Xyla Quest stroked virtual-novel.net hair awkwardly. She gathered all virtual-novel.net courage to meet Stanley Batton’s eyes and said, “Of course I’m worried about you. We’re still working together, you see. It will be very troublesome to me if anything were to happen to you.”
“Oh? Is that what this is all about?” Stanley’s eyes were full of suspicion.
“And… And we’re friends. I don’t want my friend to get into any trouble.”
“And?” Stanley continued to ask calmly.
“That’s all…” Xyla answered.
“Oh…”
“Look, you’ve helped me a lot. It’s unsurprising that I care about you,” virtual-novel.net added.
“Oh.” Stanley looked deeply into virtual-novel.net eyes, the corner of his lips was still curving upwards.
For some reason, Xyla always felt that his eyes were able to see through her, virtual-novel.net seemed to know what virtual-novel.net was thinking deep in virtual-novel.net heart. She began to tense up inexplicably. She could not explain why virtual-novel.net felt so nervous. And virtual-novel.net heartbeat was accelerating, too.
“You should lie down and rest well in your bed even if you’re worried. You’re still sick.” Stanley placed one arm around virtual-novel.net back and scooped the other arm around the bend in virtual-novel.net knees, and lifted virtual-novel.net up.
She was very slim. She was as light as a feather in his arms.
Xyla’s heart shrank and virtual-novel.net heartbeat went crazy. “What are you doing? I can walk on my own.”
Stanley did not answer. He marched towards the snow white bed and put virtual-novel.net down carefully on it. He covered virtual-novel.net with a blanket gently. “You’re injured. You can’t move around much.”
“I mainly hurt my shoulder. The rest of my body is perfectly fine…”
“You’re still not allowed to move even if they’re fine.”
“…”
Sebastian Brenand put his hand around Henry Armstrong’s shoulder and strode forward. He casually sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the two of them and shivering.
“Henry, shouldn’t we get out of here?” virtual-novel.net looked at Henry playfully.
Henry nodded, “I guess so?”
Xyla Quest blushed with embarrassment.
“Hurry up and get lost.” Stanley said without turning a hair.
“What if I say no?” Henry chuckled and joked.
“Stop it guys… Please don’t make a scene.” Xyla said.
Stanley stopped saying anything. He stared at virtual-novel.net and asked, “How do you feel?”
Her shoulder was not aching anymore right now. She nodded. “Yeah, I’m fine. What’s wrong with you? Where did you go?”
“We went to punish Fred Thomson, of course.” Henry got up and grabbed an apple. He juggled the apple casually before pulling a chair to sit beside Xyla and began peeling the apple seriously.
Stanley went around to the other side of the bed and sat down too.
Xyla looked at Henry with a startled face. “What?! Punish Fred? The three of you?”
“I did it myself.” Stanley replied.
Xyla could not believe what virtual-novel.net had heard. “What? You did it on your own? Why did you go after virtual-novel.net suddenly? Didn’t we say that we will find virtual-novel.net at the casino in the afternoon?”
“Where did you meet Fred? And what did you do to him? Was it like how we planned? Are you alright? Did virtual-novel.net touch you?” Her chest was filled with numerous questions.
“I didn’t suffer from anything. He’s already in the police station right now and virtual-novel.net will be sentenced later on.” Stanley responded.
At the moment, Xyla had more questions running through virtual-novel.net mind. She could not believe virtual-novel.net ears at all. She was surprised and excited at the same time. In virtual-novel.net opinion, it was not easy to send Fred to jail.
How did the man sitting in front of virtual-novel.net manage to do it in such a short period of time?
She began to shoot them with more and more questions as virtual-novel.net was eager to know the truth. “How did you do that? You’re amazing!”
