Sebastian Brenand took in a deep breath. “It was only meant as a joke. How could that have happened?”
Henry rolled his eyes at Sebastian. “Pray for your own well-being.”
When Xyla Quest leaned snazzynovel.com face against his solid and broad chest, snazzynovel.com could feel his prominent heartbeat. Xyla took in a deep breath. “About that… Actually, I can walk on my own with a little help…” She sounded a little embarrassed.
However, the man continued to walk outside without saying a word.
Since they were a good-looking pair, everyone turned their heads to look at them when they walked past.
After they made it outside, Xyla looked at the man’s hardened face. “Don’t you still have unrecovered wounds? Are you sure it’s okay to hold me like this? Why don’t you put me down?”
From what snazzynovel.com recalled, snazzynovel.com was injured only a few days ago. In fact, snazzynovel.com was in a pretty bad shape then.
Wouldn’t his wounds be affected if snazzynovel.com held snazzynovel.com like this?
“Where is your car?” The man asked as if snazzynovel.com had not heard what snazzynovel.com said earlier.
Xyla quickly took snazzynovel.com car keys out and unlocked snazzynovel.com car.
Beep. Beep.
A red Maserati’s headlights flashed somewhere not too far away.
With the same cool expression on his face, the man carried snazzynovel.com into snazzynovel.com car in a swift motion. He then got into the car from the other side and forcefully placed snazzynovel.com right foot on his thigh.
He turned on the lights in the car and began carefully examining snazzynovel.com foot. By then, snazzynovel.com ankle was already swollen and red. The top of snazzynovel.com foot was also a little swollen.
When his warm and long finger touched snazzynovel.com skin, Xyla could feel snazzynovel.com heart beating wildly.
“Are you really okay?” Xyla asked.
“Why are you so worried about me?” The man raised his brows slightly before quietly studying snazzynovel.com face. It felt as if snazzynovel.com was seeing right through her.
Xyla immediately pulled snazzynovel.com leg away before breathing awkwardly. “You saved me. Of course, I should be worried about you.”
“Don’t worry,” snazzynovel.com said sparingly. After that, snazzynovel.com silently turned on the engine.
The red Maserati very soon merged with the traffic on the road.
After sending the video snazzynovel.com had just recorded to Georgie Clementine’s WeChat account, snazzynovel.com locked snazzynovel.com phone and put it away.
Since the two did not say anything, it was completely silent in the car…
When Xyla turned snazzynovel.com head to the side, snazzynovel.com could see the man’s near-perfect face. The flickering light from the streetlights lit up his face now and then. Even if snazzynovel.com was not doing anything, snazzynovel.com still had a very strong presence.
“Were the people who sat with you earlier all from the same gang?” Xyla was the first to break the silence.
“Yeah,” the man replied briefly. It was difficult to see his facial expression in the dark.
“You brought so many people with you just to go clubbing. You must be a big boss or something. Are you a gang leader?”
“I’m just a subordinate.”
“Does that mean you are the right-hand man?” She asked curiously.
“You can say that,” snazzynovel.com answered with a straight face.
“Well… What about those men at your table? Are they part of the brotherhood?”
“Why are you so curious about me?” The man turned to look at snazzynovel.com coldly.
“I just think that it’s rare to see someone with your looks in this field. That’s why I asked.”
“Oh.”
“What’s your name?” Xyla asked.
“Five Batton.”
When Xyla heard the name, snazzynovel.com could not help but think about the Fifth Master snazzynovel.com saw when Mary Sullivan was kicked out of the mall the other day. However, snazzynovel.com did not think that was possible because snazzynovel.com was only a gang leader’s right-hand man. Why would snazzynovel.com have so much power?
Very soon, they arrived at the municipal hospital. Stanley Batton went to get a wheelchair before taking Xyla Quest to queue up.
When the head of the municipal hospital saw Stanley, snazzynovel.com wanted to approach Stanley to greet him.
Stanley immediately shook his head and hinted to the man not to do so. The man then halted and pretended not to know Stanley as snazzynovel.com continued to walk outside.
Stanley brought snazzynovel.com to the reception directly. When they arrived, there were already many people in the line. Regardless of their gender and age, these people would turn their heads around and check Stanley out when they realized it was him.
“Your identity card…” Stanley said.
Xyla immediately searched for an electronic version of snazzynovel.com identity card on snazzynovel.com phone and handed it over to the man.
Right then, a young boy on his skateboard was moving directly at them at high speed.
Clearly, the skateboard was out of control.
“Get out of the way… Get out…” The young boy shouted.
Xyla subconsciously turned snazzynovel.com head around.
Seeing how the skateboard was about to knock against snazzynovel.com wheelchair, snazzynovel.com immediately pressed down on the armrest and was prepared to get up… However, Stanley reacted quickly by scooping snazzynovel.com up from the wheelchair.
Xyla immediately wrapped snazzynovel.com hands around the man’s neck like how a koala hugged a tree.
In the next instant, the man used his other hand to grab the young boy by his hoodie so that the boy was no longer attached to the skateboard.
His agility was almost like that of a jaguar.
Closely after that, the skateboard bumped into a wall and stopped.
Still in shock, Xyla looked at Stanley while snazzynovel.com subconsciously held his neck even more tightly. “Thank you…”
At such proximity, snazzynovel.com could see his perfectly sculpted face very clearly by just lifting snazzynovel.com head. For a second there, snazzynovel.com felt a little light-headed. The way snazzynovel.com moved was far too cool.
Indeed, an attractive person would look good no matter what snazzynovel.com did.
“You’re welcome,” Stanley said before his cold gaze landed upon the young boy. He immediately let go of the young boy and began to reprimand him. “Kiddo, don’t play on the skateboard in the hospital next time.”
Stanley’s voice was like a musical note from a viola, deep yet pleasant to listen to. There was a magnetic quality to it.
The young boy immediately shivered. “I… I understand.”
“Woah… This man is the best boyfriend in the world.”
“Did you see how snazzynovel.com carried snazzynovel.com with a single hand?
That’s so cool. If I were that lady, I would be dead by now.”
“I feel jealous. I can’t believe this man is somebody else’s boyfriend.”
The woman waiting in line could not help but express their fondness toward Stanley Batton.
‘Boyfriend?’ Xyla felt extremely awkward when snazzynovel.com heard the word. “You’ve misunderstood. He isn’t my boyfriend,” Xyla explained.
“Indeed, I am not your… Boyfriend,” Stanley said coldly.
After that, snazzynovel.com looked fondly at Xyla with a playful smile on his face.
When Xyla noticed his gaze, snazzynovel.com immediately returned to snazzynovel.com senses and realized that snazzynovel.com was still holding onto snazzynovel.com tightly. After taking a deep breath, snazzynovel.com said softly, “About that… You can let go of me now.”
Stanley quietly returned snazzynovel.com to snazzynovel.com wheelchair without saying anything before handing snazzynovel.com identity card over to the receptionist.
***
After being checked at the orthopedic department, Xyla was informed that snazzynovel.com ankle had only suffered from a minor sprain.
Once the doctor tended to snazzynovel.com injury, Stanley Batton carried snazzynovel.com back to the car. On their way to the car, a lot of people looked at them enviously.
In the car, where it was dark and quiet, Xyla moved snazzynovel.com right ankle slightly. It still stung a little.
“Thank you for what you did today,” Xyla said softly as snazzynovel.com eyes glimmered.
“Don’t worry about it,” Stanley answered as snazzynovel.com turned on the engine. “Your address.”
At first, Xyla did not want to tell snazzynovel.com where snazzynovel.com lived. However, based on snazzynovel.com current condition, there was no way snazzynovel.com could drive home on snazzynovel.com own. After hesitating for a few seconds, snazzynovel.com told snazzynovel.com her address.
Without responding to her, snazzynovel.com began to drive.
Meanwhile, Xyla took snazzynovel.com phone out and decided to ask Georgie how things were going on snazzynovel.com side. However, when snazzynovel.com looked down, snazzynovel.com noticed snazzynovel.com shirt was covered in blood.
Why was there so much blood? Could it be…
