Chapter 102 Delivery
The next day, Jameson and the others were admitted to the hospital to tend to their wounds.

Aiden was chatting with Blake when Yazmine appeared.

"Yaz!" he exclaimed, standing up.

"Aiden!" Yazmine ran to hug him tightly. Aiden did the same, kissing her neck.

"That jerk has a girlfriend," Blake muttered. His phone beeped; it was time for him to leave. He gave Aiden one last look and left.

"Did you miss me that much?" Aiden asked as Yazmine continued to hug him tightly.

"You have no idea," Yazmine mumbled. "I was so scared when I heard about the bomb. Are you hurt?" she asked, looking up at him.

"Just a little..."

"Huh? Where? Let me see," she demanded, checking out his body.

"Yaz, I'm fine," he assured her, but she refused to listen. Aiden pecked her lips, and she froze.

"I'm fine," he said again, tucking her loose hair behind her ear. His eyes caught a figure in the distance, and his movement paused.

Yazmine traced his gaze and found Jameson. His arm was wrapped in bandages, same as his wounds.

He approached them with a straight face.

"Oh no," Yazmine's face was filled with worry as she checked her brother. "How could you not be careful? Why did you have to get this hurt?"

"This is nothing, sis. I heal faster than a vampire," Jameson assured with a smile.

Yazmine smacked his shoulder, and Jameson yelped.

"A vampire would have healed within a minute."

"You hug him and hit me? This is not fair, sis."

"How do you expect me to hug you in your condition? You're all wrapped up."

"The doctor overdid it. I'll ask them to remove it," Jameson said and got another smack from her.

"Remove it, and I'll kill you," Yazmine glared.

Aiden watched the two siblings with a smile, but it dropped when Jameson shifted his gaze to him. For a while, he kept quiet, which made Aiden feel unsettled.

"Take care of my sister."

His words made Aiden's lips part in surprise. Jameson just accepted him?! His smile returned.

"Thank you, sir. I'll take care of her," Aiden said, bowing slightly.

Jameson stepped closer to him and placed his hand on Aiden's shoulder.

"Break her heart, and I'll torture you until you die," Jameson warned, and Aiden's face turned pale. How scary.

Yazmine smacked Jameson from behind. "That's enough," she pouted.

"Can you stop hitting me?" Jameson pouted. Yazmine surprised him by hugging him.

"Thanks, James," she smiled.

"Mr. James!" someone yelled from a distance. Jackie appeared, and her eyes widened at seeing his condition. She ran towards him and gasped.

"W-what happened? Why are you this hurt?" Her eyes teared up, and she immediately began to cry.

"Hey, hey," Jameson drew her close, her head laying on his chest. "I'm fine... I'm fine. Stop crying."

Meanwhile, Candy and Diego returned to the mansion. Old Mavis's eyes teared up seeing Diego. He took slow steps towards his grandson, his eyes glittering with tears.

"You're alive," his voice trembled. "You're alive," he said again, hugging him tightly. Diego did the same, smiling.

"I'm always alive, Grandpa. We have good news for you," Diego turned his gaze to Candy. "You'll be having a great-grandchild soon."

Old Mavis laughed with joy and spread his arms for Candy for a hug.

"Thank you so much, angel," he said, his voice filled with sincerity.

The news about Romeo's death and Diego's return spread through the city. Diego visited Romeo's grave, dropping flowers. The shock on the faces of the employees in the company was priceless; they were so happy to get their boss back.

As for the shareholders, Diego bought them back and conducted deep research on those with bad histories, then sent them to jail.

Venessa was badly hurt when found, and Vincent was in trauma due to his wife's death. They were in prison.

Einstein went back to his family after seeing Diego. Ben was so happy.

However, Diego was extra careful with Candy. She was like an egg. He read a lot of books about pregnancy until he became an expert himself.

He coached her daily, making sure she ate healthy food, went to the hospital when needed, and, most importantly, helped her out during pregnancy pain.

In the eighth month, Diego got a call from the doctor. His face turned pale hearing the news, and he immediately stormed out of the board meeting.

He got to the hospital in no time and found out where Candy was.

His breath became erratic as he paced around. He could hear the slight screams of his wife.

Yazmine, Jameson, and Jackie showed up too. They had also rushed there.

"Guys, I'm freaking out," Diego's voice trembled as he swept his hair back.

"It's fine."

Diego wanted a surgical birth, but the doctor said it wasn't advisable. Even childbirth was risky for her due to her condition.

He wanted to find a surrogate mother, but Candy refused. It wasn't easy for him to agree, though.

Candy's scream came again. This time, Diego didn't waste a moment; he entered the labor room and headed straight to her.

She was breathing erratically, her body filled with sweat as the doctor helped her.

"Di?" Her voice was filled with pain.

Diego held her hand.

"Look at only me. You can do this. Okay, I love you," he said, running his fingers through her hair.

"It hurts so much, Di. I can't bear it," she cried, tearing Diego apart.

"Imagine you and I with our child, smiling and playing with each other."

Candy nodded, her chest heaving hard.

"You have to make this happen, Candy. I trust you can do this," Diego whispered.

The doctor ordered her to push, and Candy's scream filled the room as she obliged.

"It's not out yet, Di. Oh please, God. Why is it taking so long?"

Diego gave her an assuring squeeze. He wished to take the pain away. He kept assuring her and keeping her calm until she was done. Candy collapsed onto the bed.

After catching her breath, her eyes met with her husband's, staring close at her. He didn't take his eyes off her even for a second.

"We did it?" Candy asked between breaths.

"Yes, we did, wife," he smiled, caressing her cheek.

The nurses smiled at each other. These couples were so engrossed in each other. It's rare to see people like them.

"What do we have, Di?" Candy asked, hearing the tiny cries that filled the room.

Diego finally avert his gaze and look at the nurses.

A frown settled on his face when he saw them holding two babies.. Why are they holding two babies?

Seeing the shock look on Diego's face the nurse announced with excitement.

"Congratulations! You have two healthy baby boys!"
