Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2253

"Annabeth," Sharon Lindt paused, watching Annabeth Cates with an affectionate look on her face.

"Yes, Mom, go on," Annabeth said curiously.

"Thank you for giving us such an adorable granddaughter. You've contributed a lot to our family," she went on earnestly. Perhaps she had too many sons herself, hence she'd always preferred girls.

She was very happy to have so many granddaughters now.

"Mom, your family has been so good to me. It's only right that I offer you grandchildren in return," Annabeth told her.

"We've all witnessed how much you've suffered. We'll treat you even better from now on," she stated.

"You've already been good enough to me. I don't think you have to do more."

"That won't do. We can always do more," she insisted, making Annabeth laugh.

Shortly after, Josh Batton finished preparing the bottle for Candice Batton, so he went to carry her into his arms and started to feed her on the couch. Meanwhile, Sharon went to get some water to wipe Annabeth's face and body before helping to brush her teeth and into a change of clothes.

After making sure that the young mother was comfortable, she entered the bathroom to refresh herself.

Then, she returned to Annabeth's side and started chatting with her.

On the other side, Josh was carefully feeding his daughter.

She must have been hungry, as she drank very quickly.

The way she sucked on the milk bottle was extremely adorable, with her eyes still closed and probably not fully awake yet.

She held her father's hand with her tiny hand, making him feel as if he had the entire world before him.

He had a loving gaze in his eyes as he gazed down at her, feeling at peace on the inside.

He genuinely wanted to give her the best things in life.

Watching from the bed, his wife could scarcely describe the satisfaction in her heart when she saw them.

She had recovered well after giving birth naturally.

A week later, Josh personally went through the procedures to get her discharged from the hospital.

The Batton family, the Cates family,

Henry Armstrong, Sebastian Brenand, Georgie Clementine, and Rachel Wood, all came to escort her out of the hospital.

The proud new father carefully held

There were reporters everywhere outside.

Knowing the media would be waiting, Annabeth made sure to look presentable in a white dress and a pair of white color flats, along with some light makeup.

Her long, black hair reached her waist, and she looked thin yet delicate.

Despite giving birth recently, she still looked like a teenager.

After becoming a mother, Annabeth looked much more noble.

Meanwhile, Josh had also put in a lot of effort to dress up.
