My Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 251

It was bedtime. Pingan clung on to Venus and wouldn’t leave. Kerry said: “Come on, Pingan. You need to sleep with me tonight.”

Pingan was displeased. He grabbed Venus’s arm tightly and ignored Kerry.

Kerry said in a soft voice: “Pingan, mom’s wound is still not healed. She needs to be left alone. Come with daddy. You are the best baby in the world.”

Another reason why Kerry didn’t want Pingan to sleep with Venus was because Venus had been using various medicines recently which could affect the baby’s health adversely.

A few minutes later, Pingan kissed on Venus’s forehead and said: “Mom, please get well soon.”

Venus nodded, as if she was also a baby.

Kerry bent over and kissed Venus on her forehead and said: “Go to sleep now. Call me if you are not feeling well.”

“Sure.”

Kerry then held Pingan up and took him to the guest room. There was only a small bed but it was enough for him and the baby.

“Okay, now, we need to sleep.” Kerry put Pingan on bed.

Pingan pouted his mouth. He didn’t want to sleep with Kerry. Kerry looked into his eyes and asked seriously: “Pingan, why don’t you like daddy?”

Pingan’s eyes were sparkling. Of course he couldn’t understand Kerry’ s question. He was less than one year old.

“Forget it. Just sleep.”

Pingan covered himself under a quilt.

Kerry removed his shoes and laid beside the baby. The baby looks so small. And Kerry was worrying that he may injure the baby when he was deep in sleep.

Kerry and the baby could hardly be alone together, and Kerry thought he should take the chance and bond with the baby. But he didn’t know how.

Pingan’s eyes were still wide open. Obviously he also couldn’t sleep.

Kerry took out his phone and searched: How to bond with the baby before sleep.

He found many answers. Some people suggest that he should play games with the baby, but Kerry was afraid that Pingan would get too excited. Some people say that he should tell a bedtime story, and Kerry found this suggestion feasible. Because he watched a lot of movies, and in the movies, the parents always tell their baby bedtime story before the baby goes to sleep.

Kerry then looked at the baby and stroked his hair gently. He said: “You and I have known each other for a long time but this is the first time we sleep together. Do you want a bedtime story?”

Pingan looked at him with confusion and said: “Story?” Pingan obviously had no idea what story is.

Kerry felt sorry for him. No one had ever told him a story before. But that also means he could be the first one to tell him a story.

“Okay, I am going to tell you a story about a man called Pangu. Pangu is the one who opened the universe. It was a long long time ago, and there was nothing in the universe. It was just a black void. And then......”

Kerry’ s voice was very deep, and before the story was over, Kerry found the baby was deep in sleep. His eyes were closed. His eyelashes are so long, like two little brushes. And he smells very sweet, like milk.

Kerry stared at the baby unblinkingly. It is such a joy to simply look at the baby. Kerry thought. He wished that moment could last forever.

Kerry then kissed the baby on his forehead and turned off the light. Kerry was worried that the baby may roll off the bed, so he didn’t fall asleep deeply, and he checked from time to time to see whether the baby was still there.

It was three o’clock in the morning. Kerry woke up again to check on the baby. But the moment he opened his eyes, he was wide awake. Because the baby was no longer on the bed.

He turned on the light and checked everywhere but the baby was nowhere to be seen. Kerry broke out into a cold sweat. He left the room and went into Venus’ ward, and then, he was shocked to the core by what he saw.

“I hope so.” Kerry said. “Oh, I almost forgot. If Hao Nangong comes, don’t let him get into the ward.”

“Sure.” Henry said seriously. He knew how much trouble Hao had caused for Kerry and Venus.

It was eight o’clock. A doctor and a nurse came to Venus’ ward to check on her. They all exclaimed in delight when they saw Pingan. They found Pingan exceptionally cute. And the doctor said: “The baby looks so much like his father.” He then looked at Venus and said: “How was your sleep last night? How do you feel?”

Venus didn’t say anything. Kerry walked closer to her and said in a soft voice: “Did you sleep well last night?”

Venus nodded. “Yes. Yes.”

Kerry smiled at her. He then looked at the doctor with a serious expression and said: “She went to sleep at nine o’clock last night. And she didn’t say she was in any kind of discomfort.”

“That’s good. Now she needs to be put on a new drip.”

“Is that still necessary?”

The doctor shot him a sideways glance and said: “Of course it is necessary. Don’t worry. We know what’s the best for her.”

Kerry knows nothing about medicine. So he could only listen to the doctor.

After everyone left, Kerry said to Venus: “I’ll go to work. You stay here and do what the doctors tell you to do.”

Venus smiled at him. She then went to play with Pingan.

Kerry looked at them. He realized now he has a bigger responsibility. He needs to take care the both of them. But he doesn’t feel stressed. He feels very happy.
