The next day, it was 5 am in the morning when Aldrin came back with his report. It turns out Joshua Bronson didn't put anything suspicious on either the flowers or the fruit basket he brought for Daniel but Mo Laotian was still not convinced that Joshua Bronson was not part of his enemy's plan.
Why did he think of this? It's because the current face of all this mystery, behind Veronica Chime and that spy they caught weeks ago that turned out to be useless after they discovered he was disabled and cannot speak, was Diego Marchand and Joshua Bronson's half-brother so Laotian does not believe the man had good intentions. Last week when Laotian saw that woman in red with Diego Marchand, Laotian quickly ran him a background check. He found out that Joshua Bronson was his half-brother so when the artist appeared in front of Daniel yesterday, he was not only jealous, he was worried but couldn't do anything in front of Daniel.
Also, now that Laotian thought of it, Joshua Bronson had never once hosted an art gallery in the country because he was based in Italy, aside from that, the speech he made a few years back at Daniel's university was the only and last time he went to the country but now, he chose to suddenly host an art gallery. It definitely sounds suspicious.
No matter how Laotian thought of it, he was sure this was made to trap them because the enemy already knew almost everything in the Mo family including likes and dislikes of each and every member. They must have known that Daniel admired Joshua Bronson and quickly worked on to widen the Alpha's career in a place where they can easily lure Mo Laotian's only weakness, Daniel and their children.
To think that his wife's most admired person was one of his enemies, they were truly lucky. Laotian isn't sure yet if Diego Marchand was truly his enemy but all evidence leads to him.
"Stay on high alert and tighten the security even more, and if that man ever comes back. Block him; I don't want him near my family or even near this hospital for as long as Daniel is here." Laotian firmly ordered which Aldrin instantly agreed with. Since he was the head of the security team, he was quickly informed of the faces he needed to watch or should watch even before information was passed to his bosses. That was part and basic requirement of his job, the Mo family had greatly helped him since the moment he met them and Aldrin was willing to give up even his life just to fulfill his mission.
"Good." Laotian said before he briefly waved his hand to dismiss Aldrin. Since it was still too early in the morning Daniel was still asleep so Laotian just simply went back inside the room. He briefly went to kiss Daniel's forehead before he decided to busy himself on his company files. Despite his temporary leave, he could never really fully ignore the company so whenever he had free time, he would look into his files. Just simple checking and he would sign it if he was satisfied.
Laotian sits on the couch with his computer and files, later when Daniel wakes up which would be in 2 hours' time, Laotian's real job will start. First on the list was to help Daniel stretch lightly, since the Omega constantly needed to stay on the bed he needed to at least stretch his body in the morning. Laotian would help him walk around the room for about 5 times, do some light exercises before they head to take a bath. Daniel isn't allowed to stay in shower for a long time so Laotian took it to himself to bathe Daniel everyday as he didn't want any nurse to see his wife's body.
It might sound too much but Laotian actually enjoyed it, and because Laotian and Daniel were pretty used to taking baths together, it was already natural for them unlike other married couples. After bath, given that he had bathe Luangmin as well, he will then massage Daniel, put on essential oils and cream both his wife and son, and then finally on cue the nurse would then bring Daniel's meal and supplements for the morning and then the Omega would undergo the first check-up of the day, which was just basic physical test and the usual questions.
One hour had passed and Laotian was still totally busy on his files when Mo Luangmin woke up from his sleep, he blinked his eyes a couple of times before he sat up rubbing his eyes. Mo Laotian noticed that so he put down his papers to look at his son.
"Good Morning," Laotian softly greeted. Seeing that his father was at the couch, Luangmin slowly got off of his crib, since his crib had a small opening on one side and had a little ladder for him to climb down. The moment the little man's feet stepped foot on the cold floor, he trembled a little before he slowly but surely toddled towards Laotian. When he reached his father, Laotian lifted him on his arms.
"Mornwing, Dada. Dada not mweani anwymore?" Luangmin asked, remembering how his father made his mommy cry yesterday.
"Hmmm, not anymore," Laotian assured, making the little man smile in relief.
"Are you hungry?" Laotian asked, standing with Luangmin cradled in his arms, when Daniel was still the one who's taking care of Luangmin. The very first thing the Omega would do when their son wakes up was to give the little man his milk, 12 ounces was enough before the real breakfast so Laotian was just following that routine because Daniel couldn't do that anymore and hiring a nanny for the little man at this situation sounded undesirable for the couple.
Since Luangmin will just stay inside the room anyway, Daniel and Laotian took this as an opportunity to spend more time with their son because soon they will not be able to do as much when the twins come out. Although it was sometimes tough, Laotian saw this as a way to understand Daniel's situation as well.
He sees this as an opportunity to understand Daniel more, to understand how it was to take care of their son and as to why sometimes the Omega seems tired when he comes back from work.
"uhmmn, Minmin hungwry," The little man replied hugging his father, Laotian didn't need to do anything and he just took the small bottle of milk that he made earlier when he woke up. By now, it should be cool enough for Luangmin to drink.
"Here. Drink it all, okay?" Laotian said, giving the bottle to Luangmin who nodded feeling that the temperature had now become lukewarm. Later the two came back to the couch, Laotian then resumed working, this time he took his Ipad and checked important emails while Luangmin on his lap sucking on his milk as if reading what his father was reading as well.
It had been a week ever since Daniel had been admitted to the hospital and this had become the father and son's routine in the morning before the Omega woke up. And because Daniel would mostly be asleep, Laotian and Luangmin actually had gotten closer. To be honest, Laotian thought having a baby around was bothersome and aggravating, but with Luangmin, he was okay because his son was behaved. Just don't get too close to Daniel when he's around because he'll get jealous.

His eyes fluttering open, Daniel quickly scanned for Laotian's warmth which he quickly found. He opened his eyes and saw Luangmin in between them sleeping. Daniel smiled and lifted his fragile arms towards his beloved husband. He only touched Laotian's arms lightly and the Alpha quickly opened his eyes. After he checked his emails earlier, and noticed Luangmin was nodding drowsily. He decided to go back to the bed; he was not actually sleeping, just closing his eyes thinking when he felt his wife's palm on him.
"Good morning," Laotian smiled lovingly, he put his palm on Daniel's bulging stomach and soon sat up to peck on Daniel's lips which earned a shy blush on his cheeks.
"Laotian, I just woke up." Daniel quickly mumbled shy covering his mouth. He must have morning breath and the Alpha was just kissing him so suddenly.
"Silly, no need to be shy," Laotian chuckled, getting off of the bed and then looking at the time which was 8 am in the morning, and was pretty late, breakfast will arrive soon.
"Do you feel anything unusual?" Laotian asked and walked towards Daniel's side to help him sit up and soon get off of the bed. Daniel looked at Luangmin's sleeping figure on the bed and a smile appeared on his lips before he looked at Laotian.
"Nothing aside from my stomach getting heavier and the back pains. Anyway, did you feed Minmin his milk?" Daniel replied holding on to Laotian. When he was finally standing, he stretched his arms upwards and yawned once again. Laotian found it extremely cute that he wrapped his arms around him from the back and palms on his wife's protruding belly. He nuzzled on Daniel's nape, closing his eyes.
"Hmmm, he finished it all and then fell back to sleep," Laotian said which Daniel replied with a satisfied nod.
*giggles* "Thanks Laotian, but that tickles…" Daniel complained, bringing his fingers against the Alpha's soft hair as they swayed their bodies together.
"You smelled so good," Laotian mentioned, his voice dropped a couple of octaves as he kissed Daniel on the back of his ear and then to his exposed shoulder as they continued to sway their bodies.
"You lie, I just woke up you know, I must smell bad." Daniel chuckled, biting on his lower lips. He really wondered why his dumb self even thought that a husband like Mo Laotian would ever cheat on him. The Alpha was nothing but sweet, kind, loving, and caring towards him. He genuinely felt how much the Alpha loves him but he still thought that Laotian would cheat on him. What is he even thinking?
Or better yet, what does his hormones make him think? He loves the babies inside him but damn they're making him feel so insecure sometimes.
"No, you never smell bad. Even when you sweat, you still smelled so good." Laotian hummed still kissing on Daniel's skin but after a couple of seconds later, he regretfully pulled away not wanting to indulge himself too much into something dangerous.
"It's late; you haven't had your exercise yet." Laotian mentioned making Daniel pout wanting to stay cuddled up on each other. It had just been a week and he missed Laotian's touches so much. He missed the times when they had the hottest late night sex and morning sex. Making out or cuddling was actually allowed but the Alpha was avoiding that too and it made Daniel so lonely, this is also the reason why he told the Alpha yesterday that it was okay for them to do some married couple stuff.
"Don't give me that pout," Laotian said, making his heart a little harder because it's for Daniel's own good, if he does give in he didn't know how much he could hold back. Urging Daniel to briefly sit on the edge of the bed, Laotian went to get Daniel a wet but lukewarm towel for him to use on his face. Laotian quickly gave it to his wife and later fetched a glass of water and a stainless basin.
Daniel was still pouting, rubbing his face with the towel wiping everything clean. When he was done, Laotian took it and put it to the side table and then handed the glass of water which Daniel took as well. Daniel briefly gurgled the water on his mouth and spitted it in the basin. After all that, Laotian smiled and praised Daniel while rubbing his hair.
"Very Good." Laotian chuckled seeing that the Omega was still pouting after drinking the remaining water on the glass.
