Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 2240

Things were the same at home.

Sharon Lindt, Wilson Batton, the nannies, and the two children were on the playmat. The twins were laughing while the adults entertained them.

It was the sight Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton were used to seeing whenever they got home.

They went to wash their hands first before approaching their kids and eagerly took them from the nannies.

Xyla held onto Leon Batton while Stanley had Lte Batton in his arms.

The twins widened their smiles when they saw them.

The moment their eyes met, the couple's eyes lit up, as well.

"I'm going to visit Annabeth tonight," Sharon said with a smile on her face.

"It's Annabeth's delivery due date, isn't it?" Xyla asked.

"Yes, tomorrow's the date. Annabeth is already preparing for it in the hospital."

"Okay, I'll come with you," Xyla announced. "It's better to have an extra pair of hands."

"All right, sure," Sharon replied.

"I'm coming too," Stanley stated.

"You should stay at home to look after the children. Your father and I will go with Xyla," his mother replied, to which he nodded after a moment's consideration.

They'd be fine without him as there was already a fair few going.

Meanwhile, the inte was ablaze with news that Annabeth Cates was already at Municipal Hospital's advanced VIP ward.

The press rushed to the hospital but was kept outside the main entrance by the Batton family's security team sent in advance.

Huge crowds started to gather outside, but the team did a good job preventing traffic congestion.

Sharon, Xyla, and Wilson arrived at Municipal Hospital at ten o'clock that evening, pulling up in front of the entrance in their luxury car. That spurred countless reporters to start taking photos, their bright flashes making the car's interior look like a disco bar.

Right then, Josh Batton sat near his wife, chatting with her as she munched on an apple on her bed, one bite at a time. It was a heartwarming scene.

At times like this, she felt like a princess being pampered by the Batton family.

"We were worried, so we came to accompany you," Xyla told her.

Sharon immediately pulled Wilson and her forward to stand behind Josh, who stood up immediately to bring them extra chairs. They all sat down then.

"Yeah, that's right. You'll feel something very soon," Sharon stated confidently.

Her words were like a premonition.

Annabeth felt a strange sensation in her belly as soon as the words left her mother-in-law's lips.

It wasn't an intense feeling, but it made her feel a slight twinge of pain in her lower abdomen.

She frowned and gasped audibly.

Sharon nervously grasped her hand when she noticed. "Did you feel something?"

“Yeah. Mom, why does it feel like your words were a foreshadowing?” Annabeth asked with a helpless expression.

Sharon looked nervous and not in the right mood to joke around. "How do you feel now? Does it hurt a lot?"

Right then, the contraction suddenly ramped up, causing her stomach to ache intensely.
