Mark praised her, "She is amazing, isn't she?"

Antonio smiled as well. "She is our kid, after all."

Ru Xin didn't notice that Antonio said the word 'kid'. He asked anxiously, "How is she doing?"

Mark replied, "She is resting. It's better not to bother her."

"Can't we look at the babies?" Shintaro tried to peep inside.

Mark shook his head. "Not now. Let us clean the room first, then you can visit the mother and the children." Afterward, he looked at Antonio and told him, "Bring some comfortable clothes for missy to wear."

"I'm on it." Antonio left. He soon took out two cotton maxis.

Mark took the clothes inside. Carlo pull the curtains around the bed so that Mu Liang could clean her body and put clothes on her.

Meanwhile, Pedro commented, "She bled too much. Osiris, you can give me two packs of blood, right?"

"Yes, I can." Osiris started to roll up his sleeves.

Mu Liang looked out of the curtains and said, "I can give my blood."

Seeing his pale expression, Pedro sighed. "Your blood won't do, boy. You clean her body first. Be careful when you move her body. She is still injured." The Cobra had special blood that was mixed with certain elixir. Mu Liang didn't. So, his blood wouldn't help her to gain strength quickly.

"…Yes, I know." Mu Liang looked at Mu Lan's exhausted face. He felt ache in his heart.

Carlo prepared another bed for her. She was cleaned and was put on new clothing. Later, Mu Liang carefully carried her and put her down on the newly prepared bed. Meanwhile, Pedro took two packs of blood from Osiris and transferred it to Mu Lan's body after she was taken to the new bed. After that, he declared, "All done."

Everyone sighed in relief. They cleaned the fourth child and Carlo made him fall asleep. Four newborn boys were sleeping peacefully. Carlo looked at them and complained, "They look like hairless monkeys. So ugly!"

"Pft!" Mark chuckled. "They do have hair on their heads though."

Osiris' eyes were shining. He praised, "They look so adorable when they sleep. They resemble their father."

Carlo said, "Don't be so sure. When they will grow up, their faces will change. I hope they won't get their father's character." He scoffed.

Mark chuckled. "You are asking for the impossible."

"But I wished for one of them to be a girl." Osiris sighed. Then, he turned around and left. Before leaving he said, "I'm going to pray to God and thank Him for such wonderful gifts."

Mark commented, "Is he going to pray or sleep? Though he looks okay to me even after losing two packs of blood."

"If you were as lazy as him, you would look alright too," Carlo said. "Then again, we are special. Seeing the lazy dude like him, I suddenly want to know how good he is in action. I've never seen him fight."

"Me neither," Mark admitted.

Pedro cleaned himself and said, "Everything went well." He looked at Mark, "Tell Antonio or Shin to prepare cots for the babies. I already brought enough materials. They are in the storage room. Tell them to use it."

Mark nodded and left. Carlo asked, "Shouldn't we take these hairless monkeys out?" He pointed at the kids.

"First we need to mark them before they are handled by others or we won't be able to recognize who is who." Pedro opened a drawer and took a permanent marker. He was prepared it when he saw the ultrasonography result for the first time. He opened the lid of the marker and then wrote numbers in the kids' towels.

"Good idea." Carlo asked, "How about giving her some medicine before feeding her children? It will good for them."

Pedro told Carlo, "When she wakes up, first, I'll make medicine for her and then she will feed her kids. Let the kids sleep for now or they will cry for food."

Carlo nodded. "Alright, let's go." He gave another look at the couple and then left. Pedro cleaned the whole room and then left as well. He didn't forget to close the door.

After they left, Mu Liang stroke Mu Lan's cool cheeks. He kissed her forehead and whispered, "I'm sorry for making you go through this. If I knew you would be hurt like this…" He didn't continue. He put his head in the crook of her neck and stayed like that for a long time.

Hours later, Pedro and Carlo came to check. They found Mu Liang in the exact same position. When Mu Liang heard some noise, His eyes were red. He looked up. "What is it?" He asked in a hoarse voice.

Pedro silently went sat down on a chair and began to prepare a medicine. Carlo answered, "Get up. We need to wake her up. It's time to feed the children."

Mu Liang looked at the unconscious Mu Lan and asked, "Can't she sleep a little longer?"

Carlo replied, "After she eats her meal and feeds the children she can sleep. She has nothing to do except these two things."

Mu Liang tried to say, "But she is hurt-"

"She isn't as weak as you think she is. She was in even worse pain than you saw today. Also, being a mother isn't the easiest job in the world. Since she was able to go through all that, have a little faith in her."

"I have faith in her." Mu Liang said. He wanted to say more but controlled himself knowing arguing with Carlo wouldn't lessen her pain.

Carlo used telepathy to wake her up. Mu Lan slowly opened her eyes. She felt as if someone dragged her inside a black pit and she was falling and kept falling. She felt her body seemed lighter than a feather. Her eyelids felt heavy. Her eyes first landed on Carlo. She opened her mouth and slowly said, "Carl, have you died as well? How come? Are we in hell? We can't be in the heave, right?"
