Chapter 850


    Ron Batton gazed at them thoughtfully. Having no other choice, he nodded helplessly. “Okay then.”


    After that, Ron went upstairs, leaving the two alone in the living room.


    The two watched the old man until he was out of their sight. Making sure that he had gone upstairs,


    Stanley Batton ced his right hand behind X Quest’s back, scooped her knees, and lifted her.


    “Let’s get some rest too. Hmm?”


    X nodded. “Sure, but please put me down. You’re not feeling well recently, are you?”


    “Nah, that’s not true,” Stanley rebuked.


    “Your body should be frail when anemia kicks in.”


    “Do you think I’m weak?”


    “... Anyway, you should take care of yourself…” X reminded him.


    “There is no need,” Stanley insisted.

    The next day.


    At the Quest family’s house.


    Emily Quest and May Conner were observing X’s house with binocrs from the rooftop.


    X’s red Maserati and Stanley’s ck Bentley Arnage were both in their line of sight.


    “Apparently, that blockhead went backst night.” Emily sneered.


    “Yeah. It’s already eight o’clock, but the two haven’t gone out yet. Do you think X hasid her


    cards on the table? Maybe they’ve quarreled for the whole night.” May raised her brows.


    “No idea, but I think X won’t leap to any hasty conclusions before she finds out the truth. She’ll


    first identify the recording’s authenticity, then work out a n to find out whether Stanley shares the


    same blood type as her,” Emily mumbled.


    “Is that so?”


    “No matter what’s going on between the two of them now, they’ll divorce in the end. That’s


    inevitable. I’m sure they’ll get into a big fight today.”


    “That’s great. I’m looking forward to it… ” May coldly snorted.


    Following that statement, May grabbed the ss of watermelon juice in front of her and finished it in


    one go.


    She then contentedly got up from the couch and left the rooftop.


    Seeing that, Emily immediately emptied her ss and hurried to May’s side, leaving the rooftop


    together with her.

    Meanwhile, at X and Stanley’s house, the lovebirds had just woken up in each other’s warm


    embrace.


    Sunlight streamed golden through the white gauze curtains, shining softly on their huge bed. The


    two’splexions were as white as snow in the sunlight.


    Just as X was about to open her mouth and greet Stanley, a feeling of nausea surged within her


    and her stomach began to churn.


    She immediately covered her mouth and retched.


    Very soon, the sour taste in her throat disappeared…


    Stanley looked at her with a concerned face. “Are you okay?”


    X shook her head. “I guess my stomach is messing me up because I was starvingst night.”


    “I’ll make some breakfast for you.” Stanley jumped off the bed and went straight into the bathroom


    to wash up.


    X did not get out of the bed. Shezily hugged the nket and closed her eyes.


    Once again, a wave of nausea swept over her.

    However, it onlysted for a second this time.


    Keeping her eyes shut, X ignored it and got back to sleep.


    After she and Stanley came back yesterday, they had cuddled and chatted for a long time before


    falling asleep. Her body was weak, and her mind was exhausted as a result of sleep deprivation.


    Shey on the bed until Stanley walked out of the room. Only then did she slowly sit up on the bed


    and stretched her back. Instead of getting herself ready, she reached for herptop on the bedside


    table and flipped it open.
