“But the babies still need to stay in the incubator for the time being,” added Xante.
Corinne immediately frowned when she heard she would have to leave the babies in the
hospital. “In that case, I’ll stay here too.”
“Boss, you won’t be able to stay with the babies even if you continue to stay here; they
need to be in the incubator. It’s better for you to go home so you can nurse your body
back to health. Aaron and I, along with Mister Lucas and the nurses will take turns to look
after the baby. Rest assured that they’ll be well taken care of,” advised Xante.
Even if she could not spend every second with her babies, Corinne still could not bear to
leave them all alone in the hospital.
“I’ll go home when the babies go home.”

back to tip-top condition. Otherwise, it’ll be easier for you to fall sick in the future. Of
course, it’ll be more comfortable for you to stay at home than at the hospital,” advised
Xante again.
“This girl is right!” said Pamela from the door before Corinne could say anything.
Everyone in the room turned to look at her.
Pamela came walking in with the help of Francine. The old woman’s expression was filled
with worry and concern.
“Corinne, didn’t you promise you’d call me if anything happened? Why didn’t giving birth
so I could be there with you?”
Corinne immediately thought of Jeremy when she saw Pamela.
Xante frowned and threw Francine a reproachful look when she saw Pamela.
Seeing this, Francine whispered helplessly, “Why are you looking at me like that? I wasn’t
the one who told her. She found out about this herself.”
Jason greeted Pamela with a smile before stepping off into a corner to let the women talk
among themselves.
Francine helped Pamela to the chair beside Corinne’s bed. The old woman looked at her
with a pained expression on her face and asked, “Corinne, how do you feel right now?
Does your body still hurt?”
Corinne shook her head. “Don’t worry, Grandma. The birth went smoothly, and I’m
recovering well.”
Pamela felt more at ease when she saw how relatively healthy Corinne looked. She then

Holdens were there when you were giving birth.”
Corinne’s face fell. The only Holden she really wanted with her when she was giving birth
was Jeremy—not Pamela, Francine, or Greg.
Not wanting to pretend anymore, she asked her, “Grandma, where’s Jeremy?”
Pamela’s face contorted unnaturally at the question, but she quickly said, “He’s still at
Molomia. Something really serious happened to our company there, so he had no choice
but to stay behind. But don’t you worry. I’m going to make him get on his knees and beg
for your forgiveness the moment he’s back in the city.”
Corinne was no fool. She could tell Pamela was lying. “Grandma, how did you manage to
get in contact with him? Did he tell you himself that something really serious happened at
the company over there?” she asked with a frown.
Pamela was instantly stumped by her questions.
