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."
Corinne’s eyelids started to drop.She felt like she had not slept for the longest time, and 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?’ Nobody 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?”
