Chapter 426


    “Are you sure? Why do I feel like there’s something wrong with both of you? Why didn’t you ask for


    a caregiver when you were injuredst time?” Georgie Clementine pursued on.


    She moved toward X Quest’s bed and sat near the edge. Stretching her arm out, she casually


    ced it around X’s shoulder, pulling X close to her.


    “As you said, that was before. The current situation ispletely different as he now has a


    girlfriend. His girlfriend would be depressed if she found out that Stan had been taking care of me.”


    X smiled bitterly, looking exceptionally lonely and gloomy.


    Her heart began to throb again when she mentioned Stanley’s rtionship. Breathing became


    difficult and she felt like she was constantly out of breath.


    Georgie’s eyes were able to capture all the changes in her expression perfectly. Her utter dismay


    was reflected in her eyes. “X… Do you… Do you have a thing for Stanley Batton?”


    Another bitter smile was X’s response, the girl refusing to deny nor answer with words.


    Despite the silence, her expressions and reactions said it all. Her answer was clear as day.


    Georgie’s immediate response was to turn X’s body to face hers, both her hands sped firmly


    on X’s shoulders. Though a serious expression was etched on her face, Georgie’s eyes


    expressed only sincerity as she spoke her next line. “X… Didn’t you tell me that you’d be careful?


    That you wouldn’t let yourself fall for that man?”


    “Both of you live inpletely different worlds. You shouldn’t mess with this kind of person. Under


    the guise of a temporary husband, I wouldn’t worry at all. However, you can never let him be


    your real husband.” The seriousness in her tone was only amplified with each word she spoke.


    “Your words bear the truth and I’m sure everyone else would agree… But feelings and emotions can


    be difficult to control.” X sighed in her helpless position.


    “That is true X, but you were never meant to be together with him. He doesn’t deserve you.”


    Georgie exined, her adviceing straight from her heart.


    X’s response was a heavy sigh. “There’s no point talking about it now. He has a girlfriend


    anyway. Stan and I being together is nothing but a mere fantasy at this point. Though I admit that I


    still have a thing for him, I’m not going to try to confess or do anything to him.”


    Georgie’s brows furrowed as she frowned. “Well, thankfully he’s got a girlfriend now. Who knows


    what would have happened between the two of you?”


    X’s response was simply silence.


    Georgie held X’s right hand in her own. Her other hand proceeded to gently stroke X’s hair.


    “He has a girlfriend now Georgie. You should seal up those feelings for him. The feelings which


    should never have existed in the first ce.”


    “I’ll try,” X’s muttered as her frown turned into a scowl.


    Georgie did not say anything else. She simply hugged X in her arms tenderly. “I understand that


    you’re having a hard time now… Just let time do its work. Your affection for him will eventually fade


    and your broken heart will slowly heal. Everything will work out just fine, alright?”


    X nodded slightly, refusing to say anything.


    Georgie remained silent as well, continuing to stroke X’s hair gently, trying her best to console


    her.


    She knew very well that X was a smart girl. There was no need for her to say anything else about


    the matter. X was perfectly capable of taking it all in and handling it by herself.


    Knock, knock, knock… Three consecutive knocks on the door broke the silence and the two were


    pulled away from their deep thoughts.


    X’s first reaction was to push Georgie away from her. “I think Noah is here,” she whispered.


    She then shouted toward the door, “Pleasee in.”


    The door was flung open in response.


    Noah Smith entered the ward with a bunch of scarlet carnations in hand. The actual person looked


    even more elegant than the flowers.

    He nced at Georgie Clementine and gave her a polite nod before heading to X Quest’s side.


    “How are you feeling X?” he asked.


    Georgie studied Noah’s face, her eyes full of admiration and approval. She was amazed by the


    man.


    “Much better,” X replied, a kind and gentle smile on her face.
