Goodbye, Grandma Li (Part VII)

It was an especially long night for everyone at the Jin family house. Except for the children, cats, and dogs, almost everyone acted as if they had been numbed. They just felt too exhausted these past few weeks—and drained.

Inside Jin Liwei's bedroom which was now the couple's bedroom, Iris stepped out of the ensuite bathroom to find her husband nowhere in sight.

The twins were already asleep on their crib bed along with Ice Cream. Popcorn should be staying with his favourite human cousin, Little Jun, in another room.

The German Shepherd guard dogs, Pudding and Chowder, raised their heads when they sensed her presence. Their tails wagged as a greeting before returning to sleep on cushions below the crib bed.

Iris checked on the twins before peeking at the balcony. As expected, her husband was there. She sighed before turning around to take two coats from the wardrobe. She wore one and then stepped out onto the balcony.
