She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 47

Returning to the ward, Quinn found her mother awake. Martha's eyes immediately locked onto her daughter's noticeably thinner face, her heart aching with maternal grief.

"Quinn, your face... it's so pale. Are you sick?"

Quinn wrapped her arms around her mother. "No, Mom. I'm perfectly healthy. Don't worry about me."

Stepping out of the facility later, Quinn received a call from Eleanor. The older woman had lined up a high-profile gig for her.

"There's an exclusive international reception at Star-Lite Grand Hotel in a few days. Are you available for live translation?"

"Your standard rate is a thousand, but the client is willing to pay five thousand. It'll only take about two hours."

Quinn smiled into the receiver. "Eleanor, that's way too much. I'm free every afternoon this week. Have them send over the project files so I can prep. Drinks are on me once this is done."

Eleanor absolutely loved Quinn's straightforward, down-to-earth professionalism. She chuckled warmly.

"Deal. I'll shoot the files over in a minute."

It only proved what Eleanor always believed: the most brilliantly talented people were always the most fiercely humble.

...

The next day dawned with gorgeous, sun-drenched spring weather.

Quinn and Yara met up to take the kids to the amusement park. Given that Caleb was a literal genius compared to kids his age...

He utterly demolished the park's trivia contest, hauling in an armful of prizes.

His loot included a pair of cartoon sunglasses, a Space Warrior cap, and a massive stash of snacks.

Quinn placed the cap on his head, beaming with maternal pride as she planted a huge kiss on his cheek.

"So amazing! My little guy is officially a Space Warrior protecting the galaxy."

Luna's massive, bright eyes sparkled like diamonds. "Wow! Caleb, that hat looks so good on you. You look so cool and handsome!"

Caleb grinned, buzzing with excitement over the giant donut lollipops he'd also won.

Knowing his sister's sweet tooth, he immediately surrendered his lollipops and dumped the rest of his snack stash into her hands.

"Here, Luna, this is for you."

Luna squealed in pure joy, hyping him up with her impossibly cute voice. "My brother is a galaxy defender! So cool! Thank you!"

The pint-sized genius shook his head with the calm authority of a forty-year-old CEO. "Mom, it's fine. Stay with Luna. I won't go far."

Quinn knew her son wasn't normal; his intellect heavily outclassed every kid his age, and he had never once given her a reason to panic. Seeing the exhibit was literally steps away, she relented.

"Alright. I'll stay with your sister and come find you in a bit. Do not wander off."

"Don't worry, Mom. If anything happens, I'll call you. Just go have fun with Luna."

Yara had already dragged Luna into the queue. The little girl waved frantically. "Mommy, I'm over here!"

Inside the tech pavilion, Miles and Jade were touring the robotics exhibit with Leo, who was dressed head-to-toe in obnoxious designer labels.

From a distance, they looked like the picture-perfect nuclear family.

The second Leo spotted the miniature robots, his eyes locked on them like laser beams.

Miles's phone buzzed, and he stepped away to take the call.

Leo aggressively ripped his hand from Jade's grip. "Mom, that robot looks fun. I wanna play with it."
