The bodyguard was trembling all over. “It's the truth. Many others saw what I saw. You can ask around. There’s also surveillance footage of what happened. You can check it out.”
Sharon Lindt sneered. “I don’t have to see anything. Why should I believe what you said? If there are witnesses, that only means you were all part of the scheme.”
Stanley Batton was beginning to feel agitated by the sound of her voice.
He scowled at his mother. “Be quiet, you don’t have to get involved in this.”
Sharon became even angrier then. “What do you mean? My grandchildren are missing. How could I not be involved? Is it wrong of me to ask questions?”
However, Stanley neither looked at Sharon nor replied to her. He continued to frown before turning to look at Xyla. “Stay here. The nurse will tend to your wound shortly. I’ll report this to the authorities and look for Yaksha.”
Resisting the pain, Xyla instantly grabbed his hand tightly and spoke. “Okay, but Honey... you must bring our children back. Please.”
It was already challenging for the newborns to survive as they were still connected to all those tubes.
But now, they were suddenly taken away.
How could they survive this?
The more she thought about them, the more her heart ached painfully.
If this was karma, she had already tasted her fair share of it, and it hurt far too much.
Why did karma have to hurt her children? Why couldn't she be the one who received the punishment?
If Xyla could, she would sacrifice her own life to ensure her children were safe.
