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

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

“Look for a place of around sixty to seventy square meters, and one at a lower price. It should preferably be away from central areas. A second-hand house works too,” Stanley Batton said.“Fifth Master, don’t you only purchase property in the golden zones?” Zack Cassidy felt that he no longer knew Fifth Master as well as he did before.“Yeah,” Stanley uttered.“I’ll get it done tomorrow,” Zack said.“Buy the house within a day and throw all the furniture away. I want them to be replaced with new ones, but they can’t be from well-known brands,” Stanley added.“Yes, Fifth Master,” Zack said.“Make sure you disinfect the place inside and out for at least three times,” Stanley said.“Got it. Fifth Master, are you going to stay there?” Zack asked.“…” Stanley remained silent as he lit a cigarette and looked out at the city’s busy view at night.The smoke surrounding his fingers made them appear much longer and more elegant.***After Xyla Quest arrived home, she first walked out onto her ba
Chapter 102
It seemed like Jeremy Quest was serious about getting a divorce despite how badly it hurt him.Xyla Quest did not react to it as she continued to hold Jeremy’s arm as they walked out the door.After the snow from the night before, the courtyard was completely white.The servants and bodyguards were occupied with clearing the snow.After Xyla and her father greeted everyone, they proceeded to run out of the courtyard and continued along the pedestrian lane.By then, most of the snow in the middle of the road had already melted away. However, the snow on both sides of the road had not completely melted yet, and sanitation workers were busy shoveling them aside.Although the weather was cold, neither of them felt cold because they were exercising.After running along the asphalt road for a few kilometers outside their house, the two leaned against a wilted cherry blossom tree to rest.With their backs facing each other, they panted heavily. Their clothes were soaked all the way through.“

To people like them who lived a pampered life of luxury, the art of embroidery was completely unfamiliar territory. They had never held a needle at home. If something was damaged, they would just throw it out, so there was no use for needles. Needles punctured their fingers, and it was frightening to look at. Out of carelessness, the needle on Emily’s right hand once again pricked her left index finger. As the stinging pain spread, the last of her patience was gone. She immediately threw the embroidery frame onto the ground, wailing and yelling, “Are we living in ancient times right now? “To think handmade embroidery still exists! How would I know how to do it?! Is this torture? I’m a pregnant woman. What merits do they have for torturing me to death? “Why did the others get so little handkerchiefs while we get so many? Did that sh*tty Xyla Quest bribe someone? “Is Father really going to ignore this? And Brother Sullivan, why is he ignoring me? I’m pregnant with the Sulliva
