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
The two children were floating mid-air despite not being supported by any object.The tubes connected to their bodies were gone, but they seemed to be in an even better state now than other babies born after a full-term pregnancy.Their bodies emitted golden light, lighting up the entire space around them with their glow.Stanley Batton and Yaksha had to look away due to how bright the light was.Suddenly, the light coming from them disappeared before the babies slowly drifted over to the two men, prompting them to reach out and catch them subconsciously.At that moment, they both looked shocked.Yaksha stayed silent and slowly carried the baby girl as he sat on the ground before checking her pulse.He seemed even more shocked when he was done.“What is it?” Stanley asked.Yaksha quickly stood up. “This kid seems even healthier than full-term babies. She’s healthy and won’t need to be kept in an insulated case. She won’t even need any medication.“Not only that, but I also se
