Chapter 433


    ***


    Meanwhile, Sharon Lidth and Reba Robin strutted into X Quest’s ward with arge group of


    bodyguards behind them. A various array of tonics and supplements were carried by the guards.


    X and Georgie Clementine were left speechless. The group’s grand arrival was a first for both of


    them and they were unsure how to register the situation in their minds.


    Their eye-catching entrance somewhat reminded X of a Chinese drama she had watched a few


    years prior, called the Empresses in the Pce. There was a scene where the Emperor rewarded


    Zhen Huan with treasures as far as the eye could see. She felt very much like Zhen Huan at the


    moment.


    X did a mental headcount of the bodyguards. There were about thirty of them, each holding no


    less than three boxes of tonics and supplements.


    Even without knowing their actual price, X estimated that each individual tonic could easily cost


    up to five digits and above.


    Sharon casually waved a hand before turning back to look at the bodyguards. “Find somewhere to


    put the things.”


    Hearing the order, the bodyguards began cing the items on the coffee table, on the sofa, and


    even on the floor.


    When they were done, the coffee table barely had any space to put anything else.


    Arm in arm and without warning, Sharon and Reba darted across the ward toward X, asking


    about her condition with concerned faces. “How are you feeling X? Does it hurt anywhere?”


    It took a moment for X to recover from all the shock but she shook it off and smiled at both of


    them. “I’m fine, Aunt Sharon, Aunt Reba. But… Why did you get all this for me? Isn’t this a bit


    excessive?”


    Embarrassment set in as she finally managed to grasp the situation before her.


    What on earth had she done to deserve such royal treatment from her aunts?


    “The tonics and supplements will help with your post-surgery recovery. They’re nothing much but we


    hope you’ll find them useful. Your Aunt Sharon and I split the costs,” exined Reba.


    They’re nothing much? Questions were swimming in X’s head.


    Does money just grow on trees her aunts grew?


    “I really don’t think that I can finish all of them… Maybe the two of you would like to take some back


    to use as well?” asked X, careful with her wording.


    “Nonsense, you can’t just take gifts back, silly. Don’t worry, even if you can’t finish them soon, they’ll


    last for about a year before they turn bad.” Sharon smiled as she exined.


    She then moved to the edge of the bed before sitting there. An expression of pity was written all


    over her face. She pulled X into her arms gently. “My poor baby, it must have hurt so much when


    appendicitis struck.”


    The thought of X suffering only further broke Sharon’s heart.


    X felt her heart melt hearing her aunt’s words. She returned the hug with a warmth in her heart.


    “Yes… It was painful but it’s all in the past now. I’m feeling much better already, Aunt Sharon.”


    “You poor, poor girl.” Reba was heartbroken too.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    X didn’t notice it, but her eyes were red from all the care and love her aunts had just shown her.


    Sharon gave X a few light pats on her back before ending her long hug. “Remember to take the


    tonics we brought, alright X? Don’t you even consider thinking about returning them to us or we’ll


    be mad.”


    Having no other choice, X simply nodded. “Thank you so much, Aunt Sharon and Aunt


    Reba.”


    “Silly kid, it’s our pleasure!” Reba stroked X’s hair gently, an expression of fondness on her


    face.


    “By the way, who’s this beautiful girl?” Sharon turned to look at Georgie who had been standing at


    the side of the room all this time.


    “Ah, let me introduce you to Georgie. Georgie Clementine here is my best friend. She’s also my


    work partner.” X smiled as she introduced her friend.


    While all this was happening, gossips about the two noblewomen who came to visit X with such


    arge amount of supplements were going haywire.


    Hospital staff and even patients from different wards had begun discussing the sensational event.


    Mary Sullivan, who was wrapped in gauze and lying in the intensive care unit, caught wind of the


    conversation through some nurses who were talking about it outside the door. Their voices were


    filled with adoration, admiration, and even envy toward X.


    At that moment, her stomach started to churn and Mary felt a rage building inside her.


    Pure jealousy was all that was on her mind at that moment.
