But remember! Her father hugged her because he thought she was his favorite daughter-Whitney. What if her father knew that she was his daughter whom he had abandoned?
Unconsciously, tears began to roll down Winnie's cheeks. She hated her father, but she also longed for his embrace who had always treated her well since childhood. Before the heartbreaking incident happened to her.
"You must stay healthy ... The proof is that you can give birth. Therefore, from now on we must prioritize your health too."
Although Whitney was no longer a teenager. Her father still treated her like a little girl. It made Winnie's chest tighten even more, knowing how much her father loved Whitney.
30 minutes later, it was Oliver who walked into Winnie's hospital room, with a serious face. Making Winnie quite confused. Had something bad just happened? Shouldn't Oliver be happy that his contract with Winnie was coming to an end?
"Whitney's condition hasn't changed," Oliver said, making sure the door to his room was closed and no one could hear him from outside.
"Oh, my God. Did she hear that I went into labor?"
Oliver nodded his head. "Listen, Winnie ... The day after tomorrow at 3am, you have to go to Ireland. So that no one knows you're gone. I've prepared everything you'll need there."
"But, I want to meet Whitney-"
"Not for now ... Because Jude and Sir Danny are still monitoring you to harm you. Once you're in Ireland, you'll have to change your appearance back to the way it was. So that people don't realize that you're Whitney's twin. For now, I can't guarantee your safety here. Because I have to look after Whitney and my two children."
"I don't want anyone to get hurt again," he continued.
"Since our contract is over, you can leave the US as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Winnie felt like refusing Oliver's order. However, she could not be selfish either. Indeed, these past few months, Winnie had always felt insecure because Oliver's enemy, was always watching her from a distance.
"You have to make sure that Whitney will stay safe. Also, please say goodbye to her ...." Not wanting to be selfish and not wanting to make herself unsafe if she continued to be in this country, she preferred to follow Oliver's orders even though it was very difficult.
"Oh yeah, your mom ... She's out of prison," Oliver said.
"What the hell? Isn't her sentence still a few years away?"
She was very surprised to hear that. How many more surprises was she going to hear today?
"Someone set her free. Do you remember any of the men who were close to your mother or who worked with your mother while dealing drugs?" Oliver asked.
Winnie tried to think hard. However, since she had just given birth, her mind was not yet refreshed. So it took time for her to recall the names of the men her mother had been romantically involved with or her mother had given orders to deal drugs to.
Before Winnie could finish her thought, the hospital door was knocked on by two nurses who brought the twins to her.
"Good afternoon, Mr ... Ms ... We just wanted to see your son and daughter off," greeted one of the nurses.
They pushed the two cots, which had wheels so they could be easily moved.
Oliver and Winnie looked at each other with meaningful eyes. Oliver had deliberately not brought the baby to Winnie's hospital room. So that she would never see the face of the children she had given birth to.
However, of course, Oliver's parents didn't know this so they ordered the two nurses to bring the baby to Winnie's hospital room.
Looking at the baby she had given birth to, Winnie's eyes now glazed over. The baby boy had brown hair like Oliver, while the baby girl had blonde hair, like Winnie.
"Don't stare at them for too long! Remember, you have to leave here the day after tomorrow!"
Quickly, Oliver warned her! He didn't want Winnie to stare too long at the two sons and daughters he had borne.
***
5 months on, Whitney's condition has not improved, but she still tries to look her best in front of her two children.
Natalie Amberlynn Genevieve and Nathan Amberlynn Genevieve. Whitney and Oliver's twin son and daughter.
The media was eager to find out how handsome and beautiful the couple's twins were, but of course, neither Oliver nor Whitney allowed the faces of their young son and daughter to become public consumption.
It was Whitney's dream to become a full-fledged mother. Even the pain in her body doesn't matter anymore. Most importantly, she could continue to accompany her two children who were getting smarter by the day.
"Mr. Oliver ... Sir Genevieve would like to speak with you," said one of the bodyguards.
At the time, the small family was at Oliver's parents' residence.
Then, he quickly made his way to his father's study. Would his father give him an update on the progress of his enemies out there?
"Did you call me?" asked Oliver as he opened the door to his father's study.
"Sit down," said his father with a serious face.
"Are you going to be honest with me, was it your wife or another woman who is carried your children?"
All of a sudden, his father asked such a question, which surprised Oliver.
How could he know? Did Alex tell him?
"Be honest with me, Oliver. Looking at Whitney's deteriorating condition, it looks like she's been in therapy for more than 6 months. While the pregnant woman I met 9 months ago, her physical condition seems to be fine. I'm not saying this because I doubt Whitney. It's just that, looking at the results of her health tests, over the past 1 year, her condition does not allow her to get pregnant."
Sir Genevieve gave the health certificate in Whitney Amberlynn's name to Oliver. It turned out that his father had secretly figured it out himself.
The temperature of his hands became colder. Because in the end, the secret they had been keeping tight would finally be known at least by Genevieve's family.
"Is he her twin?" asked Sir Genevieve again.
Oliver's gaze fell on his father. He nodded his head and apologized.
"I have to do this. Because Whitney ... She's pressuring me and she wants to have a child ...."
"Oh God! Does that mean the pregnant woman i met is her twin?" Sir Genevieve asked again to make sure.
Oliver nodded his head again.
"And now, Whitney's condition hasn't improved at all. I -- I want to take her to Singapore for treatment ... I wanted her to be comfortable with treatment away from the US or UK. But Whitney doesn't want to. She didn't want to be away from her children."
While he was talking to his father, someone knocked on the door. And it was his bodyguard again.
With a panicked look on his face, Oliver felt uncomfortable.
"What's wrong?"
"Mr ... Ms. Whitney ... Mmmh i mean her mom appeared in front of the Australian media with Sir Danny. She spoke about Amberlynn's family past .... "
What did Whitney's mom say? How did the public react and especially how did Whitney react? Will her health suffer as her past is brought up again by her mother?
