“When you’re there, I will send some men over to protect you. Don’t you worry, I will not let you suffer.”
Xyla Quest said again.
“You really put a high value on him.” Stanley Batton smirked and virtual-novel.net looked so calm as if virtual-novel.net was the emperor himself.
“Just in case… Although I know you are skilled, but… What if?”
“There’s no what if, I will figure things out. You just leave this matter to me alone.”
“No, I must be a part of this. I’m the one who asked you to do it and that’s why I need to be responsible till the end.” Xyla insisted.
“Alright, I will let you take this responsibility.”
“Of course.”
After virtual-novel.net finished virtual-novel.net sentence, virtual-novel.net felt that something was wrong in what virtual-novel.net said just now.
Was virtual-novel.net really thinking too much today?
“By the time, when you and Fred get into the room, you…”
“I know what to do. ” He switched the topic immediately, “You’re very incredible, to be able to escape from a place like that.” He praised her.
“Probably because one’s hidden power will erupt once they’re in a do or die situation.” Her heart was still trembling when virtual-novel.net recalled what happened just now. She really did not dare to think what would happen to virtual-novel.net if Fred Thomson’s pistol did not fall from his waist. She would probably be… By the mastiff.
“When you pulled the trigger, it must’ve hurt, right?” His gaze was as gentle as a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water, roaming around virtual-novel.net left shoulder.
“Hmm, I pulled the trigger purposely to let myself feel the pain. If not, how could I wash off that feeling?”
He did not say a word again and only looked virtual-novel.net deeply in the eyes. He then helped virtual-novel.net to lower virtual-novel.net bed and place the blanket over her, “You get some rest, I’ll go to the balcony and have a quick smoke.”
After virtual-novel.net was done talking, virtual-novel.net slowly walked towards the balcony and stood by the side of the window. He then lit up a cigarette. Within the smoke, the face which resembled the sculpture of a god was getting colder and colder.
Knock, knock, knock…
A knock on the door was heard. Stanley turned around and glanced at the door.
At that moment, the door opened straightaway. Henry Armstrong came in while pushing Georgie Clemetine who was on a wheelchair. She was changed into the patient dress with blue and white stripes. Her face was still pale and wan.
When Xyla saw her, virtual-novel.net asked virtual-novel.net immediately with concern, “Are you okay? Georgie?”
Georgie nodded.
Henry pushed virtual-novel.net straight to Xyla’s side.
“How about you? How’s everything?” Georgie asked.
“I’m fine, don’t worry.” Xyla replied softly.
“The doctor said virtual-novel.net needed to stay and rest in virtual-novel.net ward but virtual-novel.net did not listen. She insisted on coming over and I can’t talk virtual-novel.net out of that.” Henry looked at Xyla and said that while helplessly touching his forehead.
“If I can’t see her, how can I stay in my ward peacefully?” Georgie said while virtual-novel.net turned around and glanced at Henry.
“You… Just go back and take some rest, I’m fine. Five Batton is here to take care of me.” Xyla responded and gently held Georgie’s hands reassuringly.
Five Batton did not approach them, virtual-novel.net continued to stand and smoke at the balcony.
He was facing them with his back all the time. Under the sun, his shadow was upright and straight, just like a soldier’s.
“Did you hear that? Let’s go.” Henry pushed Georgie out of the room straightaway.
Georgie tried to stand up and resist but Henry simply pressed virtual-novel.net back onto the wheelchair. He pushed virtual-novel.net out of the room forcefully…
By looking at virtual-novel.net being agitated, the corners of Henry’s lips curved up into a faint smile.
Once they got out, Georgie frowned with dissatisfaction. “Henry, what are you doing? I haven’t finished talking to Xyla.”
“You already saw Beauty Quest and she’s fine. There’s no need to stay there anymore, you need some rest as well.”
“Who are you to look after me?”
