Chapter 12 — Prosperity Three Jewels

Pregnancy reactions in the early stages are also increasingly evident. Drowsiness, morning sickness, and strange taste. One second I wanted to eat spicy and sour noodles, the next second I wanted to eat ice cream. Tham Thinh Chau complied with almost every request I made. No matter what I wanted to eat in the middle of the night, he would immediately tell the kitchen to prepare it. If there isn't one at home, he even drives to buy it himself. One time, at three o'clock in the morning, I suddenly craved to eat flower beans at a long-standing restaurant in the south of the city. He didn't say a word, put on his shirt and left immediately. When he returned, it was almost dawn. He brought the steaming bowl of flower beans in front of me, a little tiredness in his eyes but more of a loving smile.

“Eat quickly, it's still hot.”

I looked at him, my eye sockets getting a little hot.

“Thin Chau, are you being too arbitrary?”

He gently pinched my nose and smiled.

“This is not called arbitrary, but called the queen's decree.”

"Now you are the greatest hero of our family, and in your belly are three 'little ancestors'. Don't say it's a bean flower, even if you want to eat the stars in the sky, I will pick them for you."

His emotional words are always said so naturally. Makes my heart soft and sweet. Trieu Hue Phuong's attitude towards me is also increasingly careful. She didn't dare to order me around like before, on the contrary, she was a bit withdrawn. Every morning, he appeared at our door on time, asking me if I slept well last night and what I wanted to eat today. That appearance does not look like a mother-in-law but like a servant serving her master. I know she is afraid that I will take revenge, afraid that I will not let her be close to her grandchildren in the future. To be honest, regarding the things she did before, I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart. But seeing her now so carefully trying to please me, I can't bear to continue being cold towards her. After all, she is Tham Thinh Chau's mother. Moreover, she really looked forward to and loved the baby in my womb. She started preparing the children's room very early. She invited the best designer to open up two large rooms on the third floor of the villa, turning them into a dream-like fairy tale world. The inside is filled with baby items. From clothes and bottles to cradles and toys, all are the world's leading brands. Moreover, each dish is prepared in three parts. One pink, one blue, one yellow. She said that regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl, they must be fully prepared. Seeing her busy every day, pawning children's things and then smiling stupidly, the little bit of resentment in my heart gradually disappeared. Although Tham Quoc Dao did not show it outwardly like Trieu Hue Phuong, his concern for me was also shown in every aspect. He was afraid that I would be bored during my pregnancy, so he specially built a beautiful greenhouse in the garden, filled with my favorite flowers. He also invited me a professional pregnancy yoga teacher, a nutritionist and a psychologist. Ensuring my physical and mental health. I feel like a princess living in a fairy tale. Treated tenderly by the whole world. As the pregnancy progressed, my belly swelled like a balloon. Pregnant with triplets was a lot harder than I thought. By mid-pregnancy, my body began to experience many discomforts. Swollen legs, back pain, cramps, can't even sleep on your back at night. Tham Thinh Chau saw everything and felt pain infinite heart. He almost put aside all of his company work and brought his work home. Twenty-four hours by my side taking care of me. Every night he patiently massages my swollen calves and sore back. Until I fell asleep. Looking at the dark circles under his eyes becoming clearer, I felt extremely sad.

“Thin Chau, you don't need to do that.”

“The company still has a lot of work waiting for you to handle, you will be very tired.”

He held my hand and said seriously.

"How can the company's affairs be more important than you and the children?"

“Money can be earned forever, but you are my entire life.”

At that moment I felt like the happiest woman in the world. At the twenty-eighth week of pregnancy, I went to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor said that because I was pregnant with triplets, the pressure on the uterus was too great, and I was at risk of premature birth. He suggested that I should be admitted to the hospital for maternity care from now on. This news made the whole family stressed. That afternoon, I was immediately "packed" by Tham Thinh Chau and taken to the best private hospital in the city. I stayed in the most luxurious VIP room. The room is bigger than the bedroom in my house. Fully equipped, even has a small living room. Tham Thinh Chau directly turned this place into his second office. He hired two experienced nurses to take turns taking care of me twenty-four hours. Besides handling urgent work, he hardly leaves my side. Trieu Hue Phuong and Tham Quoc Dao also go to the hospital almost every day. Every time we come, we bring all kinds of supplements and baby items. That look was like wanting to move the entire shopping mall into my hospital room. Life in the hospital is a bit boring, but under the attentive care of the family, it is very peaceful. Every day I just eat then sleep, sleep then eat. Occasionally read books, listen to music or talk to the babies in your belly. Every time I feel the gentle movement of the fetus, an indescribable feeling of happiness rises in my heart. That's my child. Is the child of me and Tham Thinh Chau. Is proof of our love. I imagine how my children will look after birth. I don't know if it will be more like Thinh Chau or more like me. What will their personality be like? Three naughty little devils or three adorable little cotton shirts. Just when I was filled with anticipation for my children to be born, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared at the door of the hospital room.

That afternoon, I had just woken up from a nap and the nurse was helping me walk around the room. Tham Thinh Chau is handling work in the small office next door. The hospital room door was ajar. Suddenly a familiar yet strange figure appeared at the door. It was a woman who looked haggard and old. Her hair was gray, she wore old, faded clothes, her face was full of weather marks. Her eyes timidly avoided, in her hand she still held an old mesh bag containing a few apples. I paused for a moment before realizing who she was.
