Ch. 1441..1450
Chapter 1441
Xyla Quest had expected to win in this competition.
Hence, she only smiled slightly. After that, she calmly led Noah Smith and the others to shake their opponents' hands.
Once that ended, everyone walked onto the stage to bow deeply to the audience before leaving together.
In this competition, everyone on the team dealt the maximum amount of damage possible. In addition, Xyla dealt 25,000 damage on her own.
Meanwhile, Noah dealt 22,000 damage. The other players all dealt over 15,000 damage each.
Even the Support dealt 10,000 damage.
The live stream channel-
"Hahaha... Is this the legendary Kassadin that could cause the opponent's base to explode at level sixteen? They lost before Kassadin even reached level sixteen. Hahaha..."
"I still think Team Number One's formation is better. Team CE's formation is too weak..."
"Hahaha... Do the commentators feel humiliated?"
"Let's sign a petition for Noah Miller to change his profession and join the eSports industry! Then, he could easily get the title of FMVP in the global finals..."
"Hahaha... I feel awkward on behalf of the commentators..."
"Where are those who supported Team CE in the live stream channel? Come out! I want you to admit defeat on your knees!"
Likewise, the audience below the stage were shocked, their eyes wide open...
Apart from screaming, everyone couldn't find any other way to express how this competition had stunned them...
"D*mn. Team CE, what the hell is this..." Commentator A said.
"I told you. It's really hard to predict this because they're Team CE..." Commentator B said.
"Team CE exists solely to humiliate me, right? This competition is making me want to call them 'Daddy'!" Commentator A said.
Amidst the screaming, the beautiful emcee, Stella, walked to the center of the stage in a white, tight-fitting, traditional dress. She smiled at the audience below the stage. "Let's congratulate Team CE for winning League of Legends' ninth-anniversary celebrity talent competition...
"Next up, it'll be the post-competition interview. So please join me in inviting Team CE's Jungler, who is also a currently popular celebrity in the entertainment industry, Noah Miller, as well as president of X Entertainment, the wife of Dragon Group's boss, and president of Quest Group, Xyla Quest..." The emcee said.
When the live audience heard that Noah and Xyla would be interviewed, they couldn't help but scream again...
Noah and Xyla's young female fans were about to go crazy.
While over ten thousand people watched, Xyla led Noah over to Stella.
Stella's idol was Noah himself. As soon as she saw Noah, she felt as if she would soon go crazy...
However, Stella forcefully suppressed the excitement in her heart. Instead, she pretended to be calm while standing next to Noah with a smile on her face. "Noah, you performed well today. A lot of people are saying that they hope you'd consider a career in the eSports industry... What are your thoughts on this?"
When Noah heard this, he smiled a little. The smile reached the depths of his beautiful eyes. "I'll consider this when I can no longer work in the entertainment industry..."
"From what I know, the officials once wanted to hire you to play as Support, but you rejected the offer... Why was that?” Stella asked.
"That's because I don't like playing as Support..." Noah said.
Right then, Catherine Batton was watching the celebrity talent competition's live stream on her own through the phone in the living room of the Batton family's residence... When Catherine heard Noah saying this, she couldn't resist rolling her eyes at him. "Why doesn't this person even blush when he lies?"
Clearly, Noah did an excellent job at being her Support previously.
Moreover, he even told her that his favorite position was Support.
Why did he change his mind now?
Clearly, celebrities didn't provide simple answers when they spoke. Were these things scripted?
Why did his company set his image up as someone who didn't like playing Support?
"In that case, does that mean you've never played as Support for anyone in this game? Or rather, you don't easily play Support for others?" Stella asked.
"I don't easily play Support for others..." Noah replied.
When Catherine saw this, she couldn't resist rolling her eyes at him again...
Chapter 1442
Chapter 1442
After that, Catherine Batton couldn't help but murmur to herself. "Indeed, the entertainment industry is all fake... Won't easily play as Support for others? In that case, why did you beg to play as my Support every day?"
Catherine really couldn't understand why Noah Miller's company would prepare such a script for him.
"In that case... Noah Miller, I would like to know, what kind of person would you play as Support for?" Stella asked.
"It's a secret..." Noah said.
Catherine helplessly shook her head. 'This guy makes it sound so mysterious. Clearly, he'd play as Support for anyone, alright?' she thought.
When Catherine thought of this, she instantly sent Noah a WeChat message. "Fake..."
Very soon, Noah's phone started vibrating on stage.
However, he ignored it because he was on stage.
"Alright... Since that's the case, I'll stop asking you about it. I really like you. I hope I can get your autograph later," Stella said.
"Sure. Thank you," Noah said.
Although Stella was extremely passionate, Noah remained indifferent throughout the interview. He would answer whatever was asked, but nothing more.
He wouldn't even take a double take at Stella.
Stella felt both nervous and disappointed in her heart.
Realizing that she had left Xyla Quest out, Stella quickly walked over to Xyla and smiled apologetically. "Ms. Quest, you've done well today... I'm very curious. Who led the banning phase for the team today?" "It's me..." Xyla smiled a little.
"Alright... Amazing. Based on what I know, you came to the competition on a helicopter today... Your husband even personally came to protect you. You really are lucky..." Stella said.
When Xyla heard this, she smiled again. Her eyes were filled with joy and sweetness. "That's because I was going to be late. Hence, we had to do that."
Right then, the air-conditioning in the stadium was suddenly turned off...
The temperature in the entire stadium instantly rose.
That was because the stadium was completely sealed up. Besides, there were many people inside. Hence, even if it was autumn, people still felt the heat. However, Xyla's expression didn't seem affected at all.
"In that case, how would you rate your performance today?" Stella asked.
"Nine, probably. I'll deduct one point so that I won't feel proud..." Xyla said.
Stella's smile widened. "Ms. Quest, you're truly humorous..."
Right then, Xyla felt increasingly warmer.
Soon, her body began to sweat.
Beads of sweat kept forming on her neck. The red marks that were perfectly concealed before were now noticeable.
Xyla's neck was extremely fair.
For that very reason, the red marks appeared even more obvious...
The broadcasting director was doing a close-up shot of Xyla right then.
When everyone saw Xyla's neck, they were shocked...
Basically, these were all adults. They couldn't possibly not know what the marks on Xyla's neck meant.
The audience below the stage instantly couldn't resist talking amongst themselves-
"D*mn... Stanley looks cold, but he's actually such a passionate person in private?"
"Ahh... I'm imagining things again. He's a god who is cold but full of desire. Isn't that very charming?"
"Ahh... I didn't think Stanley would be like this. Xyla, you're unbelievably lucky!"
"I think I know why Xyla was late... The case has been solved!"
Meanwhile, Stanley Batton also noticed Xyla's neck...
His face remained expressionless. He slowly waved at a nearby bodyguard standing on the walkway. That bodyguard quickly walked up to Stanley.
Chapter 1443
Chapter 1443
"Go to the lighting technician and ask him to dim the lights on stage slightly..." Stanley Batton said blandly.
The bodyguard nodded politely before quickly walking away.
A few ten seconds later, the stage lights dimmed...
The marks on Xyla Quest's neck gradually became less visible in the darkness.
Meanwhile, Xyla was completely unaware of all of this. She continued to hold the microphone, answering Stella's questions.
Although Stella was surprised to see the footage, she didn't say anything about it.
She pretended not to have seen anything and continued to interview Xyla...
Meanwhile, Noah Smith maintained an affectionate smile on his face...
Although Stanley's rescue measures were on point, what needed to be seen was already seen.
Those who needed to take pictures of it had also done it...
Approximately one minute later, '#Xyla Quest's love bites#' instantly claimed the first spot on Weibo's list of hot topics...
Very soon, the word 'explosive' appeared at the end of the hot topic.
Inside the topic, various fans published videos and photos of Xyla Quest with love bites all over her neck while she was being interviewed on stage at the competition venue... Regardless of whether it was in the videos or pictures, the love bites looked unusually apparent.
People went wild in the topic's comment section-
"Ahh... It must have been very intense... I'm becoming a pervert..."
"She looks like a little fairy, pure yet desirable... Isn't she perfect?"
"I find it a little hard to look at Stanley directly. Apart from amazing, what else can I say?"
Meanwhile, at the competition venue, Stanley very soon saw the hot topic on Weibo...
His gaze remained calm.
Without any unnecessary emotion in his eyes, he immediately called Zack Cassidy on the phone. "Weibo's number one hot topic... Get rid of it..."
If Xyla saw a hot topic like this, she would certainly feel uncomfortable.
Hence, Stanley had to remove it before Xyla saw it.
Soon, the post-competition interview ended.
Xyla and Noah bowed deeply to the audience below the stage before getting off the stage.....
After arriving backstage, Xyla looked at Noah. "Why did you keep smiling when you looked at me on the stage?"
Noah looked pointedly at her neck before walking away...
With a confused look on her face, Xyla complained in her heart. 'How odd...'
Beep, beep, beep-
Right then, Xyla's phone started ringing.
When she saw that the call was from Stanley, she immediately stopped walking. She leaned against the wall nearby and answered the call. "What is it, honey?" "Stay where you are and wait for me... Don't enter the restroom..." Stanley said.
"Okay..."
." Xyla had a confused look on her face.
Although she didn't know why Stanley was doing this, she still decided to wait for him where she was.
Staff members kept walking past Xyla, and each of them would smile when they looked at her.
For some unknown reason, Xyla found their smiles a little weird...
However, she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Approximately one minute later, Stanley walked up to Xyla.
Without saying anything, Stanley wrapped a white, silk scarf he had found somewhere around her neck. Moreover, he made an intricate butterfly knot.
Right then, Xyla's vision suddenly went dark. She had passed out...
Chapter 1444
Chapter 1444
When Stanley Batton saw this happening, he instantly panicked...
Just before Xyla Quest hit the ground, Stanley grabbed her at lightning speed. Then, he smoothly caught her in his arms. Although Stanley was usually unshakeable even in the face of adversity, he was now thoroughly unsettled.
"Xyla... Wake up. What happened to you?" Stanley called out, distressed, as he carried Xyla.
However, Xyla didn't react at all.
Stanley immediately ignored everything else and dashed to the backdoor, passing through the crowd with Xyla in his arms...
At this moment, he didn't care about his image or anything else.
He ran like the wind. The concern and panic on his face could no longer be concealed...
When the staff in charge of backdoor security and the bodyguards Stanley brought saw this, they quickly moved forward...
After that, one of the bodyguards immediately opened the helicopter's cabin door for Stanley.
Stanley quickly placed Xyla on the co-pilot's seat. He used the safety belt to fix her body in place so that she wouldn't fall.
Right after that, Stanley quickly got into the helicopter before starting it up. Then, he brought the helicopter into the air and flew toward the municipal hospital.
When the other bodyguards saw this, they quickly got into their respective helicopters.
A few of the leading members immediately contacted other bodyguards who weren't at the scene. These other bodyguards were asked to gather and catch up with Stanley's helicopter. The pilot's cabin was lit up. It was bright as day.
Under the bright light, Xyla's face appeared unusually pale. There wasn't any shade of color on her face.
Stanley's mind became completely chaotic right then. He felt very distraught.
A few minutes later, Xyla was wheeled into the municipal hospital's emergency room.
Stanley interlaced his fingers tightly with his head down as he sat on a long bench outside the emergency room. His heart was beating extremely fast.
He was the kind of person who would remain calm when there was a landslide in front of him.
In the past, Stanley used to think that nothing in the world could make him panic.
However, ever since he met Xyla, he realized that it wasn't the case...
Regardless of how strong one was and how immune one was to all sorts of poison and ammunition, one would still have weaknesses. Meanwhile, Xyla was undoubtedly his weakness.
As long as there was any slight problem with Xyla, Stanley would panic like a three-year-old child.
All his posh demeanor and rationality would fade away completely.
Soon, the one thousand bodyguards Stanley had brought with him previously gathered around him.
These bodyguards knew that Stanley wasn't in a good mood. Hence, they didn't dare to make a sound or say a word.
They lined up in two rows along the long walkway with their heads respectfully lowered.
The atmosphere felt extremely tense.
It was almost pin-drop silence.
Approximately five minutes later, the emergency room's door was opened.
The deputy director, Stephen Harris, walked out and slowly removed his white medical mask.
"How did it go?" Stanley's heart suddenly lifted a little.
Stephen chuckled. He walked up to Stanley. "Congratulations..."
"Congratulations?" Stanley looked confused.
"Your wife, Ms. Xyla, is pregnant..." Stephen said.
At that moment, Stanley felt even more dumbfounded. His mind went blank...
The emotions in the bottom of his heart went from their lowest point to the highest peak instantly.
Within a short period, Stanley went from being utterly depressed to being insanely overjoyed. He couldn't quite process it.
Chapter 1445
Chapter 1445
After a few seconds, Stanley Batton subconsciously smiled. "Really?"
At this moment, he was as happy as a child...
Stephen Harris nodded. "Yes... She's already been pregnant for six weeks. I just checked. In fact, she has twins..."
Stanley became even happier...
He was going to be a father...
In fact, he would be a father of two!
"What about Xyla? How is she doing now? Why did she pass out? Is that a normal reaction in the first trimester, or is it due to pregnancy hypoglycemia?" Stanley asked worriedly. He was more concerned about Xyla than about the kids.
"It is related to pregnancy hypoglycemia, but it's not very serious. Just make sure she takes sufficient glucose from now on. I'll prescribe some glucose cubes for you later. Give her a single cube during each meal of the day...
"Apart from that, pregnant ladies must have proper nutrition and a fixed dining schedule. For someone like her who has pregnancy hypoglycemia, you must pay extra attention..." Stephen said each word carefully.
Stanley committed everything he said to memory.
"To be honest, pregnancy hypoglycemia is a very normal phenomenon. So you don't have to worry. Once babies are born, it will usually go away...
"As long as we pay attention and keep things under control, there won't be any issues... On top of that, make sure she comes for a prenatal checkup every month. I'll send the prenatal checkup appointment schedule to you through text when the time comes..." Stephen added.
Stanley once again committed everything he heard to memory...
"Alright..." Stanley replied calmly.
"Ms. Quest is getting her intravenous glucose infusion right now. She should be awake very soon. Once the infusion is done, she'll be able to leave... So if you're worried about her now, you can go inside and have a look," Stephen said.
Stanley nodded before getting up and entering the emergency room.
Inside the emergency room, Xyla was lying on a brightly lit emergency bed on her own while receiving the intravenous glucose infusion.
Her consciousness was slowly returning. Gradually, she opened her eyes...
There were six nurses standing guard around her carefully. Each of them had a serious look on their face.
The moment Stanley entered, all the nurses were stunned by his good looks...
Each of them felt flustered.
However, Stanley didn't even look at them. Instead, he walked directly over to Xyla. "How do you feel?" he asked.
Right then, Xyla's face hadn't recovered its color yet. Her face was as pale as her lips.
"I feel much better..." Xyla said.
"What happened to me?" she asked.
Stanley nodded before half-kneeling on the ground as he looked at Xyla's face. "Hmm. The doctor said you're pregnant... You passed out due to pregnancy hypoglycemia." When Xyla heard this, she felt overjoyed. "Really? Am I pregnant?"
The news took Xyla by surprise.
Xyla and Stanley had at first decided on not having children for the time being.
They also did well in terms of birth control.
Xyla really didn't expect that she would still become pregnant despite that...
Did they happen to use a torn condom?
It seemed like this was the only possibility.
Initially, Xyla thought that she would focus more on her career while she was still young. She wanted to delay having children.
All of this surpassed her expectations.
Apart from feeling surprised, Xyla also felt a greater sense of joy.
That was because these were her and Stanley's children.
Although her plan had been messed up, she was still happy...
"I know you didn't want to have kids so soon. If you don't want to, we don't have to..." Stanley said.
Chapter 1446
Chapter 1446
"Or you might find pregnancy hypoglycemia unbearable. We could choose not to have children if that's the case," Stanley Batton said each word carefully.
There was a look of complete sincerity in his eyes.
These were his genuine thoughts.
Although Stanley really wanted to have children with Xyla Quest and was truly happy about it, he still respected Xyla's decision.
Since they had gotten married, Xyla had always had the final say.
When Xyla heard this, her heart instantly felt warmed. "Idiot... Since I'm already pregnant by accident, there's no reason to abort the babies... They have lives of their own, and they're the result of our love. "Indeed, I didn't want to have children so soon. But since the children are here, I don't want an abortion...
"Abortion is a ruthless behavior. I don't want to hurt them...
"Don't worry. I'll raise the children well," Xyla said softly. With that, she couldn't resist extending her hand to touch her stomach gently...
When Xyla thought about how two life forms were growing in her stomach, she felt a warm sensation in her heart. It was as if some part of her heart was going to melt.
Xyla never knew that being a mother would feel this wonderful.
"But you'll have to suffer a lot during pregnancy. Are you ready for that?" Stanley asked.
"Yeah... I want the two of them. I don't want an abortion... No matter how much suffering is required, I'll keep them..." Xyla said.
"Alright... As you wish," Stanley said.
When Xyla heard this, she smiled satisfactorily before raising her hand to ruffle Stanley's hair. "Hmm, good boy..."
All the nurses in the room were stunned by what they had just witnessed.
Although they had seen many good husbands in the hospital, this was the first time they'd seen one as good as Stanley.
Suddenly, they felt even more envious of Xyla...
Who was god's favorite person?
This woman before them was probably her...
"Honey... Thank you..." Xyla said.
"Silly girl. I'm your husband. It's only fitting that I respect you and worry about you...
"There's nothing more important in this world. Not even the children," Stanley said. His eyes were full of love.
His affectionate words made Xyla feel as if she was submerged in a jar of honey.
Meanwhile, the nurses nearby all felt so envious that they might soon go crazy.
"Stephen said that you have pregnancy hypoglycemia... I'll take good care of you during the pregnancy period... I'll cut down on work to spend more time with you..." Stanley said.
Xyla immediately shook her head. "Don't overdo it. I can take care of myself," she said.
"Silly girl. A pregnant lady must be taken care of properly. Alright, it's been decided," Stanley said assertively.
"Don't let your work be affected because of me..." Xyla said.
Chapter 1447
Chapter 1447
"Don't worry. I can maintain a fine balance," Stanley Batton said.
Beep, beep, beep-
Right then, Sharon Lidnt called Stanley on the phone.
Stanley immediately walked out of the emergency room with his phone in his hand before picking the call up. "Hello, Mom."
"Why did I read on the news that Xyla passed out backstage during League of Legends' ninth-anniversary celebrity talent competition? Although there aren't any pictures as proof, the text seemed convincing. So is it true or not?" Sharon Lindt sounded very concerned.
"It's true..." Stanley replied as he lazily leaned against the wall.
The cold, white light that shone upon his face made his facial features appear unusually cold and harsh. Even his aura seemed to be getting colder.
"What? What happened? Which hospital is Xyla in?" Sharon sounded even more worried.
"The municipal hospital..." Stanley said.
"Why did she pass out? Did you abuse Xyla? Did you not feed her well? Is that why she suffered from hypoglycemia?" Sharon sounded increasingly worried. In fact, she even sounded a little angry. "Calm down and listen to me first..." Stanley said.
"Alright, go ahead... Tell me, how have you been looking after Xyla?" Sharon's tone worsened.
Stanley pinched his forehead helplessly before letting out a long sigh. "She's pregnant... She passed out due to pregnancy hypoglycemia... However, it's not serious. The doctor said she'd be fine as long as her daily life is regulated..."
"Ahh!" Sharon immediately shouted in joy when she heard this.
On the other end of the phone, Sharon jumped to her feet from the sofa in the living room of a suburban, castle-like villa. She screamed as she laughed joyfully. Wilson Batton, who was paying close attention to what Stanley said, was taken by surprise...
When Wilson saw Sharon behaving like this, he instantly helplessly shook his head...
However, he soon stood up excitedly too. "Is Xyla really pregnant?"
Sharon excitedly pressed on the loudspeaker button...
"Dad, Mom... Don't be too excited yet..." Stanley said.
"Ahh... How could we not be excited? Our baby Xyla is pregnant. We're going to have a newborn in the Batton family... How could I not be excited?" Sharon laughed as she spoke. Her eyes kept glowing. "Stan... Tell me, which hospital are you two at? I'll come over right away..." Wilson seemed equally joyous. He was speaking very fast. The feeling of ecstasy in his heart could no longer be concealed... Even through the phone, Stanley could clearly sense how happy his parents were...
"The municipal hospital..." Stanley said truthfully.
"I'll come over with your father right away. But, before we arrive, you must take good care of Xyla, understood? Xyla is now our family's treasure...
"Listen to me, Stanley. From today on, you will cut down on work and spend more time with Xyla. Understood?
"Also, you must pay closer attention to Xyla's diet and lifestyle... If she experiences even a tiny bit of discomfort, you'll be dead..." Sharon said with a serious expression on her face. She was so excited that her hands couldn't stop trembling.
"Alright, alright..." Stanley nodded repeatedly.
"We'll come over right now! Send me your location!" Sharon exclaimed.
With that, Sharon quickly hung up. After that, she hugged Wilson tightly as she hopped up and down excitedly. "Ahh... Honey, Xyla is pregnant... There's going to be a newborn in the Batton family... Oh my god! We're going to be grandparents..."
"Yeah... Yeah... Alright, let's not get carried away. Let's go and visit Xyla at the hospital first..." Wilson said.
Wilson couldn't wait to see Xyla right now.
Chapter 1448
Chapter 1448
Sharon Lindt nodded furiously. "Yes, yes. We will head over right away. However, honey, before we go, I think we should prepare a gift for Xyla..."
"We must give her something for getting pregnant with the Batton family's heir..." Sharon said.
"You can decide. Out of all the precious items in our family, you can give her anything you want," Wilson Batton said without hesitation.
"Forget it... I think small gifts aren't enough at all. Let's just give Xyla property. We'll give her three of our high-class apartments in the city center. Add Xyla's name to the ownership documents later..." Sharon said in a clear-cut manner. She didn't hesitate at all.
Wilson also nodded without hesitation. "Alright... Now, can we visit our daughter-in-law at the hospital?"
Sharon nodded repeatedly. "Yes. Let's go, hurry up..."
When Catherine Batton came down the stairs, she saw that Wilson and Sharon both seemed excited.
Her eyes instantly filled with curiosity. "Dad, Mom, what are you two so excited about?"
"Your sister-in-law is pregnant. We're going to be grandparents... So hurry up, get ready. Come with us to the hospital to visit your sister-in-law..." Sharon added.
"Huh! Really? That's awesome! Wait for me while I change!" Catherine said before running back up the stairs. She was so excited that her entire body trembled. Sharon was feeling completely flustered.
She stood still for a few minutes before realizing that she was still wearing her pajamas.
After looking at the pajamas she was wearing, she quickly ran upstairs to change into outdoor attire...
***
Half an hour later, Wilson personally flew Sharon and Catherine over to the municipal hospital in a helicopter.
After the helicopter landed, the three of them arrived in front of Xyla Quest's emergency room based on the location Stanley Batton had sent them.
Right then, Xyla had just finished getting her intravenous glucose infusion. She was resting on the bed...
After the three of them entered, they quickly surrounded Xyla.
Right then, Xyla's face was still pale.
When Sharon saw Xyla like this, the joy in her heart instantly disappeared. "Oh god... Xyla, you poor girl. Your face looks ashen. You must feel awful, right?" However, Xyla shook her head. "I'm fine. After getting the intravenous glucose infusion, I'm feeling better..."
"Really?" Sharon asked.
Xyla nodded. "Yes..."
Wilson glanced at Xyla briefly with an aching heart. After that, he let out a long sigh. "It's not easy when a woman gets pregnant..."
Because it wasn't easy, they felt extremely grateful to Xyla for bearing the children of the Batton family.
Xyla chuckled. "Anyway, everybody goes through the same thing. If other people can do it, I can too. So you don't have to be worried about me," she said. Xyla could sense how nervous and worried her parents-in-law were.
Right then, Xyla's heart was full of warmth.
"Xyla, congratulations..." Catherine said softly.
"Thank you, Catherine..." Xyla said.
"I forgot to tell you that she's pregnant with twins..." Stanley kneeled on one leg once again as he gently caressed Xyla's face. His eyes were full of affection. "Twins? That's amazing..." Sharon complimented.
The joy in Wilson's eyes was overflowing.
"However, we still don't know their gender. I hope we get a boy and a girl... That would be perfect..." Xyla said while gently caressing her stomach.
Chapter 1449
Chapter 1449
"Yeah, yeah... If that's the case, it'd be great... However, having twins would be much more torturous for Xyla compared to normal pregnancy... I feel bad for you," Sharon Lindt said truthfully. After saying that, she leaned over and caressed Xyla Quest's face gently.
Xyla immediately felt warm in her heart. "It's fine. Don't all women have to go through this? Becoming a mother is a wonderful thing. I like the idea a lot..."
Sharon's smile gradually widened. She had a kind expression on her face. "As long as you like it."
"Stan, you ought to take good care of Xyla from now on..." Wilson Batton looked at Stanley Batton while speaking seriously.
"Pregnancy is the most challenging period in a woman's life. This is when she needs her husband to take good care of her...
"Also, pregnant women tend to have unstable emotions. We must first agree that no matter how unstable Xyla gets emotionally, you must tolerate her... "You must be able to bear being hit and yelled at, and you must take care of all the housechores. Understand?" Wilson continued to speak in a serious tone. All the nurses standing nearby were shocked when they heard this...
Who would've thought that parents-in-law from a wealthy family could be this nice?
They really were able to be considerate toward their daughter-in-law in every aspect.
In fact, they would even allow their son to be hit and yelled at, and he even had to take care of all the housechores...
Was this how being loved by an entire family felt like?
These women were truly envious!
"I understand..." Stanley looked at Wilson with a serious expression as he answered.
When Xyla heard the conversation between Wilson and Stanley, a joyful smile appeared on her face once again.
"Xyla, you don't have to be too nice to Stanley. Make use of him in whichever way you want.
"You'll be giving birth to his children. He should work like your slave. From now on, whatever it is that you want to eat, get him to buy it or cook it for you... "Even if it's in the middle of the night, just do it," Sharon said.
"Alright... I'll remember that." Xyla nodded with a smile.
"Stanley, will you remember that?" Sharon looked at Stanley and asked with a serious look.
Stanley nodded. "Yes, yes. I'll remember that..."
"Also, remember what I said before. If you're not good to your wife, you'll be dead," Wilson added.
Stanley nodded again.
"Xyla, would you like to eat anything now? I'll go home and cook for you..." Sharon looked at Xyla affectionately as she asked.
"I don't feel hungry yet," Xyla said truthfully.
"You need to eat even if you're not hungry. Why don't I go home and make something for you... When will you be discharged from the hospital?" Sharon asked. "It'll only be a while," Xyla said.
"Alright. In that case, I'll send you home later. After that, I'll cook something nice for you at your house," Sharon insisted. "You really don't have to... Stanley can do it. You and Dad shouldn't trouble yourselves." Xyla felt a little embarrassed.
Although being pregnant was a huge deal for the family, Xyla felt it wasn't necessary to cause such a huge commotion.
"I insist... If you refuse me, I'll get upset." Sharon suddenly became serious.
"Don't... I'll listen to you," Xyla said helplessly.
Sharon immediately smiled happily. "That's more like it," she said.
After listening to the family's conversation, the nurses began looking at each other enviously...
"Oh, right. Xyla..." Sharon wanted to say something but stopped herself short.
Chapter 1450
Chapter 1450
"Mom, go ahead and say it..." Xyla Quest said.
"What do you think if your father and I moved over to stay with you? That way, I can look after you at all times..." Sharon Lindt said.
Sharon spontaneously came up with that idea. Mainly because she really took Xyla's pregnancy seriously. Moreover, she felt worried... Sharon knew how tough it was to be pregnant since she'd given birth to six children before.
On top of that, Sharon also felt very grateful to Xyla for giving birth to the next generation in the family. Sharon's heart also went out to Xyla. She hoped she could look after Xyla and make Xyla the happiest pregnant woman in the world.
Not only was Xyla good-looking and capable, but she was talented in every way.
Girls like her deserved to be protected, loved, cherished, and treated like a treasure in one's possession.
Sharon didn't want her darling daughter-in-law to experience any unhappiness or accident.
The Batton family must have collectd many good karmas in the last eight centuries to find a daughter-in-law like Xyla.
Sharon needed to shower Xyla with adoration like what her grandfather said.
When Xyla heard this, she immediately shook her head. "This really won't be necessary. I can look after myself, and Stanley can look after me too..."
Xyla didn't think being pregnant was that big a deal. She didn't need to be surrounded by people or be treated like a princess.
"Are you afraid that your father and I might disturb your daily life by moving over? Don't worry. We definitely won't disturb you," Sharon added.
Xyla immediately shook her head again. "Of course not... I just don't want to trouble the two of you. To be honest, I don't think being pregnant is a huge deal..."
However, Sharon suddenly became serious. "What do you mean it's not a big deal? Even the entire Dragon Group isn't as important as this... However, since you don't like us being there... We won't go..." Sharon was only offering this as a suggestion. She'd leave everything else to be decided by Xyla and Stanley.
When Xyla heard this, she immediately started explaining. "It's not that I don't like it, but I just don't want to trouble the two of you. You two should enjoy retirement properly... Don't worry. If the two of us can't take care of me, we'll just hire a nanny...'
After hearing this, Sharon felt that it made sense. She immediately snapped her fingers. "Hmm, Xyla... Your considerations are good. It has been decided then."
Xyla nodded and smiled. "Hmm. Thank you for being concerned, Mom," Xyla said.
However, Sharon shrugged nonchalantly. "Silly child. I've told you, we're family. So you don't have to be so polite. You're bearing children for the next generation in our family. So it's only right that I'm concerned about you...
"As your mother-in-law, I must treat you well. Mothers-in-law who are not nice to their daughters-in-law are all fools..." Sharon said. She couldn't resist laughing after that.
When Xyla heard what Sharon said, she also couldn't resist laughing.
Catherine Batton felt envious watching the two of them talking to each other.
"Xyla, if there's anything you want to eat or drink... As long as I'm in the country, you can tell me..." Catherine said.
Catherine was also thrilled that Xyla became pregnant...
She looked forward to new lives being born in the Batton family.
"Alright... Thank you, Catherine." Xyla smiled while she nodded.
However, Catherine chuckled. "Don't worry about it."

After resting in the hospital for a while and getting glucose tablets, Xyla returned home accompanied by Wilson Batton, Sharon, Catherine, and Stanley Batton. As soon as they arrived home, Sharon carefully helped Xyla over to the sofa and sat down with her.
