Elliot covered Sheena with a blanket, gently guiding her back into a comfortable position.
He whispered soothingly, "Honey, don't worry about it, and just sleep. I'll keep watch tonight. If Asher wakes up, I'll prepare his formula. Remember, when you were recovering from childbirth, I took care of all these things. I'm more familiar with them than you are."
After he reassured her, Sheena did not refuse.
"Okay. It's good for you to burn off some of that excess energy."
Elliot leaned in once more, kissing her soft lips as if he could not get enough of her.
Sheena obediently closed her eyes and fell into a peaceful slumber.
Elliot stayed by her bedside, ensuring she was truly asleep before turning to Asher's crib.
For those who slept soundly through the night, it seemed like a mere moment had passed. However, Elliot had remained alert and half-awake throughout the night, and the night felt like years.
Sometimes he wondered if neither he nor Sheena were born into affluent families, if he did not have a military background, and if Sheena did not have the responsibility of being a family head, would life be easier and more relaxed for them as an ordinary couple raising adorable twins?
Nonetheless, these were just wishful thinking and fantasies.
Both he and Sheena had too many duties to shed.
Lost in his thoughts, Elliot drifted off to sleep in a daze.
At 5 a.m., Elliot was awakened by Asher's cries.
Years of military training had made him alert, and Asher's cry, though not too loud, immediately awakened him.
He quickly picked up Asher, soothing him gently.
Carefully, he glanced back at Sheena.
Fortunately, she was still sound asleep, undisturbed by Asher's cries.
Holding Asher, Elliot left the ward quietly and headed to the adjacent nursery room, where he expertly prepared formula for the baby in a calm and orderly manner.
Elliot had barely slept for two hours when Lionel arrived.
Since Sheena was still asleep, Elliot made a hushing gesture, signaling Lionel to tread lightly and speak softly.

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
