Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 203

Chapter 203 The Mercy of God

Ethan stayed cool, not putting up a fight, like the big reveal didn't even faze him.

"Ethan, seriously? Letting a woman take a bullet for you? What kind of man are you?" Faris raised his fist, ready to throw a punch, but Ethan caught it with one hand.

"If you wanna yell or fight, do it after my kids are fed," Ethan said calmly.

Hunter and Harper were bawling their eyes out, and nothing I did could calm them down; they were probably starving. Hearing the kids cry, Faris snapped back to reality. He slowly let go of Ethan, his face saying, "I'll deal with you later."

Ethan straightened his clothes, which Faris had messed up, and walked over to grab two baby bottles.

"I already sterilized them," he said.

The kids were crying like there was no tomorrow, and nothing I did helped.

Hot-headed Faris, who had been ready to brawl, now walked over to help. He opened the formula and started scooping it into the bottles. "Water first, then formula," Ethan reminded him.

Faris paused, not wanting to take orders. "Is there a difference?"

"Yes, there is," Ethan said seriously.

Faris snorted. "You act like you're some expert. How many times have you actually taken care of the kids?"

Ethan didn't bother responding, knowing it was a waste of time.

Faris didn't add the formula because he wasn't sure about the water amount. He set it down and waited.

Once Ethan prepared a bottle, Faris handed him the other empty one and took the prepared formula.

Both kids were still crying, and Faris hesitated, unsure which one to feed. "As the older brother, he should let his sister go first. Let's feed the sister first."

He then frowned, looking awkwardly at the two kids. "Which one is the brother, and which one is the sister?"

This was probably because of that time in the hospital when Ethan dressed his son in pink.

"This one is the sister," I reminded him.

Even though they were fraternal twins and looked almost identical, I'd been taking care of them for months and could tell them apart from subtle differences.

He brought the bottle to Harper's mouth, and she stopped crying as soon as she started drinking, holding the bottle with her little hands. She must have been really hungry.

Ethan quickly prepared the other bottle and gave it to Hunter. Finally, the kids were quiet and drinking their milk.

The two men stood by the bed, watching the kids and seemingly forgetting their earlier argument.

I couldn't quite figure out Faris. He was so ticked off at Ethan, but when he looked at the kids, there was this softness in his eyes.
