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

Stanley Batton slowly shifted his gaze to the nurse’s face. “What’s the matter?”The moment his eyes fell on her, the nurse felt as if she was soon going to suffocate.She immediately took a deep breath. “Here’s the thing, you’ll be able to see your babies in about half an hour.”“Got it, thanks,” he answered rigidly before returning his gaze at Xyla Quest.He worried about his babies, but he was more concerned about his wife.With her still unconscious, all he could think about was her.He couldn’t care about anything else.The nurse didn’t comment further. Instead, she silently closed the door behind her and left.Once the door was closed again, the entire world became quiet.He gently held Xyla’s left hand, which wasn’t connected to the IV drip, and placed tender kisses against it repeatedly.Seeing her pale face made his heart ache.He swore he’d never let Xyla go through this pain again.Regardless of whether their two babies survived this time, he wouldn’t want her go

“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

“Oh, how much do our children weigh at birth?” Xyla Quest asked.She wanted to know a little more about her children’s condition.Stanley Batton answered truthfully. “Our son currently weighs 1.32 pounds while our daughter weighs 1.31 pounds.”Xyla’s heart ached when she heard how tiny they were.They should have been absorbing nutrients inside her body and growing steadily, but they came into this world far too soon.Weighing so little, they must have been tiny in size.When Xyla thought of this, she couldn’t help but recall the images of premature babies she had seen before.Those babies were all tiny, their skin tender and pinkish.To keep them alive, they had to stay in a womb-like thermal box, connected to numerous tubes that provided them with fluids of sustenance.Her heart ached at the thought.Until now, she still couldn’t understand why her babies had to come so soon.She had been so careful all this time during her pregnancy.When she checked her pulse in the sho

“Okay. Honey, get in touch with Yaksha and your grandfather tomorrow,” Xyla Quest told her husband, thinking of those two who were more knowledgeable. They could provide some insight into this.“Yeah, I was thinking of doing just that,” Stanley Batton said.Knock, knock, knock—A nurse pushed the door open before standing hesitantly next to it. “Mr. Batton? Ms. Quest? You may see your children now.”As soon as Xyla heard this, her thoughts were instantly interrupted, feeling joyful as she grabbed Stanley's hands tightly.“Honey, don’t worry about me now. Go and check on our babies.”Compared to his wife, he appeared much calmer.He nodded slightly before looking at the nurse. “Stay here and look after Xyla, please.”Out of urgency, Xyla started nagging again. “Don’t mind me. Hurry up and check on our children.”Stanley smiled and gently caressed her cheek. “I’ll check on them, but I won’t neglect you, either. There has to be a difference in terms of priority.”Xyla instantly

The babies were placed in a transparent, round-shaped thermal compartment. Miniature duvets covered their bodies with various tubes connected to them.From far, it appeared as if they were sound asleep as they barely moved.Due to the distance, Stanley Batton couldn’t see their faces clearly. Even so, he could feel his heart breaking for his two children.If it was possible, he hoped his children could survive.He wished he and Xyla could take care of them and watch them grow.Right then, a transparent door slowly opened and a nurse clad in a sterile gown approached him with another pair in her hand.“Mr. Batton? Please come in and put on this sterile gown. You’ll be able to enter and take a closer look at your babies after you put on a face mask and get disinfected.”Stanley nodded slightly before walking in, following her instructions.He changed into a sterile gown and slipped on a face mask to cover his lower face before undergoing a full-body disinfecting process.After a

Hence, he was the older brother to his younger twin sister.Stanley Batton didn’t reply, but his gaze turned even softer.However, he couldn’t bring himself to smile.After staying by his children’s side for half an hour, Stanley finally left the neonatal intensive care unit with his phone and retraced his steps toward Xyla Quest’s ward.On his way back, he kept replaying the video he recorded of his children, feeling a mix of emotions.Right then, Xyla felt even more worried in her ward, hoping that her husband would hurry back to show her how their babies looked.For that reason, she refused to rest.Soon, Stanley opened the door and entered her room, prompting her to perk up immediately.“Quick, show me how they look,” she demanded eagerly.Smiling, Stanley stepped forward to show her the video on his phone.Seeing her children’s faces, Xyla instantly felt like she was melting on the inside.She was excited, but her heart ached at the same time.She was thrilled to see h

At eight o’clock in the morning, Xyla Quest opened her eyes in a dazed state.Despite falling asleep, she wasn't in a deep slumber. Her subconscious mind was active, dreaming multiple times all the way through.Now that she was awake, though, she couldn’t remember much other than her children had survived in one of her dreams, even all grown up.They seemed adorable and likable; the older brother looked handsome, while the younger twin sister looked pretty.They bore all the positive traits of both Xyla and Stanley Batton.Upon opening her eyes, she was disappointed to realize that it was all just a dream.She woke up to find Stanley still sitting by her bed, ruffling her hair as he gazed tenderly at her.He seemed exhausted, judging by his red-rimmed eyes.Xyla felt sorry to see him like this.She moved her slightly aching arms. “You look so tired. Didn’t you get any rest?”He softly cradled her face. “I couldn’t sleep. I was worried that something might suddenly happen to y

Xyla quickly reached for Hannah’s hand. “Is that right? Hannah, you’re amazing…! You’re practically on par with Leon!”Hannah laughed, slightly embarrassed. “Not at all.”“Oh, cut it out. If you hadn’t helped me, how could I have improved so quickly?” Leon chuckled.“I guess I’ve lived up to my promise.” Hannah giggled along.Back then, she had promised Leon that she would become someone deserving of him.She claimed that she would grow with Leon.Without a doubt, she had done it.Now, Hannah had become a successful woman many would often speak of. She earned her rightful seat next to Leon as the CEO of Dragon Group.Stanley also turned to look at Hannah. “Yes, Hannah’s very capable. She’s our family pride.”Hannah laughed. “I was lucky to be accepted by your family.”In fact, Hannah genuinely felt grateful toward the Batton family over the years she had spent with them.They had helped her through all the hardship she encountered when she was poor and down on her luck.Aft

“Hannah, I’ve taken the first step for you. Are you willing to walk by my side for the rest of our lives?” Leon asked, serious.“Yes, I am…” Hannah answered without missing a beat.“I’ll protect you. From now on, you don’t have to worry about a single thing.” With that, Leon placed both hands on Hannah’s face and kissed her on the lips.The moment their lips touched, everything felt surreal…Hannah could feel pink, light bubbles floating all around her. It felt as if all the flowers in the world were blossoming at once.In Hannah’s dark, depressing life, Leon was her only salvation.He was a ray of hope that led her out of hell, so she could see light once more.Hannah thought she would never have anything to do with Leon after she quit school.Even until now, she still remembered how sorrowful she was on her last day of school.But now… Not only did she get the opportunity to interact with him once more, but they also became a couple.Their driver sighed to himself while

Over time, Leon’s feelings for Hannah grew deeper, stronger, and more intense.He had grown used to having her with him all the time.Thus, he hoped she would stay by his side for the rest of his life.Upon hearing his words, Hannah’s mind went blank.What did her dream guy just say?Was she dreaming?Hannah quickly pinched her palm at the thought in an attempt to discern between dream and reality.Her palm hurt. That meant this wasn’t a dream. It was real!Hannah felt even more dumbfounded…This meant Leon actually liked her! He was confessing to her, wasn’t he?Did her dream guy actually reciprocate her feelings?Never in her wildest dreams did Hannah imagine she would go through such an experience.Excitement jammed her mind, so much that she was rendered speechless. There were many things she wanted to say, and yet, she couldn’t utter a single word.Her heartbeat increased rapidly, and her entire body began to shake. Sensing her trembling body, Leon tightened his e

Immediately after, the men in black pulled out guns from their pockets, which they aimed at Raymond’s head.Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.He subconsciously retreated a step back. “Who are you? Don’t you know what you’re doing is illegal?”Leon sneered. “You don’t deserve to know my name. In this city, I am the law.”Leon’s domineering words made him seem even more imposing.At this moment, Hannah felt as if he was a guardian angel sent from Heaven to protect her.Something about him seemed oddly sacred and heavenly.“Mr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?” One of the men dressed in black asked.“Mr. Batton? Are you Stanley Batton’s son?!” Fear was beginning to spread through Raymond. For one to have Batton as his surname and act this arrogantly in Atlantis, he could be none other than a member of the renowned Batton family.“How dare you address our president by name?!” Another man in black leveled Raymond with a chilling glare.Suffice to say, Raymond was terrif

Terrible pain ached at every part of Hannah’s body as she collided with the cold, hard ground.The pain was such that all her bones felt close to breaking. Everywhere hurt badly.At that moment, Hannah felt like a fragile doll made of clay that had been forcefully slammed hard against the ground until it broke into small pieces.Her mind went blank from the stinging agony.She braced herself and looked at the cold eyes staring back at her, filled with terror. Stammering, she asked, “Mr. Gray… What is the meaning of this?” “What’s the meaning of this? Ha! Don’t you know what’s good for you? You dumb b*tch… You’re lucky that I set my sights on you!”“How dare you refuse my feelings! Not just that, but you even made up a story to deceive me!”“Even when you saw me, you tried to trick me again!”“Do you think I’m stupid? That I can’t think? Do you honestly think I’d fall for your lies again and again?” Raymond went, his tone steadily rising into a furious roar.He then got on o

Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasn’t about to be silent anytime soon. Hannah felt deeply unsettled, so much that she didn’t leave right away.Instead, she waited in front of the bar, filled with hesitance and anxiety.Should she really leave?Would Rihanna truly be able to sort things out?The man was Raymond Gray… Neither Rihanna nor the bar could afford to upset him, lest they face terrible repercussions.Hannah remained standing on the same spot, uncertain. She really didn’t know what to do.Finally, she came to a decision. She took out her phone and tapped open a ride-hailing application on her phone.Yet just as she did that, she instantly closed it. Afterwards, she began pacing back and forth in worried circles, going to and fro aimlessly. Right as she was trapped in her worried musings, a group of people exited the bar. Raymond Gray, dressed in black, sporty attire, led all of them in a flamboyant manner.

A handsome waiter quickly walked in and looked at Rihanna. “Ms. Jensen, Mr. Gray out there insists that Hannah should get on stage to sing another song. I told him that Hannah would only sing three songs today…”“He lost his temper and claimed he’d destroy our bar if Hannah refuses to sing another song…” The waiter added. He was visibly trembling by the end of the sentence.Hannah figured Mr. Gray was probably the only son of the new mayor of Atlantis there weren’t many people with Gray as their surname in Atlantis. There were even less people who were arrogant like him. He was the only one.Hannah had heard about how terrible this person could be. He was known to be a womanizer too.Due to his powerful background, he looked down on everyone else. He didn’t respect women at all… Moreover, he had a relatively cruel personality. One could almost describe him as being a pervert.There was once when an owner of a bar offended a female internet celebrity he was dating. He directly hired

Hannah Roland smiled politely at Lina Cohen. “Nice to meet you… Thank you in advance!”“No problem… Do let me know if there’s anything you don’t like about your makeup too,” Lina said.Hannah nodded. “Okay, sure…”“By the way… Do all the signers here get such good treatment? I’m surprised we’re even assigned our own makeup artists,” Hannah asked carefully as she wasn’t aware about things like these..However, Lina smiled without answering Hannah’s question directly. She held Hannah’s hand casually the next second, “Come here. I’ll start doing your makeup now…”Hannah nodded…Lina was a very professional makeup artist. She took an hour to finish Hannah’s makeup.An hour later, Hannah’s appearance transformed completely.Lina permed Hannah’s long, black hair into natural-looking curls.Hannah had intricate peach-colored makeup on her face which made her appear lively and youthful.Once Lina was done with Hannah’s makeup, she happily retrieved a long, white dress from a clothes

Hannah Roland smiled without saying anything.***Hannah arrived at the bar where she worked at seven o’clock the next evening and walked into Rihanna Jensen’s office.Rihanna was going through paperwork in her office. When she saw Hannah, she immediately stood up and smiled at her. “Hannah, you’re here…”“Here’s the contract…” Rihanna said before pushing a thick stack of paper to the center of the table.Hannah quickly stepped forward and skimmed through the document. She then picked up a pen and signed it…Rihanna smiled upon seeing this. “Okay… I’ll transfer the money into your account tonight… I’ve told our big boss about your situation. He’s fine with my decision to pay your salary in advance. In fact, he even told me I did a good job…”“He said you can sing without worrying about a single thing… If you need any help in the future, do let us know…” Rihanna added.Hannah felt glad when she heard this, and became teary-eyed. “Thank you… Please thank our big boss for me too.
