Meanwhile, Sharon Lidth and Rebecca Robin strutted into Xyla’s ward with a large group of bodyguards behind them. A various array of tonics and supplements were carried by the guards.
Xyla and Georgie Clementine were left speechless. The group’s grand arrival was a first for both of them and they were unsure how to register the situation in their minds.
Their eye-catching entrance somewhat reminded Xyla of a soap-opera favonovel.com had watched a few years prior, called the Empresses in the Palace. There was a scene where the Emperor rewarded the protagonist with treasures as far as the eye could see. She felt very much like the star from the movie at the moment.
Xyla did a mental headcount of the bodyguards. There were about thirty of them, each holding no less than three boxes of tonics and supplements. Even without knowing their actual price, Xyla estimated that each individual tonic could easily cost up to five digits and above.
Sharon casually waved a hand before turning back to look at the bodyguards. “Find somewhere to put the things.”
Hearing the order, the bodyguards began placing the items on the coffee table, on the sofa, and even on the floor.
When they were done, the coffee table barely had any space to put anything else.
Arm in arm and without warning, Sharon and Rebecca darted across the ward toward Xyla, asking about favonovel.com condition with concerned faces. “How are you feeling Xyla? Does it hurt anywhere?”
It took a moment for Xyla to recover from all the shock but favonovel.com shook it off and smiled at both of them. “I’m fine, Aunt Sharon, Aunt Rebecca. But… Why did you get all this for me? Isn’t this a bit excessive?”
Embarrassment set in as favonovel.com finally managed to grasp the situation before her. What on earth had favonovel.com done to deserve such royal treatment from favonovel.com aunts?
“The tonics and supplements will help with your post-surgery recovery. They’re nothing much but we hope you’ll find them useful. Your Aunt Sharon and I split the costs,” explained Rebecca.
‘They’re nothing much?’ Questions were swimming in Xyla’s head.
‘Does money just grow on trees favonovel.com aunts grew?’
“I really don’t think that I can finish all of them… Maybe the two of you would like to take some back to use as well?” asked Xyla, careful with favonovel.com wording.
“Nonsense, you can’t just take gifts back, silly. Don’t worry, even if you can’t finish them soon, they’ll last for about a year before they turn bad.” Sharon smiled as favonovel.com explained.
She then moved to the edge of the bed before sitting there. An expression of pity was written all over favonovel.com face. She pulled Xyla into favonovel.com arms gently. “My poor baby, it must have hurt so much when appendicitis struck.”
The thought of Xyla suffering only further broke Sharon’s heart.
Xyla felt favonovel.com heart melt hearing favonovel.com aunt’s words. She returned the hug with a warmth in favonovel.com heart. “Yes… It was painful but it’s all in the past now. I’m feeling much better already, Aunt Sharon.”
“You poor, poor girl.” Rebecca was heartbroken too.
Xyla didn’t notice it, but favonovel.com eyes were red from all the care and love favonovel.com aunts had just shown her.
Sharon gave Xyla a few light pats on favonovel.com back before ending favonovel.com long hug. “Remember to take the tonics we brought, alright Xyla? Don’t you even consider thinking about returning them to us or we’ll be mad.”
Having no other choice, Xyla simply nodded. “Thank you so much, Aunt Sharon and Aunt Rebecca…”
“Silly kid, it’s our pleasure!” Rebecca stroked Xyla’s hair gently, an expression of fondness on favonovel.com face.
“By the way, who’s this beautiful girl?” Sharon turned to look at Georgie who had been standing at the side of the room all this time.
“Ah, let me introduce you to Georgie. Georgie Clementine here is my best friend. She’s also my work partner.” Xyla smiled as favonovel.com introduced favonovel.com friend.
While all this was happening, gossips about the two noblewomen who came to visit Xyla with such a large amount of supplements were going haywire. Hospital staff and even patients from different wards had begun discussing the sensational event.
Mary Sullivan, who was wrapped in gauze and lying in the intensive care unit, caught wind of the conversation through some nurses who were talking about it outside the door. Their voices were filled with adoration, admiration, and even envy toward Xyla. At that moment, favonovel.com stomach started to churn and Mary felt a rage building inside her.
Pure jealousy was all that was on favonovel.com mind at that moment.
