“How do you feel?” Stanley Batton asked.“Not too great… I feel terrible…” Xyla Quest said as she tried to vomit, but nothing came out.As she spoke, she almost broke out in tears.After taking a deep breath, Xyla continued to hold the toilet seat with both hands as she tried to vomit.She didn’t eat anything in the afternoon and at night because of the severe vomiting caused by her pregnancy.Right then, Xyla felt as if she’d drunk an entire liter of alcohol.She felt dizzy and nauseous.After seeing Xyla like this, Stanley immediately frowned deeply. “Honey… After this time, we won’t have children again… I’ll get sterilized…” He said.“Going through such a painful process once is more than enough…” The more Stanley said the more his heart ached.Xyla immediately felt warmth spread in her chest after hearing what Stanley said.Although most men knew how much women suffered from pregnancy, very few could say something like this.The men from wealthy families, especially, wou
Stanley Batton’s tone was dominant and irrefutable.After finishing his sentence, Stanley hung up the phone before Zack Cassidy could speak.“How do you feel? Do you feel a little better?” Stanley asked as he carefully rubbed Xyla Quest’s stomach.“Urgh… A little better than before. But I still feel terrible…” Xyla said weakly. Her face was pale.“What about your hypoglycemia? Is it better?” Stanley asked.Xyla nodded gently…Stanley’s facial expression turned sullen, and his frown also deepened significantly. “Honey, I wish I could take your place and bear the pain for you instead.”Xyla laughed bitterly for a moment. Then, a warm sensation filled her heart as usual. “Idiot… How could a man take a pregnant woman’s place?”Stanley let out a long sigh. After that, he lay down next to her and continued to rub her stomach carefully.Although Xyla was suffering greatly, she still felt lucky because she had Stanley to worry about and take care of her.When Xyla thought about how t
“You told me that Xyla was still vomiting. I couldn’t stop worrying, and that’s why I came over to check on her…” Sharon Lindt said. After that, she rushed over to Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton’s side before sitting down. “It didn’t help that I was at home. I was so worried that I couldn’t sleep…” Sharon added.Sharon then held Xyla’s hand and looked at Xyla’s exhausted face. “My darling. I’m sorry for what you’re going through…”Seeing Xyla like this made Sharon’s heart ache.They were both women. Although Sharon didn’t suffer this badly when she was pregnant, she also understood how terrible vomiting during pregnancy felt.Xyla chuckled and retched for a while. “This is what most women have to go through before becoming mothers… It’s nothing.”“Darling. Would you like to eat something? It doesn’t matter what it is. As long as you name it, I’ll bring it to you right away…” Sharon said.Xyla shook her head…She wasn’t interested in any delicious food from any part of the world r
After Stanley Batton left, Sharon Lindt once again held Xyla Quest’s hand tightly. “Xyla, no matter how painful it gets, I’ll be with you, alright? You’re not alone,” Sharon said.Xyla nodded repeatedly…No matter how painful it was, Xyla felt unusually secure as long as the Batton family was around.After approximately half an hour later, Stephen Harris came to give Xyla a nutritional drip.Meanwhile, Xyla’s retching also lessened significantly.Sharon stayed in the house for a while before leaving…After she left, the master bedroom became quiet and peaceful once more.Stanley slowly walked back to the bed and sat next to Xyla. While looking at the back of her hand with a needle in it, Stanley felt his heart aching again.Meanwhile, Stephen sat silently next to Stanley and Xyla. He was practically the third wheel.After the nutritional drip was done, Xyla no longer felt nauseous.Hence, she gradually fell asleep peacefully.After seeing that Xyla had fallen asleep, Stanley
Xyla Quest allowed Stanley Batton to carry her while she looked at her phone…It was a WeChat message from Sharon Lindt.She sent some messages that expressed her concern.“Good morning, darling…”“Eat something proper for breakfast. Take a picture of what Stanley made for breakfast later.”“Let me see what that kid made for you.”Xyla felt extremely happy receiving these messages from Sharon early in the morning.She hooked one hand around Stanley’s neck as she replied to Sharon’s text with the other. “Alright. Thank you for worrying about me, Mom.”“Urgh…” As soon as Xyla typed that, she felt nauseous again.Xyla immediately put her phone in the pocket before covering her mouth with her hand.Stanley frowned deeply as he looked at Xyla with a pained expression. “Honey… Why not… Let’s get rid of the babies.”When Xyla heard this, she couldn’t believe her ears…She knew how much Stanley was hoping for these two babies to arrive.She also knew how happy he was because she b
Although Stanley Batton felt bad watching Xyla Quest suffer, he couldn’t do anything about it.He could only worry about her.After breakfast, Stanley called Sharon Lindt on the phone and asked her to accompany Xyla.After Sharon arrived, Stanley headed to the office.Once Sharon and Xyla had sent Stanley off, they held each other’s hand and took a stroll in the small garden behind the house.As it was early autumn, all sorts of plants and trees were planted in the small garden…Right then, the flowers were still in bloom.Other plants were also in a lush state.In Atlantis, this was the most comfortable season of the year. It was neither cold nor hot, and there were comfortable autumn breezes.The breeze that greeted one’s face came with a flowery scent and a calming, cooling sensation.Xyla was dressed very simply in only a white, pure-cotton halter dress and a beige, knitted sweater…On the other hand, Sharon wore a light-pink knitted sweater with a white, flowery dress o
After talking to Stanley Batton for a while on the phone, Xyla Quest reluctantly hung up.Once the call ended, Sharon Lindt carefully held Xyla’s hand. “This is wonderful, Xyla… Stan will finally be completely normal again…”At first, when Xyla’s grandfather-in-law told her that Stanley’s illness could be cured, Xyla didn’t believe him.In fact, she still felt suspicious about the medicine.However, she later observed that Stanley’s genes really were modified.Xyla couldn’t help but sigh to herself as she thought about how there was always someone more powerful.Nothing was impossible in this world.Xyla thanked god for this.She was grateful to god for finding Stanley someone to provide him blood for a long time when he was ill…She was also grateful that the person’s bone marrow was compatible with Stanley’s.“Yeah, Mom.” Xyla nodded and smiled.As long as Stanley’s surgery was successful, Xyla would have nothing to worry about.After saying that, Xyla broke into tears fr
This was major news!Also, was their president’s status at home already this low?After noticing the content on his phone, Stanley Batton immediately looked around at everyone emotionlessly.Although he realized that everyone had odd expressions on their faces, he remained calm.Right then, “Mama” sent another Wehat message over—“Your father just called me. He asked you to give Xyla massages for half an hour every day after you get home…”At this moment, the look in every high-level executive’s eyes became even weirder.Stanley silently raised his brows. After that, he slowly cut off the connection between his phone and his laptop.After that, he calmly replied to Sharon Lindt’s text. “Okay. Understood…”Meanwhile, everyone started looking wild-eyed at each other again…Would Stanley have to give Xyla Quest a massage for half an hour every day after getting home?This…This seemed to make his status in the family even lower.After closing the WeChat application, Stanley o
