When Annabeth Cates heard what Josh Batton said, she instantly felt her heart swelling with warmth. She could guess what the subject matter was about, despite not hearing the entire conversation.She hastened her steps towards him.When Josh saw her rapid pace, he immediately dashed forward and grabbed her by the arms with a nervous look on his face.Covering his phone with one hand, he gazed at Annabeth in alarm. “What are you doing? Haven’t I told you not to walk up the stairs so fast? What if you end up hurting yourself? How are you going to compensate for that?”“I’ll find a way, I guess,” she answered.“You can’t.”Annabeth was speechless.“Wait for me upstairs. I’m having a chat with Georgie,” Josh said.Knowing Georgie was on the other end of the line, she immediately snatched the phone away from him. “Georgie, are we invited to take part in another couple’s variety show?”“Yes,” Georgie answered truthfully.Annabeth leaned against the railing after hearing this. She
Quest Group’s official Weibo account called this medicine Resurrection Pill. A single pill was enough to cure different variations of the leukemia illness.At the same time, Quest Group also shared success stories from pharmaceutical companies it owned about how the medicine could cure patients with leukemia.Quest Group hoped to gain everyone’s trust.The company claimed that the cost of production for a single pill was five thousand dollars and that the company wouldn’t make any profit from sales.Suddenly, the company’s official Weibo page came under fire, with people commenting with all sorts of criticisms.“Who would believe your claim that a single pill that costs five thousand could cure all variations of leukemia? Do you think I’m a three-year-old child?”“What kind of herbs require five thousand to produce? This is a gimmick to fool the unintelligent folks. I thought Xyla was a decent person. Yucks! Indeed, she’s a disgusting capitalist!”“Whoever buys this medicine is
Those people were expressing dissatisfaction toward Xyla Quest—“The so-called ‘effective medicine for leukemia’ Quest Group just launched is such a joke. I honestly don’t know how dumb a person must be to fall for it.”“Everyone knows that there are limited methods of curing leukemia for now. There are no new methods at all. After all, this is a very serious disease related to one’s blood. I am speechless.”“Even the best experts in the world wouldn’t claim that they can cure leukemia with a single pill. Xyla, honestly… do you need money that badly? I advise everyone not to buy the pill. After all, it doesn’t work.”“As someone who has been researching leukemia for over thirty years, I can tell you that Quest Group’s medicine is a fraud. I hope none of you fall for it.”“I’ve been researching leukemia for fifty years. I can tell you that their so-called recovery cases are all fake. They paid those patients to lie.”The comments from 'experts' were similar, making Xyla feel helpl
“Why must these people criticize Xyla? I believe she wouldn’t make up something ridiculous like this if it wasn’t reliable.”“Also, aren’t there many cases of people recovering from their illnesses? Why do these people still doubt and criticize her?”“Josh, hurry up and help Xyla by yelling at those people on Weibo,” Annabeth Cates said, feeling annoyed just by looking at screenshots of those criticisms.Even someone with a good temperament like her couldn’t stand it.She didn’t dare to imagine how Xyla Quest would feel.“How can they say five thousand is too expensive, or even doubt the cost of production for those pills? There are many expensive herbal ingredients out there. Don’t these people have access to the internet?” Annabeth couldn’t resist grumbling.The way she was huffing and puffing seemed extremely adorable to Josh, prompting him to ruffle her hair affectionately.“All right, I will.”She resumed mumbling, “Xyla is amazing and she’s making a difference for mankind
“Fine, you’ve already deleted her contact anyway. That will be the end of that, but please don’t do this again,” Annabeth Cates told her husband.“We’ll discuss it next time then,” Josh Batton replied and then handed his phone over to her again. “How do you plan to speak up for Xyla?”Annabeth directly logged into his Weibo account before forwarding a post by Quest Group. It was a post related to the medicine for leukemia.“Get your facts right before criticizing others. I support Xyla Quest,” she typed.Immediately after that, she turned her attention to Josh. “Will this do?”He still had an affectionate look in his eyes. “As long as you’re fine with it.”“I think it’s fine,” she said confidently before pressing the button to publish the post.Instantly, the comment section under post went wild—“Josh, are you crazy? Things are already getting out of hand. Why are you still supporting Xyla? Don’t you want to live anymore?”“Xyla is selling fake medicine. How could you support
Things were getting out of hand, but the President and Vice President never addressed the public.The longer they waited, the more frustrated everyone seemed to be.The protesters weren’t only holding up banners but began to scream crazily.Everything very quickly made its way onto the internet.Everyone condemned the President and Vice President for not responding to protect Xyla Quest, who had become the talk of the town.Outside, it was raining cats and dogs.Xyla was still sitting calmly in her office in Quest Group, silently reviewing work documents while ignoring whatever was happening outside.Sometimes, paying too much attention to those things only made her exhausted. She was better off completely ignoring those people.Once the truth came out, it would all be over anyway.By noon, the criticisms had escalated to an extreme level.Weibo even crashed several times because of the high volume of traffic.After technicians fixed the app for the last time, a famous docto
The public’s comments turned positive within an instant.After working for a while, Xyla Quest began to feel a little tired. She turned off her laptop and launched Weibo for an update.The things she read on Weibo were just as she expected.At that point, she noticed unread messages flooding her Weibo inbox—“Xyla, I’m so sorry. I didn’t think you’d be such an amazing person.”“Thank you for contributing to the betterment of mankind.”“To be honest, if the medicine works, five thousand isn’t a lot. Long live Xyla.”“Xyla, you’re the most wonderful person in the world. I’m sorry.”At the same time, Xyla also saw a post that drew her attention. “@XylaQuest, your medicine is sold out on the official sales channel. When will there be a replenishment? Are there any other channels I could purchase from?”This comment came from the leukemia expert, Larry Wick, who had previously claimed he would never buy the medicine from Xyla even if she begged him.When Xyla saw this abject pos
Xyla Quest was happy and excited about this as it meant she would be able to help countless leukemia patients in the future.Nobody would have to go bankrupt because of treatment costs ever again.While browsing, Xyla suddenly saw a new hot topic on the number one spot, ‘#The President talks about Resurrection Pill’s ingredients#’.Xyla instantly clicked on it, seeing a Weibo post the President had recently published—“The Resurrection Pill is made from various rare medicinal ingredients. Indeed, all the costs involved added up to five thousand.“I once asked how much it was going to retail for, and Xyla told me she’d set it at the cost price so that everyone could afford it. She hoped nobody would suffer from leukemia ever again.“On top of that, Quest Group can offer a full waiver for those who can’t afford to fork out five thousand dollars by submitting documents to prove your financial situation.”The President’s Weibo post was only published less than a minute ago, and ther
