Tony brought the first-aid kit over in a short while.He immediately opened it, which was fully stocked with the basic essentials. He took out the herbal tonic and looked at the manufacturing date under the bottle. "These ointments are stocked for emergency purposes. Thank God it isn't expired yet."He then passed the herbal tonic to Molly."Thanks." When Molly was about to apply it herself, Ben stopped her."Just a second, Mommy."The triplets worked together with each other. "Mommy, you sprained your ankle, so you should rub it to treat the bruise.""I know. I can do it myself." Molly nodded. 'I'm a doctor. Of course I know what to do.'Ben argued, "No way. You're a patient, mommy. It isn't treatment time either. Besides, you're not strong enough. The pain will only worsen if you don't rub it now.""I think Uncle Sean should do it. He's strong, so he can definitely rub the bruise for you, and you'll heal faster. It will be inconvenient for you if you do it yourself, Mommy. I'
Sean immediately paused when he heard her. He looked up as his eyes fell on Molly. "Bear with me. If we don't treat it now, you'll swell even more. You'll have a hard time walking if that happens."Obviously, as a doctor, whatever he said was common knowledge for her.She nodded, afraid to look up and meet his eyes. She was embarrassed by the sound she made just now, especially when they were in such an intimate position where he was holding her ankle. Her ears burned as she looked away.So, Molly bit her lips and held the pain in, afraid she'd make a weird sound.Sean knew very well that an injury like Molly's should be treated as soon as possible. It would not benefit Molly if they delayed it. So, he brutally rubbed and massaged her ankle for some time.Molly froze in pain and was even starting to sweat.The triplets could not help but look heartbroken when they saw Molly in so much pain.A pair of tiny hands held Molly's hand. Molly looked up and realized that the hands belon
"Mommy..." The triplets blinked as they acted cute to make her give in.Molly crossed her arms with her brows arched, keeping her stance.It might have worked on her last time, but now that she had seen a lot of it, she was immune to it and could finally remain firm on her decisions.The triplets were immediately dispirited."It's okay. If they want to, they can sleep with me," Sean said.The triplets immediately looked up with their sparkling eyes. Their energy returned."No way!" Molly furrowed her brows. "We've bothered you enough by staying here. How could they sleep with you?"Sean responded, "But they are right. What's going to happen if they hurt you when they sleep with you tonight? They're still unfamiliar with this place, so they'll be afraid if they sleep alone. So, they could just sleep with me, I don't mind.""That's right!" Ben agreed wholeheartedly.Molly figured that they were making sense, so she could just agree with the defeatedly."Yay! Uncle Sean is the b
"Go to sleep." Sean smiled as he covered the triplet with the blanket after lying down.After everyone was lying on the bed, Tony walked out of the room and closed the door.Sean left a light open so the triplets would not have a hard time if they woke up in the middle of the night.Ben and Claudia hugged each side of his arms as they fell asleep, while Alex slept next to Ben.The triplet's cheeks puffed out, and they were having a good sleep. Their lips smiled as if they had a sweet dream.Sean had never felt that way before. He just found it wonderful as he breathed in the triplet's vanilla scent.He fell into slumber very quickly as well.In the middle of the night, he suddenly felt a weight on his chest and was experiencing slight breathing difficulties as if something was suffocating him. He slowly peeled his eyes open and looked down. All he could see was Ben, who was already sleeping on his stomach on Sean's chest. Claudia's legs were also on Sean's stomach as she sprawle
Molly nodded. That was exactly the case. After letting her bruise rest for a night, her ankle worsened. Not only had it swelled up more than last night, but it also started to show a purple hue. This meant that it was healing, which was a good thing."How was your sleep? They're a pain in the neck, huh?" She asked.Sean thought about last night's ordeal. "It was okay."Molly took the triplets back for them to freshen up while Sean changed his clothes and freshened up too.When he got downstairs, he noticed Grandpa Dave had brought Mr. Philip over. Molly had a bad feeling about it and asked, "No electricity still?""Nope," Grandpa Dave answered. As soon as he opened his eyes, he realized the house was empty, and Mr. Philip was the only one left with him. He learned later that the electricity got cut off last night, and Molly took her kids over to Sean's place to spend the night, so he came over as well.Molly looked resigned as she could not help but complain, "What's the deal wit
In the next two days, Molly had been taking a rest at home as her ankle was injured. She did not really go out, not even to Sean's house. He was the one who would go to her place for his treatment.As for the chores, both Alex and Mr. Philip were taking care of them.Alex was sensible and thoughtful, so he would bring the food up to Molly's room for her.After two days, the swelling on Molly's ankle reduced. It was back to normal, though it still had a purple hue.Knock, knock!Someone knocked at the door, and Molly went to answer it. It was Caitlyn."What brings you here?" Molly smiled as she invited Caitlyn in and sat down with her in the living room."I'm here today to tell you something important, Miss Molly." Caitlyn started to look serious.She was always laid-back, so it was obvious that the matter was something weighty when she became serious.Molly stopped smiling and became serious as well. "Tell me."' Molly nodded."A top racer overseas got into an accident. His le
"Come with me." Alex could not wait to know the results. He walked up to Caitlyn, grabbed her hand, and pulled her up from her seat to head upstairs with him.Caitlyn followed and told Molly, "Think about it, Miss. Molly."Molly nodded.Caitlyn held Alex's soft hands and went upstairs.They entered his room, and Alex asked her to sit on his bed as he asked anxiously, "How's the result?"Not only he but Ben and Claudia had also inched closer as they looked at Caitlyn with anticipation. But Alex had more on his mind. He was worried that the results were different than their expectations. After all, everything was just their assumptions.Caitlyn looked at them with a smile as she pulled out the report from her bag. "Congratulations, you're right."Alex took the report and looked at it. He did not bother about the details and looked straight at the results. It was an almost a hundred percent match, which fully proved that they were Sean's children!"The results showed that Uncle Se
Molly sent Caitlyn off and reminded her, "Let me know if there are any updates."Caitlyn smiled and nodded. After Molly returned, Caitlyn stopped and looked at the house next door before leaving.Molly closed the door and saw the triplets skipping down the stairs with a joyful look on their faces as if something good had just happened to them.Molly was amused as it was rare to see them so happy. "What's the good news? You all look so happy."Ben leaped to Molly and wrapped his arms around her arm. "Mommy, it's been some time since we came here. Since you're not busy now and great-grandpa is almost fully recovered, could you bring us out to play tomorrow? It's getting boring staying at home. Let's go out and play as a family, okay?"Claudia went forward and gently swung Molly's arm. "We haven't played outside for a very long time, mommy. Since great-grandpa is here, let's go out and play."Though Alex did not say anything, he was staring at Molly with his bright eyes, a pair of e
