All Xyla Quest wanted to tell this person right now was ‘good job’.Xyla began to smile widely. Right then, it seemed almost as if she were brighter than the sun.“Xyla, are you listening?” Lana Harrison asked.“Yeah, I am listening. If you can’t find out who that person is, I’m sure he must be a big shot.” Xyla quickly returned to her senses.Who was this person? He was unbelievably powerful.“That’s for certain. I wonder what Emily and her mother have done to deserve such misfortune. It must be karma,” Lana said.“Yeah,” Xyla said.“They deserve it. I feel happy just thinking about it. Alright, you are probably busy this early in the morning. Aunty shan’t bug you any longer,” Lana said.“Alright. Aunty, let’s have a chat when we are free. Thank you, Aunty,” Xyla said.“Don’t thank me, silly child. It’s what I should do anyway,” Lana said.After hanging up, Xyla turned to face the sunlight before stretching her arms out.When Jeremy Quest came to her mind, she immediately stopped smil

There wasn’t a heating system in the kitchen. On top of that, the water from the running tap was as cold as ice.Emily Quest and May Conner were not even given sponges to wash the dishes. They had to do it with their bare hands.When the oily leaves got stuck on their hands, the duo felt utterly disgusted.By now, their hands had already turned purple from the cold. Their bodies were also shivering.The frowns on their faces were so deep that they could probably kill a fly between their brows.Right now, they were more affected by the hopelessness they felt inside than the cold they felt physically.Although they were both aware of the precarious situation they were in, neither of them could come up with a solution to resolve this mess.Whenever Emily thought of the fact that she was locked in prison until the day of her wedding, she would break down in tears.When she thought of the idea of losing her father completely, she felt even more hopeless.May Conner was in a similar situatio

Right then, the financial news channel began broadcasting news about the Quest family from the living room.The words that came to the ears of Emily Quest and May Conner felt like needles pricking their eardrums.Emily immediately became enraged. She did not understand how Xyla Quest was able to do all this. Why was victory always on her side? Why did good things always surround Xyla?Xyla must be very happy right now. Emily hated her! She was jealous of her! Emily refused to give up!May was feeling the same way. In fact, she could not help but think about how Emily would live in the future with Xyla still in the spotlight. If May was kicked out of the house, she was certain that Emily would not have it easy at home.May was determined not to let something like that happen!Distracted, Emily accidentally knocked her hand against the metal faucet while washing the dishes.Her freezing fingers were in great pain.“Ouch…” Emily cried out in pain before shaking her hand, fervently.Howeve
Chapter 96
Stanley Batton was already seated inside.Dressed in a black oversized shirt and matching black leisure pants, there was a hint of laziness to his calm and composed appearance.His usual hairstyle of segmenting his hair into two disproportionate sections was changed to a loosely brushed-back style today. It made him look very cool and pleasant to the eyes.Right then, he had his head lowered as he flipped through the black leather menu with his long and elegant fingers. He was moving neither hastily nor too slowly, which perfectly embodied elegance and nobility.The chandelier above his head projected a bright light over his fair skin, which now seemed aglow.From afar, Xyla Quest could feel how unapproachable that person was.If she had not known his identity, she would have thought he was from an aristocratic family.After brushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear, Xyla quickly walked over to the seat across him and sat down.They were sitting on two opposite ends of the long di

Xyla Quest placed three of her fair, smooth fingers over her wrist before she spoke.“Cutting refers to pressing down on the vein over here…” She said.After that, Xyla focused on explaining the basic method of checking a patient’s pulse while looking down at her wrist with a focused gaze.While she spoke, she moved her three fingers around her wrist. The way she moved and spoke was solemn.Never at any point did she take her eyes off her wrist.After finishing one part of the explanation, she slowly lifted her head to find that the seat across her was now empty.Immediately, Xyla frowned slightly and turned her head around to look for Stanley.As soon as she did so, she bumped her face against a warm body.There was a vague scent of cigarettes and peppermint mixed into one. It was refreshing and unusual.However, when she noticed what was in front of her, her heart instantly tightened asher face and neck turned red.Awkward!This was the second time she had bumped into this part of hi

After making each important point, Xyla Quest would pause and ask if there was anything Stanley Batton did not understand.Stanley would always say no.Soon, midnight came without them realizing it.Xyla was nearly done with explaining the basics of checking a patient’s pulse.After looking down at her watch, Xyla turned to face Stanley.Right then, he was paying full attention to her. If she were not careful, she might even get lost in those captivating dark eyes.After a second of zoning out, Xyla recollected herself.“I have already explained the most basic stuff. Did you understand all of it?” Xyla asked.“Yeah,” Stanley answered pleasantly.“Really?” Xyla still felt suspicious.If that were true, Stanley would be a genius at Chinese medicine. He was probably one in a million.Nobody in the realm of Chinese medicine could possibly have more talent than him.“Yeah,” Stanley answered.“You… Are you sure?” Xyla seemed doubtful.“Yeah,” he said.“If that’s the case, why don’t you check
Chapter 99
Stanley Batton had given Xyla Quest the perfect answer yet again.“Tell me the truth. Have you really not such prior knowledge?” Xyla seemed very doubtful.“Yes,” Stanley answered.“You are way too smart. Although I think of myself as a genius, I am far slower than you when it comes to learning,” Xyla said.“I’m alright,” Stanley said calmly as usual. The look in his eyes had not changed at all.“Stop being so modest. You’re not just alright. You are amazing,” Xyla could not resist giving him the thumbs up.“Oh,” Stanley said.“It’s getting late. We’ll stop here for today. Tomorrow… Oh, no. It’s already past twelve. Therefore, it’s a new day. Can we continue tonight?” Xyla asked.“Sure,” Stanley said before standing up slowly and picking up his black windbreaker coat.He covered her body with the coat and even fastened one of the buttons.“What are you doing?” Xyla asked.“It’s snowing outside. It’ll be cold,” Stanley said before walking out of the room.When Xyla looked at Stanley fro

Stanley Batton quickly walked to his car.As soon as he entered, a cold breeze blew into the car.Zack Cassidy, who had fallen asleep in the driver’s seat, slowly opened his eyes.Quickly, Zack pushed his golden-framed glasses up his nose-bridge. After checking the time, he glanced at the rearview mirror to look at the aristocratic man in the backseat.“Fifth Master, has the young madam been teaching you about Chinese medicine the whole time?” Zack asked with a look of disbelief.“Yeah,” Stanley answered.“And you sat there like a good boy and listened to her the entire time?” Zack was beginning to wonder if he was in a dream.Zack found it hard to picture Fifth Master sitting next to his wife like a studious child.When did he become this obedient?“Do you have a problem with that?” Stanley asked as he raised his brows and looked at Zack’s face through the rearview mirror.Zack immediately felt a chill down his spine.“No. I wouldn’t dare. I was just curious. What did the young madam
