Chapter 136
X Quest seemed very focused as she continued to examine Stanley Batton’s elbow
professionally.
Meanwhile, Stanley sat cooperatively, silently allowing her to examine him.
The light shining against her face from the outside made her appear even gentler.
Despite therge coat that hung over her shoulders, she did not look any less attractive.
After repeatedly examining his elbow, X looked up at Stanley.
“I don’t think there’s any discement 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,” X said.
“Okay,” Stanley said.
“The cops will be here soon. We’ll go to the hospital after we exin to them what went on here,”
X said.
“Alright,” Stanley answered.
“Thank you for taking the hit for me,” X said softly.

When X recalled how Stanley took the bat’s hit without hesitation, she felt a warm sensation
spread in her heart.
“Don’t worry about it,” he replied calmly as if it was not a big deal.
“Also, I’m sorry,” X frowned apologetically.
“What for?” Stanley looked at her inquisitively. However, he 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,”
X exined.
“I epted your money. Therefore, I needed to do my part. There’s nothing for you to be sorry
about,” Stanley said nonchntly.
“Although that makes logical sense, I’m still sorry that you got injured,” X said.
“It’s alright,” Stanley said.
“You should be careful from now on, just in case he takes any further action,” X said. She was a
little worried about what could happen to him in the future.
“Don’t worry,” Stanley said calmly. His facial expression made it clear he was not concerned at all.
“Bring a few more men with you whenever you head out,” X warned with a serious look on her
face.
“Done,” Stanley said.
“If you can’t handle it, give me a call,” X added.
When Stanley heard this, he began smiling yfully. Slowly, he shifted his gaze to her face.
Her words had piqued his interest.
Ever since Stanley had grown up, he had been perceived as the man capable of doing anything and
everything. All this while, it had been other peopleing to him for help. No one had ever told him
to contact them when he could not handle a problem.
“What’s the matter?” X seemed confused.
“Okay,” Stanley said calmly after looking at her for a long while.

A few minutester, the police arrived.
After X and Stanley described what happened to the police, the men were taken away by the
police.
X proceeded to drive Stanley to the nearest hospital to get his bones checked.
Once the doctors could confirm that Stanley was fine, X requested for medical prescriptions
before they both returned to the car.
“Where should I send you to?” X asked while she drove away from the hospital.
“Peace District in Swamp Zone,” Stanley said.
Swamp Zone was considered an old neighborhood on the outskirts of Antis.
Since X knew the location, she drove there directly without needing to check for directions.
Meanwhile, Stanley silently sat on the passenger seat as he observed the scene along the way.
After two hours, X finally stopped the car in front of Stanley’s ce.
X opened the drawer and retrieved the medicine she bought earlier.
“There are anti-inmmatory medicine and painkillers in there. Follow the instructions and take
them as necessary. As for the Chinese medicine, boil them and ce them over the injured spot so
that it will recover quicker,” she said sternly.
“Forget it. I’lle 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,” X
said.
“Okay,” Stanley answered.
After that, he entered the building with X.
There was no lift in the building.
The two had to walk all the way up to Room 508 on the fifth floor where he lived.
