“It's done?”
Sera greeted me gently as Xavier stepped into the nursery where the twins were being intensively treated in an incubation box.
As soon as Sera was able to sit on her own and practice walking after her surgery, she got a regular visiting schedule to breastfeed her two babies in turn.
Luckily there were no problems with Sera's milk. At the time after the operation, the milk was indeed too late to come out, but now after the baby is used to sucking to release thirst from the breast of his mother, the mother, is, sera's milk flows very smoothly and excess to be able to meet the needs of both babies without worrying about shortages.
“You're breastfeeding in a row?” Xavier did not answer Sera's question and instead paused in front of the firstborn's incubator box. His eyes watched one of the most beautiful manifestations of the miracle of his life with great affection.
Elaine seemed to be full and had finished breastfeeding, now the beautiful baby girl was sleeping soundly in her incubator box.
After watching Elaine to satisfy her longing, Xavier then moves to the back of Sera's wheelchair, crouching and feeding Ainee's youngest into her arms. Xavier's hand was anchored to Sera's shoulder and massaged her gently, while her head was bent from above Sera's head, staring at Ainee who was shrinking strongly while closing her eyes.
“She is sleepy due to satiety.” Xavier couldn't help but smile in his voice when he saw how adorable Ainee was.
Just a few days after being born and getting enough nutrition, the child is already developing much more rapidly than before. Wrinkles on his skin due to being born prematurely are still there, but not as sharp as before, slightly fading because the baby's body has fat filled with nutrients.
Ainee has a slightly smaller body size when compared to her brother Elaine, but when it comes to her lust for breastfeeding, the youngest is just as strong as her twin sister.
“I give the right and left side turns for them.” Sera looked up slightly while putting her smile towards Xavier. “Suster taught me to start flushing your ASI regularly and storing it in a sterile bottle in the refrigerator. He said, if the twins get bigger later their milk needs will increase and may occur at the same time so they will most likely not be patient if they have to queue for a feeding turn like now.”
Xavier nodded his head in agreement to hear Sera's words. “I understand. I will prepare everything for you at home, so you can keep your ASI well later.” Xavier's eyes observed Sera who was breastfeeding and her forehead wrinkled deeply upon seeing how powerful Ainee was sucking to get her milk.
The boy was sleepy but his suction was still so strong, what if he was in a state of waking fresh fit and hungry?
“What is it like to hurt?” Xavier asked then in a concerned tone.
“Slight.” Sera replied with a gentle smile. “But I'm so happy that I don't feel the pain.”
Xavier chuckled, the man then presented a kiss on the top of Sera's head fondly.
“I finished everything with my father,” whispered later in a raucous voice, the man turned to Sera and knelt down in front of Sera who was sitting in front of the wheelchair.
Sera gently used one hand that was not supporting Ainee's head to stroke Xavier's cheek.
“How do you feel?” tanyanya gently.
Xavier let out a long sigh, then gave a smile to Sera.
“Thank you, Sera. You're right, it feels light. The entire burden on my shoulders was like being let go and freed me,” he replied later.
Sera nodded her head. “I hope you can step into the future with a light and happy heart, Xavier. I always pray for your happiness,” whispered in a sincere tone, filled with haru who suddenly burst out, stifling his chest.
Xavier's gaze directed at Sera seemed to be filled with the same warmth. The man grabbed Sera's palm and presented a kiss on the inside of her palm.
“I want to be happy in the future, with you and our children,” he said slowly in a raucous tone. “And I will fight to make it happen for you and for our little family, Sera,” he continued later like a promise of a father who wants his little family to be okay.

When Akram stepped into the room, he saw Xavier was swallowing two white pills that had been a life support. The drug did not cure, only worked to force the body to double its blood production until Xavier could stand up and walk around like a healthy person today. In fact, if you look at the real condition of Xavier, if without the drug the findings are, if you do not find it, perhaps by this time Xavier should have been lying weakly in a hospital bed and receiving continuous blood transfusions to survive.
Unfortunately although it seems quite effective, the drug cannot be used as the final solution for Xavier's disease, because the effect is terrible. Each period of regular drinking, will facilitate the body parts that should have been damaged to continue producing blood to meet their needs. In the end, the drug will reduce the life span of its regular drinker in the amount of time the reduction is directly proportional to the amount of time it is used.
If Xavier continues to hang himself on to the drug, even though he currently seems to be able to walk around like a healthy person, it is not impossible that he will arrive at the point where the rest of his life is cut off and suddenly Xavier will collapse to lose his life.
“How about doctor Rasputin?” Akram knows that the doctor's talk hurt Xavier, but they still have to talk about it.
Suddenly a foreign man who had been considered as part of an enemy plot came and claimed to be the biological father of his adoptive brother, when the results of blood tests were done, he said, the words of the man proved to be true. How could Akram not be surprised by all the coincidences that seemed to be perfectly arranged but they did not realize it before?
“I've let go. As Sera said, a vengeful heart will ravage and make you sick. A forgiving heart will ease your steps and calm you down.” Xavier smiled slowly. Sera's words turned out to be true. Since Rasputin's confession, this is the only time he can review the carefree smile that pierced his heart cavity.
“You don't want to do any further investigation?” ask Akram back.
Xavier shook his head. “Credence has done it and I think that's enough. I don't want to dig any further.” Xavier's gaze was slightly overawed. “Doctor says, he won't last long.”
“Who? Doctor Rasputin?” Repeat to make sure.
Xavier nodded his head.
“Yes. Maybe in the near future, I have to prepare a funeral,” he said then in a half-sighing voice.
Xavier really looked tired and it slipped anxiety in Akram's mind. Especially when entering this room, Akram had seen Xavier rub his nose with a white tissue that immediately turned red because it absorbed the blood flowing out of his nose.
The main feature of this disease is bleeding that occurs easily when the condition of the body decreases, because the body is unable to create blood-clotting cells to hold bleeding out of the body. It is now clear that Xavier is not doing well because blood is flowing out of his nose.
Akram is worried if Xavier forces himself beyond the strength of his body and in the end even injures himself.
“Are you sure you'll come alone to see Aaron?”
Akram stared at Xavier with a scanning eye. Xavier's condition didn't look so good this morning. The man looked much paler than usual, still adorned with dark circles under his eyes as well. Maybe Xavier was exhausted with everything that came bertubi as if endless so lower the condition of his body.
“I'm fine, I was just late to take my medicine earlier.” Xavier rubbed his face slowly, then tried to smile towards Akram. “As soon as this drug spreads its effects, I will be fine,” he said slowly.
This time replacing Xavier who was watching Akram, the man realized that Akram had just arrived from seeing the condition of Nathan's doctor.
“How about the condition of doctor Nathan?” his question then when Akram did not seem to have intended to provide information.
“We still don't know when Nathan gets his consciousness back. We can only wait. However, the doctor said Nathan's condition is getting stable today, it will mean the greater our expectation that he will be conscious.”
“I also hope so.” Xavier took a long breath. “In hindsight, it was he who constantly pushed me to perform surgery to save my life. I did not think at all that now he is the one lying on the hospital bed and we who alternately hope to worry about the safety of his life.”
“I've prepared the best doctor for Nathan. Fortunately, he was quick to get treatment so that the effects of drug overdose injected by Aaron into his body had not damaged his organs fatally. We can only hope he has a life spirit high enough that he can come to his senses then recover.”
Akram spoke with a thoughtful tone and looked at Xavier carefully.
“You yourself, Xavier. Remember that you have to consider yourself. As soon as this whole affair is sorted out, I want you to start running procedures for the preparation of the operation.” When Xavier looks about to argue, Akram immediately replied with a firm tone. “Your health and healing is not for yourself alone, but also for Serafina and the twins. All they need is a healthy father who can accompany them in the future. In fact, I'm sure Nathan will also be glad you chose the operating procedure immediately.”
There still seemed to be doubt emanating in Xavier's eyes, but the man chose not to refute, his eyes staring at the door before then asking a question.
“How about Credence?”
Akram shrugged his shoulders. “Because we're not using Sabina, Credence is taking care of the woman's return. Dimitri will send his men to fetch Sabina back. After all these affairs are settled, Credence will take a leave of absence from his company for a while and he says he will fill his time by becoming a farmer and rancher.”
Xavier smiled with irony. “Dimitri doesn't seem to want to lose the perfect robot he can use. Now that Sabina had been brain-controlled by that chip, she must have been happy to be able to maximize Sabina's abilities for her sake without having to face Sabina's rebuttal or rebellion that once troubled her in the past
Akram nodded his head. “They, Dimitri and Sabina are actually very suitable. If Dimitri likes women like robots that can be controlled without arguing, who knows if it turns out Dimitri will end up with Sabina?” Akram grinned as if feeling that possibility was fun enough to imagine. “Regarding Dimitri himself, I think he has shown enough good faith to work with us so far. Aren't you thinking of letting go? You know, living with the threat of toxins that require periodic bidders and bombs in the brainstem, isn't good for health. It can make him anxious all the time and shorten his life.”
Xavier chuckles. “I'll consider it. He has unexpectedly shown his loyalty and good cooperation with us. Merely, I must judge whether without the threat of poison and bombs in his brainstem, he will still behave the same or instead turn to devise a future revenge that disrupts the peace of our family.”
Xavier's eyes sharpened as he resumed his speech. “I will release Dimitri if I am sure that he will not turn around to attack later on.”
“I agree with you.” I smiled with a real attitude of approval. Currently, these two men had a very clear priority: The safety of their families.
Xavier looks still tired, apparently the drug he took has not given a masimal effect, still need to wait a while until he can regain his stamina. The man then let out a long sigh, leaned his body on the back of the sofa, then closed his eyes.
“Wake me up when all is ready,” he said then before then melt themselves in a short sleep to restore energy and emotions that had been drained out.

Aaron's been unpacking all the data he can disassemble. From all the files, the contents inside the phone, to Thomas' laptop, all had been combed without remaining. He had forced his brain's ability to learn everything as fast as lightning, absorbing it into his brain and practicing to practice it well. She even studied nursing standards at a glance so as not to look awkward and suspicious when she entered the health facility where Sera's father was treated and disguised as Thomas.
Luckily there are videos that can be used as Aaron's reference stored on Thomas' laptop. Most of the videos are about Thomas' daily activities, and some feature his workplace. The video helps Aaron become more familiar with the medical center where Sera's father is being treated so that he can enter under perfect disguise and carry out his mission.
Tonight he's about to carry out a planned kidnapping and hostage-taking. He plans to unplug all life support devices that support Sera's father, then take her out through the back door of the hospital to her hideout. It doesn't matter if Sera's father falls into a coma and can die, Aaron doesn't really care about Sera's father. He just needs to use Sera's father to get the woman to come to him.
Whether Sera's father is alive or dead, he doesn't care anymore. In this desperate condition, he had only one goal, bringing Sera into his arms.
Even so, Aaron really hopes that Sera's father will not die. If until the man dies when he is kidnapping her, it will be difficult to subdue Sera's heart to open her feelings and try to fall in love with him again.
But if forced, Aaron does not mind to be patient and wait until Sera forgives him and open his heart again for him and fall in love again with him. Importantly for now, he should be able to get Sera within his grasp, then take the woman out of the country and keep her away from that rotten Xavier Light.
Love will grow over time. Didn't the same thing happen to Sera and Xavier? Sera used to hate Xavier, harboring trauma and fear for him, even joining them in a revenge plot to kill Xavier Light. But, look what's happening now. Only by initial coercion, captivity and forcing the woman into his possession in a theatrical marriage, Xavier manages to make Sera fall in love with him, fooled by his handsome face and even willing to bear her child willingly.
Aaron is convinced that Xavier does not need Sera's love! The man only used Sera to get twins to get stem cells from the placenta of the twins in order to save his own life.
Aaron must make Sera aware of Xavier's true motives. He should be able to make Sera sure that all this time Xavier was just playing a show and pretending to be nice to the woman. Sera should know that once Xavier gets what he needs, the woman will be thrown away like trash. And Sera must also realize how lucky the woman is because Aaron is still willing to accept it which is like the rest of Xavier.
Aaron's eyes glanced at Thomas's body lying unconscious on the sofa. The middle-aged man lost his consciousness and did not move from his place at all. Although his breathing sounded thin, but still felt his breathing gusts that rose and fell weakly according to the rhythm of the entry and exit of air from his lungs. Aaron had indeed drugged Thomas with a special dose of sleep medicine that left Thomas unconscious for a long time.
“Be calm, you don't have to wait long, old man.” Aaron felt that he was ready to stand from where he sat. He turned off the laptop in front of him, then he brought himself in front of the mirror and smoothed out a perfect mask similar to Thomas's face that covered his real face. Aaron's eyes implied a satisfied gleam and his lips extended a smile as he stared at his appearance.
“Tonight I will run my mission. So after this, if you can be lucky regardless of the influence of the dope, then you will be completely free.” Aaron said, connecting his sentence towards Thomas who was still unconscious.
A knock suddenly sounded from the door of the simple apartment room, making Aaron's hand that moved tidying up his clothes instantly freeze for a moment.
Any unexpected guests coming?
Aaron's forehead crinkles deeply when weighing. This apartment does include cheap apartments so that the security system does not work, outsiders who come to visit can immediately go up and get access to the upper floor where the residents of the apartment live and knock directly on the door of the house without having to pass security checks. That's why Aaron rushed over wanting to get out of here immediately and execute his plan after he finished learning everything. The location of Thomas' house is not safe, because anyone can come knocking on the door of this house.
The sound of knocking was heard again, this time more urgent and as if unwilling to wait. Aaron glanced towards the door and weighed.
About who came?
Thomas doesn't seem to have many friends here.
Is it possible it was from Thomas's colleague?
Aaron cleared his throat, trying to prepare his vocal cords to imitate Thomas's voice. His eyes glanced at Thomas' body still lying unconscious on the living room sofa and he felt a slight panic attack him.
Pimply. If the guest comes in and sees Thomas here... Aaron can't let that guest in, whoever he is!
With a quick movement, Aaron grabbed a neatly folded blanket at one end of the sofa, then threw it to cover Thomas's body so that it was covered from head to toe.
The sound of the knocking was heard again, creating an even more jitters into Aaron's soul.
He finally stepped cautiously towards the door and stopped his feet right in front of the door. He breathed deeply and then the man pressed his eyes into the guest peeping hole available at his doorstep.
His body immediately gasped like an electric shock when he saw that Xavier Light was standing in front of the door of the apartment room.
