Chapter 814


    Stanley Batton remained silent the entire time. The room was so quiet one could hear a pin drop.


    After the pulse check, Ron Batton let out a deep sigh. “You’d better go find that guy once more…”


    “I know.” Stanley Batton nodded. “I’m going tomorrow.”


    “I’ll stay here with you until you get better,” Ron added.


    “I’m sorry for making you worried, Grandpa.” Stanley frowned slightly.


    Ron sighed and gently patted his shoulder, his eyes rimmed with red. “Silly kid, I’m your Grandpa.


    Of course, I’m worried about you. Unlike your siblings, you’ve gone through a lot since you were a


    kid. Sigh…”


    “Are you sure you want to hide it from X?” Ron continued, “She’ll find out about it anyway.”


    “Let’s just hide it for now. At least she’s happy that way, right?” Stanley added, “You should get


    some rest, Grandpa. It’s gettingte.”


    Sighing once more, Ron got up from the couch and went upstairs.


    Stanley did not follow him. He reached for the teapot on the coffee table and poured himself a cup


    of osmanthus tea, elegantly savoring it.


    After finishing the cup of tea, he finally left the empty living room and headed to his bedroom.


    Meanwhile, X Quest was taking a bath with her mask on and listening to music simultaneously.


    She was ying ‘City in the Sky’ again.


    She was hooked on this song recently. She loved to listen to it at night, especially when she was


    taking a bath.


    This song was like the remedy for her exhaustion.


    The bathtub was full of snow-white foam, and her body waspletely submerged in it, revealing


    only her fair arms and her sexy corbone.


    Seeing that there was no one in the bedroom, Stanley strode to the bathroom and took a look inside


    it.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    When he saw X was taking a bath, he took off his clothes and stepped into the bathtub, sitting


    next to her.


    X’s stomach knotted as soon as she saw the man.


    Her heart stumbled over its rhythm, and pulse began beating in her ears, blocking out all other


    sounds.


    “What were you talking about with Grandpa?” X steadied her heartbeat and asked.


    Stanley pulled her into his arms. “Nothing much…”


    X did not pursue the matter. She surrendered to his secure embrace, enjoying the peace that she


    had been longing for.


    However, the man soon started to do something nonsensical again.


    He broke the silence in the bathroom.


    Water overflowed from the bathtub, and the foam was all over the floor…

    Meanwhile, Georgie Clementine was sitting in front of theputer in her luxurious study room,


    completing her virtual husband’s daily tasks, Cloud Piercer.


    The two of them were currently fighting against the boss.


    They were wearing the newly released limited edition white couple robes in the game, making a


    great pair.


    Their usernames kept appearing in the national chat:


    “Have you seen Extraordinary Geo and Cloud Piercer’s outfits? They’ve bought the new limited


    edition couple robes, which cost thirty thousand dors! That’s insane,” Little Fish eximed.


    “Cloud Piercer is very generous to his wife. He must be really rich,” Axe-man hissed.


    “The good men always belong to the others. I’m so jealous! Sob…” Shaving Ice cried.


    Georgie was tired of their pointlessments.


    The yers would mention their names every time Cloud Piercer bought her a new gift.


    Suddenly, Cloud Piercer sent her a message.


    “We’ve known each other for quite some time. Don’t you think it’s time for us to meet each other in


    real life?”


    When Georgie saw the message, her chest grew so tight it was hard to breathe.


    She was in love with his virtual husband. She had thought of meeting him in real life too.


    Georgie took a deep breath and typed. “Sure.”


    “What city are you in?” Cloud Piercer asked.
