Sean immediately paused when he heard her. He looked up as his eyes fell on Molly. “Bear with me. If
we don’t treat it now, you’ll swell even more. You’ll have a hard time walking if that happens.”
Obviously, as a doctor, whatever he said was common knowledge for her.
She nodded, afraid to look up and meet his eyes. She was embarrassed by the sound she made just
now, especially when they were in such an intimate position where he was holding her ankle. Her ears
burned as she looked away.
So, Molly bit her lips and held the pain in, afraid she’d make a weird sound.
Sean knew very well that an injury like Molly’s should be treated as soon as possible. It would not
benefit Molly if they delayed it. So, he brutally rubbed and massaged her ankle for some time.
Molly froze in pain and was even starting to sweat.
The triplets could not help but look heartbroken when they saw Molly in so much pain. A pair of tiny
hands held Molly’s hand. Molly looked up and realized that the hands belonged to Claudia. Claudia’s
eyes watered as she whimpered, “Mommy’s okay.” Molly forced out a smile and consoled her children.
“It’s alright. It doesn’t hurt.”
Alex and Ben ran over and surrounded her.
Tony watched them, saying, “Dr. May, your triplets are so cute and thoughtful. How nice.” “Of course,”
Molly smiled and patted their heads. “Though they worry me at times, they’re mostly very good kids.”
“Which of us is your favorite, mommy?” Ben asked.
“You all are. Every one of you is my baby,” Molly said warmly. Ben pouted. “No, you have to pick one!”
“Oops, you’re in trouble,” Tony could not help but laugh. With the triplets’ interference , Molly’s attention
was shifted to them, and it did not hurt as much anymore.
After some time, Sean stopped and said, “We can stop here.”
“Sure, thank you.” Molly let out a long sigh of relief.
Sean responded, “No worries.” The room was filled with the strong smell of the herbal tonic, which was
rather unpleasant. The triplets thanked Sean, too, not forgetting to praise him. “You’re amazing, Uncle
Sean. You even know how to do this!”
Sean smiled. “You’re flattering me. This is nothing.”
Ben’s eyes widened as he thought of another idea. “Uncle Sean, do you sleep alone?” “Of course. Who
else would I be sleeping with?” Sean laughed.
The answer was obvious.
Ben’s eyes sparkled and answered immediately, “Then, can I sleep with you tonight?” Before Sean
could respond, Molly quickly objected. “Ben! What are you saying? How could you disturb someone
else? You’ll make others feel troubled if you make requests like this.”
“Uncle Sean is not just ‘someone else’! We’re close.” Ben then started to act cute. “Please, Uncle
Sean?”
Claudia immediately chimed in, “I want to sleep with Uncle Sean too! Uncle Sean makes me feel safe,
just like a daddy.” Alex agreed. “Good idea. Mommy’s injured. We might hurt her if we slept with her
tonight.” “You can sleep in the guest room,” Molly said flatly.
