Old Master Shaw raced to the hospital when he heard Grace had gone there alone.
Grace lay collapsed on the floor, blood and amniotic fluid gushed out of her. She grabbed onto the old man’s leg. "Uncle, save me, I don't want to die, I don't want my children to die. Please, I beg you, save me..."
Old Master Shaw did not know what to do at that very moment. After a moment's pause, he shouted, "Doctor! Wheel her into the surgical room immediately!"
Then, he turned and said to his bodyguard, "If Mrs. Ford comes and causes a scene, stop her firmly. No matter what, we have to ensure the safety of Grace and her two children. The children are innocent."
"Yes!” The guard obeyed.
Just as Grace was pushed into the surgical theatre, the wife of the leader of Star Island went into labor. His wife wailed fervently in pain, anxious sweat peppered Ben's forehead. He begged the doctor. "You have to ensure my wife and my child's survival, otherwise all of you doctors will die with them!"
Because he was the leader of the island, the doctors were all terrified at his threats. But no matter how skillful the doctor was, he could hardly save a stillborn baby and bring him back to life.
Ben's wife went through everything that a pregnant
lady had to suffer through but had no chance of seeing her child alive. The stillborn baby was taken away. As Ben's wife was moaning in despair, Grace successfully gave birth to two baby boys. The bigger baby weighed more than five pounds, while the smaller baby only weighed a little over two pounds. Having just given birth, Grace was weak and tired. She held one child in each arm and wept tears of delight.
At that moment, Rose and Sean also arrived at the hospital.
"Where is she! Where is that pregnant lady!" The sound of Rose's furious screams even covered the wails of despair emitted by Ben's wife.
She wasn't afraid of Leader Payne. On Star Island, the Ford family held absolute authority, even more so now that they had Old Master Shaw here to provide them with military strength. In this hospital, Rose could be a s domineering as a cruel tyrant.
In the ward in the gynecology department, Grace trembled in fear. She had two newborn babies. Grace was terrified, worried whether they would be flung to their deaths by Rose, just hours after they were born. A s she was resting in bed, she heard the sounds of Old Master Shaw arguing with Rose in the hospital lobby.
"Rose! This is outrageous! This is a hospital, so many pregnant ladies are waiting to give birth, and yet you’re here, screaming and shouting. You'll scare the newborn babies!” Old Master Shaw berated her harshly.
Rose remained respectful of the old man. "Uncle Shaw, I don't want to do this, I'm from a prestigious family too, but Uncle Shaw, you know she and the two children are ticking time bombs! If I don't get rid of them completely now, maybe decades later, they will destroy the Ford family! Not only am I doing this for the sake of my family, the Quinton family, but I am also doing it for the Ford family. Sometimes, tough decisions have to be made."
Old Master Shaw decided to go with the truth. "The children have been born!"
Rose was shocked.
"The children are innocent! No matter what, they are Sean's flesh and blood. Besides, no one has the right to take the life of another, not even a newborn baby!" This time, the old man was determined to protect Grace. Because Grace’s parents had once offered him help.
