Chapter 1109 P - J

Iris smiled and rubbed the images of Ketchup and Bacon on her tablet screen. She wished more than ever that she could make physical bodies for her two cat AI children. They were so adorable that she craved to hold and hug both of them in her arms. Her husband, Jin Liwei, would love to embrace Ketchup and Bacon for sure as well.

Creating physical bodies wasn"t within her field of specialty but she knew a few people who could help her make this specific dream of hers come true. The only problem was if she trusted those people enough to let them know about her cat AI children"s existences. She and her husband would need to discuss this among themselves carefully after she recovered her health and completed her bed rest.

As for Long Jian and his mother Zhu Ning, Iris hadn"t forgotten about their matter. It was just that much more important things had been happening to her all at the same time. Before her wedding, she found some clues that might help Zhu Ning be absolved of the crime of masterminding the bomb incident at the mall which injured her, Jin Chonglin, their fans, and many other people. However, she hadn"t been able to pursue the clues to obtain something more substantial. Now that she was in complete bed rest, she had no choice but to delegate the tasks to others.

"Bacon, take this protected e-folder to ShaWn for further investigation," she instructed her cat AI son.

"Understood, Mother. Bacon will be back." The black cat AI disappeared.

It seemed that the power flood didn"t automatically fix Bacon"s weakness for mult.i.tasking. Based on what Iris saw from his reprogrammed system so far, it would now be more difficult to tweak him to become a mult.i.tasker. It could still be done but she would need to sacrifice his other specialties in order to increase his mult.i.tasking skills to become even close to Ketchup"s level.

She lost interest in making her cat AI son a mult.i.tasker after a.n.a.lyzing that it might weaken his overall abilities if she forced a higher level of mult.i.tasking skills on him. Ketchup being an expert mult.i.tasker was enough. The siblings could just continue supporting and complementing each other"s strengths and weaknesses like usual.

Iris couldn"t wait to recover and get out of bed rest so that she could study Bacon"s reprogrammed system more closely. There were so many possibilities that wouldn"t just benefit Bacon himself but also his older sister, Ketchup, once Iris successfully a.n.a.lyzed everything about the unexpected foundational changes in his system.

She tapped on her cat AI daughter"s adorable image on her tablet screen. "Ketchup."

"Yes, Mommy? Meow~"

"Send a copy of the same e-folder to your dad. Tell him that it"s about Zhu Ning"s matter. He"ll know what to do."

"Aye aye, Mommy! Meow~"

Unlike Bacon, Ketchup didn"t disappear. The fluffy white cat AI continued playing with a ball of yarn but Iris knew that Ketchup was in many places all at once. Just like how the power flood benefitted Bacon, it also upgraded Ketchup"s skills, although it wasn"t as noticeable as what her little brother experienced with a complete system reprogramming.

Ketchup was now more efficient. Both Iris and Jin Liwei also noticed that their cat AI daughter"s comprehension skills of abstract and philosophical ideas were improving at an almost frightening degree, making her even more overdramatic than before.

She had even reduced her Uncle Dom into an almost inconsolable sobbing mess yesterday with her very profound view about the lifetime connection between a parent and child regardless of blood relations. As a result, Dom immediately called his Momsy and Popsy in the Philippines afterwards and cried harder, telling them that he loved them forever and ever. Inspired by her Uncle Dom"s actions, Ketchup also declared her love for her mommy and daddy forever and ever.

Iris felt all warm inside while remembering her AI daughter"s sweet words. She knew that her husband also felt very happy inside.

"Mother, Bacon is back." The black cat AI reappeared on the tablet screen. "ShaWn and I are already working with the contents of the e-folder."

"Thank you, Bacon." Then she tilted her head to the side, wondering why her cat AI son returned home if he was working on the files that she sent to ShaWn. Was he unable to focus because he wanted to keep a constant eye on her? What an overprotective kitten! Just like his dad and uncle!

Very soon, however, she would learn why Bacon returned home so soon even though he had a task to complete at Shadow Winds.

"Mommy, Daddy says that he"ll help handle Zhu Ning"s matter so please focus on resting. Meow~" Ketchup reported. Then she froze all of a sudden before trembling in excitement.

She was about to say something but Bacon pounced on her and blocked her mouth with a fluffy, black paw.

Iris frowned. "Bacon, what are you doing? Let your big sister go."

Bacon didn"t let Ketchup go right away. The AI siblings stared at each other, appearing to have silent communication between them that their mother couldn"t hear. Iris" frown deepened.

Finally, Ketchup nodded, agreeing to whatever Bacon threatened her with and was let go. Then both cats faced their mother.

"Bacon, you—"

"Mommy, the cute and mighty Ketchup is okay! Really! My little kitty brother Bacon didn"t hurt Ketchup at all. Promise! Meow~"

"Mother, my apologies if my actions made you angry. Bacon knows it"s not cla.s.sy."

Ketchup began jumping all around her little brother. "Bacon, hurry up and tell Mommy about your surprise! Oh, Ketchup can"t wait! Meow~"

Iris became confused. What were they talking about?

Ketchup and Bacon, however, kept their mouths shut and wouldn"t tell her anything. Well, Ketchup almost couldn"t contain herself and looked like she wanted to spill the secret but still held herself back after repeatedly being glared at by Bacon.

Finally, Iris received the answer when there was a knock on the bedroom door. The butler and a houseboy carried a few items inside.

"Madam, you have a delivery from a…Mister or Miss P.J. Where would you like us to leave them?"

"P.J.?"

Iris tilted her head to the side before realization dawned on her. She looked at her AI son who was swis.h.i.+ng his fluffy, black tail from side to side in antic.i.p.ation.

"P.J., huh?"
