Jennie wanted the driver to stop and to return near the hotel where her husband was in danger of being contaminated by the desperate woman, Diana. This time, however, the driver hesitated in obeying her order. He glanced at Jae instead, silently asking him what to do.
Jae gestured for him to continue driving before facing Jennie to explain the situation. "Boss, I called your doctor when you fainted. The doctor said to bring you to the nearest hospital and she'll follow us as soon as possible. I think that she already left the mansion and on the way to the hospital using sir boss' helicopter."
"What else did she say? Why do I need to go to the hospital? I can just have her examine me at home."
"Boss, the doctor is beginning to worry about your tendency to faint. If it's once or twice, it will still be okay since you have a history of fainting even before you got pregnant. But you're now collapsing too many times than she's comfortable with it—than we're all comfortable with. She says that frequent fainting episodes during the first trimester might have negative effects."
Jennie paled, her hand immediately touching her stomach. "Negative effects? What negative effects? Be more specific!" Her voice had become high-pitched and her eyes quivered with worry.
"Please calm down, boss. Don't stress yourself. It's bad for the—"
"Tell me!"
Jae became even more worried seeing her starting to freak out but he still told her what the doctor said. "Like increasing the risk of you delivering earlier than your expected due date."
She relaxed a little but not completely. "That's still okay. I already expect to give birth earlier than my expected due date anyway because I'm carrying twins. Multiple babies tend to arrive early, I'm told."
"Twins?!" V exclaimed. His shocked voice sounded almost like a shriek. "Y-you're having...twins? Twins?!!!"
"Ah." Jennie forgot that her brother-in-law was still with them inside the vehicle. "Forget that I said that."
"How can I forget something like that?!" V's eyes dropped to her still flat tummy. His shock was turning into amazement and excitement. "That small belly is really carrying twins? Like seriously? Whoa! Big Bro is really capable! Twins in one go. Wow. Holy shit. I'm going to be an uncle to twins. Twins! That's two babies! Wait till Mom and Grandma hear about this. They're going to treat you like their ancestor for giving our family two heirs in one go. Oh, I almost forgot about the old man. Grandpa will surely act more excited than Mom and Grandma."
She threw him a warning look. "Don't tell them! Not yet. Lisa and I want to keep it a surprise. You're not supposed to know it this early either." She started squeezing Lili in her embrace while sighing. "Not only that, you aren't supposed to know about Louis and Luka's existence either. If you get kidnapped and tortured someday because of your knowledge about my AI children, I'll feel guilty."
V became dazed. "Kidnapped...t-tortured...."
She reached out and patted him on the shoulder. "It'll be fine. Lisa and I will surely do our best to save you."
Now V felt like it was his turn to faint. He got a hold of himself but still shivered as several imaginary scenes of him being abducted by villains and torturing him in a dark place for days, maybe even months, to get information about his AI nephews out of him played inside his mind. His head whipped to the dashboard monitor where the white and black cat AIs were staring back at him.
"Can you make me forget about the two of you?" he asked in a panic.
"Meow?" Louis tilted his head to the side and looked at his Uncle in confusion.
In contrast, Luka threw his uncle a look filled with disdain. He didn't speak to him directly, turning his furry little head to his mother and asking her instead, "Mother, is Luka's paternal uncle stupid? Does he think that Luka and Big Brother Louis have the ability to make him forget about us? Father is so smart and yet his younger brother asks dumb questions like this. It's not classy."
"Y-you..." V sputtered but was unable to say anything coherent as he was too taken aback by his AI nephew's poisonous tongue.
Luka wasn't done yet. "Doesn't he also realize that his words are insensitive? He wants to forget about Luka and Big Brother the day he learned about us so that must mean that he doesn't like us. Luka will ask Father later to help me demand compensation from this paternal uncle for emotional distress."
"Gasp! You're right, Luka! Oh no! Now Louis feels so sad! Uncle V doesn't like us little kitty babies even though the cute and mighty Louis and my little kitty brother Luka are his nephews! We are one big happy family but he doesn't want us! Wuwuwu! Louis will tell Daddy later that Uncle V is such a big meanie to us kitty babies. Meowuwuwu!"
Seeing his nephew refusing to even look at him and literally crying a river on the dashboard monitor, V immediately felt guilty about his thoughtless words. Luka's poisonous tongue was intimidating so he chose to comfort the sobbing Louis first. The problem was that he was helpless and had no idea how to deal with a crying AI kitten.
If it was Little Jun who was crying, V could coax the little guy with some treats. How to coax virtual kittens? Virtual candies? He didn't have any!
"Uhm...I...uh." In the end, he could only turn to Jennie in defeat and ask her for help.
She sighed at him and shook her head before murmuring comforting words to both Louis and Luka.
V could sense that she wasn't too pleased with him at the moment for upsetting her two AI children, making him feel even guiltier. Then his eyes caught Jae at the backseat staring daggers at him.
"Hmph! Making the babies cry! Are you still human?!" Jae turned his face away, also refusing to look at him.
