Half a year later, in New York.
In a luxurious villa in the East District, a beautiful woman sat on a soft leather bench in the garden, enjoying the bright sunshine.
She touched her lower abdomen and fixed her eyes at an unknown corner in the garden. Her mind wandered back to the Dragon City hospital half a year ago.
"Doctor Li... Please do me a favor and tell the outsiders that I lost my child. "
"What?"
"…… Someone wanted to kill my baby. They won't kill me as long as they think that the baby is gone. "
"Okay. But you have to be careful. You can't hide it from them for a long time. You are pregnant for almost two months. You belly will be bigger soon."
"What are you thinking about?" A voice came from behind, breaking her thoughts.
"Hi, Hanson." She smiled.
"It will be due time. Of course I have to come here as soon as possible." Hanson smiled. Shortly after Essie arrived in America, Alice revealed her whereabouts to Hanson. In Alice's opinion, Hanson was more suitable for her younger sister than Zac.
She sat up with her heavy body and was about to stand up, but a sharp pain came from her stomach. She cried out and fell back painfully.
"What's wrong?" Hanson asked.
"My belly aches." She frowned and held her belly.
"You're giving birth to the baby. I'll take you to the hospital." Hanson lifted her to his chest and walked out of the garden in a hurry.
In the hospital of New York.
Essie gripped Hanson's and the midwife's hands. She felt so painful that she was about to pass out. In the past half a year, she tried hard to restrain herself from missing Zac, but she failed. He kept harassing her like a ghost. When she was awake, he wandered in her eyes; when she was asleep, he wandered around in her dream; she couldn't get rid of him.
Now she really hoped that he could stay with her and wait for their baby to be born.
"Mrs. Xia, come on. The kids will come out soon." The doctor said in English. In New York, Essie and Hanson always pretended to be a couple in order to avoid the neighbors' random guesses and discussions. However, Essie had already told him very clearly that it was impossible for them to be together again. She was a woman who had been married and had children, so she did not deserve him.
But Hanson had never thought about giving up. Although many things had changed, his feelings for her had never changed. At this moment, he was more nervous than her, trembling all over his body. Her painful cry was like thousands of sharp claws scratching his heart.
After three hours, the two babies' loud cries rang in the delivery room.
"Yes, a boy and a girl. Congratulations, Mr. Xia and Mrs. Xia." The midwife said with a smile.
With tears and sweat streaming down her face, she took a look at the baby in the midwife's arms and fainted.
A day later, she woke up and turned her head to see two beautiful babies in the crib. They were white, tender, small and so delicate. They had just finished breastfeeding and were sleeping soundly with their eyes closed.
Hanson, lying on the bedside, hummed a lullaby softly, his eyes full of love. They would be his children and she would be his wife.
Seeing such a cozy scene, Essie chuckled and said, "Hanson, I have already prepared the pet name for our child. The girl is called Mili and the boy is called Dot."
"Well, good names." Hanson nodded with a smile.
Time flied. Three years had passed.
Essie hadn't been to her dream school Istituto Marangoni, but she had been studying in Parsons School of Design at The New School. It was the second most venomous design school in the world and the best design school in America.
Today was the day that she graduated. Hanson, Holy, Lucy and Bob came along with Mili and Dot to celebrate her graduation. A year ago, Holy came to America. At that time, Alice was very worried about his safety. So he asked Baron to send him to Essie's. And Baron already knew who Essie was. So he felt relieved that Holy was in her house. What's more, Holy also had his uncle, Martin, who could protect him.
The two kids were only three years old, but they were excellent. Mili drew a family photo and Dot made a sailboat model for Essie. They gave it to their mom as gifts.
"I got a present for you, too, sister." Holy took out a lipstick.
With a smile on her face, Essie asked, "Holy, why did you want to give me the lipstick?" Did this little guy start his puberty and know what girls like.
"Sister, this lipstick is not for you to make up." Holy chuckled, his eyes glittering mysteriously.
Essie raised her eyebrows in confusion, "are you sending me a souvenir?"
"No, no, no." Holy shook his fingers and said, "it's for your self-defense."
"Weapon?" "Is it a gun?" Essie once read on a book that a German female spy took a lipstick gun secretly with her during World War II. The bullet could only be put in the gun, targeted at assassination.
"Almost. But it's not a bullet, but a neurotic poison. As long as you have a drop on the opponent's skin, you can quickly paralyze the opponent's muscles and nerves for ten minutes. And it can pass the security check smoothly without being found out. "
"Wow, that's amazing. Your uncle gave it to you?" With an amazed look on her face, Essie marveled at his uncle's excellent job. He deserved to be called the top-level agent of FBI and James Bond in the twenty-first century.
