Loving A STRANGER Chapter 544
Advertisement
Kylie felt like crying when she heard the sad news.
She had promised to stay by Pupu's side in the last few minutes of its life, but she failed to keep her promise.
Ethan held Kylie's hand and squeezed it to comfort her. "It's fine. Pupu will forgive you and feel happy for you if it knows you were in delivery."
Kylie nodded, whimpering, "And? What should we do now?"
"We can bury it in the garden at our back yard," Ethan said. "It can stay with us forever."
"Great." Kylie sniffed, fighting back the tears.
Ethan went to call the housekeeper, and Barbara suddenly thought of something. She asked Kylie, "Do the babies have names?"
Kylie said, "Ethan did make a name for the baby when he thought I was carrying only one in my belly. If it's a boy, his name is Richard Parker. If it's a girl, her name is Eva Parker."
Barbara nodded with satisfaction. "I think the boy's name is good, but the girl's name could be better."
"Mom, why don't you help us think of a better one?" Kylie smiled.
She wasn't lazy, but it was so difficult for her to think of a name now. She was out of strength, and even her mind couldn't work.
Barbara turned to look at Adolph. "Do you have any advice?"
"Me?" Adolph pointed at his nose and looked surprised. "Did you just ask me for advice? Do you want me to make a name for the baby?"
"I just asked you for your advice. It doesn't mean we'll use the name you make!" Barbara rolled her eyes at him.
Adolph didn't mind Barbara criticizing him right before Kylie's face at all. Instead, he began to think about it with full attention.
When Ethan finished the call and walked back, he heard Adolph saying, "Ritchel Parker?"

"Great." Ethan was the first one who approved of it. "I think it's a good name."
"See? Ethan thinks it's a good name." Adolph beamed.
Kylie was also satisfied with it. "I love the name."
Only Barbara didn't show an obvious attitude about it. "Fine, since you all like it, we can give the girl this name."
To let Kylie have more quiet rest, Barbara made an excuse and left with Adolph to see their grandchildren in the babies' room.
After Kylie fell asleep, she still kept sweating because of her weak condition.
Ethan arranged a doctor he trusted most to come here to make sure she was safe.
After the examination, the doctor said Kylie was fine, and Ethan didn't feel fully relieved until now.
In her dream, Kylie was playing with Pupu on grassland. She threw the toy Pupu liked most away with great force, and Pupu chased it up, shaking its tail in joy.
She sat on the grassland, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds above her head. She enjoyed every second of her life.
All of a sudden, Kylie heard noises from the nearby grassland. She smiled and said, "Pupu, you're a little slower this time."
"Who is Bubu?" A little kid's voice sounded from the grass.
Kylie was surprised and abruptly sat up, staring at the little boy staggering towards her.
He was about a year old with a round, cute face. Most importantly, he had exactly the same features as Ethan!
Although she was in a dream, Kylie still remembered that she just gave birth to a little boy who closely resembled Ethan today.
Seeing Kylie staring at him with surprise, the little boy asked her, "Mommy, who is Bubu?"
Hearing that, Kylie almost cried out. "It's not Bubu, but Pupu."
"Bubu." The little boy repeated.

Kylie burst into tears and hugged the little boy with her arms. "You're Pupu, my baby."
"Bubu?" The little boy giggled. "Oh, is it my new name?" At this moment, Kylie felt someone lightly pushing her shoulder. She opened her eyes, then found the pillow was already wet with her tears.
"What did you dream?" Ethan wiped her face with a warm towel.
Kylie threw herself into Ethan's arms and whimpered, "I dreamed about Pupu. Pupu didn't go to heaven."
"What?" Ethan was confused.
Kylie wiped her tears with his clothing, then raised her head to look at him. "Pupu became our son after it died."
Ethan was amused. "Alright, Pupu is our son now." He patted her back to comfort her.
"Are you laughing at me?" Kylie pouted.
"Nope," Ethan said.
"I saw it!" Kylie argued.
"I didn't." Ethan smiled.
"You did." Kylie insisted.
Ethan put on a serious face at once. "See? I didn't laugh at all."
Kylie pouted again. "Carry our babies here. I'll prove it to you." Even though it was just Kylie's dream, Ethan thought it was time to let her see their babies now.
There were bodyguards outside the babies' room 24/7, but Ethan still went to carry the babies over in person.
There was no need for Ethan to knock on the door because the baby's crying was too loud to be ignored, and Kylie knew he was coming back from a distance away.
A blue and a little pink blanket were placed in the crib near Kylie. The boy was crying loud, while the girl was in a deep sleep.
Kylie lightly carried her son up in her arms and said to him in a gentle voice, "Bubu, Bubu, have some sleep."
The next second, a surprising scene happened. The little boy really stopped crying and even looked at Kylie for a short while before it fell asleep.
"See? I didn't lie to you," Kylie said.
"Is it a coincidence?" Ethan bent to look at the baby. He even poked the baby's face with his finger, but the baby was still in a sound sleep.
Kylie removed his hand from the baby's face, then told him her dream with pride.
"You're the boss," Ethan said at the end.
The ward fell into silence again. Kylie fixed her eyes on her two babies, while Ethan stared straight at his wife.
Laurence arrived at the hospital in a hurry after he received the news. He pushed the door of the ward open and felt touched by the loving scene.
"Dad," Kylie moved her sight away from the two babies.
Ethan stood up and moved a chair to the bedside for Laurence.
Laurence put a bunch of flowers down, then walked to the crib with a broad smile on his face. "Let me have a look at my little grandson and granddaughter."
The two little babies slept together, and the younger sister's head was placed on her older brother's shoulder, which looked super lovely.
"Oh, this little boy knows to protect his younger sister at such an early age!" Laurence said.
"He'll protect his younger sister during this lifetime," Kylie said with a smile. "If the younger sister is bullied by anyone, I'll beat his ass!"
Ethan gave her a glance. "Who just forbade me to beat the boy?"
"It's different!" Kylie argued. "I gave birth to him, so I have the right to educate him. If you want to beat your son, go deliver one yourself!"

Campaign: A Project Starfarer Sidestory
This novel’s lore, story and characters are entirely fictitious. Certain long-standing countries, institutions, organizations, agencies, and public offices are mentioned, but their histories and the characters involved are wholly imaginary. "What will you do with your freedom?"Growing up in a meritocracy, infamous for being lawless, Jordan Astros had been repeatedly asked this question, since times unmemorable. In a society where one's accomplishments and skills were tallied and ranked in order to determine one's standard of living however, Jordan quickly grew to understand that 'freedom,' was a reward earned by accumulating Merit. And so, after his 17th birthday, Jordan departed his Clan's habitat in orbit of Europa to embark on his century-long journey to rise from E-Ranker to S-Rank. And spread his name throughout the Galilean Powers. *** Campaign is a sidestory within its NanoPunk parent series, Project Starfarer. (Yet to be published. Be on the lookout for it!) In which the first transhuman known to humanity, the Starfarer, invokes a plan to seed terrestrial life throughout the galaxy. Campaign takes place around the middle of that timeline and explores the life of a key figure in that universe, Jordan Astros. And explores one of four great nations thriving in the Solar System during that time. A Meritocracy that spans Jupiter and its 79 moons, The Galilean Powers. What you'll find in Campaign: Brutal melee combat in airless and pressurized low gravity environments. A technology based progression system influenced by merit and accomplishments; using tech that's theoretically possible to exist in the near-future. An exploratory perspective of the dozens of Galilean societies, or 'Powers,' from Jordans; and sometimes others', POV. What you wont find: Romance. Harems. An MC who receives shortcuts, handouts, learns things unnaturally fast or has OP plot armor. Jordan is not a special individual. Jordan is not OP and he likely never will be. He's no different than any other citizen in the Galilean Powers and will certainly face as many defeats as he does wins. He'll suffer losses and grow as an individual, while the Powers evolves around him as well. This is semi-hard sci-fi/NanoPunk and takes place in a fictional version of our future solar system. Centered around technology that's plausible in the near-centuries to come. Everything abides by the laws of physics/thermodynamics (As best that I understand them, at least. I'm no scientist.) No artificial gravity, inertial dampeners, teleportation, FTL, or hand-wavy materials will be found in the Project Starfarer universe. Just advanced automation, nanotechnology, cybernetics and AI. Set in the backdrop of space. *I do not own the photo used for the cover*
