Chapter 727: Chapter 727: I Have Triplets (17)
Thank you for giving birth to the Triplets.
Thank you for finally being willing to be with me.
The universe is so vast, and because of you, I no longer have to wander aimlessly.
Ruby Gregory didn’t speak, but the hands hanging by her sides were gently raised and swung around Steve Burton’s waist.
A gentle flutter came from the depths of Steve’s heart. Then he pulled her towards him, held her a little tighter, and spoke again, “Ruby, I’m sorry.”
I’m sorry, the old me did not know how to love.
I’m sorry for all the hardships you had to endure for the sake of the Triplets.
Only time knows how much you mean to me.
Steve felt Ruby tightening her grip around his waist. He couldn’t help but lift the corners of his lips in a smile and he just quietly embraced her.
As time ticked by, after who knows how long, Steve gently let go of Ruby, gently picked her up and laid her on the hospital bed.
Ruby, who was already tired, fell into a deep sleep as soon as she touched the bed.
But Steve wasn’t at all tired. He sat by her side, focusing on her face, looking at her again and again, never tiring. Finally, unable to resist, he leaned down, kissed her forehead, then touched her cheek, all with an air of tenderness and delight.
Though this kiss was fleeting and his touch gentle, it still made Steve restless. He’d been restraining for over seven months. He kissed Ruby’s forehead and finally left the room.
Steve stood in the corridor for a while, cooling himself down before heading to the warming room.
The nurse stationed at the warming room stood up when she saw Steve. He gestured for her to stay put and walked towards the Triplets’ incubators.
Only a day ago, he had looked at these three little beings thinking they were Edric Reat’s children. His heart ached. Now that he knows these babies are his flesh and blood, his feelings when he looked at them were completely different – trembling and excited, and with a touch of nervousness even.
He knows well that the Triplets, even when awake, wouldn’t be able to understand him. But he still waved at Chise, slowly opened his mouth, and soundlessly mouthed, “Chise, I’m Dad.”
He then tirelessly moved to Candice’s incubator, lent on the cover, and planted a small kiss on it while saying the same thing, “Candice, I’m Dad.”
Finally, he ran over to his most favorite, Third-born’s incubator, kissed it twice in a row, and then grinned, saying with satisfaction and delight, “Third-born, I’m Dad.”
Once he’d greeted all three of them, Steve stood in front of the incubators, looking at one, then another.
The triplets still slept soundly. Suddenly, Third-born moved his tiny mouth twice as if he was dreaming about something. This sight evoked a strong paternal love in Steve.
This is how it feels to be a Dad.
It was as though a chunk of maltose candy was melting in his heart.
It was filled with pride, satisfaction, and happiness.
