At this moment, Xyla Quest’s body was completely limp, and her face seemed pale. Beads of sweat began appearing all over her body. Within a few seconds, it seemed as if she had just taken a hot bath.When Stanley Batton saw her in this state, he instantly panicked.All of a sudden, he felt an emptiness in his chest. After that, his mind went completely blank.Ever since Stanley was a child, he’d gone through countless hardships. There were sad moments, and there were happy moments. There were get-togethers, and there were farewells.Stanley thought he was someone who’d experienced enough in life, and he even had a taste of a near-death experience.However, at this moment, he was as frantic as a three-year-old child.“Honey… What happened to you? Wake up!“Say something… Wake up!”Stanley subconsciously raised his voice. He looked at Xyla and frantically called for her.Right then, the door opened.Ron Batton cheerfully walked in with his white walking stick and a cage of parr
Without saying a word, Stanley Batton turned on the car engine. He then quickly turned the car around before stepping on the accelerator and speeding forward…Although Stanley drove at a very high speed, the car remained stable.Under the night sky, the luxurious, black Rolls-Royce was like a majestic horse on the green plains. It was unusually domineering.The air in the car felt almost frozen.Both Stanley and his grandfather had extremely sullen expressions on their faces…At this moment, Stanley wished he were driving a rocket!In the past, he never thought that the car was slow.However, right then, he found it awfully slow despite already stepping all the way down on the accelerator.At this moment, it happened to be nine o’clock in the evening…It was the busiest time for nightlife in Atlantis.There were people and cars everywhere on the road.However, Stanley couldn’t care less.With his maneuvering, the black Rolls-Royce overtook one car after another…By the tim
Stanley Batton frowned slightly before retrieving a golden card from his pocket smoothly. He also took out a white name card with his name on it before tossing it to the Audi owner. “This is money for repairing your car… There’s no password to it. If it’s not enough, you can contact me…” Stanley said.After that, Stanley stepped on the gas pedal and left.The entire process was straightforward, and Stanley didn’t beat around the bush at all.Such a scene thoroughly shocked the surrounding pedestrians…The cars nearby even subconsciously came to a halt…Everyone took their phones out to record what happened…Meanwhile, Stanley couldn’t be bothered. Instead, he continued to speed forward.“Who the hell is he? Why is he so arrogant?”“I don’t know… I find that car owner very handsome…”“He must be in a hurry, right? His temper is awful, but I like it.”“He crashed into the car and simply gave the owner his card… That’s so manly… Ahh…”In the back, a few female car owners couldn
Not long after the respirator was inserted into Xyla Quest’s nose, she slowly opened her eyes.The bright light above her head hurt her eyes. As soon as she opened her eyes, she subconsciously closed them.Everyone who was feeling nervous instantly sighed in relief when they saw this.The vice director, Stephen Harris, looked at Xyla. “How do you feel? Mr. Batton said that you suddenly fainted, and you even started sweating all over… Dr. Batton couldn’t figure out the cause of your ailment at all. Tell me, how did you feel before you fainted?” Stephen asked.“Also, how are you feeling right now?” Stephen added with a concerned look in his eyes.Stephen’s words instantly reminded Xyla about what happened before she passed out.At the time, she didn’t feel anything unusual.Xyla immediately looked at Stephen and told him the truth. “I didn’t feel anything unusual. Suddenly, everything turned dark, and I fainted right away…”No matter how hard Xyla tried to recall, she couldn’t th
“I hope Xyla’s ailment is a minor one…” Ron Batton murmured to himself in a comforting tone.Although Ron knew that he couldn’t possibly have failed to detect a minor ailment, he still had a ray of hope in his heart.Stanley Batton didn’t say anything. Instead, he sat down on his seat once again.Soon, Ron also sat down shakily.The examination on Xyla Quest’s head took a total of two hours.Throughout the two hours, all the medical professionals, including Stephen Harries, who led the team, were frantic.During that period, Xyla silently checked her pulse several times, but she couldn’t discover any issue.In the end, the efforts of Stephen and the rest all turned out futile.Left without a choice, they extracted Xyla’s blood and checked other parts of Xyla’s body.However, they still couldn’t identify any problem.Compared to their frantic demeanor, Xyla appeared much more relaxed. Most of the time, she sat on her emergency patient bed.Even if she wanted to move, a few me
What was the most terrible outcome that this sickness could lead to?‘Was it death? Was it a permanent coma? Or would she be paralyzed?’Regardless of what outcome it was, Xyla Quest couldn’t accept any of them…At this moment, Xyla felt both restless and defeated.Stephen Harris could also sense Xyla’s defeat. He helplessly patted Xyla on the shoulder. “Ms. Quest, don’t be too pessimistic. I believe there will be a way,” he said.Xyla nodded mechanically, but she didn’t say anything.Soon, Stephen opened the emergency unit’s door.When Xyla saw this, she immediately got out of bed.Right then, she felt like a normal person again.She didn’t feel dizzy, and she felt refreshed.When a few medical professionals saw her standing him, they instantly stepped forward to hold her.However, Xyla shook her head. “It’s okay… I can walk on my own. I’m really fine…”After that, Xyla brushed their hands away and walked to the door.Seeing how worried Stanley Batton and Ron Batton looke
Stanley Batton thought he was strong enough to overcome anything, and there was nothing he’d be afraid of. Now, he finally understood that someone like that couldn’t possibly exist.The so-called toughness and fearlessness were only possible when dealing with people and things that weren’t one’s weak point.Whenever something involved Xyla Quest, Stanley would lose all control within a second…Especially right now, Stanley truly felt afraid that Xyla had been afflicted with a rare, incurable disease, and she might leave him forever.In fact, Stanley didn’t even dare to think about what would become of him if Xyla was no longer with him.Xyla was his life.She was like the oxygen and sunlight that he depended on to survive.How would he live without her?“Honey… I want to go home… I don’t like being in the hospital,” Xyla said softly.Xyla didn’t like the hospital because she hated the cold atmosphere and the strong medicinal scent.“Alright…” Stanley replied softly. He casual
Soon, Xyla Quest started silently praying for herself.She prayed that she would be healthy and well.She also prayed that she could stay next to Stanley Batton for a longer time…Soon, the dizziness swept over her once more.Xyla subconsciously opened her eyes…However, as soon as she opened her eyes, the dizziness faded away.Her illness was really strange.Since the dizziness faded away so quickly, Xyla decided not to bring it up.Since they couldn’t discover anything at the hospital, she had no reason to tell Stanley.What was wrong with her? Xyla really wanted to know.How long had it been since she last felt dizzy and nauseous?This was already the third time she felt this way…“What’s the matter?” Sensing that Xyla was lost in thought for a moment, Stanley turned off the hairdryer and asked.“Nothing…” Xyla shook her head.By then, Xyla’s hair was already dry. Her black, curly hair naturally fell by her waist. Under the light, she seemed to be aglow.Her face with
