The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 810

Chapter 810: Lift It Now!

Extinguishing the fire caused by the explosives was no easy task. After all, everyone needed to remain cautious, as another bomb could still go off if there were more hidden around. But with so many people working tirelessly in the field for hours, they were certain they could put everything out in less than a full day.

Riding in the truck back to the holy grounds, Lola sorted through her thoughts to stop herself from focusing on the safe room. Otherwise, she might spiral.

When they neared the site, she snapped her eyes up and saw countless people moving through the thinning smoke of the crumbled buildings.

"..." Her lips pressed into a thin line as she stared at the ruins, the result of last night’s battle.

Just yesterday, the holy grounds had stood gloriously, with old buildings surrounding the entire landscape. Now, aside from the people, there were only ruins and smoke still rising into the air. To think it had been over eight hours since the explosion.

Massive vehicles used to move large debris were also present. She wasn’t surprised by how everything had been organized, considering the founding families were working together.

Once their truck stopped at a small camp in the distance, the first thing she heard was Penny’s voice.

"What is taking so long!?" Penny harrumphed. "Find everyone now! No—look for my husband first! I want to see if he’s dead or alive. If he’s dead, bring his skeleton to me so I can crush his bones! How dare he die and leave me a widow?! Leave me to raise four children—he’s the one who wanted the quadruplets!"

Lola jumped out of the truck and followed the voice, finding Penny fuming like a dragon. Several people surrounded her, their raised hands suggesting they were either trying to calm her down or stopping her from leaving.

As she drew closer, their remarks told Lola everything she needed to know.

"Miss Penny, please calm down," one man said worriedly. "You can’t drive the bucket loader. It’s still unsafe! Until they declare it is, we can’t touch anything!"

Penny’s eyes lit up, invisible flames engulfing her. "What?! Are you saying I’m going to run you all over with it? Aren’t you a little judgmental now?"

The men’s breaths hitched. They didn’t even question it. Penny would absolutely do something like that. She had done it before, and she would do it again.

Meanwhile, not far from them, sat Kiara.

She was motionless, her complexion pale, the bags under her eyes darker than usual. A blanket covered her shoulders, and she held a cup of coffee she hadn’t even sipped from.

Unlike Penny, who was breathing fire, Kiara simply sat there like a statue.

Lola paused, studying the two of them before sighing faintly.

"Come on. Let’s see if I can crush you with a bulldozer—"

"Penny," Lola called, stopping her from picking a fight.

Penny whipped her head toward Lola, her brows furrowing. "First Sister..."

Even Kiara blinked and turned to look at her.

Lola drew a deep breath and stopped beside Penny, then glanced at the men around them.

"I’ll talk to her," she said, noticing the reluctance in their eyes. "It’s alright. If she picks a fight with me, I’ll knock her out cold."

The men studied Lola before exchanging glances. When they looked back at Penny, she didn’t seem offended. Penny’s bias clearly knew no bounds.

Penny frowned as the men stepped away, though they stayed nearby just in case.

"First Sister," Penny asked, "what are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be in the hospital?"

Lola smiled subtly. "I’m not injured." She paused, studying Penny’s face up close.

Like Kiara, the bags under Penny’s eyes were darker than usual. Her eyelids were slightly swollen. Lola’s own swollen eyes had eased a little, though they were still visible. But her expression almost concealed both that and the sadness slowly consuming her.

"Did you rush here last night?" she asked.

Penny smacked her lips. "I would’ve lost my mind if I stayed in Anteca. Yugi said he’d look after my children."

"I see," Lola let out a shallow breath, nodding. Her eyes softened as she reached out and placed a hand on Penny’s head.

The gesture made Penny’s brows rise in surprise as she looked up at Lola.

"If you need to rest, then rest a little, okay?" Lola whispered. "I’ll handle it."

"First Sister..."

"You too, Ki," Lola said, glancing at Kiara with a small smile. "Take a rest if you can. I will... handle everything."

She nodded. "Whether they’re alive or not, I’ll make sure to bring their skeletons back if they’re still there... so we can crush them together."

Almost two hours later, the fire was declared out, and the rescue team began moving blocks of concrete in search of the safe room. That was their priority—but with the ruins, it took time.
