Chapter 812
X Quest picked up the call at once.
“Sister-inw, can you do me a favor?” A familiar voice rang from the speaker.
“What happened?” X asked.
“I’m stuck in one of the washrooms at Antis International Airport. There are thousands of fans
outside, and I can’t reach Chief Clementine…” Ear-splitting screams could be heard over the other
end of the phone as Josh Batton tried to exin the situation to X.
“I’ll send someone there to pick you up,” said X.
After that, she hung up the phone and searched for Georgie’s contact.
Right at that moment, Stanley Batton came out from the kitchen.
Hearing X’s anxious voice, he quickened his pace to X and asked, “What’s going on?”
“Josh is trapped in the airport washroom. Thousands of fans are blocking the door, so he can’t get
out of there,” X exined.
“I’ll ask Zack to check it out.”
Following that statement, Stanley called Zack Cassidy and recounted the situation to him.
After reminding Zack to bring some bodyguards with him, he hung up the phone and gently stroked
X’s hair. “Don’t worry about it. He’ll be back soon.”
“Thanks, hubby.” X smiled and gave Stanley a warm hug, her voice sweet and sappy.
“It’s the least I can do. Continue with your game. I’ll go back to help Mom first, hmm?” Stanley softly
said.
X nodded obediently.
Stanley ruffled her hair again, then went back to the kitchen.
***
The doorbell rang about an hourter.
X happened to end her third round of the game at that instant.
She immediately rose to her feet and darted to the smart door viewer.
On the screen, Josh could be clearly seen standing outside the door.
He was wearing a snow-white dress shirt, and his hair was naturally parted in a three-seven style.
He looked exceptionally young and casual without hair gel or hairspray.
There were two ck-d men behind Josh, both of whom were carrying huge bags in their hands.
X opened the door.
Josh entered the house and changed into slippers. Then, he turned to the men behind him and
ordered, “Bring the stuff inside.”
“What are those?” X peered at the boxes inside of the bags, curiosity written all over her face.
Bird’s nest, cordyceps, Dragon Well tea… There were different kinds of supplements in the bags.
“I bought them on my way here.” Josh added, “Nothing much. They’re just some supplements and
my brother’s favorite Dragon Well tea.”

“Why did you buy so many things? It’s just a family dinner,” X asked.
“I can’t juste here empty-handed, can I?” Josh beamed with pleasure before heading to the
living room.
His smile was infectious and warm as if all the ice and snow around him were going to melt.
X followed closely behind him.
The men in ck left the house after cing the items in the living room.
X and Josh sat down on the couch.
The bags of supplements had upied the coffee table to the brim. There was barely any space left
to put anything else.
“Where are the others?” Josh scanned the house.
X smiled. “They’re busy cooking in the kitchen.”
“I shall help them out.” Josh got up from the couch and headed straight to the kitchen.
The Batton family prepared the meal while X yed her games. She had tried to enter the
kitchen once but was once again forcefully kicked out of there.
Having no other choice, she returned to the living room and continued ying her games.
