Chapter 1351


    “I can do it on my own… Don’t trouble yourself,” X Quest said.


    “What trouble? I am doing things for you willingly,” Ron Batton said.


    “Thank you, Grandpa,” X said.


    “Silly girl. We’re family. Why would you thank me?” Ron said.


    After that, Ron slowly stood up and looked at X. “Get some rest. I’ll head upstairs to write the


    prescriptions for you.”


    X nodded.


    With that, Ron went upstairs.


    After Ron left, the living room suddenly became quiet.


    Stanley Batton quickly stood up and carried X in his arms.


    “Let’s go back to the room and sleep…” Stanley said softly by her ear.


    X nodded obediently…


    Stanley didn’t say anything else. Instead, he silently held her and walked upstairs.


    From X’s point of view, she could see Stanley’s perfect jawline as well as his sexy Adam’s apple.


    Once they got back to the room, Stanley put X down on the bed.


    After that, he filled the bathtub with water and helped X take a bath.


    Once the two of them were done bathing, Stanley carried X back to the bed.


    With the lights turned off, the two of them held each other in the dark.


    X clung onto Stanley like an octopus. She leaned her head against his chest and hugged him


    tightly.


    Right now, the only thing that couldfort her was his embrace.


    “Those battle aircraft today… And those people who helped, who sent them for you?” X asked.


    “The President…” Stanley said.


    “Hmm… You ought to thank him properlyter,” X said.

    “Alright,” Stanley said after gently patting X on the back.


    “X…” Stanley wanted to speak but stopped himself.


    “Hmm?”


    “Stop being sad… Alright?” Stanleyforted.


    “Okay.”


    “Let’s get some rest…” Stanley added.


    After that, Stanley gently patted X’s back and put her to sleep like a baby.


    X, who was extremely tired, unknowingly fell asleep in Stanley’s arms.


    After sensing that X had fallen asleep, Stanley peacefully closed his eyes. He, too, fell asleep


    hugging X tightly.

    The following day, X was woken up by a nightmare.


    In her dream, she experienced the bombing incident in Riverdale Market all over again.


    When she opened her eyes, her body was drenched in sweat…


    Stanley was on the phone in front of therge French window.


    Stanley had his back to her. He wore a white shirt and a pair of ck pants.


    The hem of his shirt was tucked into the ck pants, and the length of the pants was unusually


    long.


    At one nce, Stanley looked much taller than usual.


    There were blue skies and white clouds behind him, and the sun was shining brightly.


    As she recalled her dreams, X’s heart started aching painfully once again.


    Everything that happenedst night was like a huge boulder pressed against her chest.
