He bowed his head, like a devout believer, and kissed Selena Kensington’s belly through the thin blanket and clothing.

"As you command, madam."

He whispered softly.

His tone was tender and deep.

Selena saw that Sterling Norwood’s expression was relaxed, and there was no longer the gloom between his brows and eyes as before.

She let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing Sterling looking at her so gently and tenderly, Selena couldn’t help but smile as well.

Just as a trace of smile appeared on her lips, it suddenly stopped.

Immediately, her expression turned solemn.

A slight distortion and struggle appeared on her face.

Sterling was watching Selena’s expression all along, so when she showed that kind of expression, he immediately sensed something was wrong.

Just as he was about to ask what was happening, Selena pushed him away.

Sterling was already defenseless against Selena, and the sudden burst of strength from her caught him off guard, causing him to be pushed to the ground.

But Sterling was too preoccupied to think about why Selena suddenly pushed him away.

"...Ugh...Ah..."

After Selena pushed Sterling away, she suddenly curled up in pain.

Her legs struggled to curl up, her back bent, and her hands instinctively touched the area of her belly.

She grabbed her clothing tightly.

Even though she felt pain at the moment, she remembered not to harm the child in her belly, so she restrained her hands from reaching for her belly.

Her face was devoid of color, and her originally pink lips turned dry and parched.

Pain and struggle appeared on her face.

Selena could barely maintain her sanity at this moment.

Because there hadn’t been any unexpected situations before, Selena hadn’t thought much about Sterling’s previous worries about the newborns devouring her Heavenly Master Power.

But now, this sudden reaction made her truly realize how naive she had been before.

That feeling, as if her entire body’s blood was being swept away by the cold aura.

Plus, the Heavenly Master Power that was originally flowing through her body seemed to be attracted by some force, desperately wanting to surge towards her belly.

Like a huge rock pulling her down from inside her stomach.

’Boom!’

’Boom!’

...

That unnerving sound was crashing against Selena’s mind, seemingly trying to break down her psychological defenses step by step.

Although Selena wanted to stop those Heavenly Master Powers, and tried to erect a barrier, the attraction from those two newborns remained.

She couldn’t hold on for long...

Selena painfully tugged at her clothes and blankets but tried hard not to make painful sounds.

Because it would make Sterling worry even more.

Selena’s reaction only lasted a few seconds.

But to Selena, it felt like an eternity.

When Sterling got up after being pushed down and looked at Selena, he understood what was happening.

His mind went blank for a moment.

Why was it happening now?!

Accustomed to being calm and in control, he found himself helpless in the face of such a situation.

But seeing Selena’s painful reaction, Sterling bit his tongue.

Threads of fresh blood flowed from his mouth.

The taste of blood stimulated Sterling, bringing him back to his senses.

He stood up and called Dr. Norwood and Sean Norwood directly.

Sterling did not hesitate further; he first made a call to Dr. Norwood, then let him contact Sean on his own.

"Get to the main residence as fast as you can!!"

Sterling gritted his teeth slightly as he spoke.

There was still a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, but the negligible pain he felt was nothing compared to the pain Selena was enduring now.

After Sterling hung up the phone, he quickly turned to Selena.

Seeing her curled up in pain but unable to suppress her cries of pain from escaping her lips.

"Ugh..."

Though only a minute had passed, the strands of hair on her forehead were already stuck with sweat.

"Don’t hold back, if it hurts, just cry out..."

Sterling watched Selena clench her fists tightly, her nails almost digging into her flesh.

His face was full of heartache and regret.

When Sterling said this, Selena shook her head slightly with the last bit of reason she had.

She was better than before because the reaction wasn’t constant.

It was intermittent.

Maybe because it was just the first reaction from those two newborns, so it wasn’t frequent or severe.

But just this one reaction was enough to make Selena feel like she had walked past The Gates of Hell.

Seeing the reaction in her belly gradually subside, Selena’s expression eased slightly.

She relaxed her stiff fingers and arms.

"I’m sorry..."

Sterling said hoarsely.

His tone was full of guilt and remorse.

Perhaps because he could only watch his wife suffer in pain while he was powerless to help.

Selena managed to raise a pale smile, trying hard to shake her head slightly at Sterling.

Because the previous reaction had exhausted her strength.

At this moment, Selena didn’t have the extra energy to do anything else.

Seeing Selena’s dry and bloodless lips.

Sterling strode to the table and poured a glass of plain water.

He gently helped Selena up, letting her lean against the bedside.

"Drink up, dear."

Sterling spoke softly.

Selena was already thirsty, and seeing Sterling bring the water, she nodded slightly.

Sterling held the cup, carefully assisting Selena to drink the water.

As Selena drank, she glanced at Sterling’s hand with the corner of her eye.

The hand holding the cup trembled slightly.

He was afraid.

Because what had just happened was too sudden, neither Selena nor Sterling had reacted quickly.

But Selena could still feel the suffocating, chilling aura lingering in her body, constantly pulling her down, siphoning her Heavenly Master Power.

For a few seconds, Selena’s mind was almost broken down by those ’Boom’ ’Boom’ sounds...

That sound, as if the call from hell itself.

But then Selena remembered the dark period before she committed suicide in her past life, the time of pain and oppression she survived, so this time she had no reason to fail.

Moreover, in her belly, was her child.

This was her and Sterling’s child, no matter what, she wouldn’t fear them.

Therefore, Selena kept persevering.
