Yaksha didn’t answer Stanley Batton’s question directly. Instead, he changed the topic. “For your children, let’s name them Lynette Batton for the girl and Leon Batton for the boy.”Lynette Batton and Leon Batton.Stanley liked those names very much. "Okay."Yaksha beamed and then sped up his pace.Soon, they both arrived on the floor where Xyla Quest's ward was located with the two children.Right then, there were bodyguards everywhere. They seemed stunned when they saw the two men walking in with the missing babies.However, none of them dared to ask any questions and merely exchanged bewildered glances.The police were there not long ago to investigate. At the time, they still hadn’t found the children.So how did Stanley and an oddly attired masked man appear with the children suddenly?The nurses were equally surprised as they walked past the counter, prompting one of them to step forward to address Stanley respectfully.“Mr. Batton, please hurry up and bring the childre
People said that the end of science was the beginning of magic. Was that true?Were these children kidnapped by monsters?Did those monsters kidnap the children to heal them?The nurse felt deeply confused.Soon, all the nurses at the counter started talking amongst themselves, which was the only thing they dared to do.Stanley Batton had given specific instructions not to bring up anything in front of outsiders.Everyone in the country knew that offending Stanley Batton would result in a death sentence.After arriving in front of Xyla Quest’s ward, Stanley directly opened the door and walked in, eager to see his wife.He wanted to know how she was doing.Xyla was still sound asleep as the door opened.The sky was turning gray outside, signaling that nightfall was upon them.Sharon Lindt sat restlessly next to Xyla right then, so she was surprised to see her son and Yaksha entering with the children.She instantly sprang to her feet to greet them.All thoughts in her mind
As they spoke, the two children opened their eyes simultaneously.They both had large eyes and dark pupils, glimmering brightly.Just one look was enough to melt both Sharon Lindt and Stanley Batton’s hearts.Then, in the next second, the children smiled broadly.Sharon and Stanley were completely charmed by their smiles.Their grandmother became even more excited, beaming as she carefully held them. “Look! They actually smiled! This is unbelievable. Are you sure they’re the same weak, helpless babies?”They both peered up at Sharon, blinking at her as she spoke.Their eyes seemed to be conveying something. Sharon couldn’t stop smiling as she looked at them.‘They’re so adorable!’ she thought to herself.Stanley looked at them, chuckling before walking over to Xyla and sitting next to her. He then gently caressed her face. “How is Xyla? Was she all right this afternoon?”Sharon immediately sighed. “How else could she be? She was devastated. I asked her doctor to give her stab
“I noticed her eyes were bloodshot earlier. That might seem normal, but it isn’t. Usually, bloodshot eyes aren’t as red as this.“Also, I discovered a small, transparent cyst beneath her lower eyelid. Here, look,” Yaksha urged, slowly pulling Xyla Quest’s eyelid downward.Indeed, the cyst he mentioned was there.“There is! What’s going on?” Sharon Lindt gasped.Stanley Batton remained quiet and stared at Yaksha, who had his brows furrowed.“This transparent cyst… Xyla wouldn’t have felt anything. I wouldn’t have seen it if I hadn’t pulled her eyelid down intentionally. No one would think there's anything odd even if they had seen her bloodshot eyes.“The only thing that can cause the growth of such a cyst and bloodshot eyes would be spiritual poison,” he explained, turning to look at Stanley.“Can I tell you everything?” he added hesitantly.Stanley nodded slightly, knowing that what Yaksha was about to say probably involved mystical components.Science wouldn't be able to exp
“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
