The next morning, the moment Nina opened her eyes, she saw Yinny and Didi playing beside her. The two little ones noticed she was awake and immediately toddled over, pressing close to her affectionately.
Nina tapped their tiny noses with a smile. "Why are my babies up so early today?"
She glanced at the little milk dragon. Linny was still curled in the hollow of her shoulder, fast asleep, his small body warm and steady against her.
Carefully, she set him down before getting up to wash.
As soon as Kith saw her rise, he hurried over with water and washing supplies.
Nina felt a little awkward seeing it was him. "Thank you."
"You don't need to thank me. This is what I should do," Kith said with a gentle smile.
"Actually, you can just focus on taking care of Yinny. You don't need to take care of me," she replied.
Kith only smiled faintly and did not answer.
He wanted to care for Yinny. But he also wanted to care for her.
