Chapter 1342


    Stanley Batton and X Quest’s phones’ screen showed the same contents.


    There were still all sorts of news reports about the helicopter bombing incident at Riverdale Market


    —


    “Currently, investigations are underway on the terrorist attack at Riverdale Market.”


    “During the Riverdale Market’s terrorist attack, fifty people suffered from serious injuries, ten people


    suffered from minor injuries, and eighty people died…”


    Every number that came into sight made X’s heart ache intensely.


    Suddenly, X’s hands started shaking uncontrobly.


    When Stanley saw this, he carefully pulled X into his arms.


    It was as if he was protecting a fragile y doll.


    “X… Don’t be like this. I’m begging you…” Stanley pleaded humbly. His eyes were filled with a


    gentle and sad look.


    “Honey, I feel truly awful…” X’s voice was already extremely hoarse.


    “I know, but all of this isn’t your fault…” Stanley said.


    By now, X felt that she didn’t even have the energy to speak. Hence, she didn’t speak anymore.


    She knew that the root cause of this incident was principally the murderer.


    However, it still happened because of her after all. She didn’t feel that it had nothing to do with her.


    That was why she still couldn’t stop hating herself.


    Those people were dragged into this by her…


    Ding-dong, ding-dong—


    Right then, the doorbell started ringing.


    The sudden noise interrupted the extremely tense atmosphere in the living room. It also interrupted


    their conversation.


    Stanley carefully pulled X away. He then slowly walked over to the door where the doorbell


    monitor was located and had a nce…


    When he saw Georgie Clementine standing outside the gate, he instantly unlocked it…


    Soon, both the gate and the door to the house were opened.


    Stanley was still worried about X. He returned to her side.


    Right then, X was leaning weakly against the couch. She closed her eyes, and she didn’t say a


    word.


    After half a minute, Georgie quickly walked into the living room.


    Georgie was shocked by how badly bruised X seemed.


    She instantly stepped forward and held X’s hands tightly. “X… How are you? You must have


    been terrified when that happened, huh?”


    As Georgie had walked too fast earlier, she was still panting slightly.


    X shook her head and slowly sat upright while she looked at Georgie. “I’m fine… These are only


    external wounds…”


    Although the tiny, crisscrossed wounds on X’s face had already been tended to, they still seemed


    swollen.


    At a nce, X appeared to be in a terrible state…


    “These external wounds are quite serious…” Georgie added.


    “This is nothingpared to what those people went through,” X said andughed bitterly. “Why


    are you here?” she asked.

    “I saw the news. When I saw that you were injured and was brought to the municipal hospital, I


    quickly went to the hospital. In the end, the hospital staff told me that you had already returned


    home. After that, I rushed over…” Georgie said.


    Georgie was still panting when she spoke. She had a concerned look in her eyes.


    X immediately felt a warmth in her heart when she heard this. “Georgie… I’m sorry for making


    you worry.”


    “What an idiot! What are you saying?” Georgie said.


    X smiled bitterly. She didn’t say anything further. Instead, she closed her eyes again.


    “Georgie… Please tell her not to be sad anymore…” Stanley said with a troubled expression on his


    face.


    “Are you sad because you witnessed people getting hurt and dying?” Georgie asked.
