Xyla Quest reached out to Leon Batton, while Stanley Batton reached out to Lynette Batton.
The twins each grabbed their parents' index fingers respectively.
Xyla felt her heart swelling with pride, seeing Leon's tiny soft hand hold hers.
Stanley felt the same way.
His eyes lingered on his wife before landing on his children, feeling intensely content.
He believed that his life would be perfect if the nine-tailed demon fox didn’t exist and if he didn’t have karmic debts from his past life.
His life could be peaceful and free of worries with a stable marriage and adorable children. Nobody could be happier than him in the world.
They continued gazing at their children tenderly, neither of them seemed willing to let go.
Without realizing it, half an hour had gone by.
Xyla’s waist began to ache from bending forward for an extended period. Frowning slightly, she straightened back up carefully, gently stroking her waist where the anesthetic was applied.
For cesarean delivery, the needle of the anesthetic injection was thick, so women normally suffered from its side effects for a long time.
Xyla was no exception.
Lately, she'd feel some discomfort on that part of her waist now and then, usually when she sat or bent over for too long.
She figured it would take a long time for her to fully recover.
“What’s the matter?” Stanley asked, noticing her discomfort.
“It’s not a big deal. The injection site on my waist felt uncomfortable,” Xyla answered.
Wordlessly, he directly lifted her and carried her to the double bed nearby, his eyes narrowing in concern.
“Why are you feeling uncomfortable again? Lie down, and I’ll give you a massage.”
