“The children possess strong spiritual energy. Not only can it protect them, but it also protects their mother. Xyla was probably fine because of this,” Yaksha explained.Sharon Lindt felt even more confused. “What spiritual energy? Is this from a fantasy novel?”She found all this hard to believe. She even suspected Yaksha might be a quack, but she had to admit that what happened to her grandchildren seemed mystical.The things Yaksha said made some sense, but could the things in fantasy novels be true in real life?She couldn't quite believe it.Stanley Batton didn’t say anything. Instead, he silently listened to Yaksha, who was now focused on explaining his views to Sharon.“Yes, it’s spiritual energy. Look, these aren’t ordinary children. They have their own spiritual energy, but it was dormant inside their mother’s womb. They weren’t as strong as they are now, and that’s why they couldn’t completely protect themselves against the poison.“Hence, they were born prematurely,”

“Who’d have thought Jeremy would pass away after finding out about these things? Now, Stan suspects that his death isn’t as simple as it seems.“I don’t know how to tell you exactly what happened. The state you’re in-” Sharon Lindt broke off, feeling a little panicked. She didn’t know how to explain further.Meanwhile, Xyla Quest was having a complete breakdown as she grabbed the duvet tightly and cried continuously. The pressure in her chest was overwhelming, almost as if it could explode at any moment.She felt like she was going to die.Her father was the most important person to her, as well as the person who loved her the most, apart from Stanley Batton and her children.Jeremy Quest was her only family.She didn’t even get to repay him for bringing her up since he died so suddenly.How was she supposed to accept this?When her father found out about her premature delivery, he'd come to the hospital to see her children, and check in on her.But now, to find out that he’d

"Look at the state you’re in! Do you think you can handle it?" Stanley Batton asked with a sad look in his eyes. "I know you feel awful. I feel the same way, but please, wait for one night. Once your wound recovers a little, I’ll take you to your father, all right?”The doctor had left strict instructions for Xyla Quest to remain in bed as it was only the first day after her cesarean delivery.Besides, the wound on her stomach had just been torn and sewn back a while ago.How could he let Xyla get hurt?Seeing her like this already made him sad.He would do anything for Xyla to be happy except for what she was asking for right now.She glanced at Stanley with a hopeless gaze. “Honey, my heart hurts. I just want to see my father right now.”At that moment, she wished she had a pair of wings to fly to his side.Xyla knew she shouldn’t be moving around at all, but she couldn't control herself.Her stitches were still fresh, so too many movements could cause another tear.However

Yaksha nodded. “I intended to go there earlier, but you woke up. With things getting out of hand, I couldn’t leave immediately.”Xyla Quest then turned to look at Stanley Batton. “Please, hurry and take Yaksha there. Don’t worry, I won’t cause a scene.”There were more important things to be done.She wouldn’t cause any more trouble as she wanted to get to the bottom of things.Stanley then turned to address Yaksha. “Do you still have the teleport amulet? I’ll give you the location, and you can get there right away.”“Teleport amulet?” Sharon Lindt exclaimed with a shocked look in her eyes. “Are you sure we’re not in a game? How could something like that exist in the real world?”As an experienced gamer, Sharon knew how mysterious teleport amulets were.Does such a thing exist in real life?When Sharon was a child, she always dreamed of having an amulet like that, so she could go wherever she wanted.Yaksha glanced at her briefly before replying to Stanley. “No, I’ve used them

Their appearance seemed completely different from before.Indeed, babies protected by spiritual energy were different from ordinary babies.Not only were they alive and well after being kidnapped, but their physical condition even improved.In a short amount of time, they turned from weak and vulnerable babies into their current condition.Xyla had many questions about how her children disappeared and then returned to her side much improved.She had to ask her husband and Yaksha about what happened, but knew she had to wait as there were other priorities right now.Sharon Lindt felt the same way.“Xyla, look at how adorable they are,” she said, gazing fondly at the children.She adored them more than anything in the world and wanted to spend all her time with them.She was curious, though, thinking if they changed so much now, what would they look like once they grow up?Xyla shared her thoughts but didn’t say anything.“Did they drink any milk?” she suddenly thought out lo

Xyla Quest’s eyes filled with tears when she thought about it.It was such a shame. Jeremy Quest adored children so much and looked forward to having grandchildren. However, right after they came into this world, he was gone before he could even hold them.The only time he ever saw them was when they were still in an insulated case. Nobody was allowed to touch them.Xyla believed that her father must have had a lot of regrets.The more she thought about it, the more distressed she felt, and soon, she began to cry again.Tears blurred her vision as she began recalling all the moments they shared since she was a child.Jeremy was a great father to Xyla, always putting her first.Before she could ever repay him for being a wonderful father, he was already gone.Xyla was fatherless from now on.Nobody would be elegantly sipping tea on the couch and beaming at her when she returned home.She had no immediate family left. Xyla was now an orphan.If possible, she wished that it was

“We found the same transparent cyst under his eyelid as yours,” Stanley Batton said.When Xyla Quest heard this, her heart ached painfully.It was the same transparent cyst.That could only mean that her father was also affected by the poison!That also meant her guess might be accurate…It was Betty Starmount.It had to be her.Xyla felt even more remorseful then.Her heart ached so much that she couldn’t breathe.It was all her fault.When Betty first showed up unexpectedly, Xyla had agreed to her and Jeremy Quest dating.If only she hadn’t agreed to their relationship. None of this would have happened.She was truly remorseful.Back then, she should’ve done her best to stop them.Xyla had all the money she needed to buy anything in the world, but there was nothing more she wanted than to go back in time and save her father.Her heart twinged painfully again as she considered that.Seeing his wife like that made Stanley’s heart ache, too.He promptly sat next to her

Xyla Quest was in a lot of pain, not knowing when her torments would end or when her life would become peaceful again.The most terrifying thing now was that she was out in the open, but the nine-tailed demon fox was still in hiding.It could harm her at any moment, but she couldn’t find out where it was.Her eyes flew open when a thought occurred to her.She looked urgently at Stanley Batton. “Do me a favor and elevate my bed, please.”Stanley didn’t say much, but he did as she asked, then carefully helped her upright against her pillow.Sharon Lindt quickly added a soft pillow behind her so that she would be comfortable.Seeing Xyla like that, a thought prompted her to decide on being the best mother-in-law to Xyla because she deserved everything and more.Afterward, Xyla pointed at her children. “Bring them to me,” she said breathlessly.Hearing that, Sharon brought Lynette over while Stanley did the same with Leon.Xyla remained quiet but proceeded to examine her children

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.
