“I don’t believe you. I want to see my children now!” Lily stiffened her neck and pointed a needle at it, unconvinced. “I’ll kill myself right now if I don’t see them.”

“Well…” After a momentary hesitation, the two doctors exchanged a look, and one said, “Ma’am, we need to ask for approval.”

“Do it then. I’ll wait!” Lily refused to make any compromise. She knew the decision was not theirs but had to threaten them to gain the upper hand.

The two doctors looked at each other, then turned and left the room. Since Lily was alone now, she carefully surveyed her surroundings.

The room was bare except for the necessary IV stand and the monitoring equipment. There was not even a stool or chair. She knew she was not in an ordinary hospital but a special ward prepared only for her.

‘If this room is just for me and we’re not in a regular hospital, how can there be a neonatal ward? Besides, even though I might’ve given birth prematurely, I was close to full term. How can my children have congenital deficiencies?

‘Not to mention, they had always been fine during my prenatal screenings. What they told me just now was an excuse.’

Lily was in pain and felt exhausted after undergoing surgery. Although she suspected her surgical wound seemed to have started bleeding, she hung on through sheer willpower. She knew she had no choice as it was her only opportunity to talk terms with them.

After a while, the two doctors returned, each holding a baby. One of them said, “Mrs. Russell, we’ve brought your babies here so you can look at them, but you must know you’re unable to care for them at the moment, given your condition.”

Lily eagerly wanted to get up when she saw her children but could not. However, the doctors walked closer so that she could take a better look at her two babies.

The babies had tiny noses and mouths. They were sound asleep and no longer as restless as they had been in her womb. Still, Lily knew they were her children based on their looks.

She knew they were hers, perhaps because it was her gut feeling, or maybe it was the inherent bond between a mother and her children.

“Let me—”

Lily reached out to hold them, but the doctors stopped her, saying, “You’re in no condition to hold the babies. Rest assured that we won’t hurt them. You have our word.”

“Why should I trust you?” Lily glanced at the doctors coldly, then gently touched the babies’ faces and took a deep breath. “I want to see your boss.”
