Georgie Clementine shrugged helplessly.“Fine, we’ll eat at home,” Henry Armstrong nodded, fully understanding how Georgie’s parents felt.Parents around the world would do anything for their children.At this moment, he had a deeper sense of respect for Georgie’s parents.That evening, everyone had a sumptuous meal of hot pot at home amidst a joyful banter.Henry knew how to make his future in-laws happy, repeatedly joking while never stopping putting food onto their plates throughout the meal.Although Henry came from a wealthy family, he didn’t behave like a snobbish person at all and managed to keep Georgie’s parents happy all on his own.The two of them grew even more fond of him now as they talked and laughed all night long.Georgie felt extremely satisfied as she observed this, thinking that she had indeed found the right person.Halfway through the meal, the doorbell started ringing.Ding-dong. Ding-dong.Hearing it, Henry immediately stood up to walk to the door. “I

Although Xyla Quest wanted to get help, she couldn’t make a sound.She was on the verge of a mental breakdown, with this feeling of helplessness making her feel awful.Blood was still flowing out of her body, staining half of the carpet beside her bed in mere moments.The scent of blood wafted through the room, serving a constant reminder that she was about to lose her babies.Tears began to trickle down her face uncontrollably, feeling like her heart was being pulled out of her chest.Xyla hoped that Stanley Batton could quickly make his way over to save her from the misery.Dizziness took over, and she could sense herself passing out.To prevent herself from completely losing consciousness, she bit her lip forcefully.Her teeth pierced through her lip, but she couldn’t feel anything.Nothing hurt as much as her chest and her stomach.‘My babies, please hang on. Dad will be here real soon,’ Xyla thought in her heart.Right then, she felt as if she could see the God of Death

Stanley Batton took the elevator to the floor where Xyla Quest’s VIP emergency unit was located.At that moment, Stephen Harris was the only person sitting outside the emergency unit.Seeing Stanley, Stephen immediately stood up to approach him. “She’s already receiving emergency treatment inside. Don’t worry, our doctors are the best in the country. I’m sure they’ll be able to save her.“The Director is there, too, and he’s an expert in this field.”Stanley frowned deeply, nodding to acknowledge his words, but he didn’t reply. He sat down on a bench, his spine stiff with tension, considering how frantic he was still feeling.He had no idea what kind of torture his wife was going through inside the emergency unit.He also didn’t know if she would be fine like what Stephen said.All he could think about now was the image of finding Xyla lying in a pool of blood and her face drained of color.That scene was now permanently etched onto his mind, leaving him feeling vulnerable.

Stanley Batton instantly stood up and walked nearer to the emergency unit.Soon, the Director walked out, seemingly exhausted.Seeing Stanley, he removed his face mask and let out a long sigh.Stanley felt as if his heart was about to leap out of his chest then. His hands started to tremble as he looked at the Director with a frown. “How did it go?”As eager as he was to find out, he was also afraid.Mainly, he wanted to know if his wife was still alive, but he also dreaded hearing that something terrible had happened to her.The Director released another long sigh. “The babies have both been delivered, but they aren’t in good condition due to the extremely premature birth. They will need monitoring in a neonatal intensive care unit. As for whether they will survive, that is up to fate.“For now, Xyla seems fine,” he added.Relief rushed through Stanley as soon as he heard this.“Are you sure she’s fine?” he asked.The Director nodded. “The babies are in critical condition

“Take me to see our children later,” Xyla Quest told him.She needed to check on her babies, as she was worried about their condition after being prematurely born at six and a half months along.She missed them dearly.Stanley Batton frowned. “I’ll check on them on your behalf and take some pictures for you. You’ve just come out of a major operation and still have a healing wound on your stomach. You shouldn’t be out of bed, walking around. The wound might tear open.”Xyla nodded helplessly in agreement before telling him, “In that case, record a video for me.”“Okay. How do you feel now? Does your stomach hurt a lot?” he asked with a look of adoration and tenderness in his eyes.Stanley once watched a video of cesarean delivery, so he knew how much it would hurt for a woman to go through something like that.Xyla shook her head. “It’s fine, I can take it. It’s probably because of the anesthesia, right?”“Yeah,” he uttered before holding her hand and placing it against his face
