Their facial features also seemed much more vivid than before.
No matter how Stanley Batton looked at them, they looked identical to him.
Their skin was fair from head to toe.
It seemed like they had inherited all of Xyla Quest’s positive traits.
At that moment, the two of them were sound asleep, remaining quiet as they breathed evenly. The mere sight of them made Stanley’s heart melt.
He also felt a stronger connection to them.
It was sufficiently warm in the room, so the children only had a thin layer of white cloth wrapped around them.
However, they were already sweating from the heat.
Stanley carefully untucked their tiny hands from under the cloth, only to discover something odd.
They both had identical and realistic-looking plum blossom-shaped birthmarks on the back of their left palms.
They looked even more realistic than tattoos.
He could vaguely see golden rays of light surrounding the blossoms, which then disappeared after a few seconds.
'What was going on?'
Stanley studied the birthmarks in confusion.
Approximately half an hour later, Yaksha came downstairs, now clad in black overalls, holding a black, tightly sealed paper bag.
He walked over to rejoin Stanley.
“I can’t believe it! I really can’t believe it,” Yaksha expressed enthusiastically.
“What do you mean?”
Stanley's visit today resulted in even more questions on his mind than ever.
Yaksha grinned and gently put down their hands. “I can’t tell you about this yet, but all I can say is that these birthmarks are wonderful signs for your children.
“I can’t tell you anything further,” he added.
Stanley frowned. “Is it something that heaven forbids you from revealing?”
“Yes. Take good care of them. When the time comes, you’ll know what these birthmarks mean,” Yaksha said.
