A bodyguard was standing by the door as he looked at Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton with a frantic expression on his face. “The-the-” he stammered, panting heavily.
Stanley’s frown deepened as he surged to his feet. “What is it? Spit it out!”
Xyla and Sharon Lindt instantly panicked seeing the bodyguard acting this way.
“The children-" the bodyguard said with a trembling voice. "They’re gone. We’ve already blocked all exits in the hospital.”
When Xyla heard this, she felt like the entire world was collapsing before her.
Stanley and Sharon felt the same way.
None of them could believe what they had just heard.
They had already deployed bodyguards throughout the entire building. It was unthinkable that anyone could still kidnap the children.
Panicked, Xyla clambered out of bed and looked at the frantic man. “What? What do you mean? Did you say my children are gone? What were you doing? Why didn’t you look after them?”
Just by standing alone, Xyla already felt the energy being drained out of her body as if she could collapse at any moment.
She could feel her wound opening bit by bit, shooting pains from her belly as warm blood slowly trickled out of her wound.
Soon, her shirt became stained with blood.
Sharon and Stanley both panicked at the sight.
He quickly stepped forward and picked Xyla up before placing her back on the bed. He then pressed a button to contact a nurse to explain what happened.
Meanwhile, Sharon wiped her tears away and gazed at Xyla. “I know you’re worried, but you shouldn’t leave your bed.”
With that, Sharon turned to look at the bodyguard and waited for him to speak.
