Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 373

“Try to stay in as much as possible,” my dad warned us.

I nodded, my hand instinctively rubbing my belly, filled with unease as if someone were coming to snatch my babies away.

“Alright, they’re probably just passing by. I’ll stay in for a few days.” I responded.

Despite my words, everyone looked grave. Some emotional entanglements that should have ended long before just never seemed to go away from our lives.

That was about the health of me and my babies. I had to step out.

Dad had the car ready, and we set off for the hospital.

Upon reaching, I felt a bit hungry, but some tests required fasting, so I asked my dad to grab some food for me, while my mom helped with the payment and paperwork.

“Is it that serious?” I gasped.
