Chapter 1973: The Nursery
In the midst of idle chatter, Anderson and Alisha arrived together. Alisha couldn''t contain her
excitement and pushed open the door, bouncing into the room.
"Mommy, you''re finally awake," she eximed. She had already heard from the nurse outside that
her mommy had woken up, which filled her with extreme joy. So, as soon as she entered the room,
she made a beeline for the bed. Just as she reached the bed, Luther gently lifted Alisha up and
asked softly, "Is it okay if I bring you to mommy''s bed?"
"Yes," Alisha happily danced in his arms. Joyce opened her arms, and Luther handed Alisha to her.
After spending some time together, as Alisha began to forget the memories of before, there were no
longer any barriers between her and Alisha, and the mother-daughter bond became very close.
Joyce was overjoyed, stroking Alisha''s hair as she asked, "Hmm. Mommy has been sleeping for a
long time. Was Alisha good while mommy was sleeping?" Alisha nodded vigorously, saying, "I was
very good, except for not going to school these two days. I''ve been obedient the whole time,ing
to see mommy every day." Joyce chuckled, "So good. When mommy is discharged, we''ll y
together."
At this moment, Anderson stood at the side, a hint of worry in his expression.
"Mommy, how are you feeling? Are you okay?" He didn''t believe the nonsense that postpartum
mothers needed to sleep. His mommy had been in aa after giving birth, and his daddy had
been by her side day and night. Despite his worries, he dared not show them, so as not to affect the
emotions of others, especially Alisha, who didn''t understand. Mommy and daddy were both in the
hospital, and although grandma had rushed over, she also spent most of her time at the hospital.
He had to take care of his little sister. It was his responsibility as a big brother. Joyce, feeling for
him, pulled Anderson to her side. "Mommy is fine. The doctor just came and did aplete
checkup on mommy. Don''t worry."
Anderson''s tense little face finally rxed, and he shed a smile. Cecelia then suggested, "Now
that everyone is here, let''s go to the nursery to see the babies." "Yes! I want to see my little
brothers!" Alisha, upon hearing this, was the most delighted and promptly wriggled out of Joyce''s
embrace. Joyce also stood up, supporting the two children on either side. "Let''s go."
Leaving the ward, guided by a nurse, they arrived at the designated nursery. The hospital had set
aside a separate room for them, spacious and bright, with tworge incubators inside, separated
from other babies who needed temporary care. Four nurses were taking care of the children in the
nursery. Joyce walked in, and the nurses respectfully nodded to her.
She approached the incubators slowly, trying not to make any loud noises that might startle the
babies. As she drew closer, her heart beat faster, unable to contain her excitement. Looking at the
two babies lying in the incubators, she felt her heart melting. They were small, with round faces and
rosy cheeks, sleeping soundly. Their eyes were tightly shut, like two lines.
Their eyebrows curved like two crescent moons, and their mouths formed a smiling curve. They
seemed to be dreaming of something good. Luther came up behind Joyce, lightly cing his hands
on her shoulders. "The one on the left is Wilson, the older brother, and the one on the right is
Cullen, the younger brother. As we agreed before, I have already chosen their names."
Joyce nodded, her gaze gentle, carefully examining the children and unable to look away. "They
look so alike, almost identical. How will we differentiate them, the brothers?" Alisha, now leaning
against the ss of the incubator, observed as well. "They are really tiny, almost the size of my doll.
When will they grow up?" Joyce gently touched Alisha as she said, "Look closely, the brothers have
some differences. Wilson has a different earlobe from Cullen. Wilson has a red birthmark on his
earlobe." Cecelia, too, smiled andmented, "Alisha, don''t worry, the brothers will grow up soon."
Alisha, fascinated, eximed, "Really, mommy, the brothers'' ears are really different. Now I can tell
them apart!"

Anderson was also curious and looked at the brothers in the incubator. "How long do they have to
stay in there? When can theye home with us?" Luther replied, "A little over a week, and then
they''ll be able to go home."
The nurse then approached and reassured, "Mr. Warner, we have already fed the babies a milk.
Currently, they are in stable condition. Please don''t worry. We will take good care of them." Luther
nodded. "But I really want to hold them," Alisha pouted, looking disappointed.
"I can feed the babies milk when theye home." Anderson, speechless, exined, "They are not
toys. Feeding them is not as simple as you think, just sticking a bottle in their mouth. They could
choke." "Oh," Alisha said, somewhat dejected. Ceceliaforted her, "When the brotherse
home, I can hold you and help you feed them. How about that?"
"Okay, that''s great!" Alisha''s face lit up with happiness. Joyce looked longingly at the babies in the
incubator. She wanted to hold them as well, but being born early, it was safer for the babies to stay
in the incubator to avoid infection. Understanding her thoughts, Luther held her shoulder,forting
her, "We wille to see them every day, once in the morning and once in the evening."
Joyce nodded. "Mommy, quick, look, the brother has opened his eyes!" Suddenly, Anderson
eximed with excitement. Everyone quickly followed Anderson''s finger and looked over. It was
Wilson, slowly opening his eyes and looking towards the outside of the incubator.
"Wow, mommy, the brother is looking at me! He''s looking at me!" Alisha shouted in excitement.
"Shh, keep your voice down," Anderson quickly cautioned, "Don''t startle the baby. Although he
opened his eyes, his visual and nervous systems are not yet developed. He may not be able to see
you. He is just looking in our direction."
"Okay," Alisha epted the new knowledge with a nod, acknowledging that her brother was right.
Joyce''s heart softened even more as she looked at her two sons through the incubator, a smile
unconsciously ying on her lips. The nursery was filled with endless warmth.
