“If that’s the case, has she been discharged? How’s she doing?” Henry Armstrong asked.
“She’s been discharged long ago. She’s doing very well,” Stanley Batton answered.
“Well then, Sebastian and I must come over to visit her. Wait for me. I’m coming back right now,” Henry added.
“Don’t,” Stanley said without hesitation.
“We’re just paying the sick a visit,” Henry said.
“She doesn’t allow me to bring friends home,” Stanley added.
“And you’re not going to just because she says so? Why are you so obedient?” Henry retorted.
“Do you have a problem with that?” Stanley asked.
“No… How would I even dare?” Henry rubbed his head, helplessly.
“But I want to visit her. There’s nothing wrong with your friend visiting her, right?” Henry added.
“Don’t get in our way,” Stanley said before hanging up right away.
Henry felt thoroughly confused.
He couldn’t resist cursing at Stanley. “What the hell has gotten into this friend of mine? Is he a person who values women over his friends?”
After Stanley hung up the phone, Xyla Quest happened to be walking out of the bathroom.
He instantly returned to the couch.
Very soon, Xyla sat down next to him.
“I’ll make a stew for you later. What would you like? Bird’s nest? Sea cucumbers? Or cordyceps?” Stanley asked.
“Can I not have any?” Xyla asked. Stanley had been making all sorts of stews for her these days.
Even pregnant ladies didn’t consume as many supplements as she did.
Today, Xyla wished to experience a day without having to consume supplements.
“No,” Stanley said firmly. He wouldn’t take no for an answer.
Xyla covered her forehead helplessly. “Fine, I’ll have a bird's nest stew. Oh right, I want to have steak again for lunch.”
