Chapter 1191
"Not only that, but Stanley even acquired all the shares from his father and grandfather." Linda said.
"However... After acquiring the shares, Stanley transferred all the shares and his assets to Xyla's name." Linda added.
"D*mn... Xyla sure is good at this... How did Stanley's parents react?" Ann asked.
"I heard that his parents haven't found out." Linda said.
"This is no small matter. You mustn't let anything slip out of your mouth... If Stanley's parents find out, and a family conflict arises, I'll be dead." Linda added.
Right then, everyone all replied with an 'OK' and indicated that they wouldn't dare to speak of the matter.
Every word and sentence that came into view made Mary Sullivan feel greatly shocked...
Mary knew that Stanley Batton loved Xyla Quest, but she didn't know that he loved her this much.
He was able to hand over his empire to her completely.
At this moment, Mary was incredibly jealous...
She really didn't understand why Xyla, this b*tch, was always this lucky.
Her husband adored her, her parents-in-law loved her, and her father adored her. Why did she deserve all this?
Wasn't god very unfair?
When Mary thought of this, she shifted her gaze to the words 'his parents haven't found out'.
Mary figured that she probably knew how to make Xyla's life miserable.
If Stanley's parents found out he could be this brainless for a woman, they'd be outraged!
After all, those were the fruits of several generations' labor of the Batton family.
When the time came, Stanley's parents would hate Xyla thoroughly because of this matter.
They would surely think that Xyla manipulated their son into giving Dragon Group empire to her!
After all, Dragon Group was very important to them.
Mary didn't believe that Stanley's parents could still be so kind when their source of income was affected! She didn't believe they'd continue to be fond of Xyla! When Mary thought of this, she quickly dialed a number on her phone that she saved as 'Bloody Hacker'.
After informing that person about what happened between Stanley and Xyla, she asked that person to find a way to spread the news using Linda's name... The person immediately agreed.
Mary wanted to make a huge deal out of the matter. After that, she'd induce a conflict in the Batton family!
She didn't want Xyla to live well!
If these women didn't dare to say it out loud, Mary would!
The hacker Mary found this time was competent. Moreover, Linda's name would be used to spread the news. There was no way this could be linked to Mary.
Mary felt that she was way too smart!
'Xyla Quest, you're dead!' She thought.

After cleaning up, Xyla put on simple nude makeup. Later, she casually picked a champagne-colored halter dress in the closet. She also chose a white Hermes purse and a pair of white high heels... Her long, black, curly hair was casually let down, and her hair reached her waist. It made her look unusually gentle.
The contrasting low-key champagne color made her skin appear extraordinarily fair and smooth.
Xyla looked angelic and beautiful like this.
After making sure her makeup and outfit seemed fine through her reflection in the mirror, Xyla quickly shoved her phone, wallet, and makeup bag into her new purse. She then prepared to head out. Beep, beep, beep-
Right then, Xyla's phone started ringing.
Chapter 1192
Chapter 1192
A WeChat message from Sharon Lindt appeared on Xyla Quest's phone screen. "Xyla...! Did my son hand over everything to you?"
Xyla hadn't expected Sharon to find out about the news this quickly.
Xyla was suddenly a little restless.
She didn't know how Sharon would feel right now...
After all, this wasn't a small matter.
Immediately after that, Sharon sent over another message. "Hahahaha... This is fantastic, isn't it?"
When Xyla saw this message, her anxious heart instantly relaxed.
Xyla immediately opened WeChat and replied to Sharon. "Aren't you mad?"
"Why would I be mad? We've already handed over the company to him. That belongs to him. Shouldn't he be able to give it to whomever he wants? Besides, it's not a loss for it to be given to you, is it? You're one of us," Sharon said.
Her words once again touched Xyla deeply.
At this moment, Xyla's eyes filled with tears without her realizing it.
"Do you really think like this? Aren't you worried?" Xyla asked.
"D*rn... Why should I be worried?" Sharon asked.
Beep, beep, beep-
Right then, Sharon gave Xyla a video call.
Xyla immediately answered the call.
In the next second, Sharon's smiling face appeared before Xyla.
Meanwhile, Xyla's appearance also appeared in the right corner of the tiny screen.
Right then, Sharon was carefully applying makeup setting powder onto her face with a makeup sponge.
"Speaking of this... Stan wasn't the one who told me about it..." Sharon started.
"Who did it?" Xyla asked.
"Somebody published it on Weibo. I saw it..." Sharon said.
"Who published it? Xyla asked.
"I don't know. It's someone by the name of Aileen... She said she heard it from a lawyer from Dragon Group. I think I must find out who exactly this lawyer is. After that, I'll get Stan to fire him directly. "This person can't keep his mouth shut. Thankfully, this isn't anything major. If he found out about anything significant and spread the news, what would we do?" Sharon said sternly.
Xyla also agreed with the things Sharon said.
As a lawyer in the company, the most basic requirement was to be able to keep secrets.
However, this person couldn't keep any secrets. A place like Dragon Group wasn't compatible for him at all.
After saying that, Sharon frowned a little. "However, Stan didn't do things the right way... He had actually kept this a secret from us before doing it.
"Earlier, when I asked Stan why he kept this from us, he said he was afraid we would object to it. D*rn... Do we seem like that kind of person?" The more Sharon said, the deeper the frown on her face became. Every word and sentence Xyla heard made her feel extremely happy.
How was it like to be adored by a group of people?
The way Xyla was being treated now was probably it.
Xyla's smile gradually widened, and there was a thankful look in her eyes. "Mom, I feel so thankful for the love I receive from your family..."
"Don't be so courteous. You've got to work, haven't you? I shan't bother you. Come over for dinner tonight. Don't you like king crabs? I have asked my friend to order the highest-quality king crabs from overseas. The order should be arriving today. I'll cook them for you tonight," Sharon said.

Chapter 1193
"Hmm, okay." Xyla Quest felt warmth in her heart once again.
She felt like she was the most adored person in the entire Batton family.
They were awfully protective of her, and they treated her very affectionately.
Sometimes, Xyla even felt that her life was even more magical than children's fairy tales.
"Well then, goodbye, my dearest daughter-in-law," Sharon Lindt said before hanging up.
Xyla held her phone and logged in to Weibo to look at the stuff Sharon mentioned. Meanwhile, she looked down and started walking down the stairs...
After logging into Weibo, she saw Stanley Batton and her name on the list of hot topics before she even searched for it. '#Stanley Batton offers Xyla Quest all of his assets#'... Xyla instantly tapped on this topic to have a look...
At the very top, the name of the person Sharon mentioned, Aileen, appeared. Everything she said was exactly as Sharon described.
Aileen's Weibo post was published an hour ago.
Now, the shares, likes, and comments had already exceeded ten million.
There were all sorts of comments in the comment section.
"What? Stanley Batton is basically saying that he'll torture all of you single folks with a single act of affection every day."
"Hehehe. This only applies to other people's husbands. My husband earns five thousand dollars a month, and we even split the bills evenly."
"I'm the same as the person who commented above. My husband earns ten thousand dollars a month, and he never gives me any money. Sigh..."
"Sob sob. I'm willing to trade fifty years of my life for someone like Stanley Batton... However, wouldn't Stanley's parents be mad at him for doing this?"
"Why do I feel that Xyla would be in trouble? No matter how good her parents-in-law are, they definitely wouldn't accept this. Perhaps, they might even stop liking her because of this matter."
"I also think Xyla is in trouble... Stanley's parents definitely won't accept this method. When the time comes, Xyla will naturally be the target of their animosity."
From the comments that came into view, some expressed envy toward their relationship, while others were worried about Xyla's future.
To be honest, Xyla wanted to tell these people not to be so worried.
However, it was just a thought.
After simply browsing through, Xyla exited from the topic.
Right then, Xyla saw that Dragon Group had shared a post on her page. "I also think Xyla is in trouble... Stanley's parents definitely won't accept this method. When the time comes, Xyla will naturally be the target of their animosity."
Moreover, there was a caption that came with it. "I, Xyla's mother-in-law, don't think my son has done anything wrong at all. My husband thinks the same."
Meanwhile, there were also a significant number of shares, likes, and comments under this post!
Within a second, the number of shares, likes, and comments had exceeded a million.
Netizens were all screaming in exasperation in the comment section.
"Ahh... I feel so embarrassed. At first, I even did a lot of careful analysis, and I said you'd hate Xyla because of this." "What kind of divine mother-in-law are you? Are you Xyla's mother-in-law? Or are you Stanley pretending to be her?"
"Ahh! Apart from screaming out loud, what else can I do? You're undoubtedly the best mother-in-law in Country Z."
"I'd like to ask you, what exactly about Xyla are you attracted to? Why are you so good to Xyla?" Below this comment, Xyla saw Sharon replying with Dragon Group's account. "Because she's pretty, she's talented, and I'm her young female fan."
Everyone was speechless.
When Xyla saw all of this, she couldn't help but smile gently again.
Beep, beep, beep-
Right then, Xyla's phone started ringing once again.
When she saw the contents on her phone screen, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.
Chapter 1194
Chapter 1194
"A luxury car that costs up to a hundred million is completely destroyed at the scene of an accident..."
This message appeared on Xyla Quest's phone screen.
When she saw this, she immediately tapped on it.
There were images of Henry Armstrong covered in blood while two traffic police officers helped him out of a limited-edition GTO-250 sports car that had already been severely dented and crushed in the front. Henry seemed to be in an awful state...
As soon as Xyla saw Henry's face, her face turned pale. Her eyes filled with shock, and her heart grew restless.
Shifting her gaze downward, she found out from the editor about the cause of this car accident.
A red Audi caused it on the opposite side of the Ferrari that exceeded the speed limit and ran a red light.
Meanwhile, the traffic light happened to turn green on the Ferrari's side. Hence, the Ferrari's driver subconsciously began to drive forward...
After that, the Ferrari couldn't dodge in time and knocked into the Audi...
Xyla immediately called Henry on the phone to ask how he was doing.
However, Henry didn't pick up.
After a few attempts, he still didn't pick up. Hence, Xyla thought of Stanley Batton.....
She instantly ran down the stairs to have a look in the kitchen and dining room. Only then did she discover that Stanley wasn't around.
There was a glass of milk, a sandwich, and a sunny-side-up egg on the dining table.
Ignoring the food on the table, Xyla quickly got into her red Maserati. After that, she dialed 119...
She asked about where the person involved in the car accident was sent to.
After finding out that Henry had been sent to the municipal hospital, she instantly called Stanley and Georgie Clementine on the phone to inform them about it. Finally, she quickly put her phone away and stepped on the gas pedal, heading in the direction of the municipal hospital.
These days, Xyla had been on very good terms with all three best buddies of Stanley.
She didn't want anything bad to happen to any of them!
Now, they were also like best buddies to her...
***
On the other side, in the office of X Entertainment's CEO, Georgie appeared lost after the call ended.
Her heart ached so much that she felt as if she were about to die.
At this moment, she finally realized that she cared about Henry more than she'd imagined.
In fact, she didn't even dare to think what she would do if something terrible were to really happen to Henry.
Xyla told her that Henry was covered in blood from head to toe....
Moreover, his car was completely destroyed in the crash.
In that case, his condition was certainly horrible... It was very bad...
During the years Georgie worked in the entertainment industry, she'd seen all sorts of things and gone through all kinds of challenges.
She had always thought that nothing could make her feel lost again.
However, now, she was panicking because of Henry.
She immediately dropped all the work at hand. After grabbing her Maserati's keys, she quickly made her way downstairs.
She took her elevator and made her way to the main entrance.
After that, Georgie got into her white Maserati and rushed to the municipal hospital as if her life counted on it.
At this moment, she only had one thought in her mind, and that was her hope for Henry not to die!
Throughout the journey, traffic police officers chased after all...
The sound of her engine, combined with the sirens of police cars, attracted an infinite amount of attention. However, Georgie couldn't care less. She continued to speed forward.
Chapter 1195
Chapter 1195
Soon, Georgie Clementine arrived at the municipal hospital in her car...
After arriving, she quickly stopped her car.
Right then, Xyla Quest sent her a WeChat message to inform her about Henry Armstrong's current location.
Georgie immediately started running.
Six traffic police officers also started running after her once they'd parked their cars...
After running into the hospital building, Georgie ignored everything else and charged into the elevator. She directly rushed to the emergency unit. When the six traffic police officers arrived in front of the elevator, the doors happened to close on them...
They instantly let out a long, helpless sigh before walking over to the staircase nearby.
Soon, Georgie arrived in front of the VIP emergency unit's door.
By then, Stanley Batton, Xyla, Sebastian Brenand, Gary Lakes, and Rachel Wood were sitting outside the emergency unit on a spotless bench.
At this moment, Georgie's strength had already been completely drained.
When Georgie saw the tightly shut door, she instantly felt weak in the legs. Her pupils dilated so much that they seemed to lose focus.
Seeing Georgie in such a state, Xyla quickly stepped forward and carefully helped her sit down next to her. After that, Xyla gently rubbed Georgie's back as she comforted her. "He should be fine. I believe Henry is a fortunate person," Xyla said.
Apart from Xyla, who knew Georgie very well, the others were shocked when they saw Georgie's current state.
However, everyone didn't say a word. Instead, they looked down and waited for news about Henry.
The hallway felt extremely cold...
It was as if the air would soon turn into ice.
Georgie nodded, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she silently leaned back into the chair and closed her eyes to pray for Henry.
Right then, six traffic police officers ran over as they gasped for air.
When they saw Georgie, their facial expression instantly turned cold. They directly walked up to her.
The bald traffic police officer, who led the group, was about to ask Georgie a question when he caught sight of Stanley's cold face. He immediately fell silent.
Right after that, the traffic police officers carefully looked at the other faces of the people around them.
Although they didn't recognize the rest, they could recognize Xyla and Stanley.
At this moment, the bald traffic police officer was completely silent...
Meanwhile, the other traffic police officers around him were also silent.
After everyone looked at each other, the bald traffic police officer's aggressive appearance disappeared when he turned to face Georgie. "Young lady, please be careful when you drive in the future," he said. Georgie nodded a little. "Alright, I know..." She responded politely.
As soon as she finished speaking, the traffic police officers looked at each other. After that, they all ran away together.
When Xyla, Georgie, Sebastian, Gary, and Rachel witnessed this scene, their eyes were all filled with confusion.
Stanley was the only one who looked at the time on his phone the entire time. He didn't display any unnecessary expressions upon his face.
Although he was clearly in a group of people, it seemed as if he was surrounded by an ice-cold barrier that separated him from everyone else.
It was as if, apart from Xyla, nobody else could walk through his barrier.
Right then, the door of the emergency unit opened.
Henry's primary doctor, Durand Sonner, walked out...
When everyone saw this, they instantly stood up at the same time and looked at him.
Durand walked to the center of the group with a sullen expression. After that, he let out a long sigh.
When Georgie saw him like this, her heart immediately rose to her throat.
She suddenly had a horrible feeling.
After taking a deep breath, Georgie carefully looked at Duran. "How did it go? Is he alright?"
Duran let out another long sigh. After that, he slowly removed his face mask and looked at everyone-
Chapter 1196
Chapter 1196
At this moment, everyone's eyes were filled with concern.
"He... He was severely injured, and he won't live for long... He wants to see Georgie Clementine now..." Durand Sonner said.
"Who among you is Georgie Clementine?" He asked.
After that, he let out another long sigh as he repeatedly looked from one face to the other.
When everyone heard this, their facial expressions froze.
Georgie Clementine even felt as if her heart had been torn out of her chest.
At this moment, all the memories of the time she and Henry Armstrong spent together suddenly flooded into her mind like a tsunami.
The first time Georgie saw him in the bar when she was with Xyla Quest...
Georgie saw him shining brightly. He was in high spirits and was hugging everyone around him.
After that, when the two of them met again, he took the initiative to ask for her WeChat account...
Later, Henry became her loyal devotee, and he tried everything to please her. In fact, he even booked the advertisement screen across her company's building to confess to her...
Afterward, Henry had bugged her every day to have dinner with her. He tried whatever he could think of to please her and make her happy.
Every memory of the past was torturing her so badly that her heart shuddered.
Although Henry used to be a womanizer, he'd changed for the better ever since he met her.
Just as Xyla had said, he really did change.
At first, Georgie wanted to accept him. However, it seemed that he couldn't wait for that day anymore.
If Georgie had known this would happen, she would have agreed to be with him earlier. She wouldn't have wanted to keep testing him.
In the past, she always felt that there would always be more time in the future. There was no reason to rush.
But now, she finally realized that, sometimes, there wouldn't be a future.
One never knew if an accident would happen before tomorrow...
After taking a deep breath, Georgie ignored everything else and rushed into the emergency unit.
Right then, Henry was lying down on the operating table.
He had been changed into a clean, blue-and-white-striped patient's robe. There was a dazzling, shadowless lamp above his head.
His forehead and right cheekbones were covered with bandages. The light happened to be hitting his face, and it made his skin appear unusually pale.
Six nurses stood next to him on standby. Everybody didn't even dare to make a sound, and their faces all seemed solemn.
At this moment, Georgie felt as if she had already heard the arrival of the god of death...
In fact, she felt that Henry might die in the next second...
When Georgie thought of this, she quickly stepped forward and gently held Henry's hand...
As soon as she held her hand, her tears started flowing down her face like beads from a torn string.
Drip, drip...
Her tears fell on the back of Henry's hand and wrist.
However, he didn't react at all.
At this moment, Georgie felt like her heart was being cut open....
"Henry... Won't you look at me... Listen to me. I will not permit you to die. Do you hear me?
"As long as you wake up, I'll do anything you ask me to. Alright?
"I regret it now. I regret not agreeing to be with you sooner...
"If I had agreed earlier, there wouldn't be so many feelings of remorse between the two of us...
"Henry Armstrong... Can you hear me? Wake up... Hmm? Don't you love me? Didn't you say you'd do anything for me?
"In that case, why don't you wake up for me..." Georgie became all choked up as she spoke.
However, Henry still didn't react at all.
When the nurses nearby heard these things, their eyes were uncontrollably filled with tears.
However, Georgie didn't want to give up. "Can you hear me?" She continued to stutter.
Chapter 1197
Chapter 1197
"Henry Armstrong... As long as you open your eyes now, I'll even agree to marry you right away if that's what you want." Georgie Clementine was panicking badly. She blurted everything she felt at that moment.
"To be honest... I think I've fallen for you since a long time ago...
"Honestly, I want to be with you too...
"If you wake up, we'll be together. Okay?" The more Georgie said, the harder she cried.
In the end, tears completely blurred her vision. Even Henry Armstrong's face began to turn blurry.
The more she said, the more her heart ached.
Georgie really was terrified...
She completely had no idea what she should do.
By the end of her speech, she directly climbed onto Henry's body and hugged him tightly.
Perhaps, this was human nature.
Only when one knew something was about to be lost would they start appreciating it.
"Ahem... Ahem...
"Say, honey, are you trying to squish me to death...
"Ahh... It hurts so much... Ouch..." Right then, Henry couldn't keep pretending anymore. He opened his eyes and complained to Georgie with a smile on his face.
When Georgie heard his voice, she quickly let go of him...
The moment she saw his smiling face, she understood what was happening!
Was this fellow trying to scare her?
Georgie suddenly felt a little angry.
Seeing how Georgie's face was covered in tears and her eyes filled with rage, Henry found her extremely adorable at this moment.
Henry continued to smile at her as he gently rubbed his chest that was hurting badly. "The steering wheel knocked my chest, and it was already hurting terribly... When you pressed against me, I was about to go mad..." He said.
"To be honest, I'm fine... I have some cuts on many parts of my body from the car's broken glass..." Henry continued to speak. He couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.
Back when the car accident happened, Henry kept thinking why he was so unlucky. He had only driven the car for the first day, and it was already destroyed.
But now, Henry suddenly felt that his involvement in a car accident wasn't unlucky at all. In fact, it was a great fortune.
If it hadn't been for the accident, and he hadn't come up with the idea to trick Georgie, how could Georgie possibly say all these truthful things? In fact, she even promised to be with him as long as he woke up. Now that Henry thought about it, this car accident was marvelous!
Suddenly, Henry began to feel a little respect toward his intelligence.
Earlier, he had overheard Georgie speaking outside. That was why he thought of this idea.
After that, he directly cooperated with the doctor and nurses to put on this show.
However, by then, Georgie was extremely furious.
She instantly frowned unhappily. "Henry Armstrong! Do you think this is f*cking funny?" she yelled.
Apart from being upset, she was also happy that Henry hadn't died from this severe accident...
Henry chuckled as he continued to rub his chest. "Hehe... Honey, I was wrong... Please forgive me," he said.
"I'll never forgive you! I'm going to ignore you now!" Georgie said.
Henry laughed sheepishly. "About what you said earlier... Was it all true?" he asked.
When Henry asked Georgie about this, her heart suddenly started to beat wildly.\
Chapter 1198
Chapter 1198
Although Georgie Clementine did say those things, she was still angry at Henry Armstrong now and didn't want to answer him.
Earlier, she was honestly terrified for his sake!
Up until now, Georgie still couldn't wholly recollect herself from the fear of losing him.
Henry had crossed the line!
When Henry saw her reaction, he immediately extended an arm and directly pulled Georgie onto his body.
When Georgie's body forcefully fell against him, Henry instantly felt a sharp pain in his chest.
"Ouch-" Henry subconsciously uttered. After that, he wrapped one hand around Georgie's waist and tried to ignore the pain. "Anyway, I don't care... You are now officially my girlfriend...
"You can't regret your decision. Otherwise, I'll..." Henry trailed off.
"You'll what?" Georgie struggled to get up. "Didn't your chest get knocked by the steering wheel? Why are you still pressing me against you like this? Let go..." She said.
However, Henry continued to hold her tightly. He wasn't allowing her to get up.
Due to Georgie's awareness that Henry was injured all over his body, she was worried that he might be in even more pain if she struggled too hard. Hence, she didn't even dare to use a lot of force when she struggled.
However, Henry still wouldn't let go. "I'll kiss you until you change your mind," he said.
His words were like a gentle breeze that unintentionally caused endless ripples in her heart. Georgie instantly blushed.
The nurses around them couldn't bear this display of affection.
They immediately left the emergency unit.
Right then, the two of them were the only people left in the large space.
With nobody else around, it was extremely quiet, and a sense of affection filled the air.
Georgie struggled to get up again, but Henry still resisted the pain and continued to hug her tightly...
Georgie knew how much pain he must have been in without even needing to think about it.
"Let go of me. Do you hear me? Are you not afraid of the pain?" she said helplessly right away.
"Are you worried about me?" Henry chuckled.
Georgie remained silent.
"If you don't answer me, I won't let go..." Henry said.
"
Feeling helpless, Georgie had no choice but to answer him. "Fine... I am worried about you. Can you let go of me now? Can you not torture yourself like this, Henry?"
However, Henry wanted more now that he had tasted some. “In that case, tell me. Are you my girlfriend or not? If you don't answer me, I still won't let go of you," he said. Due to Henry's current condition, as well as Georgie's reluctance to watch him suffer, she subconsciously nodded repeatedly. "Alright, alright... Yes, yes... Are you happy now?" Georgie couldn't stand this person.
Henry immediately smiled joyfully...
However, in the next second, Henry hugged Georgie even more tightly. He wished their bodies could become one.
Although it clearly hurt a lot, he still felt pleased.
"Hahaha... This is great. Georgie Clementine, you've finally said yes... This is awesome. Hahaha..." At this moment, Henry seemed like the happiest kid in the world. This was the happiest day in his entire life!
Georgie could also sense Henry's excitement...
Suddenly, a boundless feeling of joy spread from her heart.
Chapter 1199
Chapter 1199
All the feelings of anger and unhappiness vanished instantly.
Meanwhile, Georgie Clementine subconsciously began to smile joyfully.
However, when she thought about Henry Armstrong's injuries, she immediately regained her rationality. "Hurry up and let go of me... Do you want to kill yourself from the pain?" she ordered sternly.
"Let me hold you for a while..." Henry said. "Even if I die from the pain, it'll be worth it... I'd be willing to die if I get to hold a beautiful woman like you," he added.
Henry's breath repeatedly brushed against Georgie's earlobe.
At this moment, Georgie felt the blood in her body boiling. It was as if an endless stream of electric current had flowed into the deepest part of her heart.
Her entire heart felt numb.
"Hey... Let go of me..." Georgie ordered again.
"Henry, I have just agreed to be with you. Are you going to disobey me already? If you keep doing this, we should just break up." Left without a choice, she had to threaten him like this. Meanwhile, this was undoubtedly the most effective way to threaten Henry.
He immediately let go of Georgie like a terrified child.
Georgie, on the other hand, quickly stood up and looked at his face sternly. "Now, which part of you got injured? Xyla said your body was covered in blood when you got out of the car..."
Seeing how worried Georgie looked, Henry immediately felt warmth in his heart. His facial expression became unusually gentle. "Hmm... It's nothing. Just my stomach, my wrist, and my legs... There are cuts everywhere...
"But it's all just external injury. There's nothing serious..." Henry said consolingly.
Georgie's frown started to deepen. "I don't care. You're going to stay put and let your wounds heal for the time being. Don't go anywhere, okay?" She asked.
Henry nodded. "Yes, Ma'am... Can I make a tiny request?"
"Sure, go ahead..." Georgie said without hesitation.
Henry's smile widened. "While I wait for my wounds to heal, you must come and see me every night..." He said.
Georgie snapped her fingers decisively. "Deal. That won't be a problem."
When Henry heard this, he was overjoyed. "That's wonderful."
Seeing Henry like this made Georgie's heart feel warm again.
However, in the next second, a serious look returned to Henry's face. He clutched Georgie's hands tightly. "Honey, thank you for accepting me... Don't worry. I'll be good to you from now on. I promise I'll never cheat on you..." He said sincerely.
Georgie believed in his words now...
She nodded gently. "If you dare to cheat on me, I'll rip your balls off!" she warned.
"Stop saying that... I can already imagine it!" Henry said pitifully.
"Remember that, will you?" Georgie asked.
Henry nodded obediently. "Okay..."
Although Henry was someone of great stature, he felt inferior to Georgie for some reason.
In fact, he'd even feel like her little brother...
He guessed this was probably love...
In love, whoever took it seriously first would end up losing...
Meanwhile, he was undoubtedly the one who lost...
Henry was destined to be patient with and give in to Georgie for all the mistakes he'd made in his life.
Seeing how obedient Henry was behaving, Georgie instantly ruffled his hair satisfactorily. "Hmm, good boy... Now, what's going to happen to you? Are you going to head out or stay here?"
"The wounds on my body have already been tended to. Now, let's leave. However, I'd probably have to get some anti-inflammatory drip after I get out," Henry said.
When Georgie heard this, she instantly opened the door and walked out...
"Hey... Georgie..." Henry called out to her once again.
Chapter 1200
Chapter 1200
Georgie Clementine stopped walking and turned around to look at Henry Armstrong. Her eyes looked like a painting. "What's the matter?" she asked. Henry smiled. "Nothing. I just called you for fun... I wanted to see you one more time," he said.
Georgie ignored him. She rolled her eyes at him before closing the door and looking at the group of people outside the emergency unit.
Right then, Stanley Batton, Xyla Quest, Dr. Durand Sonner, and the others were all sitting on the long bench.
When Georgie thought about the prank Henry pulled off earlier, she felt embarrassed for him.
Hence, she immediately looked apologetically at everyone. "About that... I'm truly sorry. Earlier, Henry was..."
Xyla stood up with a smile and walked up to Georgie. Before Georgie could finish her sentence, Xyla chuckled and spoke. "We all know. Dr. Sonner had already explained everything to us. We understand... There's nothing to be embarrassed about."
"Sorry for making you guys worried. Henry really went too far," Georgie said with a helpless frown on her face.
However, Xyla shook her head nonchalantly. "This isn't a big deal..."
Sebastian Brenand looked at Georgie with interest. "How did it go? Did you agree to be with my buddy?" he asked.
Georgie's heart clenched, and she nodded carefully...
Suddenly, Xyla, Gary Lakes, Sebastian, and Rachel Wood were all smiling.
Meanwhile, although Stanley had a calm expression on his face, there was a glimmer in his eyes.
Henry's plan successfully surprised Xyla...
Xyla clutched Georige's hand tightly with a smile on her face. "My best wishes to you, Georgie. I hope the two of you can be together happily ever after." Georgie subconsciously began to smile. "Hmm, thank you, Xyla."
Xyla chuckled again...
"Ahh... Someone really didn't have it easy. After persisting for so long, he finally managed to get the woman of his dreams."
Gary, who had been silent all along, finally and casually said, "Indeed. He's probably insanely happy, isn't he?"
Durand chuckled. After that, he went into the emergency unit to personally wheel Henry out.
Although Henry's face seemed pale, he was smiling gleefully, and he seemed very energetic.
When Sebastian and Gary saw this, they instantly looked at each other and smiled.
After that, the two of them took the lead to walk up to Henry's bed...
"Say... You are something... Do you know that you nearly gave us a heart attack?" Sebastian asked.
"I'm telling you... You'll need to compensate us for the emotional damages, okay?" Gary said.
Right then, Henry was still feeling joyous. Hence, he immediately snapped his fingers when he heard what they said. "That won't be a problem at all. Once I get out of the hospital, I'll treat you both to meals for half a month. How's that?"
Sebastian nodded decisively. "You have said it yourself. I've made a note of it. If you change your mind, that makes you a dog."
Henry rolled his eyes. "When have I ever changed my mind on something I said?"
"Deal..." Sebastian smiled satisfactorily.
Henry ignored Sebastian. He reached out and naturally held Georgie's hand as he carefully rubbed it. "Honey... You must be exhausted, right?"
Although many people were there, Henry still displayed his affection for Georgie without care.
Georgie's heart instantly clenched. She quickly pulled away embarrassedly. "Grow up... Aren't you afraid that other people will laugh at you?" she said sternly.
Henry chuckled. "Who would laugh at me? Everyone's part of the gang here..."
With that, Henry reached out to touch Georgie's hand again. However, Georgie indeed didn't give him another opportunity to do so.
Just as his hand was about to touch Georgie, she decisively took a step back. She then directly slapped Henry on the back.
