Before Stanley Batton could do anything, Sharon Lindt quickly stepped forward, shoving the bouquet of roses into her son's hands before gently touching Xyla Quest’s stomach.
“What happened? Did you cause a tear? Why are you so reckless? You just went through a cesarean delivery! There’s still a long, deep wound on your stomach that hasn’t healed yet.”
The others formed a huge circle around Xyla’s bed with worried looks on their faces, causing the air around her to become a lot thinner.
Even the lights grew dimmer since there were so many surrounding her.
Xyla felt like the luckiest woman in the world when she saw how concerned they all were.
“Yeah, you’re way too reckless,” Georgie Clementine said.
“Are you all right? Will your wound tear open again? Maybe I should get the nurse,” Sebastian Brenand sounded equally worried.
Seeing Xyla like that, he unexpectedly felt wary about having children. Perhaps, he might not want any after all.
Likewise, Henry Armstrong also felt traumatized by this incident and promptly decided he wouldn’t want a second child.
He didn’t even know what to do once the first child was delivered.
It involved too much suffering.
“Sebastian, I think you should get the nurse to come and check on Xyla. It would be bad if her wound was torn open,” Jeremy Quest told him.
“I think so too," Wilson spoke up. "Xyla, you ought to be more careful and don’t move around unnecessarily.”
“That’s right, Xyla, you’re in a fragile state. You must be very careful,” Sharon said.
Sebastian wordlessly nodded and was about to find a nurse before Xyla stopped him.
