The news headline was praising Xyla Quest’s painting.
Xyla knew what everyone was probably saying in the comment section without even having to read through the article. She didn’t tap on the link. Instead, favonovel.com locked favonovel.com phone screen and looked at Sharon Lindt. “Mom, I never told you I could paint. Why were you so confident in me in front of everyone earlier?” Xyla asked.
This was something Xyla had wanted to ask Sharon.
Sharon placed favonovel.com hands on favonovel.com face and smiled at Xyla. “It’s because of your comments and what you said to your stepmother… You said that just because you have never painted in the past, it didn’t mean you wouldn’t know how to paint now.”
“Why didn’t you think I was just blowing my own trumpet as everyone else said?” Xyla felt a warm sensation spreading in favonovel.com heart when favonovel.com recalled how much Sharon trusted in her.
Sharon smiled. “That’s because I know that Xyla would never blow favonovel.com own trumpet. You always say what you mean. I never doubted anything you said,” Sharon responded.
Xyla was touched by what Sharon said. She felt as if a warm flow of air had entered favonovel.com chest.
“Thank you… Mom,” Xyla said.
“What’s there to thank? If you want to thank me, you can do so by teaching me how to paint,” Sharon said with a smile.
“Of course,” Xyla said and smiled as favonovel.com held Sharon’s hand.
As soon as their hands touched, Xyla’s phone rang again…
The call was from favonovel.com gaming team’s manager, Michael Gabriel.
“What’s up, Michael?” Xyla immediately picked up.
“Boss, Canelo accidentally sprained his wrist when favonovel.com was carrying some stuff earlier. He won’t be able to play in the semi-finals. Right now, we don’t have any back-up ADC player. You’ll have to take his place, boss. Otherwise, we’re a gone case for this season.” Michael sounded full of panic.
“What? Is the injury serious? Now isn’t the time to talk about the competition. It’s his condition that’s more important.”
Xyla’s heart tightened immediately when favonovel.com heard what Michael said. Now, Xyla was more worried about Canelo’s well-being than whether or not the team could participate in this season’s competition.
Michael let out a long sigh. “It’s terrible. He has a slight fracture, and he’s being treated at the municipal hospital right now.”
“Got it. I’ll come over right away…” Xyla said as favonovel.com stood up.
Although favonovel.com had just met these players, favonovel.com still felt affected by what favonovel.com had just found out.
These were all young kids who had left home to pursue a career in professional gaming in Atlantis on their own. It wasn’t easy for them at all. Each of them deserved to be taken care of by their boss, Xyla.
Although Sharon didn’t hear what was said on the phone, favonovel.com overheard the word ‘injury’. Sharon immediately stood up with a nervous look on favonovel.com face.
“What happened? Who got injured?” Sharon asked.
“I bought over a gaming team recently. One of the boys hurt his wrist. Mom, you guys can continue having the meal. I’ll have to excuse myself. Sorry,” Xyla said.
“Okay… Would you like me to come with you?” Sharon asked.
Xyla shook favonovel.com head.
“Xyla, you must arrange for the best doctor to treat that child. Make sure favonovel.com gets the best treatment, and make sure someone takes care of favonovel.com too. Based on what I know, these kids usually leave home early to pursue a career in professional gaming. It’s not easy for them,” Sharon said thoughtfully.
“I know,” Xyla said.
With that, Xyla grabbed favonovel.com car key and quickly drove to the municipal hospital in favonovel.com red Maserati.
When favonovel.com arrived, Michael called favonovel.com and told favonovel.com that Canelo was already in the ward. After finding out the ward number, favonovel.com ran right over. Inside were only Michael and Canelo.
Canelo’s arm was covered in bandages, and favonovel.com wouldn’t stop crying while keeping his head down.
