The triplets had their baby bottles in their mouth as they climbed up the bed using their hands and legs.
Each of them was in a different position. Alex’s head was resting on the pillow while holding his bottle,
and he was taking big gulps. He looked at Molly with his dark pupils that contrasted sharply against the
white of his eyes. He was very dependent on her.
Ben’s eyes were shut completely, and his lashes were long and fine. He was playing with the corner of
his pillows with his tiny hands. As for Claudia , she crossed her tiny leg as it swung left and right. She
was not drinking her milk properly, but she was rather amused by herself. She laughed, and her eyes
turned into crescents. She looked just as adorable as a baby in paintings.
Molly was overwhelmed by their cuteness. She could not stop herself from pinching Ben’s tiny but
meaty hand. She picked up her clean clothes from the side and prepared to shower. She stood up and
said, “Go brush your teeth and prepare to sleep after you guys are done drinking your milk. I’m going to
shower now.”
The triplets nodded. After they saw Molly leave the room, their eyes became restless, and the three
pairs of eyes that looked identical to each other met.
Alex asked quietly, “We’re here now. What should we do to make mommy and daddy closer?”
The crafty ideas in their tiny heads kept coming and going.
“Ah!”
Molly’s shout could be heard from the bathroom when they were still thinking.
The triplets heard that and immediately put down their bottles. They sat up from their beds and looked
toward the bathroom. “Mommy, what’s wrong?” They asked.
“I slipped,” Molly responded.
‘Slipped?’ The triplets became worried suddenly. They continued asking, “How are you? Did it hurt?”
“Don’t worry. I’m fine.” Molly’s voice came from inside the bathroom. She sounded relaxed as she tried
to calm her kids down. In fact, she fell rather hard, and she twisted her ankle. Her ankle was already
swollen as she said that. She only acted like she was fine because she did not want her kids to worry
about her.
Alex turned around immediately and ran out of the room with his tiny legs. He ran to Sean’s room and
started to knock on the door. “Uncle! Come over now. My mommy fell down.”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
He had no time to think of anything else after something bad happened to his mom.
The door opened very quickly.
Sean was in his pajamas while sitting in his wheelchair. “What’s wrong?” He asked. Tony, who was in
the other room, heard him. He opened the door to see what was happening. “Mommy fell down in the
bathroom,” Alex said worriedly.
Sean immediately followed him to the bathroom in the guest room. Ben and Claudia were standing
outside the bathroom, looking concerned. “Dr. May, are you okay? Do you need help?” Sean asked.
Molly did not expect that he would know about this as she responded hastily, “I’m fine!”
They waited outside. The door was opened from the inside after some time. When Molly came out in
their pajamas while limping, the triplets rushed over to help her.
Alex was the first one to notice her injury. He frowned and said, “Mommy, your ankle is swollen!”
“Do you need a doctor?” Tony asked immediately.
!
Molly was amused by what Tony said. “Mr. Hill, have you forgotten? I’m a doctor myself. Why would I
need another doctor to help me? I’m alright. I just slipped and twisted my ankle, that’s all! Look at how
worried you guys are. Do you guys have any tonic or ointment that could help with a sprained ankle?
Just give me that, and I’ll be fine.” She lurched toward the bed while saying that. “Tony, go get the
herbal tonic,” Sean said.
Tony took his order and went out the door.
