Chapter 423
Natalia looked into Adrian's eyes. For some reason, she could not see the excitement in his eyes to know the answer.
"What if I am?" she asked, giving him a doubtful look.
Adrian stroked her hair and replied,
"By hearing your question, I can guess the answer is no."
Natalia parted her lips when she noticed he let out a sigh as if he wanted to hear that answer.
'Noah opened his eyes!"
Aria let out in a louder voice.
Adrian and Natalia both turned to Noah and saw him blinking.
They sat beside Noah. Natalia held his hand and rubbed it.
'My baby, how are you feeling?"
Noah looked at Natalia and mumbled,
"Mommy, it hurts."
His low tone could be inaudible to others, but Alphas like Natalia and Adrian heard it clearly.
Natalia felt tears well up in her eyes.
"Where do you feel hurt? Tell Mommy."
Adrian moved closer to Noah and looked into his eyes.
Noah became silent as he looked at his father.
'Does it hurt in your head? Uncle Benjamin will bring your medicine soon. Don't worry."
Noah pursed his mouth, trying to show his father that he was a strong kid. After all, when Adrian used to train him, his first words were, "No matter how much you are in pain, you cannot show others that you are weak; it will only make them believe that you are incapable."
Natalia caressed Noah's hair and kissed his forehead.
"You will be fine, my baby."
Natalia's words gave Noah some power. Aria began to cry as she noticed her brother shaking inside the blankets.
A few minutes later, Gamma Benjamin came into the room. He noticed Adrian was sitting on the bed.
He immediately bowed his head and said,
"Alpha."
Adrian took a look at the medicine and motioned to Benjamin to give it to Natalia.
Benjamin walked up to the bed and handed it to Natalia.
Natalia quickly grabbed it and gave Noah the medicine that the doctor had prescribed for the night.
Benjamin left the room after spending some time there. Adrian did not move from his son for a moment.
As it took longer to ease Noah's body temperature, the night felt long.
When Natalia saw Noah's fever was decreasing, she felt relieved.
Aria dozed off in Adrian's chest as he leaned on the bed's headboard.
Meanwhile, Natalia ran her fingers through Noah's hair. Her eyes were fixed on him. She was worried for his health.
"He is your son. Don't worry about him. He is stronger like his mother."
Adrian's words caused her to turn her head to look at him.
"Hmm? My son? Not yours?"
Natalia glanced at Adrian who was holding Aria in his arms.
Usually fathers loved their daughters more than their sons.
"Of course both are mine. But he got your eyes, the powers, and the abilities. I can't forget how his mother came to me when I was almost dead in the war.
Natalia smiled at him. "I can do anything for you, Adrian."
While holding Aria in his arms, Adrian moved closer to Natalia and kissed her forehead.
Natalia blushed and looked at their twins. She mumbled softly,
"Once we have another child-"
"No."
Adrian unexpectedly interrupted her, which shocked her. She looked at him and asked,
"What?"
Gazing at the twins, Adrian uttered,
"We don't need another child, Natalia. We are happy with our twins."
