Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

Xyla Quest instantly became curious upon seeing Sharon Lindt's expression. "Mom, what is it that you want to say?"

"Nothing much. I just wanted to tell you not to worry too much. Your children will be fine," Sharon said.

Although she was trying to comfort Xyla, she was just as worried about her grandchildren.

"Stan had already contacted his grandfather. He'll be here very soon," she added.

"Okay, I'll try not to worry too much. You should do the same," Xyla replied softly, also attempting to comfort her mother-in-law.

She also felt very concerned whenever she thought about her newborn twins. However, there was nothing she could do about the situation except to let fate decide. Xyla's babies had been in her stomach for over six months. They shared the same blood, and they'd spent so much time together. A deep bond had long developed.

She didn't dare imagine what would become of her if she lost her children.

They had become a part of her.

They were also the most vulnerable part of her.

If they were gone, she would be devastated.

When Xyla thought of them, she couldn't help but recall how they were connected to various tubes. She could picture how small, weak, and helpless they seemed in the thermal case.

They were still so tiny. Why did they have to go through so much pain?

Why were other babies in other families delivered safely but not hers?

The more she pondered about it, the worse she felt.

Sharon could imagine what was going through Xyla's mind, but she didn't comment on it. Instead, she continued to caress Xyla's face gently. "Honey, would you like to eat something?" Xyla shook her head, not feeling up to eating anything.

When Sharon saw Xyla like this, she felt equally sad.
