The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 709

Chapter 709: How does he plan to live without her?

What is happiness?

When one asks that question, the answer varies depending on the person because everyone has a different meaning of happiness. But one thing everyone could agree on.

That was... everyone would protect their happiness.

They’d protect it with all their might, quick on their feet once someone posed a threat to it.

At least, that was what Atlas thought he would do.

But here he was, frozen on his feet as he stared at Lola lying on her stomach. Her back trembled, gasping for air as blood oozed from the side of her neck.

At the same time, the door flew open.

"First Brother!" Hugo’s voice thundered as he rushed in, only to freeze when he saw Atlas and then... Lola just a few steps away. "Sis!"

Without thinking twice, Hugo glided on his knees and pressed a hand on Lola’s wound. His eyes shook, seeing blood trickle from her mouth. Lola was still conscious, still fighting, enough to clasp Hugo’s wrist.

Following Hugo, Allen, Slater, Baby, and a few others arrived in a hurry. They had heard a gun go off and the loud shattering of glass. The moment they came in, the first thing they noticed was the shattered window, then Atlas’s frozen figure, before Lola and Hugo.

"Madam —" Allen’s breath hitched while Slater’s complexion paled. "Sis..."

"At..." Meanwhile, even when Lola was choking, she exerted the remaining strength she could to squeeze Hugo’s wrist. Her eyes shook, gasping and choking at the same time.

"At... las."

As soon as that reached Hugo’s ears, his already panicked eyes widened in disbelief. When his gaze finally met hers, all he saw was the worry in Lola’s eyes. It was as if she was asking him to go to Atlas first, to just let her be right now, and just go to Atlas.

Not that she didn’t know she was shot and dying, but rather, she knew she was shot right before her husband.

Hugo’s mouth quivered as the corners of his eyes reddened, unable to blink as she looked him straight in the eyes. When her eyes finally lowered, Hugo snapped out of his shock as he tried harder to stop her bleeding.

"No, no, no..." he panicked. "Sis! Wait — sis!"

"What are you still doing?!" Slater yelled, hysterical as he ran to Lola’s other side. "She’s bleeding!!!"

Allen, Baby, and everyone else already moved, panicking, acting on instinct. Some rushed out to catch the person who had opened fire in their territory, and a few rushed in to shield Hugo as he carried Lola.

It was chaos.

Yet, even when everyone moved and was quick on their feet, Atlas stayed rooted in the same spot. His eyes remained on the blood on the floor.

"Sir!" Allen jumped in front of him. "Sir!"

He was yelling, screaming right in front of him. But alas, his voice sounded distant every time.

Atlas’s wide eyes then followed the smudge on the floor, and then the trail of drops toward the door. There were more people in the room, but everyone around him was a blur.

When his gaze landed on the entrance, a quiet voice escaped him. "Lo..."

"Sir —" Allen finally grabbed Atlas’s shoulders and shook him, forcing his boss to look him in the eye. But the moment they locked eyes, Allen’s face twisted. His eyes mirrored the face of a man who was just in utter shock, as if everything had yet registered in his mind.

Or rather, if Allen were going to base it on Atlas’s personality, it looked like his boss had just broken.

For someone as brilliant as Atlas, who analyzed things differently but efficiently... it looked like a machine finally glitching. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Sir," Allen breathed out, his grip on Atlas’s shoulder tightening. "Please, get a hold of yourself."

Gone.
