"These...the children’s ashes are in these two porcelain urns?"

Crystal looked at the two black ceramic urns on the cabinet in a daze for a long time.

Finally, she turned to Betty with difficulty and forced a smile.

"Aunt Eisenhower, don't joke about this.I know you don't seem to like the Hopkins family very much, but after all, the children are innocent.You can't curse them like this..."

Betty looked grim and solemn, shaking her head without a word.

Crystal's heart writhed in pain seeing her expression.She anxiously took a step forward and grabbed Betty's wrist.

"How could it be? According to the prenatal examinations, Christina's twins have always been very healthy!!"

"Auntie Eisenhower, you really shouldn't joke with me like this."

She looked at Betty's gloomy face and already guessed the veracity, her voice trembling in sobbing.

"How is it...Where's Patrick? Where's the Hopkins! !"

With grudge laden in her heart, Crystal snarled and squalled, feeling like she was going to explode in a sudden gust of wrath and shock.

How could such healthy babies be lost so abruptly?

 "I told you the Hopkins can't be trusted.Christina has been in trouble for so many days, and with their influence in A City, they should have known about this long ago, but they didn't even send someone for a visit!"

Betty's tone was full of resentment when she mentioned the Hopkins family.

As she spoke, she could not help but feel guilty as well, her voice extremely hoarse.

"Christina had an accident, but she didn't have anyone around with her the past few days, only on her own...I only found out when I received a call from the traffic police yesterday afternoon"

Crystal’s eyes reddened at her words.

"Which ward is she in now? I'll go and see her."

She had been busy with the interviews for a job recently, anticipating that she could settle down with a job before Christina gave birth, so that she would be able to squander her salary righteously on gifts for her godchildren at their sip- and-see party.

But how did everything turn pear-shaped all of a sudden? Betty picked up a delicate and sturdy bag to carefully put away the two urns of ashes, then she took the elevator with Crystal to the 7th floor of the inpatient department.
