In fact, Xyla Quest had no idea what these crazy people had on their minds.
Stanley Batton glared coldly at Xyla’s phone screen. He then pulled Xyla over to sit on the couch.
Stanley crossed one leg over the other as he looked at Josh. “Now that things have gotten this far, our parents are bound to find out.”
“Yeah. I know. Dad will definitely nag at me again…” Josh Batton said while placing a hand against his forehead.
“Deal with it on your own,” Stanley said and frowned a little.
“Okay,” Josh said.
“I have work. I’ll leave now… ” Stanley stood up after that.
“I’ll stay here for a while. Go ahead…” Xyla said.
Stanley nodded slightly before walking away.
Not long after Stanley left, Sharon Lindt and Jeremy Quest arrived.
Unlike what the others had expected, Sharon and Jeremy only asked about Josh’s wound. They didn’t nag him about anything else, but they both seemed unhappy.
The two of them sat in the ward for a while before leaving together.
After Georgie sent them off, she began answering questions from reporters. She provided details about Josh’s condition.
To avoid disturbing Josh and the other patients from resting, Georgie invited all the reporters and fans down to the main lobby.
Xyla closed the door and returned to her seat by the bed. “Apart from your head, are you hurting anywhere else?” she asked.
“Hmm, not really. Thanks for your concern, Sister-in-law.” Josh smiled warmly. His gaze seemed equally gentle.
“That’s my job,” Xyla said.
“I’m really sorry for making you worry,” Josh added.
“As long as you’re fine. Stop talking about these things now. Don’t be so reckless in the future,” Xyla said.
“Okay, I won’t.” Josh nodded.
“Have you had lunch?” Xyla asked seriously.
