Chapter 2013

Author: Moonlight
A bodyguard was standing by the door as he looked at Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton with a frantic expression on his face. “The-the-” he stammered, panting heavily.

Stanley’s frown deepened as he surged to his feet. “What is it? Spit it out!”

Xyla and Sharon Lindt instantly panicked seeing the bodyguard acting this way.

“The children-" the bodyguard said with a trembling voice. "They’re gone. We’ve already blocked all exits in the hospital.”

When Xyla heard this, she felt like the entire world was collapsing before her.

Stanley and Sharon felt the same way.

None of them could believe what they had just heard.

They had already deployed bodyguards throughout the entire building. It was unthinkable that anyone could still kidnap the children.

Panicked, Xyla clambered out of bed and looked at the frantic man. “What? What do you mean? Did you say my children are gone? What were you doing? Why didn’t you look after them?”

Just by standing alone, Xyla already felt the energy being dra

    The bodyguard was trembling all over. “It's the truth. Many others saw what I saw. You can ask around. There’s also surveillance footage of what happened. You can check it out.”Sharon Lindt sneered. “I don’t have to see anything. Why should I believe what you said? If there are witnesses, that only means you were all part of the scheme.”Stanley Batton was beginning to feel agitated by the sound of her voice.He scowled at his mother. “Be quiet, you don’t have to get involved in this.”Sharon became even angrier then. “What do you mean? My grandchildren are missing. How could I not be involved? Is it wrong of me to ask questions?”However, Stanley neither looked at Sharon nor replied to her. He continued to frown before turning to look at Xyla. “Stay here. The nurse will tend to your wound shortly. I’ll report this to the authorities and look for Yaksha.”Resisting the pain, Xyla instantly grabbed his hand tightly and spoke. “Okay, but Honey... you must bring our children back.

    Xyla Quest had only just delivered her babies, yet she was already afflicted with two separate tragedies.Her children were delivered prematurely at six months along, with tubes connected to their bodies. Whether they would live or die was still uncertain.And then, not long after they were born, they were kidnapped.The more Sharon Lindt thought about it, the more her heart ached on Xyla’s behalf.“Which b*stard did this? How could he do this to two innocent babies? Isn’t he afraid of karma? If my daughter-in-law and grandchildren get hurt because of this, I’ll make sure the culprit is brought to justice,” Sharon said through gritted teeth, her hands clenched into fists by her side.In the meantime, Xyla seemed completely devastated, feeling herself being devoured by helplessness and worry.Her children were still so tiny. Their lives were at risk even while asleep in a thermal case.How could they stand all the torture?If the nine-tailed fox did take them away, they’d probab

    “You must keep an eye on Ms. Quest. She shouldn’t move around too much. If she tears her wound again, she wouldn’t be able to bear it.“Also, monitor her emotions, or her recovery would be affected. If things worsen, her wound might get infected. It could put her life at risk.” The doctor had a solemn expression on his face as he spoke, releasing a long, helpless sigh after finishing his sentence.As a doctor in this hospital for twenty years, he’d seen all sorts of cases, but this was the first time he'd encountered something like this.Sharon Lindt cried as she listened to his advice, ensuring to remember all of it.After wiping her tears away, she gazed at the doctor. “I understand. Thank you, Doctor. Can I have a word with you?”He nodded respectfully and left the ward first.Meanwhile, Sharon wiped her tears away again before following him out.After closing the door behind her, Sharon said softly, “I can’t let this go on for my daughter-in-law any longer. You were right,

    Right now, time was of the essence.Stanley Batton needed to see Yaksha right away.“He’s on the mountain behind the house.” The disciple pointed towards the back of the house while replying respectfully.Stanley didn’t reply and began running towards the mountain.***Meanwhile, Jeremy Quest was sorting through some newly bought baby clothes with Betty Starmount in the living room when he suddenly received a call from Sharon Lindt.She told him what his daughter, Xyla Quest, was going through, leaving him dumbfounded upon hearing the news.He collapsed on the couch, panting as his vision turned dark.At the same time, Betty was equally shocked when she heard what Sharon said.Did the demon fox do it?It must be.What else could have done such a thing in such a short amount of time?Her hands trembled slightly by her side at the thought.Seeing how sad Jeremy was made her hands tremble even more as she started to tear up.“Honey, don’t be like this. I believe they’ll be a

    Sharon Lindt couldn’t believe what she heard.At that moment, her mind was buzzing so much she couldn’t think straight.How could the person she spoke to on the phone earlier be dead?Perhaps it was because of her call?Apart from shock and sadness, Sharon also felt guilty.She now regretted telling Jeremy Quest about what happened.If she hadn’t told him, would he have been alive?What would she tell Xyla Quest when she woke up?Jeremy had died because of her.Sharon hated herself, and that thought prompted her to slap herself twice forcefully.Why did she have to call him?Earlier, her only thought was that Jeremy deserved to know what happened to his grandchildren.Besides, he would’ve found out anyway when he came to visit them.Now that Sharon thought about it, perhaps she had acted too rashly.Would he have been fine if she had kept it a secret from him? What should she do? What could she do?Suddenly, Sharon felt lost and panicked.Her grandchildren had been ki

    “All right, Stan, I think you’re right. What if Xyla hates us when she finds out later?” Sharon Lindt asked.Stanley Batton frowned deeply, feeling mixed emotions. “I’d rather be hated by her than have her go through an emotional breakdown.”Xyla Quest was already devastated. If she found out about her father’s death, things would only worsen.The consequences might be dire if the emotional stress takes a toll on her.He wouldn’t allow that to happen, even if Xyla ended up hating him.He needed to protect his wife.Sharon instantly nodded in agreement. “All right, Stan, I’ll do as you say. What do we do next?”Stanley furrowed his brows. “Send his body to the morgue but don’t proceed with cremation just yet. Get an autopsy first.”His mother's eyes widened in surprise when she heard this. “Do you suspect there might be something behind his death?”He frowned again. “Just as a precaution.”It was better to investigate Jeremy Quest’s death thoroughly since it happened a little

    Dark clouds dotted the skies, both in Atlantis and the nameless island on which Yaksha lived.Approximately five minutes later, Stanley Batton suddenly felt a gust of wind in the house, followed by a dense sandalwood scent.The odd occurrences caused Stanley to look around subconsciously, finding nothing out of place other than those.The strong wind continued for approximately five minutes before disappearing, regaining some warmth within the house again.Stanley was taken aback by what happened, feeling increasingly curious about what Yaksha was doing upstairs.Approximately half an hour later, a strong gust of wind appeared in the house again, carrying the same thick sandalwood scent with it.This time, the lights went out in the house and plunged everything into darkness.Stanley's eyes darted around, but he couldn’t see anything.The darkness lasted for five minutes before the lights in the house flickered on again, making everything peaceful and warm once more.It all fe

    “They’re in a cave on Mount Barrow right now, but the demon fox isn’t with them,” Yaksha told him.Stanley Batton instantly felt relieved when he heard this, glad that his children were still alive when he thought they'd be dead.“Are they doing all right?”“I’m not sure about that, but regardless of whether they’re fine or not, we need to hurry and make our way there,” Yaksha said.“Can you go there in your current state?” Stanley asked worriedly.“I can. Don’t worry.”With that, Yaksha reached for the railing with difficulty and stood up, immediately coughing as soon as he did.Cough, cough, cough."If I don’t go with you now, you won’t be able to find your children.”“Thank you,” Stanley replied with a deep frown.“Why so courteous? I’m only repaying the kindness that I was shown. Besides, I owe the Quest family big time,” Yaksha replied.“I came here with my helicopter. I’ll fly you there right away,” Stanley suggested, but Yaksha shook his head.“We don’t need a helico

    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

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.
