Stanley Batton’s tone was dominant and irrefutable.
After finishing his sentence, Stanley hung up the phone before Zack Cassidy could speak.
“How do you feel? Do you feel a little better?” Stanley asked as he carefully rubbed Xyla Quest’s stomach.
“Urgh… A little better than before. But I still feel terrible…” Xyla said weakly. Her face was pale.
“What about your hypoglycemia? Is it better?” Stanley asked.
Xyla nodded gently…
Stanley’s facial expression turned sullen, and his frown also deepened significantly. “Honey, I wish I could take your place and bear the pain for you instead.”
Xyla laughed bitterly for a moment. Then, a warm sensation filled her heart as usual. “Idiot… How could a man take a pregnant woman’s place?”
Stanley let out a long sigh. After that, he lay down next to her and continued to rub her stomach carefully.
Although Xyla was suffering greatly, she still felt lucky because she had Stanley to worry about and take care of her.
When Xyla thought about how two new lives were slowly growing in her stomach, she felt even luckier.
Being pregnant was a painful yet joyful process.
While leaning into Stanley’s embrace, Xyla could feel the heaviness in his heart.
“Don’t feel that way… Doesn’t every woman go through this? None of their husbands react like this either…” Xyla said, comforting him as she tried to resist the urge to vomit.
“Just because other people aren’t like this, does that mean I must be like them?” Stanley frowned deeply once again.
“Can’t you be more relaxed about this like other people?” Xyla asked.
“How can I relax when I’m worried about someone?” Stanley replied.
Xyla suddenly couldn’t find the words to respond to what Stanley said…
‘Yeah. It’s natural to be careful when you love someone deeply.’ Xyla thought.
“Would you like to drink anything?” Stanley asked.
Xyla shook her head…
After that, he continued to hold Xyla and carefully rubbed her stomach…
“Who is it?” Xyla asked.
“Mom…” Stanley said truthfully. His tone was as gentle as if he was coaxing a three-year-old child.
“Oh.” Xyla knew that Sharon must have come because she was worried about her.
Sharon already came to visit three times during the day.
However, Xyla didn't expect her to still come this late in the evening.
After the door opened, Sharon quickly entered the living room. After that, she headed up to the second floor and arrived in front of the master bedroom. She knocked on the door…
“Come in…” Stanley said.
When Sharon heard Stanley’s voice, she quickly pushed the door and entered.
Meanwhile, Stanley slowly sat up on the bed and looked at her. “Why did you come this late?” he asked.
