Chapter 214: 214: I Feel It.

By the time bathing was over, Lord Zark quietly sat down under the cover with little Zay, slowly cleaning him off with a piece of clothing.

Lord Vale was also sitting in the corner, with the triplets sitting calmly in front of him now.

The triplets had firm smiles on their faces as they sat and allowed Lord Vale to clean their bodies and dry them off.

Lord Vale looked haggard and exhausted. He was completely drenched in water and foam from head to toe after chasing and bathing the little ones.

And now he was a complete mess, sitting there and cleaning the cubs while they smiled as if they hadn’t done anything at all.

"Papa, meat," Neris smiled as Lord Vale cleaned off his hair.

"Yes, Papa," Nyeon nodded in agreement.

But Lord Vale could only sigh before suddenly sneezing aloud.

"Oh, Papa, what is wrong?" The three little snakes turned to stare at him, tilting their heads.

Lord Ash smiled as he shook his head. "I guess the great snake has finally caught a cold..."

The triplets immediately left their positions and climbed onto Lord Vale to check on him.

Neris ran his hand over his forehead, Nat touched his nose and mouth, while Nyeon moved his hand over his chest and body.

"Papa is wet too," Nyeon observed.

"Yes, yes!" Nat agreed as he rushed down and picked up the cleaning cloth Lord Vale had been using for them. The other two also helped carry it as they struggled to clean Lord Vale with it.

When Lord Vale sneezed again, the little ones stared at each other and blinked before immediately cleaning him faster and faster.

"Well, at least they care for Papa Vale," Ally smiled.

She turned to watch Lord Zark, who was already done cleaning little Zay and had dressed him in the clothes she had gotten for him.

Ally smiled happily. "Zay looks so good!"

Just then, Rai instantly approached the scene with his peers. They all stopped and turned to see what he had to say.

"What happened?" Lord Ash inquired.

"Well..." Kan panted softly before saying, "I think the female is sick."

Ayra lay in bed, coughing mildly as Commander Lynn sat closely by her bedside.

In his arms was a bowl of soup the rabbit had prepared for Ayra’s recovery. It was a warm, healthy vegetable soup that Ayra had taught them to prepare.

"Here... have some," Commander Lynn insisted as he brought the soup closer to feed her. "Your face is all pale, and you look exhausted. You need to get better immediately." The wolf looked worried.

Ayra smiled as she stared at the soup. "It looks so bitter. What do I do now?"

"I’ll taste it first, and then you taste it. Okay?" Commander Lynn offered.

But Ayra smiled and shook her head. "Never mind."

She took the bowl from him and took a sip. Ayra struggled to swallow the bitter soup as Commander Lynn stared at her.

"If you can’t take it, you should leave it," Commander Lynn said, worried that it would be too bitter.

Ayra smiled. "I’m okay..."

Commander Lynn sat there, carefully staring at Ayra while wondering what could be wrong with her.

"Did this happen because of me?"

"Huh?" Ayra stared at him.

He lowered his head. "The last time we..."

He couldn’t finish his words.

Ayra smiled and shook her head. "Silly. Why would it happen because of you? I guess I fell sick. It’s normal to fall sick."

"Oh..."

Commander Lynn slowly nodded as he stared at her. "Then when will you get better?"

Ayra smiled. "I don’t know. Maybe soon?" she teased him. "Or maybe when you give me a kiss?"

But Commander Lynn had a firm expression.

Before she knew it, he leaned in and pressed his lips against hers.

It was a firm kiss that left her speechless. Then he pulled back and stared at her.

"You..."

Ayra raised an eyebrow, her cheeks blushing. "I what?"

Commander Lynn slowly lowered his gaze toward her stomach.

At that moment, Ayra could tell what was happening.

Commander Lynn leaned closer to her stomach, resting his ears against it as he closed his eyes and felt the energy running through her.

"This..." he muttered before staring up at Ayra. "I can feel it."

At that moment, Ayra smiled warmly as she cupped his cheeks with her hands.

"Congratulations on becoming a father soon..."

Commander Lynn was speechless as he stared at her. Even though he had already confirmed it, this didn’t seem real to him at all.

It all felt like a dream come true. An impossible dream.

He was feeling overly emotional at the moment, and before he could speak, tears slowly ran down his cheeks.

Ayra was surprised. She hadn’t expected the cold, emotionless Commander Lynn to cry like that. Seeing him like this melted her heart.

"Are you...?"

Commander Lynn leaned closer to her stomach and pressed his lips softly against it. As though communicating with the little one inside, he kissed her stomach tenderly for a long moment before slowly pulling back and staring up at Ayra.

"I’ll take care of you," Commander Lynn said firmly. "I’ll take good care of you and make sure you don’t do anything..."

Ayra smiled as she slowly patted the wolf by the ears.

"Thanks for your consideration."

As they stayed like that, a knock came from the entrance.

Then Nyx slowly made his way into the room.

Ayra and Commander Lynn stared at him, rather shocked to see him there.

"What are you doing here...?" Ayra wondered if he had come to settle more scores with her or something. She didn’t know what to expect.

Commander Lynn instantly put on his cold expression as he got to his feet, staring at Nyx.

"What is it? Is anything wrong?"

Nyx said nothing.

He simply stood there, staring down at Ayra without a word. His eyes focused on the sickly pale Ayra.
