Chapter 422
It was a WeChat message from Noah Smith, asking when he could sign the contract with X
Quest.
X chose to reply by calling him. He picked up almost immediately. “Aren’t you going to ask about
the contract details before signing it?”
Noah chuckled. “I’m quite sure that you won’t treat me unjustly.”

“Even so, couldn’t you at least pretend to be a little more worried?” Xughed. She liked Noah’s
straightforwardness.
“It’s fine, really. Just get the contract ready and tell me once it’s done. We can sign it in person.”
“Sure,” replied X.
After hanging up, X suddenly felt an acute pain in her abdomen. It came from the lower right
side.
Her face turned pale almost immediately.
As the pain slowly increased, her body became weaker and weaker.
She held onto the sides of the bathtub to pull herself out.
A secondter, she lost control of her legs and she fell forward.
Instinctively, she grabbed on to the closest thing to her and it was a metal shelf full of skincare
products.
However, this only resulted in the metal shelf crashing to the ground with her.
As the skincare products were mostly stored in ss containers, shards of broken ss flew
around the room in a sickening crash.
The concoction of liquids mixed on the floor, forming an unbearable stench. It made X nauseous
almost immediately.
When she tried to get to her feet again, she just couldn’t find the energy to do so.
The pain from the cramp in her abdomen was only growing more severe with every breath she took.
In her mind, she guessed that it was acute appendicitis after putting two and two together.
Not too long after, the bathroom door swung open.
Stanley Batton ran into the room. When he saw X sprawled on the ground, naked and pale from
all the pain she was experiencing, he froze in utter shock.
He instantly moved toward her and helped her up. “What happened here?” His eyes were full of
worry.
X could barely even form words with her mouth. She shook her head before pointing toward the
pain in her abdomen.
She was aware of the shameful state she was in and despite all the pain, her face still managed to
turn red. She wanted to tell him to help put some clothes on her but her mouth simply would not
comply.
All she could do was let him hold on to her and see her body as it was.
Stanley acted fast, carrying her swiftly to her bed. He returned to the bathroom to get a towel and
wiped her body dry.
Though she felt like she could die from embarrassment as Stanley helped her, the pain in her body
was so overwhelming that she couldn’t care less about being seen naked anymore.
When she looked into his eyes, she was able to sense how worried he was. It brought her heart a
slight calm amidst the pain.
Once her body was fully dry, Stanley rushed to her closet and randomly grabbed a set of
undergarments and a white hoodie before putting them on her.
The pain had not stopped and it was getting worse. X’s vision began to fail her. She was losing
consciousness at an elerated rate.
Though this was the case, she didn’t feel scared at all. It was mostly because she knew Stanley
was with her.
She felt like there was nothing to be afraid of as long as he was by her side.
Stanley picked X up again before rushing down the stairs and gentlyying her down in the back
seat of his Honda.
“Hang in there X, we’ll be at the hospital very soon.”
With that, he quickly shut the back door and got into the driver’s seat.
He elerated all the way to the hospital, his ck Honda as swift as an arrow.
As he drove, he frequently looked at the rearview mirror. Looking at her poor condition, his heart
continued to ache.
On his way to the hospital, he called the dean of the Municipal Hospital. “Get a few paramedics on
standby at the hospital’s entrance…”
Stanley didn’t care about anything else. He tossed his phone onto the passenger seat and
continued driving on.
