Hours later, Su Xiaofei was moved to the ICU, leaving Lu Qingfeng feeling drained and exhausted. Han Zijun and Shi Mingli had given his wife the antidote that would effectively get rid of the cold poison in her body before it could take root deep in her bones.
Because she had fallen pregnant at the same time she was poisoned, the cold poison slowed down and was suppressed by the sudden change of hormones in her body. There was no sign that the poison had damaged any of her internal organs, much to Lu Qingfeng's relief, but they needed to wait and see how her body would react after being given an antidote with eighty percent efficiency.
"She'll get better." Bai Qingyue said next to him as they watched Yun Qingrong and Xi Qian feed the twins for the first time.
Lu Qingfeng glanced at her, surprised that she was still here even after Feifei had given birth to their daughters. For someone who once claimed that she didn't care about her daughter, Bai Qingyue surely was a hypocrite, but he wouldn't dare to say it to her face.
"I know, but I also know that Feifei would be upset that she couldn't be here. She loves the girls the most."
"And so do you." Bai Qingyue pointed out. "It must have been hard for you not to be by her side at this moment."
"Father wants to accompany her at the moment. I know it's been a while since they last saw each other." Lu Qingfeng tried to reason out. Seeing his wife in an unconscious state was testing his patience and resolve. He would rather be here than to overthink things again.
Bai Qingyue chuckled and said nothing, then they saw Xi Qian left the NICU room and joined them, leaving Yun Qingrong to tend to his youngest daughter.
"I'll need you to sign their papers. Have you decided on their names?" Xi Qian asked.
"Feifei decided to name the elder one, Qianyue and the younger one, Qingyan." Lu Qingfeng replied nonchalantly.
Xi Qian blinked while Bai Qingyue was rendered speechless next to him. She looked at him as if he'd grown another head over his shoulder.
"Are you sure?" Xi Qian asked once she recovered from the shock.
Lu Qingfeng shrugged before returning his gaze to his twins. Their names sounded perfect to him.
"It's what Feifei wants and I have no qualms about it." He knew the reasons behind their daughters' names and he had to admit that he liked them too.
"I see. Then I'll get the papers now. Why don't you two go inside and see the twins yourselves? You've been coming here frequently to check on them, but you haven't held nor talked to your daughters, not even once." Xi Qian suggested.
Lu Qingfeng hesitated as if he was conflicted whether seeing his daughters without his wife was right or wrong.
"You are stalling." Bai Qingyue commented, and Lu Qingfeng finally understood why his wife couldn't stand being in the same place as her mother. Bai Qingyue surely could be irritating with her straightforward attitude. She wasn't nearly as delightful as she thought she was.
"Fine. I'm going in." He conceded, knowing that his wife's mother would only annoy him further.
For the next few days, Lu Qingfeng could be found in the NICU, spending more time with their twins after seeing his wife first. Su Xiaofei still hadn't regained her consciousness and Han Zijun assured him that they wouldn't expect her to wake up too soon since they decided to keep her in a comatose state to allow her body to recover faster.
The twins were pulling through, but they were still very small and needed a lot of care to grow healthier. Lu Qingfeng was thankful that he wasn't dealing with all of these on his own.
The Yun family flew in from Qiying City just to visit Su Xiaofei and her twins. Qiao Fengying and Qiao Yuhan had also dropped by a few times to see them. Lu Qingfeng's brother-in-law seemed head over heels for his nieces the moment he met them.
When Yun Qingrong wasn't at Bluemedia and in-between meetings, she was with her granddaughters, talking in murmurs to both of them. Lu Qingfeng found her several times seated inside the NICU with one of the twins.
She would even read them nursery rhymes like any kind grandmother would do for their adorable grandchildren. He could see how much these babies brought happiness to his mother-in-law's life.
As for Bai Qingyue, she didn't return after Su Xiaofei gave birth. She continued her work as usual. The scandal did nothing to ruin her reputation and it was slowly fading after the overwhelming news about Ye Mingyu's affair broke out. Lu Qingfeng wasn't sure if the actress was avoiding meeting Qiao Fengying and his family, or if she was confident that her daughter would recover well.
"Was Feifei this small when you got her?" Lu Qingfeng asked, trying to strike a conversation with Yun Qingrong.
"Oh no. She was already a year old when I saw her at the orphanage. The director did say that Feifei was a preemie when they got her." She paused and gently brushed her fingertips over Lu Qianyue's head. "I think Xiao Yue looks a little like Feifei when I got her. I'm sure she'll start looking like her mother soon."
Lu Qingfeng smiled and then proceeded to take his shirt and held his younger daughter on his bare chest for skin-to-skin care, just like Xi Qian taught him. She said that it would help his daughters' feel warm and loved. Since Xiao Yan was smaller than her older sister, they paid more attention to her condition.
Yun Qingrong smiled and watched them from the corner of her eye. She had known that fatherhood would suit him. As for her daughter, she was wondering when Su Xiaofei would wake up. She was already missing a number of significant moments with her newborn babies.
