Chapter 2015


    X 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 X''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-inw 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, X seemedpletely 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 probably die before the demon even tried anything. Anyhow, their lives were in grave danger.


    The more X pondered over it, the sadder she felt, but she wasn''t about to give up no matter what.


    She tried to remain optimistic by telling herself that her children would live as long as they managed to find them in time.


    At this point, she felt as if she had hit rock bottom in life, feeling nothing but a sense of hopelessness.


    The doctor was still stitching her wound without any anesthetics due to the urgency of her situation earlier.


    X could feel the crippling pain where he was stitching but she didn''t cry out in pain at all.


    She was like a zombie at this point. Other than crying, she couldn''t do anything else. The glimmer in her eyes had disappeared along with her children.


    What used to be a dark sky full of stars in her eyes, they had now be cloudy due to worrying over her children.


    "X? X, don''t be like this," Sharon said to her. "Say something... anything. Please don''t scare me."


    She couldn''t control her tears as well as she spoke.


    Nevertheless, X didn''t respond or acknowledge her at all. It was as if she had lost the ability to react. She stared unseeingly and hopelessly at the ceiling, her pupils dted and unable to focus on anything at all.


    Tears continued to stream down her face, wetting her white pillowcase.


    Within a short time, the pillow was drenched from her tears.


    Sharon''s heart ached even more when she saw X''s wound.


    Inhaling deeply, Sharon nced at the doctor. "Be gentler, be gentler."


    The doctor nodded without saying anything and continued to stitch her wound.


    It took roughly ten minutes before the stitching wasplete without X making a sound throughout the entire process.


    She remained quiet even when her face had turned ashen, and her lips were bloody from her biting.


    She maintained the same posture all this while, crying as she lied still, staring at the ceiling.


    Once the stitching wasplete, the doctor disinfected her wound again before quickly wrapping it in ayer of bandage.


    By then, X''s wound had already be swollen, sending sharp pains shooting from it whenever something touched her wound.


    Yet, she still did not react other than to bite harder on her lips.


    Sweat drenched her body as a result of the physical and emotional pain.


    She hated her current state of being.


    If it had been a regr delivery, she could go with Stanley to look for her children instead of waiting there helplessly like an invalid. Seeing X like this made Sharon feel even more fearful.


    The elder woman trembled as she sat next to X and held her hand tightly. "Oh, child. Please say something. Don''t be like this. Will you please look at me? You only just delivered, so you shouldn''t be crying. Crying while you go through


    postpartum recovery will affect your eyes.”


    Initially, Sharon thought she''d be able to take good care of X during her recovery, perhaps even preventing her from shedding a single tear. However, it now seemed that she had been too optimistic.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Somebody made X cry, and Sharon wanted to know who was behind this. How could that person harm two weak and helpless children?


    When X heard what Sharon said, she took a deep breath and slowly lifted her gaze to her. "Mom, do you think my children will return to me?"


    Sharon felt even more troubled after hearing that question.


    Would they return? She really couldn''t be sure.


    Despite her own uncertainty, she held X''s hand tightly andforted her. "I''m sure they will. I believe my grandchildren will be fine. You''re such a good person, X. God wouldn''t let you lose them."


    X smiled bitterly but kept quiet.


    She was a good person in this lifetime. She was kind, and she worked hard. She always donated to the poor and did many charitable deeds. However, she did a lot of terrible things in her past life.


    X began praying in her heart as she closed her eyes. ''God, please look at me. If I''ve done terrible things in my past life, let me bear all the karma. Don''t let my two children suffer in my ce.


    ''Punish me! Since it''s my wrongdoings, why must my children bear the consequences? As long as my children are safe, I''m willing to do anything.'' Finishing her prayer, X bit her lip forcefully again, tasting blood, but she still felt numb.


    "We still aren''t sure of the situation yet. Your children might return very soon," Sharon added.


    She wished she could trade what remained of her life for X, Stanley Batton, and their children''s happiness. She didn''t want to see their family fall apart this way.


    Why was this happening?


    The medical staff members nearby had all heard some rumors about what happened, and even they couldn''t help but tear up.


    The doctor silently wiped his tears away before looking at Sharon. Then, he started to speak-
