When Xyla Quest picked up her phone, she saw that there were three missed calls.She thought that she had perhaps accidentally switched her phone to silent mode earlier. She was too focused on talking with Georgie Clementine that she failed to notice the calls.These three missed calls were all from Sharon Lindt.Moreover, the calls were made an hour ago.Xyla knew that Sharon had also called her because she read the news.Hence, Xyla quickly tapped on the number and returned Sharon’s call…Right then, the sound of a door being opened could be heard.Xyla immediately looked in the direction where the noise came from.She saw Sharon rushing through the door with Ron Batton and Wilson Batton.Right then, Sharon’s phone started ringing. The screen showed that it was Xyla making the call.When Xyla heard the ringtone, she immediately tapped the button to hang up. After that, she quickly walked over to them.As soon as the Batton family saw Xyla, they seemed even more panicked wi
Josh Batton and Ron Batton felt the same way.When Xyla Quest saw their eyes, she felt a warm sensation in her heart once again…The Batton family was truly wonderful to her.“Xyla… I read another news ten minutes ago on the way here. The news mentioned that a witness saw you shooting at the helicopter with your bodyguards… You really are amazing…” Sharon Lindt complimented.Sharon was happy that Xyla and the others had sniper rifles.Otherwise, she honestly didn’t know what would’ve happened today.Xyla laughed bitterly and embarrassedly. “It’s not all my doing. The bodyguards were good at cooperating with me…” Xyla replied humbly.“Clearly, it’s you. You’re good enough on your own…” Sharon said.“Indeed, you are… A lot of details weren’t publicly announced on the news. It was only mentioned that, after the terrorist attack happened in Riverdale Market, you led your bodyguards to chase the helicopter away with sniper rifles…“Nothing else was mentioned… However, just by look
Sharon Lindt nodded.“I’ll stay behind and check on Xyla’s wounds. You guys can leave first… I’ll stay over at Xyla’s tonight…” Ron Batton said.“Alright.” Sharon nodded again.Josh Batton took a step forward and looked at Xyla Quest gently. “Sister-in-law, take good care of yourself. It’s getting late. I shall not keep you awake any longer. I’ll come and visit you another day…”Nobody knew why he wanted to come to see Xyla, but he didn’t want to mention it.Josh wasn’t worthy of bringing it up either.“Okay…” Xyla nodded.Josh looked deeply at Xyla. After that, he took the lead by walking out…Sharon and Wilson Batton quickly followed after him.As Sharon walked out after Josh, she turned to look at Xyla. “Xyla… Please take care of yourself…”Xyla nodded. After that, she left with them…Ron didn’t follow the others. Instead, he let out a long sigh and silently sat on the couch.After sending the others off, Xyla quickly returned to Ron’s side and sat down.“This incident
When Josh Batton heard that the other person had hung up coldly, he let out a long, helpless sigh. After that, Josh looked for Director Corbet’s number on his phonebook and dialed it…After a long while, Director Corbet finally picked up. “What else do you have to say?” he asked reluctantly.“I’m truly sorry. I’ll buy you a meal to compensate you. Is that alright with you? I’ll work overtime for the filming that I’ve fallen behind on,” Josh apologized to the director earnestly.Josh’s attitude was incomparably earnest. He had a gentle look in his eyes.Director Corbet’s full name was Gustav Corbet.The television drama that made Josh famous was the work of Gustav.Back when Josh acted in his first television drama, he performed poorly in many aspects due to his lack of experience.However, Director Corbet did not get mad at him, but he even patiently guided Josh.In fact, Director Corbet even personally went to Josh’s room after work to practice acting with him.Sometimes, eve
“Let’s talk when we meet tomorrow,” Director Corbet said before letting out a long, helpless sigh. “I really don’t know what to do with you… You were never like this in the past. What exactly happened this time?”“It’s for someone close to my heart,” Josh Batton said before laughing bitterly. After that, he slowly shifted his gaze forward.“Are you in love? Did your girlfriend ask for a break-up?” Director Corbet asked.“I’m still single…” Josh said.“Well then, what were you doing…” Director Corbet said.“Stop asking. It's a private affair,” Josh said.After having some small talk with Director Corbet, Josh hung up.Josh was driving a luxurious Mercedes-Benz at high speed with no one else around.Although he made Director Corbet upset, he didn’t regret it in the slightest bit…If he could go back in time, and everything were to happen all over again, he would still do the same thing.Even if the news reported that Xyla Quest was fine, he would still want to see Xyla in perso
“That’s great…” Stanley Batton affectionately ruffled Xyla Quest’s hair again.Every move he made was cautious. It was as if he was gently touching a priceless antique.“When you went to stop the helicopter today… Did you end up finding nothing?” Xyla asked.Today, when Stanley came back and saw her, he didn’t bring this topic up. Xyla guessed that he didn’t find anything.Ron Batton also quickly shifted his gaze to Stanley. Ron seemed curious.“Not exactly… We managed to stop the helicopter… The people inside the helicopter were probably afraid of being captured and interrogated by us. Hence, they detonated the helicopter…” Stanley said truthfully.When Xyla heard this, her eyes lit up. “So… So, is it possible that the ‘master’ was in the helicopter?” She asked.However, Stanley shook his head. “Probably not…” He sounded very certain.“Why is that?” Xyla looked confused. She had no idea why Stanley seemed so confident.“When I first landed on the ground today, the other battl
“I can do it on my own… Don’t trouble yourself,” Xyla Quest said.“What trouble? I am doing things for you willingly,” Ron Batton said.“Thank you, Grandpa,” Xyla said.“Silly girl. We’re family. Why would you thank me?” Ron said.After that, Ron slowly stood up and looked at Xyla. “Get some rest. I’ll head upstairs to write the prescriptions for you.”Xyla nodded.With that, Ron went upstairs.After Ron left, the living room suddenly became quiet.Stanley Batton quickly stood up and carried Xyla in his arms.“Let’s go back to the room and sleep…” Stanley said softly by her ear.Xyla nodded obediently…Stanley didn’t say anything else. Instead, he silently held her and walked upstairs.From Xyla’s point of view, she could see Stanley’s perfect jawline as well as his sexy Adam’s apple.Once they got back to the room, Stanley put Xyla down on the bed.After that, he filled the bathtub with water and helped Xyla take a bath.Once the two of them were done bathing, Stanley c
Xyla Quest couldn’t ignore it at all.At this moment, Stanley Batton hadn’t realized that Xyla had woken up…He continued talking to someone on the phone. “Hmm… Alright… I understand… Okay…”Stanley didn’t say much. He only responded with one or two simple words.As usual, he said very little.A soft beam of morning sunlight shone against his fair face.It made his facial features appear unusually distinctive and intricate.His smooth, fair skin seemed to glow under the sunlight…After hanging up, Stanley slowly put his phone into his pocket.He then turned around.Seeing that Xyla was awake, the cold expression on his face instantly vanished…Realizing that Xyla’s forehead was covered in sweat, Stanley quickly got onto the bed.After that, he naturally pulled her into his arms. “Why are you up so early? Hmm? Do you feel uncomfortable? Why are you sweating so much?”Right then, the clock on the wall showed that it was seven o’clock in the morning.Xyla shook her head. “No
