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
“Do you think it might be related to your X-ray vision?” Stanley Batton asked.Stanley’s words immediately shocked Xyla Quest… Xyla suddenly started suspecting that it might just be the case.Her symptoms only started after she acquired the X-ray vision.Was this a coincidence?It didn’t seem that way…The X-ray vision was very mystical, and it couldn’t be explained by science at all.Meanwhile, Xyla’s illness was also the same.It didn’t seem impossible for the two to be related.Otherwise, why would Xyla be like this?“Now that you mention, I do think it’s possible…” Xyla said.Back then, Xyla was also exposed to information about X-ray vision in television dramas and novels.In those works of fiction, people who had X-ray vision would use a lot of energy to utilize it.Once they used up the energy, problems would begin to arise in the protagonists’ bodies.Although Xyla knew that it was all made up, she didn’t think she necessarily needed to dismiss it completely…Ho
Yaksha was wearing a white overall.Due to the broad outfit, it made him appear unusually thin.When a breeze with a thick medicinal scent blew over, it entered Xyla Quest’s nostrils.Although the scent was overwhelming, Xyla didn’t feel bothered by it.That was because she had already gotten used to it.When Yaksha saw Xyla and Stanley Batton, he immediately smiled naturally… After that, Yaksha quickly walked up to them and bowed deeply to the two of them.Seeing this, Xyla instantly helped Yaksha up. “Don’t do this… You’re older than us. We really can’t bear it…”Although Yaksha said that he was indebted to Xyla’s family, Xyla felt that an old man shouldn’t behave so humbly toward her regardless of the favor that had been done for him.Besides, he was indebted to her family and not her.Yaksha smiled. “I’m indebted to your family… You must accept the way I treat you… Besides, it’s what I should do anyway.”Xyla immediately shook her head. “Don’t say that… You’re indebted
Yaksha continued to examine Xyla Quest for approximately ten minutes.Ten minutes later, Yaksha slowly let go of Xyla.He didn’t start speaking immediately. Instead, he subconsciously looked around.After making sure that nobody was around, he looked at Stanley Batton. “Can you go out for a while? There’s something I want to tell her privately…”There were things Yaksha wasn’t sure if Xyla had told Stanley. Hence, he needed Stanley to step away.When Stanley heard this, he immediately stood up. “Alright,” he said.Xyla instantly looked at Stanley. “You don’t have to leave,” she said.No matter what it was, Xyla didn’t want to keep it from Stanley. That was because there was no reason to do so.With that, Xyla looked at Yaksha. “He’s my husband, and he has the right to know everything… There isn’t any secret between us. Hence, you can just say whatever you want to tell me,” Xyla said.Yaksha nodded after hearing this. He intentionally lowered his voice. “Have you encountered an
