Chapter 424


    “It’s alright. I’ll ask Georgie to hire a professional caregiver to look after me,” X Quest said as she


    shook her head.


    X knew for a fact, that any woman would be upset to find out that their boyfriend was constantly


    taking care of another.


    She didn’t want something like that to happen.


    Since Stanley already had a girlfriend, he and X should keep some distance between them.


    This was X’s way of showing respect to his girlfriend.


    Sensing something amiss with X, Stanley frowned slightly. “Is anything the matter?” he asked.


    Beep, beep, beep…


    At that moment, X’s phone on the nightstand began to ring.

    His hand moved over to pick the phone up but just as he was about to hand it over to her, he


    unintentionally saw that it was Noah Smith who was calling her.


    Stanley looked at X briefly before picking the call up on her behalf and cing the phone in her


    hand.


    X looked at who the caller was. “Noah, what’s up?”


    She began coughing almost immediately after she spoke.


    “Is something wrong? Why does your voice sound weird?” Noah asked, somewhat worried.


    “Oh. I’ve been hospitalized because I have appendicitis,” X said.


    “Hospitalized? Which hospital?” Noah asked immediately.


    “Municipal Hospital…”


    “I’lle over right away.”


    “You really don’t have to…”


    Before her sentence even ended, Noah had already hung up.


    X simply sighed before giving Georgie a call.


    When she picked up, X exined the situation she was in to her. She then asked Georgie to find


    her a professional caregiver.


    After hearing theplete story, Georgie asked worriedly, “Appendicitis? You’ve even undergone


    surgery? I don’t trust caregivers. I’ll look after you personally,” Georgie said in a determined voice.


    “You’re a busy person Georgie, don’t even think about it.” As she said that, she began coughing


    again.


    Speaking this much was making her feel a little exhausted.


    “Multitasking is easy for me. You’re definitely more important. Alright, let’s stop the chit chat. I’ll be


    coming over right now,” Georgie said before hanging up.


    Stanley sat silently next to her as he listened to her conversation with Georgie. His brows furrowed,


    a slight confusion reflected in his eyes.


    Something felt wrong with X. She had neverined about him taking care of her before this.


    Why was she suddenly pushing him away?


    Beep, beep, beep…


    Stanley’s phone began ringing, interrupting his thoughts.


    When he saw that it was a call from Catherine Batton, he stood up and walked over to another bed.


    “What is it?” He asked with a softened gaze after picking up the call.


    “I’m at your office… Where are you?” Catherine asked.


    “I’m busy right now. Go home,” Stanley said.


    The warm sun’s rays passed through the hospital window andnded on his face. It made his fair


    skin look somewhat translucent.
