Chapter 425
There was quite a distance between X Quest and Stanley Batton, making it difficult for her to
hear what exactly he was talking about with the person on the call. However, from the changes in
his facial expression and judging by the tone of his voice, X was fairly certain that Stanley was
talking to his girlfriend.
Perhaps they had agreed to go somewhere together today, but they had to cancel their ns
because of her.
X’s heart began to ache while her thoughts went wild.
Stanley hung up the phone and walked over to X before sitting down once more. “Are you
hungry? I’ll get something for you,” he said.
X looked away so that he couldn’t see the disappointment in her eyes. “It’s okay. Georgie will be
here soon. You can leave now. You’re not needed here anymore,” she said tantly.
Her cold attitude made Stanley frown again. “What’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing. I just want to be alone. Hurry along and leave now,” said X.
“There’s something you’re not telling me.” He pressed on.
“I’m being serious. I’m tired. I just want to rest for a while… Hurry up and attend to the things you
need to do. I’ve kept you here long enough.”

After finishing her sentence, X turned to face the window, her back facing Stanley.
“Why are you suddenly being so distant?” Stanley raised a brow slightly as he gazed at her back.
“I’m just tired…” X said as she closed her eyes.
“…” Stanley became quiet. He frowned and continued to silently watch over her back.
For some reason, he could sense that something had definitely changed in her, though it was
subtle.
He couldn’t point out what exactly the change was, but he knew something was amiss.
Perhaps there was a misunderstanding between them which caused this.
About half an hourter, Georgie Clementine arrived with a few bags of supplies.
She rushed to the bed as soon as she walked through the door and ced the things she had
brought on the nightstand.
Since X’s back was facing her, Georgie assumed that she must have fallen asleep. “Is she
asleep? How is she doing?” Georgie asked Stanley.
“Yeah,” was Stanley’s only reply as he continued to look at her back.
Beep, beep, beep…
It was a call from Zack Cassidy. After looking at Georgie, he walked over to another bed and picked
up the call with a serious expression on his face.
“Fifth master, there’s an important document that you need to go through. Where are you?” Zack
asked.
“Got it. I’ll be there soon,” Stanley said.
After hanging up, Stanley looked at X one final time before looking at Georgie, his expression
cold as usual. “Please take good care of her. I have to leave to deal with something at the moment,”
he said.
X slowly opened her eyes. She thought to herself that his girlfriend must have been looking for
him.
After letting out a heavy sigh, X closed her eyes again without saying anything.
Georgie nodded slightly.
Stanley took his ck coat which he had draped over a chair earlier, before quickly putting it on and
walking away.
After he left, X opened her eyes andy on her back before looking at Georgie. “Georgie… I
really think you should hire a caregiver for me. I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to look after me.”
“I don’t trust caregivers at all. Oh right, what’s going on between you and Five Batton? Did you two
argue or something?” Georgie asked, confused.
For some reason, Georgie felt that something had happened between X and Stanley.
When Georgie first walked in, she thought X was asleep since she had her back facing Stanley.
If she wasn’t asleep, why would she have her back facing him, and why didn’t she say anything?
Moreover, X had never asked for a caregiver when she was injured previously. Five was the one
who looked after her. What made this time different?
“No…” X simply shook her head.
