It took Jennie many days to persuade her husband and everyone else to allow her to ease back to work. Her bed rest might have already ended but her miscarriage scare traumatized not only her but also her husband and all of their loved ones. They kept their eyes on her like a hawk at all times and never allowed her to overexert herself in anything. This time, she no longer dared to be careless. She didn't want to risk losing her babies anymore.

Nevertheless, she still resumed all the work she had that got held back due to her unexpected bed rest. Even if she couldn't complete all the tasks as fast as she wanted, this snail pace was still better than lying down on the bed and doing nothing. At least now, she could again start helping to solve some of the problems that their family had been dealing with for a while now.

Jennie was busy inside her computer room at the moment. She was examining and analyzing Luka's system. This was something that she had been itching to do ever since Luka evolved to become the power flood itself. She put Luka to sleep mode while she was studying him and tweaking the codes in his system along the way to consolidate the changes made after his evolution.

Afterwards, she created a temporary program to seal most of Luka's power flood abilities. She needed more time to study and test out these new abilities in a controlled environment in order to ensure that Luka wouldn't harm himself while using them. At the same time, she wanted Luka to learn how to control himself.

Becoming the power flood meant that Luka was now like a dormant nuclear weapon. He literally had the power to destroy the modern world as everyone knew it.

Therefore, Jennie and Lisa needed to teach Luka on how to resist the temptation to unleash his new destructive powers. They didn't want a situation to occur where the world ended just because Luka threw a tantrum over something trivial.

While Jennie was absorbed in what she was doing, she felt a familiar strong warmth embracing her from the side. It took a few seconds for her to focus on the present. Her mouth curved up into a soft smile.

"Hon," she murmured and received her husband's kiss on the lips.

"Snack time," Lisa said while sweeping his eyes all over his wife's body to make sure that she was alright.

Jennie didn't miss the movement of his eyes. She knew that he was worried about the level of radiation exposure inside her computer room especially now that she is pregnant. She is worried, too.

"Look, I'm wearing the anti-radiation clothes that Amanpio made and Ashandra designed for me. I'll be fine."

"I know, love. But don't stay in here for too long just to be sure."

"Okay."

Lisa kissed her cheek. "Let's go. Auntie Reina cooked for you."

Her eyes lit up.

"Okay but let me finish this up first." She pulled her husband to sit beside her.

He frowned, not wanting for her to spend any more time inside the computer room today. "Love—"

"I'll be done in five minutes, no, three minutes. Promise. I'll just reinforce Luka's priority command access to only the two of us. Remember when he almost tested out his new power flood abilities after getting Big Brother's permission? We can't let that happen again. His system became laxer with these commands after he evolved. I need to fix this right now."

"Ah." Lisa sighed before nodding. "Luka is still grounded because of that incident. That cunning kid." He clicked his tongue while shaking his head.

"Good thing that Louis detected it immediately and informed me just in time."

"En. Our eldest AI son is very responsible and reliable."

The white cat chasing some virtual butterflies in one of the large computer monitors heard him and started bouncing in excitement. "Hihihi! The cute and mighty Louis is a good big brother! Right, Mommy and Daddy? Meow~"

"Yes, you are."

"En."

Louis became excited for a while after receiving praise from both his parents. Fortunately, he didn't disturb his mommy's concentration with his endless chatter.

"Done!" Jennie announced, sighing in relief. Then she called in a soothing voice, "Wake up, Luka."

A black cat appeared beside the overexcited white cat on the computer screen. "Greetings, Mother and Father. Luka is awake now."

"What about the cute and mighty Louis? Luka, you big meanie! Don't forget to greet your big brother! Meow!"

Luka blinked his golden eyes. He was silent for a full five seconds before saying "Greetings, Big Brother Louis" to his older brother with some reluctance in his tone.

Jennie chuckled while Lisa gave their AI son a stern look. Luka shrank his head towards his fluffy body and widened his eyes in an effort to act cute. Jennie laughed and patted her husband.

"Let's go for snacks," she said.

"En." He gave Luka one last look. "Be good."

"Understood, Father."

The husband and wife left the computer room while their AI children powered down the devices inside without needing their mommy to remind them.

"How's Jasper Leung?" Jennie asked as they were walking along the hallway.

"He's back in Singapore," Lisa replied.

"What did you think about his performance as an intern?"

"Not bad."

She tilted her head to the side, silently asking him to clarify.

He did. "He's not naturally brilliant but he's easy to train and executes instructions well."

Jennie listened to her husband listing off Jasper Leung's strengths that he displayed during his short internship. Afterwards, she asked, "So Jasper meets the qualifications that you're looking for in your plan?"

Lisa didn't answer right away. Finally, he said, "For now, yes. But he needs more training and he has to grow as a leader faster. The Youngs won't wait for him to become stronger. He needs to catch them unaware. Only then would my plan be considered as effective."

"I trust in you."

"Thanks, love."
