My Wife is a Sassy Queen

“Mom, you should lie down. You never care about your health,” Li interrupted them.

“You must really be well since you have started nagging already,” Lil complained as she went to the bed.

Jonathan helped her as she was struggling on getting up given the cast on her hands and feet, and back.

Liam Preston came inside without knocking just as she had laid down.

“Lil, Jo, Li, how are you guys?” Liam asked, huffing. He had clearly rushed inside.

“Ever heard of knocking, Liam,” Lil asked.

“It’s just you, why should I?” Liam shrugged.

“How is she?” Liam asked Li.

“I am an adult and I am right here,” Lil grumbled.

“You always downplay your injuries.” Liam retorted leaving her speechless.

“Mommy, Daddy Liam is right,” Li exposed her as he added, “Daddy Henry said that she has two hairline fractures on the arms. Ligament tears on her ankle and sprain on her back. It will take 6 weeks to heal and she should not overexert herself during this time.”

Jonathan was shocked when the kid called both Liam and Henry Daddy, and the way he said it was also weird.

Liam explained, “Henry and I are their godfathers.”

Jonathan was visibly relieved. Lil did not know what to think.

She looked at Liam quizzically and Liam raised an eyebrow at her in dare. Clearly, he knew Jonathan was her husband and the father of the twins. She had never mentioned it, but he was an army Colonel, he would have investigated her when they had just met.

Henry came inside after he knocked on the door.

“Oh Liam, you are here?” He said and turned to Jonathan, “Why are you still here?”

Jonathan was embarrassed. He knew he had no reason to stay back. He smiled at Li and told him to take care before he left.

Henry thought the atmosphere was weird in the ward and looked at them inquiringly.

“How do you know him, Henry?” Lil asked.

“Oh, Jonathan, James, and I are childhood friends. We all went to the same school. Later Jonathan and James went to study abroad. And I came to Maple City to study medicine.” Henry answered truthfully.

“Do you know Vivian Stone?” Lil asked.

“She is the daughter of the Stone family and will inherit the Stone family business after her father retires. She also has a luxury boutique that she opened. I have heard that it has several issues like plagiarism, low quality. Mostly she is Jonathan’s rumored girlfriend. He despises her, we know because we are his friends. But he does not refute the rumors.”

Henry shrugged and thought something was wrong. When did these two aloof people want to gossip?

Lil asked, “You said his blood type is the same as Li.”

Henry nodded, “Yeah. And they are compatible too. Almost all the blood transfused to Li over the years was donated by him.”

Lil did not know what to think, “He is generous.”

Henry scratched his head, “Not really. He happened to be here coincidentally when they were born and he offered help. He would regularly donate blood every three months just in case. It became a routine after that.”

Liliana slumped on the bed, not knowing what to think.
