Corinne still wanted to say something when Lucas shushed her with a finger on her lips.
“Listen to me. All you need to do now is rest. Otherwise, how will you have the energy to
look after your babies later?” he asked.
Corinne had no comeback for that.
Not giving her a chance to come up with anything, Lucas ordered, “Xante, you stay here
with her and make sure she takes a rest. Aaron, Miss Annie, please follow me out. It’s best
not to have too much crowding in her room.”
Everyone agreed with his arrangement, so they all left except for Xante.
The hospital room finally became quiet. Xante bent down and straightened out Corinne’s
blanket. “Boss, you should take a nap while you can. You’ll get to see the babies after you
wake up.”

she was dog-tired. “Wake me up if Jeremy comes.”
A complicated look flashed across Xante’s eyes. She squeezed out a smile and said, “Sure
thing, boss.”
Reassured, Corinne closed her eyes and gave in to sleep.
…
Outside the hospital room, Lucas said to Aaron and Annie seriously, “I have to stay in the
hospital with Corinn, but I’ve asked my man to find Jeremy’s whereabouts. Aaron, you
should do the same. That way, we can find him faster. We must find out where that
b*stard has taken the baby before Corinne realizes he and the baby are gone!”
Aaron thought the same too, so he nodded solemnly and said, “Alright. I’ll look for him too
with my men.”
Annie pouted. “I’ll do what I can too. I’ll go to the Holdens now to see if Uncle Jeremy has
been back.”
“Okay! Call me immediately if there’s any news about him,” said Lucas.
“Okay.”
“Okay.”
After that, the three of them parted ways.
Lucas stayed in the hospital but did not go back to Corinne’s room; he did not want to
disturb her rest. Instead, he went to the nursery to visit the twins. His heart instantly
melted when he saw the two babies lying in their incubator.
However, his loving feeling did not last long as he gritted his teeth, thinking, ‘The first
baby should be in the incubator with his siblings as well! Jeremy, that b*stard! What the
hell is he thinking?’
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNobody expected that Jeremy would take the first baby out of the hospital without a word.
…
Once they were out of the hospital, Aaron brought his men to look for Jeremy at all major
traffic points, while Annie took a cab to the Holdens’ mansion.
When she arrived, the servant led her into the yard where Francine was accompanying
Pamela to water the flowers.
Not wanting to worry Pamela, Annie greeted her casually before pulling Francine aside.
“What are you doing here? Is there something I can help you with?” asked Francine
curiously.
“Shh. Francine, has Uncle Jeremy been back here?” whispered Annie.
Francine frowned. “Jeremy? No, he hasn’t. Why?”
Annie’s face fell with disappointment. “Are you sure about that?”
