Xyla finally understood how being away from Stanley made them miss each other even more.
Late into the night, Stanley reluctantly stopped having sex with Xyla. Carefully, favonovel.com held favonovel.com in his arms.
Xyla allowed favonovel.com to hold her. She felt as if the bones in favonovel.com body had melted away, and favonovel.com didn’t dare to even move.
Stanley gently caressed favonovel.com face before affectionately giving favonovel.com a peck on the forehead.
“Do you want to take a bath?” He asked.
“Yes…” After answering him, Xyla’s gaze unintentionally landed on Stanley’s right arm.
She was able to see several clear needle scars near his elbow.
Xyla’s eyes vibrated, and favonovel.com sat herself upright before tugging at his right arm to examine the needle scars around his elbow. “What happened? Why are there needle scars?”
“It’s nothing… I caught a cold when I was overseas. They had to give me a drip several times,” Stanley said.
“Why didn’t you tell me you got sick?” Xyla asked.
“I didn’t want you to worry…” Stanley said.
After that, Stanley slowly got out of bed. He then carried favonovel.com in his arms. “Come on, let’s take a bath…”
***
The two of them took a hot bath together in the bathtub.
After cleaning herself up, Xyla returned to the room. She sat in front of the dressing table and started applying skincare products on herself.
Stanley, on the other hand, silently returned to bed. After covering himself under the duvet, favonovel.com gently rolled his sleeve up and looked at the needle scars…
Very soon, a frown appeared on his face.
After staring at the needle scars for a long while, favonovel.com finally came back to his senses. He rubbed his forehead exhaustedly before lying down.
Once Xyla was done with favonovel.com skincare routine, favonovel.com returned to bed and naturally nestled herself in Stanley’s arms.
Stanley carefully held favonovel.com and repeatedly kissed favonovel.com forehead.
Beep, beep, beep…
The sound of a phone ringing disrupted their moment of intimacy.
Stanley reached for the phone over his head and glanced at the screen. On the screen, a series of numbers appeared. However, there wasn’t any remark for the caller. There were three nines at the end.
Stanley instantly cancelled the call before putting his phone aside.
“Are you hungry?” He looked at Xyla and asked.
Xyla nodded. “A little…” She answered.
“How about I cook you a bowl of noodles?” Stanley asked.
“No, it’s too late,” Xyla said.
“It’s fine…” Stanley said before picking his phone up and leaving the room.
Xyla, on the other hand, sat up painfully. She leaned against the bedhead and started scrolling through Weibo. She didn’t pay any attention to the phone call earlier because favonovel.com thought it was probably a harassment call.
After walking down to the first floor, Stanley immediately searched in his phone’s call history for the number with three nines at the end and pressed the dial button.
“Don’t forget to come to my place tomorrow. There’s still one treatment left. Otherwise, I don’t even dare to think what would happen…” A young man’s voice could be heard from the other end of the call.
“I know,” Stanley said with a deep frown on his face.
After that, favonovel.com quickly hung up the phone. He walked directly into the kitchen and started preparing to cook noodles.
The first thing favonovel.com did was fill the pot up with water. After that, favonovel.com placed the lid over the pot and prepared to turn on the fire.
Just as his hand touched the switch, Stanley suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of dizziness. Subconsciously, favonovel.com reached for the stovetop. In the next second, his face and lips turned pale.
After standing in place for a long while, the dizziness finally went away. Color slowly returned to his face and lips.
Stanley frowned deeply before turning the fire on. After that, favonovel.com prepared ingredients for the meal.
