Chapter 264 - Tiny Baby
In the morning, Luna and Ethan were preparing to visit one of the branches of Disneyland tourist attractions in Singapore. They will invite Keenan and Keyra who of course will invite their two babysitters too.
Luna already looks beautiful wearing black jeans combined with a top with a banded shirt at the neck, pinning some of her hair back, and wearing not too thick make-up. The young mother did not forget to bring two baby carriers to hold Keenan and Keyra.
"Ready?" asked Ethan as he approached Luna who was in the mirror.
"Yes, daddy" answered Luna while watching Ethan, who looked relaxed wearing a gray blouse combined with black jeans and combed his hair with his signature pomade style.
Ethan approached Luna then kissed her lips for a moment.
"Beautiful and not like a mother of two babies," said Ethan with admiration for Luna.
"Of course, because I'm still young," Luna replied with a confident smile.
Ethan chuckled and exasperated at Luna then took her hand. "Let's see the kids now," he said as he walked out of the room.
Luna followed Ethan's leisurely steps who occasionally raised her hand to kiss affectionately, surprising her and smiling amusedly.
"You're like a flowery girl," Luna muttered.
"Of course, because I'm happy," said Ethan with a smile.
Dina who was preparing to go to the office saw Ethan and Luna who were walking towards Keenan and Keyra's room which was located downstairs near the living room.
"Ethan, Luna, where are you going today?" She asked.
"To Disneyland, Mom," answered Luna with an awkward smile.
"We want to take Keenan and Keyra, they will be happy to be invited there," said Ethan.
Dina smiled and nodded understandingly and said, "Okay, enjoy your time. Mommy has to go to the office because have a lot of business to take care of."
"Be careful, Mom," said Luna.
"Yeah, .. .You also have to be careful, don't be careless in taking care of the children, because usually, it's very crowded there," said Dina then glanced at Ethan. "Eh, Ethan. Mommy wants to talk for a minute," she continued.
"Yes, Mom," replied Ethan then told Luna to go to Keenan and Keyra's room first while he wanted to talk to his mother.
Dina and Ethan walked into the living room and sat on a plush, plain white sofa with three pillows that weren't too big.
"What's wrong, Mom?" asked Ethan.
Instead of answering, Dina asked back, "has there been any news about Sarah?"
"Not yet, Mom, but I make sure today we get information about her because I've asked Richard to monitor her. You take it easy, Richard can be relied on and he is very fast in carrying out his duties," said Ethan with confidence.
She took a deep breath and then leaned back on the sofa. "Send Richard's number, let Me directly communicate with him," she exclaimed.
"Mommy can't wait," Ethan mumbled as he took the phone from his pocket, then fiddled with it for a while. "I sent it," he continued.
"Okay, then mommy is going to the office now," said Dina then got up from the sofa and walked out of the house to the car with the driver ready to take her to the office.

Hans looked down at the tiny baby who was still lying weakly in the incubator. the baby is her grandson who was born by Sarah last night by cesarean section.
'Why do you have such bad luck, son. Your father has died, then your mother has not yet wake up and has not even passed the critical period. I don't know how to go through all this, I can't bear to see your mother always suffering.'
Hans's tears slowly fell after a few seconds of pooling in his eyelids, he was so sick seeing his grandson who was still red and less healthy than normal babies at birth. the baby boy only weighs less than 2kg with a length of 50cm and must be placed in an incubator because it is not yet strong enough.
"Nurse, how long does he have to be in the incubator?" Hans asked the nurse who was changing the red baby's diaper.
"We can't be sure yet, sir. For now, he has to stay in here because he is still very weak," explained the nurse while changing the diaper.
"Take care of him, don't let him get into trouble, I will pay anything as long as he can survive and live a healthy life like a baby in general," said Hans.
"Okay, sir." The nurse nodded obediently.
Hans moved to the ICU room where Sarah was still lying weak with her body attached with some medical equipment to keep her alive. the man looked at the only daughter he loved so much as if he didn't have much strength to endure, her condition worsened after undergoing C-section to save her baby.
The drug she was taking in excess had a lethal effect on her.
"Sarah, wake up. Your baby needs you, don't leave him, don't leave dad. Your baby needs your love, he needs your milk," Hans whispered with tears in his eyes. Sometimes he glanced at the monitor that showed Sarah's heartbeat, which was so weak, her daughter was so vulnerable that she could die at any moment.
"Sir, I brought clothes for you," said Adi, who had just entered carrying a small bag containing a change of clothes for Hans. since last night his employer is still wearing work clothes and has not slept at all, his face is already wrinkled and his hair is slightly white as if making him feel pity.
"Please take care of her. keep monitoring on that device, I don't want anything to happen to him," Hans shouted while pointing at the monitor. He was afraid Sarah would die at any moment when there was no one to look after him.
"Okay, sir."
Adi nods obediently, he has to stare at the monitor and if Sarah's heart rate seems to be slowing or even stopping, he should call the doctor immediately.
Hans immediately went to take a shower and change clothes. The middle-aged man also needs breakfast to stay healthy and be able to take care of his daughter and grandson.

Richard was still sitting in the car staring at Hans's house which looked deserted. since six in the morning, he has come to monitor Sarah's condition from a distance, looking for information or signs that Sarah has given birth or not.
"It's so quiet, even Mr. Hans' car isn't there. I came very early. There's no way he'd leave for work at six." Richard continued to watch Hans' house until he saw a middle-aged woman walking out of the gate carrying a black plastic bag.
Richard immediately got out of the car and crossed the deserted street, then approached the woman who was throwing plastic into the trash.
"Excuse me, could I have a moment to ask a question?"
"Sure." Yanti looked at Richard rather awkwardly.
"Em, is Mr. Hans at home?" asked Richard.
"No, he's going to the hospital," Yanti replied.
"Who is sick?" Richard asked again even though he had already guessed that Hans could go to the hospital to accompany Sarah.
"His daughter's birth," Yanti replied without giving details about Sarah who gave birth by C-section because she was always given a message by Hans not to give anyone much information about Sarah.
