‘Does Nancy Jules still like Stanley Batton?’ Xyla wondered.However, from the way Nancy spoke with Stanley and her tone, it didn’t seem quite like it…Was Xyla perhaps overthinking it?After all, Nancy had a crush on Stanley back when they were in high school…“Apart from the company they previously worked with, our company is the only one in the world that could provide the chips she wanted…” Stanley said.That meant it had nothing to do with loyalty…Mainly, it was because Nancy didn’t have a choice.Such words thoroughly nullified Xyla’s suspicions that Nancy still liked Stanley.“I see. Regardless, you should still maintain a good relationship with this person… After all, she is backed by the entirety of Country T,” Xyla added.As long as they maintained a good relationship, there would naturally be countless deals in the future…If Country T’s President could delegate such an important matter to Nancy, one could imagine how important her status was in the President’s ey
Since accidents could always happen during surgeries, they were also worried about the bone marrow donor apart from Stanley Batton. They really hoped that Stanley and the donor would both be safe.Since Josh Batton was around, nurses in the hospital kept looking for various excuses to walk past them occasionally.Some even found excuses to walk past over a dozen times…With people constantly walking past Xyla Quest, she felt even more disturbed by their noisy footsteps.Sharon Lindt held Xyla’s hand gently. “Xyla, don’t worry. Everything will be alright,” she said carefully.Although Sharon was also worried, she couldn’t express too much of it for fear of affecting Xyla’s mood.Never mind that Xyla was already pregnant.Even if she wasn’t pregnant, Sharon didn’t want to affect her.Xyla nodded gently, but she didn’t speak. Instead, she silently closed her eyes and started praying for Stanley and the bone marrow donor.“Isn’t Grandpa coming today?” Josh asked.“Your grandfathe
Xyla Quest was genuinely thankful to that person. But she was also worried about him.“He’s fine… He’ll come out first in a while,” Stephen Harris added.***Approximately ten minutes later, the bone marrow donor was wheeled out.Xyla and the Batton family wheeled him into a VIP ward…So as not to disturb his rest, they only spoke a few words to him. After that, they arranged for medical caregivers to look after him before immediately returning to the operating room entrance.Everyone gathered in front of the operating room. After approximately twenty minutes, Stanley Batton was wheeled out by Stephen Harris and a group of nurses.Stanley, who sat in a wheelchair, was wearing a blue-and-white patient’s robe.His face was ashen…Due to the anesthetic, he was still passed-out.Seeing Stanley like this made Xyla’s heart ache badly…Other people felt the same way.Everyone took in a deep breath simultaneously. Then, after suppressing their sadness, they wheeled Stanley back int
Georgie Clementine sent a text message to inform Xyla Quest that she had sorted out many important documents on Xyla’s behalf.Georgie asked Xyla to check her email inbox when she was free to go through the documents Georgie had dealt with.Xyla replied with an ‘OK’…After that, Xyla shifted her gaze to Sharon Lindt’s face once again.“Mom, I have to stay here. I know you’re worried about me, but I’ll be careful. I’ll get the nurses to add another bed beside this one. I’ll sit on the bed when I’m free. Alright?” Xyla asked.Seeing how determined Xyla was, Sharon helplessly nodded in the end.Josh Batton frowned a little as he looked at Xyla concernedly. “Xyla… To be honest, I suggest that you stay at home.”Xyla chuckled and shook her head. “I won’t…”Xyla refused to go home no matter what. She had to stay behind and look after Stanley Batton. Even if there was nothing she could help with, being by his side and watching over him was good enough…Meanwhile, after Josh heard thi
Soon, Henry Armstrong walked over to Sebastian Brenand’s side, too. He placed the basket of fruits on the nightstand. “Exactly… It really was thoughtless of you…” Henry started complaining as well.Before Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton could speak, Henry and Sebastian turned to smile at Sharon Lidnt, Xyla, and Catherine Batton before greeting each of them individually.Stanley glanced disgustedly at the red carnations next to him. “How did you find out about me?” Stanley asked.“I have my ways…” Sebastian said.“Yeah…” Henry said.“Who told you?” Stanley asked.“I was here to get a medical check-up, and I happened to hear it from the director…” Sebastian said.After saying that, Sebastian rolled his eyes at Stanley. “What’s the matter? If the director didn’t tell me, were you going to hide it from us for the rest of our lives? That’s not nice…”“You talk too much…” Stanley frowned slightly.“We didn’t tell you because we didn’t want you to worry,” Xyla explained.“If something
When this topic was brought up, Henry Armstrong shrugged confidently. “She’s nearly there… Anyway, she is no longer against us being together, but she didn’t exactly agree to it…“My father is still trying to persuade her with thoughts,” Henry added.“Not that I want to say this, but your mother really is a pain in the neck,” Sharon Lindt complained.“Exactly. I get a headache just thinking about it,” Henry started complaining, too.“Anyway, whatever. Whether she agrees or not, I will still be with Georgie,” Henry said with a determined expression on his face.Back then, he had spontaneously started liking Georgie Clementine…However, now, his decision to marry Georgie was a firm one…All of this had come out of an extended period of consideration.Henry was this kind of person. Once he decided to do something, he would never be shaken.“All the best, Henry.” Sharon gently patted Henry on his shoulder to cheer him on.“I will, Auntie.” Henry had a look of pure determination o
Xyla Quest shook her head. “It was just for a while earlier. I’m fine now.”Stanley Batton only stopped worrying after hearing that.“Why didn’t you guys tell us earlier? If you did, Henry and I would’ve brought some supplements for pregnant women on our way here…” Sebastian Brenand complained.After that, Sebastian turned to look at Xyla. “Xyla, would you like to eat anything? I’ll buy it for you right now…”Xyla shook her head. “I don’t feel like eating anything…”“In that case, let me know when you feel like eating. I’ll go out and buy food for you right away,” Sebastian said.Henry Armstrong smiled at Xyla. “Me too… This is worthy of a celebration. Xyla, if you have any difficulty in the future, and Stanley happens not to be around, you can come to me. I’ll help you on his behalf…”Hearing the two of them speak one after another made Xyla feel a sense of warmth spreading in her heart.Henry and Sebastian were indeed Stanley’s best friends.They had always been very kind an
Meanwhile, the female celebrities and internet celebrities who accompanied the rich kids also frowned.The person who showed up was Rachel Wood.She came all alone, wearing a light blue, knitted dress, with a white, knitted sweater on the outside. She also held a silver purse, and she wore white flats.With very little make-up on, Rachel’s hair was pulled back into a tall ponytail. At first glance, she looked as gentle as her name implied.Everyone found her face unfamiliar…Her ordinary outfit was also unfamiliar to everyone.These rich kids, celebrities, and internet celebrities were used to wearing major international brands. They knew all too well how ordinary the clothes this girl wore were…None of the clothes she wore belonged to any major international brand…Hence, they subconsciously felt that this girl was probably one of the rich kids’ escorts.Moreover, she was the kind who just entered this field and barely had any money.In their circle, people were judged base
