Chapter 1250


    Stanley Batton thought he was strong enough to ovee anything, and there was nothing he’d be


    afraid of. Now, he finally understood that someone like that couldn’t possibly exist.


    The so-called toughness and fearlessness were only possible when dealing with people and things


    that weren’t one’s weak point.


    Whenever something involved X Quest, Stanley would lose all control within a second…


    Especially right now, Stanley truly felt afraid that X had been afflicted with a rare, incurable


    disease, and she might leave him forever.


    In fact, Stanley didn’t even dare to think about what would be of him if X was no longer with


    him.


    X was his life.


    She was like the oxygen and sunlight that he depended on to survive.


    How would he live without her?


    “Honey… I want to go home… I don’t like being in the hospital,” X said softly.


    X didn’t like the hospital because she hated the cold atmosphere and the strong medicinal scent.


    “Alright…” Stanley replied softly. He casually picked her up and started walking outside.


    Ron Batton followed the two of them with a concerned look on his face. There was a sullenness that


    wouldn’t fade away from his eyes.


    If it were possible, Ron wished it was him rather than X who was ill.


    X was no longer just his granddaughter-inw or disciple.


    To Ron, she was even dearer to him than his granddaughter.


    ***


    After returning home, Stanley carried X to the bedroom.


    To avoid making X nervous, Stanley didn’t show any emotion throughout the entire journey.


    In a swift motion, he switched on the lights with the back of his hand. The baroque-style room lit up.

    Stanley then ced X on the bed in a familiar movement. “Don’t worry… You have me… There’s


    nothing I can’t resolve,” Stanley said.


    With that, Stanley slowly sat next to X and wrapped his arms around her.


    His hug felt warm and safe. X’s uneasiness was relieved somewhat.


    At this moment, they both had mixed feelings in their hearts.


    However, neither of them said anything.


    Stanley frowned slightly. His eyes filled with tears unknowingly. “X… Don’t worry. Nothing will


    happen to you,” he said.


    X nodded. “Hmm, I know…”


    While speaking, X’s eyes also unknowingly filled with tears.


    However, neither of them could see each other’s eyes.


    After hugging each other for a long while, Stanley reluctantly let X go. “I’ll get the water running


    for you in the bath… Hmm?”


    X nodded.


    After that, Stanley got up and entered the bathroom.


    After locking the door behind him, Stanley’s emotions let loose.


    Tears started streaming down his face.


    However, he still forcefully held his emotions in.


    In the bedroom, X’s eyes were also filled with tears…


    She felt afraid. She was terrified.


    ***


    After over ten minutes, Stanley filled the entire bathtub with warm water. Moreover, he added white


    foam and rose petals.


    Once everything was prepared, Stanley tried his best topose himself. He then returned to the


    bedroom and carried X into the bathroom.


    After taking a bath together, X wrapped herself in a white towel. She stood in front of the sink


    with a hairdryer as she slowly dried her hair.


    Stanley also quickly wrapped himself in a white towel.


    After covering up the ces he ought to, Stanley walked up behind X and gently took the


    hairdryer from her. He then started carefully drying her hair.


    He brushed through her hair with his long, slender fingers repeatedly. It was extremelyfortable.


    X subconsciously closed her eyes.


    Warm air brushed the side of her ears.


    At this moment, X hoped that the sweet moment between her and Stanley couldst forever.


    The safe harbor Stanley offered her was far too heart-warming.


    It made X want to stay here forever and never leave.
