Emily Quest instantly stopped walking and turned her head to listen to what they were saying carefully.
“You seem to be getting better… But you should still be careful…” Ron Batton said seriously before letting go of Stanley Batton’s hand.
“Okay,” Stanley said.
“However, based on the amount you need now, that person probably won’t be able to satisfy you. In the end, you still need Xyla. I think you should talk to her about this…” Ron added.
“We’ll talk about it when the time comes,” Stanley said.
“Sigh… I know you aren’t willing to use her blood, but even so, you still have to in the end…” Ron said.
“Let’s not talk about it now…” Stanley let out a long sigh.
“I’m really happy to see you two getting along so well now. My efforts to get you two to be together weren’t a waste. You can only continue to live well with Xyla by your side…” Ron added.
Stanley didn’t say anything. Instead, he silently poured himself a cup of tea and finished drinking it.
Outside the door, Emily seemed shocked.
What did their conversation mean?
Why did it sound like there was an ulterior motive for Stanley to marry Xyla and that the Batton family was so nice to Xyla? Why did it sound like they were doing it for Xyla’s blood?
Most importantly, it sounded like Xyla had no idea about their motive.
From what they said, Stanley seemed to need Xyla’s blood to continue living.
Could it be that Stanley was nice to Xyla not because of love but because he wanted to get her blood?
This must have been the case.
When Emily thought of this, she secretly began to feel happy…
Emily really wanted to find out how Xyla would feel once she realized her husband married her and was nice to her with an ulterior motive…
The more Emily thought about this, the more excited she became.
