Next, a nurse cleaned and dressed the baby before wrapping her up in a blanket that Josh Batton and the others had prepared in advance. She then placed her next to Annabeth Cates, where the newborn subconsciously reached out to touch her mother's face with her tiny hand.It was a heart-warming scene.However, Josh couldn’t focus on his daughter when all he could think about was how his wife had passed out from exhaustion.Soon, the medical staff brought her and the baby back to their ward with his help.The moment the delivery room door swung open, Sharon Lindt and the rest saw Annabeth unconscious, and they immediately surrounded her without even looking at the baby.“What happened? Why did Annabeth pass out?” Sharon asked.“Yeah, is she all right?” Wilson Batton wondered.Xyla Quest stood and silently checked her pulse.“She’s fine. She only passed out from exhaustion but will be recovered soon,” the doctor spoke up.Xyla had just finished checking on her pulse, so she tur

It was certainly strange.Sharon Lindt finally turned away after the doctor had adjusted the needle on the back of Annabeth Cates’ hand, taking the bottle of milk from the nurse to feed the baby.Seeing how adorable her new grandaughter looked, she felt her heart melting again.Xyla Quest and Wilson Batton soon walked over to her and helped her out, while Josh Batton silently went to get some water and began to wipe the sweat off Annabeth’s skin.She was all he could think about at that moment.‘#Annabeth Cates gave birth to a baby girl#’ suddenly appeared on the number one spot in the list of hot topics.Many people, claiming to be nurses at Municipal Hospital, had published posts on Weibo about Annabeth's safe delivery of her baby girl of six pounds in weight.In the posts, they commented that the Batton family was unlike any of the in-laws they’d ever seen. After the birth of the baby, the family was focused entirely on the mother instead of the newborn.Soon, netizens began

Annabeth Cates had experience with babies before this, but the baby in her arms felt far too little.It felt as if her baby would slip right through her arms if she wasn’t careful.She anxiously changed her position several times before finally having a firm hold of her baby.She eagerly kissed her baby on the forehead as she held her closer.The baby was sound asleep and didn’t open her eyes.Everything about the baby was small.Her face was small, and so were her hands.She looked scrawny in her arms.Just one look at the baby was enough to make her want to give her the world.Annabeth finally understood how it felt to be a mother wanting to treasure her child.Meanwhile, Sharon Lindt and Josh Batton seemed equally nervous, afraid that she might drop the baby“Be careful, Annabeth. The baby is too small and dainty,” Sharon said.“It’s fine. She’ll gain weight soon after drinking more milk,” Wilson Batton voiced.“She’s the smallest and scrawniest baby I’ve ever seen,” Jo

“The baby’s hand is so small. I want to kiss and hold her.”“It must’ve been tough, Annabeth. Thank you for letting Josh become a father.”“Josh, take good care of Annabeth.”“I like you more and more. Whether it’s about you being in love, getting married, or having children, you’ve never kept anything from us. You’ve always been open about your life.”“I’ve always known you’d be a good father and husband.”Josh Batton couldn’t help but smile when he saw these comments.He then clicked on the list of hot topics for a peek, only to discover that he'd been on that list for some time now.There were even livestreams of Annabeth Cates delivering her baby, showing the process clearly.Everyone on the internet seemed to be celebrating.Josh felt even happier when he saw how joyful everyone seemed.Meanwhile, his wife was oblivious to any of this as she was focusing all her attention on the baby, who slept soundly in her arms.The baby’s wrinkly face and the way she pouted were ado

Everyone kept talking one after another. Annabeth Cates nearly forgot all about her pain from delivering.“All right, Annabeth. You’ve been holding the baby for too long now," Sharon Lindt said. "Give her to me. Also, you shouldn’t be sitting up for so long. It puts some strain on your waist.”With that, she promptly took Candice Batton from the mother before shooting a glance at Josh Batton. “What are you looking at? Help your wife lie down.”Hearing her order, Josh obediently helped Annabeth lie down.Seeing how anxious they seemed, she began to feel like a full-grown baby.“Mom, aren’t you exaggerating a little? Lots of new mothers can move about right after delivering their babies. Most foreigners do so,” she voiced out helplessly.“You silly child," Sharon said with a shake of her head. "We’re different from foreigners. Our ancestors have been practicing this for thousands of years. Nothing can go wrong if you follow their teachings.“Anyway, you have to heed my advice, d

“I know, but I still need to say it," Sharon Lindt said. "Annabeth, you can tell us if you feel uncomfortable at any time. Don’t hold back.”Annabeth Cates nodded again.This family had no blood ties to her, but everyone treated her as if they did. She was truly grateful for them.“Also, don’t play with your phone, or you'd get eye diseases during postpartum recovery. Don’t watch television either," Sharon added.She bobbed her head, resolved to be a good daughter-in-law, and do as told, despite how badly she wanted to use her phone.She also wanted to take videos of her baby to show her parents.“I know you want to play with your phone, but listen to Mom for now. I’ll share the good news with your parents when morning comes,” Josh Batton said with a knowing look and a chuckle.She didn’t think her husband would know her so well.He could practically read her mind.Xyla Quest stayed in the ward for a while longer, taking a picture of Candice Batton before leaving.Wilson Batt

“Annabeth,” Sharon Lindt paused, watching Annabeth Cates with an affectionate look on her face.“Yes, Mom, go on,” Annabeth said curiously.“Thank you for giving us such an adorable granddaughter. You’ve contributed a lot to our family,” she went on earnestly.Perhaps she had too many sons herself, hence she'd always preferred girls.She was very happy to have so many granddaughters now.“Mom, your family has been so good to me. It’s only right that I offer you grandchildren in return,” Annabeth told her.“We’ve all witnessed how much you've suffered. We’ll treat you even better from now on,” she stated.“You’ve already been good enough to me. I don't think you have to do more.”“That won’t do. We can always do more,” she insisted, making Annabeth laugh.Shortly after, Josh Batton finished preparing the bottle for Candice Batton, so he went to carry her into his arms and started to feed her on the couch.Meanwhile, Sharon went to get some water to wipe Annabeth’s face and bod

Josh Batton wore a white shirt and a pair of black pants.With his hair slicked back, he looked dignified and fresh.When the group of them came out, reporters were quick to swarm them, taking pictures frantically without turning the flash on to protect the baby's eyes.Soon, they began asking a series of questions—“Josh, do you feel anything special being a first-time father? Is there anything you’re not used to?”“Ms. Cates, I’d like to ask how you feel as a first-time mother.”“Mr. Batton, were you very excited to see your baby for the first time? How did you feel?”“Ms. Cates, as far as I’m aware, Mr. Batton has been by your side to look after you all this while. Has he been doing a good job?”“Josh, I heard you cried when the baby was born. Was it true? How did you feel?”“Josh, please answer our questions.”The questions from the reporters kept coming one after another. Josh and Annabeth Cates had no idea which question to answer first.She was the first to pick up a

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.

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?

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.

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 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.
