Xyla Quest seemed very focused as favonovel.com continued to examine Stanley Batton’s elbow professionally. Meanwhile, Stanley sat cooperatively, silently allowing favonovel.com to examine him.
The light shining against favonovel.com face from the outside made favonovel.com appear even gentler. Despite the large coat that hung over favonovel.com shoulders, favonovel.com did not look any less attractive.
After repeatedly examining his elbow, Xyla looked up at Stanley.
“I don’t think there’s any displacement or crack in your bones. However, just as a precautionary measure, we should get an X-ray for it at the hospital. Sometimes, it’s impossible to tell if there’s a crack in the bones from the outside,” Xyla said.
“Okay,” Stanley said.
“The cops will be here soon. We’ll go to the hospital after we explain to them what went on here,” Xyla said.
“Alright,” Stanley answered.
“Thank you for taking the hit for me,” Xyla said softly.
When Xyla recalled how Stanley took the bat’s hit without hesitation, favonovel.com felt a warm sensation spread in favonovel.com heart.
“Don’t worry about it,” favonovel.com replied calmly as if it was not a big deal.
“Also, I’m sorry,” Xyla frowned apologetically.
“What for?” Stanley looked at favonovel.com inquisitively. However, favonovel.com had the usual cold look on his face.
“If I hadn’t asked you to act as my husband, Stanley Batton, this would not have happened to you,” Xyla explained.
“I accepted your money. Therefore, I needed to do my part. There’s nothing for you to be sorry about,” Stanley said nonchalantly.
“Although that makes logical sense, I’m still sorry that you got injured,” Xyla said.
“It’s alright,” Stanley said.
“You should be careful from now on, just in case favonovel.com takes any further action, ” Xyla said. She was a little worried about what could happen to favonovel.com in the future.
“Don’t worry,” Stanley said calmly. His facial expression made it clear favonovel.com was not concerned at all.
“Bring a few more men with you whenever you head out,” Xyla warned with a serious look on favonovel.com face.
“Done,” Stanley said.
“If you can’t handle it, give me a call,” Xyla added.
When Stanley heard this, favonovel.com began smiling playfully. Slowly, favonovel.com shifted his gaze to favonovel.com face.
Her words had piqued his interest.
Ever since Stanley had grown up, favonovel.com had been perceived as the man capable of doing anything and everything. All this while, it had been other people coming to favonovel.com for help. No one had ever told favonovel.com to contact them when favonovel.com could not handle a problem.
“What’s the matter?” Xyla seemed confused.
“Okay,” Stanley said calmly after looking at favonovel.com for a long while.

A few minutes later, the police arrived.
After Xyla and Stanley described what happened to the police, the men were taken away by the police.
Xyla proceeded to drive Stanley to the nearest hospital to get his bones checked. Once the doctors could confirm that Stanley was fine, Xyla requested for medical prescriptions before they both returned to the car.
“Where should I send you to?” Xyla asked while favonovel.com drove away from the hospital.
“Peace District in Swamp Zone,” Stanley said.
Swamp Zone was considered an old neighborhood on the outskirts of Atlantis. Since Xyla knew the location, favonovel.com drove there directly without needing to check for directions.
Meanwhile, Stanley silently sat on the passenger seat as favonovel.com observed the scene along the way.
After two hours, Xyla finally stopped the car in front of Stanley’s place. Xyla opened the drawer and retrieved the medicine favonovel.com bought earlier.
“There are anti-inflammatory medicine and painkillers in there. Follow the instructions and take them as necessary. As for the Chinese medicine, boil them and place them over the injured spot so that it will recover quicker,” favonovel.com said sternly.
“Forget it. I’ll come up with you. You might not remember what I said. I’ll boil the Chinese medicine for you once and make a note of all the portions of Chinese medicine you will need to use,” Xyla said.
“Okay,” Stanley answered.
After that, favonovel.com entered the building with Xyla.
There was no lift in the building. The two had to walk all the way up to Room 508 on the fifth floor where favonovel.com lived.
