Ch. 1951..1960

Chapter 1951 Chapter 1951 Xyla Quest was happy and excited about this as it meant she would be able to help countless leukemia patients in the future.

Nobody would have to go bankrupt because of treatment costs ever again.

While browsing, Xyla suddenly saw a new hot topic on the number one spot, '#The President talks about Resurrection Pill's ingredients#'.

Xyla instantly clicked on it, seeing a Weibo post the President had recently published- "The Resurrection Pill is made from various rare medicinal ingredients. Indeed, all the costs involved added up to five thousand.

"I once asked how much it was going to retail for, and Xyla told me she'd set it at the cost price so that everyone could afford it. She hoped nobody would suffer from leukemia ever again.

"On top of that, Quest Group can offer a full waiver for those who can't afford to fork out five thousand dollars by submitting documents to prove your financial situation."

The President's Weibo post was only published less than a minute ago, and there were already over three million forwards, likes, and comments.

Xyla had never seen such a viral post, and naturally, the comments started rolling in- "Xyla, you're a beautiful and kind person. I was being too narrow-minded before."

"Xyla is like an angel. I love her. From now on, I'm her fan. To show my support, I'll only use products made by the Quest family and the Batton family."

"I'm sorry for yelling at you before, Xyla. You are a kind person, unlike the other rich people."

"Wealthy people should contribute to society. Why are you people so impressed? Isn't that what she should be doing? For people like Xyla, money is just a number."

"To the hater above, you're nothing but a keyboard warrior. Get lost, will you? You should be ashamed of yourself."

"To the hater above, I advise you to leave on your own. Don't make me curse you and your family on this joyous day."

After briefly going through the comXyla realized her Weibo inbox s flooded with comments and private messages again However, she already knew what people were saying, so she closed the app.

She then called the person-in-charge from com est Group's p leaving instructions fo speed up the production of the Pills.

She also directed the company to enhance the verification process of buyers to prevent arbitrage trading by some who intentionally doit for the sake of profits.

After making the call, Xyla picked up a document and began reviewing it despite how exhausted she felt.

Right then, Sophie Kenwick walked into the office with a leather bag in one hand, then set it down on Xyla's desk.

"Xyla, here's some food Sharon made for you. She asked me to remind you to eat when you're hungry."

"Was this why she asked you to go to her in such a hurry?" Xyla asked.

Sophie nodded, making Xyla feel touched by the kind gesture.

Sharon Lindt had asked Sophie to head over to her house for something important earlier in the day.

Xyla thought it was something else, but it turned out to be nothing as urgent as she'd imagined.

"All right, I know," Xyla smiled.

"Xyla, do you know what I saw on my way here?" Sophie was gazing at her mysteriously.

Chapter 1952 Chapter 1952 "What?" Xyla Quest asked in curiosity.

"Stand up and look outside," Sophie Kenwick immediately said.

"What's happening outside? Have the protesters left?"

They should be gone by now since the whole matter was resolved.

Xyla had turned the situation around.

Sophie immediately shook her head. "I knew it. You've been busy at work, so you have no idea what's happening. Hurry up, come and see."

Xyla glanced at her in confusion before standing up to walk over to the French windows.

Looking down, she saw many people gathered downstairs, chanting something.

Xyla was too far away to determine what they were shouting, let alone make sense of their unsynchronized voices.

After paying close attention for a long while, she finally managed to pick up part of what they were saying- "Xyla is pretty and kind. Xyla, you're an angel. We're demons. Xyla, we're truly sorry."

They were saying the same things even though they were barely synchronized.

Xyla smiled as she listened, feeling entertained and curious by the chants.

'We're demons? What on earth is that?' Xyla grinned at the thought.

Sophie grabbed her by the arm. "Xyla, those who protested against you at first have all changed their minds. They all realized they were wrong, and they are apologizing to you right now. "They're still the same people, but their objective has changed," Sophie added.

As soon as she spoke, a large screen on the opposite building started displaying a huge poster of Xyla.

"Xyla is pretty and kind. Xyla, you're an angel. We're demons. Xyla, we're truly sorry." The words those people were shouting appeared below the poster.

After approximately ten seconds, the image on the large screen changed to another one of Xyla with the words, "I hope Xyla, our angel on earth, will live happily and peacefully for the rest of her life."

When Xyla saw the words, her heart exploded with warmth.

Advertising on such a large screen was expensive.

She didn't expect they would go to such lengths to apologize to her.

It was thoughtful of them, and it also felt genuine.

Xyla felt somewhat touched by the gesture.

The initial animosity she felt toward them because of their harassment had disappeared.

"Xyla," Sophie said, "these people are very thoughtful. They paid to advertise on that large screen outside. "Maybe they are trying to tell the world that they regret their behavior and how quickly their attitude changed?" She was holding onto Xyla's arm like a child with a look of excitement on her face as she looked at the screen. Xyla chuckled. Compared to Sophie, she was much calmer. "I guess so. Let's go."

After that, and She Xyla casually picked up a long, white down jacket.

held Sophie's hand Jacket.

her out of the office.

and led "Where are we going, Xyla? Are you going downstairs to respond to these people?" Sophie asked as she followed Xyla.

Xyla didn't respond but continued to lead Sophie forward.

Chapter 1953 Chapter 1953 Sophie Kenwick followed Xyla Quest forward obediently.

Wherever Xyla went, she would go.

Sophie looked up, seeing Xyla's pretty face from the side.

Even with the barest makeup and a simple down jacket, Xyla was ridiculously beautiful and looked like a white peony in full bloom.

She was noble and angelic, yet she also seemed unapproachable.

Sophie couldn't resist sighing and thinking, 'She's so pretty.' They took the elevator down to the first floor, where numerous employees had gathered in front of the main lobby's french windows.

When they saw Xyla, they instantly dispersed and disappeared within seconds...

She led Sophie to the door, remaining tight-lipped.

Outside, those people were still chanting along with the advertisement on the large screen.

From up close, the crowd seemed larger than what she saw from upstairs, making things seem more spectacular.

These people were deafening.

Right then, someone spotted Xyla and began to shout excitedly.

"Xyla is here!"

As soon as that person finished shouting, a large group approached Xyla and surrounded her, keeping a comfortable distance and careful not to push against her.

"Xyla, I'm my sorry, I was wrong. b just bought your medicine for en.shows t and she recovered n° "Xyla, I also bought your medicine My husband. He's recovered t for our savior. I shouldn't host yelled at you like that."

"Ahh, Xyla is even more beautiful in person."

"Xyla, are you out here to get rid of us or to accept our apology?"

"Xyla, we know we were wrong, and we're truly sorry."

"I feel so bad, Xyla."

The people around her were saying all sorts of things.

Their voices overlapped and Xyla a little. She had to pay confusention to hear what s e saying. Content belon All the spiteful comments had turned into endearing compliments within less than half an hour. Xyla smiled and peered at everyone, then placed her right index finger on her pink lips. "Shh." Suddenly, the chaotic scene became quiet and orderly.

Everyone fell silent and held their breath, all looking over at her and anticipating her speech.

"I acknowledged your apologies, and I can sense that you're genuinely sorry," Xyla began to speak. "Get out of the way!"

Before Xyla could finish her sentence, a woman's shrill voice could suddenly be heard.

Chapter 1954 Chapter 1954 Xyla Quest and the others looked toward where the sound had come from, but she could not see anything as there were too many people around her. Soon, people began stepping aside to make way for the woman.

A tearful, middle-aged woman, who stood at the end of the crowd, appeared before Xyla.

She recognized this woman as Maggie Carlton, a leukemia expert who once disparaged Xyla on Weibo.

Maggie had been less than kind in her comments about Xyla previously, calling her out for being a terrible capitalist and a liar.

She even said only fools would buy the Resurrection Pills and that whoever believed in Xyla would pay for their foolishness. Seeing how her demeanor had changed from being arrogant to humble in light of recent events made Xyla feel a little unnerved. Soon, Maggie quickly ran up to Xyla, falling to her knees directly in front of her before she could speak.

Xyla's eyes widened in surprise. "What are you doing?"

"Xyla, you are amazing! Can you be my mentor? I'm willing to devote my life to researching various complicated diseases as your protege. I'll do anything as long as you are willing to accept me as your student. I mean, anything at all.

"You're really amazing. I have to apologize for what I said previously. I'm such a fool, I really am.

"You know, after my mother took your pill, she was transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward. In fact, she will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow," Maggie said earnestly. There was a look of excitement in her eyes that she couldn't conceal even if she wanted to. Gone was the arrogant demeanor she sported previously when she looked down on Xyla. Instead, there was a sense of humility, sincerity, and remorse.

"Wasn't this the person who called everyone a fool if they believed in Xyla? What's the matter? Aren't you afraid of being a fool?"

"She's just like us. We're all ashamed of what we did."

People began debating among the crowd.

When Maggie heard what was said, she glanced angrily at the couple who had spoken. "Who are you to say that? You are here for the same reason I am, aren't you?" The two of them immediately snapped their mouths shut.

After that, Maggie sobered, returning her attention to Xyla respectfully. "What do you say? Can you forgive me and accept me as your pupil?

"I know you're like a deity in the medical field, and I'm sure you have many more hidden talents. Are you willing to teach me some of them?" Maggie had an eager look in her eyes. Xyla chuckled, shaking her head. "I'm sorry, but I'm not accepting any proteges, and honestly, I'm not that great, so don't think too highly of me."

The truly remarkable person was Yaksha, but he had forbidden her to bring anything up or divulge too much to outsiders.

"No, you are amazing and the most capable person in the medical field," Maggie continued to speak with an earnest look in her eyes.

She was practically Xyla's fanatic, as devoted as she was to do anything just to be her protege.

However, Xyla shook her head again. "You're overthinking. All right, get up. I'm not accepting any proteges. Also, I am not qualified to be your teacher as I am younger than you." Right after Xyla finished speaking, they could hear the roaring sound of countless sports cars, stealing her attention as she turned toward its direction.

From her partially obstructed viewpoint, she saw about two dozen sports cars heading toward the crowd.

However, Xyla was not particularly interested as she had seen plenty of luxury cars before.

She shifted her gaze back to Maggie and carefully helped her up. "I accept your apology as I understand you felt. If I were you, I'd have how thought the same way."

At this point, Maggie felt drawn to her again. In her eyes, Xyla was so kind that she didn't seem like an ordinary human being.

She was like an angel.

It made Maggie long to become her protege even more.

"I really want to learn from you, Miss Quest. Tell me, what can I do for you to accept me?" Maggie asked.

"I'll say this one more time. I'm not taking in anyone."

By then, the two dozen sports cars stopped behind the crowd, making them go wild- "Woah, there are so many sports เอเอช cars! These look like they cost over five million each. Isn't this impressive? Is there a car exhibition going on?" FindNovel.net sto "D*mn, what's going on? This is the first time I've seen so many sports cars."

"Is this a sports car exhibition? It is awesome!"

Apart from Xyla, these cars were the center of attention, with some younger ladies looking expectantly at the display.

They were eager to see the owners of these cars. Were they men or women?

If they were men, were they good-looking?

While everyone watched, the doors of the sports cars opened, and the occupants got out simultaneously.

They were all gorgeous and tall, standing at over five feet and eleven inches.

They almost looked like a fashion runway, the way they stood together.

Naturally, the young ladies were captivated— "Oh my god! They are all so handsome and unique in their own ways."

"Why are they here? I can't breathe!"

"Are they here to see Xyla?"

"I don't know, the blonde-haired guy just looked at me. I think I'm going to die."

While the others were excited, Xyla remained relatively calm.

Since she ran her own entertainment company, she was used to being around attractive men.

In addition to that, her husband was a superbly handsome man himself. Hence, she wasn't that impressed.

Xyla recognized these men as they were from wealthy families in the country.

Some of 5eir families were far the Quest family in of the upper-classed som but generally, they were all While everyone watched, these men walked up to Xyla.

She glanced at them indifferently and smiled. "Why are you all here?"

It appeared as if they had planned to gather there.

Were they also here to thank Xyla for the Resurrection Pills?

Chapter 1955 Chapter 1955 The tall, wealthy, and handsome men began speaking one after another— "Nice to meet you, Miss Quest. I'm the CEO of Stark Group. I'm here to thank you for curing my grandfather of his illness." "I'm the CEO of Woolson Group. Thank you for getting rid of my mother's illness."

"I'm-"

They began introducing themselves one after another, then thanking Xyla Quest for rescuing their family members.

By the time they finished, Xyla was holding multiple credit cards in her hands.

Chuckling when she saw the thick stack of credit cards, she returned them to each of them. "Please, I'll accept your gratitude in words, but money isn't necessary. I don't need it."

The men laughed, saying they would allow Quest Group to earn a larger share of profits if they worked as partners in the future. Some even said they would prioritize artistes from X Entertainment should their companies invest in films or television dramas. Xyla chuckled. "We'll discuss it next time."

The men were acting respectfully and submissively toward her, making the young ladies envious of what they were seeing. Who wouldn't want to be the center of attention in front of all these wealthy and attractive men?

Around them, everyone started talking among themselves— "I'm so envious of Xyla. Those tall, rich, and handsome men are surrounding her like her fans."

"It's only because Xyla is amazing, isn't it?"

"Isn't there a saying that attractive people tend to attract more attention?"

"Have you ever wondered how she ended up being so smart?” "I think God might have spent a little more time creating her. Her looks, intelligence, and character, everything about her is "Be a little more confident. I think you can replace 'might' with 'must'. God indeed spent a little more time on her."

"The thing is, she's not the only one who is perfect. She has an incredible husband and a more powerful support network behind her. There's no point in being envious when her fate has led her here."

The sound of everyone talking simultaneously made Xyla feel as if there was a buzzing sound in her ears.

She beamed at them, then her.

gaze to the men Tright, I'm heading work, so I won't be sending you off."

They instantly nodded respectfully, telling her they would be available whenever Xyla needed them.

She gazed at them calmly before turning around to leave.

Maggie Carlton, who wanted Xyla to be her mentor, promptly followed her.

However, the security guards stopped her in time and ensured that Xyla was isolated from the crowd.

The group of men reluctantly left once she was gone, unlike the rest of the crowd that had not dispersed just yet.

They were still talking among themselves- "The more you look at her, the better she seems. She's even prettier than an angel."

"If I were Stanley, I'd love her to bits and pieces too.” "There's a reason why Stanley is such a devoted husband."

"There's a reason why she managed to win over everyone in the Batton family."

"To show our appreciation, I think we should buy more of Quest Group's products in the future."

"We should also support the Dragon Group."

Xyla had left in a hurry and didn't hear what everyone behind her was saying.

Chapter 1955

Chapter 1956 Chapter 1956 After returning to her office, Xyla Quest saw a brand new article on Weibo.

It was related to Quest Group, X Entertainment, and Dragon Group's stock price.

After the Resurrection Pill was proven to be effective, its sales skyrocketed due to Xyla's favorable reputation in the country. Her positive image resulted in increased enthusiasm for all three companies' products, therefore driving up their stock prices. Xyla let out a long, satisfied sigh after seeing everything.

Although she was happy with the outcome, she didn't feel emotional on the inside since she was used to major incidents like this. Meanwhile, her office landline didn't stop ringing.

Her secretary informed her that numerous media companies wanted to interview her, but she turned all of them down.

She still had a bunch of work to sort out, and she didn't want to deal with those media companies.

Besides, the public had already accepted the Resurrection Pill. There was no need for her to utilize the media to expand its influence.

It had enough outreach for the time being.

As Xyla sat in front of her desk, she saw a WeChat message from Georgie Clementine regarding hot topics from around the world.

In the lists of hot topics from various countries, '#Xyla Quest's Resurrection Pill#' was on the top spot.

Not only that, but the Resurrection Pill also attracted the attention of the heads of state.

From Georgie's message, Xyla also saw that heads of state from various countries were commending the Resurrection Pill on Twitter. They also expressed willingness to purchase it at a high price for their respective country's citizens.

It seemed that the Resurrection Pill was becoming widely recognized and accepted by more and more people.

Xyla felt relieved that there would be an increasing number of people free of leukemia.

She was proud of her accomplishment.

After reading through everything, Xyla replied to Georgie with an adorable smiling emoji before getting back to work.

Although Xyla was relatively unaffected by the fuss, the internet was still abuzz with the Resurrection Pill.

Her name had become synonymous with saints around the world, with netizens around the globe showing gratitude to Xyla on Weibo.

Meanwhile, global icons, wealthy business people, and influential re celebrities within the country also forwarding Weibo posts to commend Xyla.

Inside an immaculate conference room the top floor of Dragonet Group, Stanley Batton sat on the main seat at the meeting table.

He was wearing a black suit, appearing elegant and untouchable.

A high-level executive was reporting the company's stock price situation to him.

"Mr. Batton, not only is Ms. Quest remarkable, but you are also very wise and forward-thinking.

"Our stock prices have been increasing rapidly."

As soon as Stanley heard his wife's name, his ice-cold demeanor softened.

He slowly peered up at the man. "Oh?"

The executive continued to speak. "Yes, Ms. Quest is incredible. How could d such a perfect woman exist in this world? You're fortunate to have her as your wife."

As Stanley listened, his expression became tender. "You're good with your words. Go on." That man began to speak excitedly. "Anyway, if anyone's perfect, I would say it's your wife." Anyone who caught sight of Stanley's reaction would feel envious of Xyla.

Chapter 1957 Chapter 1957 Where could one find a loving husband like Stanley Batton?

However, the executive soon realized he had said something inappropriate. "I'm sorry, that was inappropriate. I got too excited and said the wrong thing." "It's fine," Stanley replied.

The guy was speechless as Stanley was very tolerant today.

"All right, we're done for the day. Nobody needs to work overtime today," Stanley declared.

Everyone cheered internally.

Perhaps Xyla Quest could attain more accomplishments so that people would shower her with compliments, resulting in the staff being able to leave work on time daily. While everyone watched, Stanley took out his phone and dialed Xyla's number. "Honey, what are you up to?"

He sounded completely different from when he talked to other people.

However, everyone had gotten used to it.

They all exchanged glances before letting out a long sigh of relief.

"I'm working. What about you?" she asked.

"My meeting just ended, so I'm coming over to see you shortly," he replied.

"You'd better not. I bet many reporters would converge outside the building. Once they see you, they would start bugging you again," she warned.

"It doesn't matter."

He missed her, and he wanted to see her.

Besides, he happened to be free then, if for no other particular reason.

"All right then. Can you please get me a cup of strawberry-flavored milk tea on your way over?" Xyla asked.

"Okay, sure thing."

Zack Cassidy followed at a respectful distance behind Stanley.

He used to think that Xyla was very lucky to marry Stanley, but now, it seemed that Stanley was the lucky one.

What kind of divine woman was Xyla?

She was such a capable woman, and together, they were a match made in heaven as they were both unstoppable in their own rights. They were living the dream, so who wouldn't be jealous of them?

Zack definitely was.

Leaving his office, Stanley made his way to Quest Group with up to a hundred bodyguards.

By then, the crowd that was gathered in front of Quest Group's building had already dispersed leaving only a large group of reporters.

Security guards were doing their best to maintain order.

When Stanley's bodyguards saw them, they got out of their cars and split the group of reporters into two, clearing a path for him.

As the passenger door opened, Stanley stepped out of the car in his spotless black leather shoes, unfolding his long legs, tall physique with a perfect face to appea in front of everyone.

He exuded an air of cool aloofness with his perfect looks, akin to the brightest star in the sky.

It was not surprising that all the female reporters were captivated by him, falling instantly in love with him.

Stanley's facial expression remained cold and indifferent as he strode toward the entrance with the cup of strawberry-flavored milk tea Xyla wanted.

His eyes were fixed on the entrance, ignoring everybody else around him.

Chapter 1958 Chapter 1958 Stanley Batton seemed to be separated from the rest by an invisible barrier despite being surrounded by people.

When the reporters spotted him, they immediately launched a series of questions- "Mr. Batton, I have a question for you. How do you feel about your wife's recent accomplishment?"

"Mr. Batton, you must be ecstatic! Can I ask if Ms. Quest faced many difficulties in the process of creating this medicine?"

"Mr. Batton, can I ask if Ms. Quest decided on the cost price on her own or if you both decided on it together?"

"Mr. Batton, are you here to congratulate your wife on her success?"

"Mr. Batton, how do you feel about your wife driving up your company's stock price?"

Stanley halted in his tracks when he heard the last question.

Turning around slowly, he looked at the female reporter who asked the question.

She stood in front of the crowd with a hopeful look in her eyes.

The moment their eyes met, she was captivated by his gaze, her heart hammering in excitement.

Stanley Batton was looking at her.

The most handsome man was looking at her!

Was he going to answer her question?

He made a hasty approach toward her and elegantly grasped the microphone she was holding. "I think my wife is outstanding."

The female reporter froze when she heard this, her mind going blank as she lost her focus on his answer.

How could someone look so good?

Why was she feeling such intense emotions?

Stanley was capable of charming her pants off even by just standing there and uttering a few simple words.

"Mr. Batton, how do you feel right now?" a male reporter next to her asked.

Stanley then switched his attention to him. "I feel happy and proud to have married an outstanding wife like Xyla."

"Mr. Batton, do you drink milk tea?" The previously frazzled female reporter tried to regain her composure as she asked a completely unrelated question. "It's for my wife."

"You must have queued for a long time for it," the female reporter went on.

"Yeah, but Xyla likes milk tea. I didn't have much of a choice, right?" Stanley stated.

The reporter was speechless.

Stanley was the perfect husband!

Who wouldn't want to have him as their husband?

After that, Stanley handed the microphone back to her before resuming his walk inside the building.

Her hand trembled slightly when she accepted the microphone, knowing that he had touched it shortly before.

His presence lingered upon it.

She had to treasure it and keep it safely at home.

After he left, the reporters began talking among themselves— "Mr. Batton is a handsome and He's practically rolesband. He's plaet loving for the men of this generation."

"The most startling part is how loyal. he is. I've never heard about any gossip between him and another woman. It's always been about him and his wife."

"He can't help it, though. Xyla deserves his love. I'm a guy, and I would adore her too."

"I've got to write an article to tell the world about how amazing Mr. Batton is."

Stanley remained oblivious to what they were talking about.

He headed straight for the elevator upon entering the building.

When the two receptionists saw Stanley, they instantly bowed greeted him, becoming excitandet they as watched him leave.

Although he was a frequent visitor, they still couldn't remain calm whenever he came by.

After all, he was too good-looking.

Words weren't enough to describe how wonderful a man Stanley was.

He took the private elevator to Xyla's floor and walked into her office with the cup of milk tea in his hands.

Chapter 1959 Chapter 1959 At the time, Xyla Quest was still deeply engrossed in her paperwork.

Seeing Stanley Batton walk over, she instantly relaxed.

There was something magical about this man.

No matter how exhausted she felt, she always subconsciously relaxed whenever she saw him.

She joyfully approached him and grabbed his arm upon seeing her favorite strawberry-flavored milk tea in his hand. "This is from my favorite store."

Stanley affectionately rumpled her hair. "Yes."

"Did you have to queue for it?" Xyla asked.

"Yeah," he replied.

"Thank you, Honey."

At this moment, Xyla felt touched by his dedication to her.

Stanley poked a hole through the lid with a straw and handed the cup over to Xyla. "Drink."

She accepted the milk tea and took a sip.

It was very sweet.

She then reached for his hand and led him over to the couch before sitting down, leaning against him while she drank. "Did the reporters annoy you downstairs?"

"Hmm, it wasn't too bad," Stanley stated.

"Did you answer their questions?"

"Yeah, some of them," he replied vaguely.

"Oh, what did they ask?" she questioned.

"Nothing important."

Xyla felt a little stiff in her neck. She cocked her head sideways. "It's been such an exhausting day. My neck feels stiff."

Her entire neck and shoulders were stiff because she was hunched over, looking down as she worked.

"Turn around," he directed, prompting her to turn around obediently with a smile on her face.

She knew what he was going to do.

Stanley placed his hands on her shoulders, kneading using just the right amount of pressure and technique.

He was able to help Xyla relax almost instantly.

It was a highly enjoyable sensation.

She wanted to stay in this haven for the rest of her life.

"Have you seen the news?" she asked.

"Yeah, I have. The stock prices of all three companies are still on the rise."

"Yes, are you pleased about it?" Xyla asked.

"What do you think?"

"I think so," she answered.

"My wife is the best. However, we still have Yaksha to thank for this," he reminded her.

Xyla gently nodded. "Yeah. If he hadn't asked me not to reveal too much, I would have shared the credits."

"You couldn't help it. Since Yaksha wanted to keep a low profile, respect his decision,' Stanley said. Content belover.get She nodded again. "Yes, but all this glory belongs to him in the first place. He's the amazing one."

"But he doesn't enjoy all the attention," he told her.

"That's right."

"Let's visit him in a few days. We should us and his contributions to theet yhank him for what he world," Stanley added.

"I have thought of that, too, even if you hadn't said so, " Xyla said.

Xyla was grateful to Yaksha from the bottom of her heart.

Without him, she wouldn't be basking in all this glory.

Moreover, numerous people wouldn't have benefited from his medical discovery.

Xyla was genuinely impressed by him.

talented man, yet he still insistel.net talep was obviously a very live anonymously.

Chapter 1960 Chapter 1960 Yaksha lived far away from the hustle and bustle of city life. He was willing to spend his life on an island where no man frequented.

It wasn't something ordinary people could live with.

"What would you like for dinner?" Stanley Batton asked.

"I would love to have some of your homemade roasted pork ribs as well as sweet-and-sour fish fillet," Xyla Quest answered with a hopeful tone.

"Okay," he said softly.

Right then, Xyla's phone began ringing, prompting her to open her eyes to glance at her phone.

She hastily answered when she saw that the call was from Jeremy Quest. "Dad?"

"Xyla, will you come home for dinner? Betty wants to cook your favorite dishes for you," Jeremy said.

"Yeah, okay. Sure," she replied.

"I saw the news, Xyla. You really are outstanding. My daughter is the best," he declared, sounding excited as he spoke.

Even over the phone, Xyla could sense how proud he was of her.

She hung up after briefly chatting with her father, only to receive multiple phone calls from Sharon Lindt, Wilson Batton, Josh, and Annabeth Batton right after. They expressed similar thoughts to what Jeremy said, but Sharon was the most enthusiastic of them, acting like she was a fan of Xyla.

After chatting with each of them, Xyla finally put her phone down and shifted her attention to her husband.

Xyla turned around after sensing that the massage was almost done, holding his hands. "I've been showered with compliments all day long. I can barely breathe." "Yeah, I can see that," he said.

Xyla shook her head helplessly. "Let's have dinner at my father's tonight."

"Okay, as you wish."

"I'm not done with my work yet if you don't mind waiting for a while," Xyla said.

"Sure."

With that, she stood up to return to her desk to resume working.

Meanwhile, Stanley picked up the iPad on her desk and began to watch something on it.

After a while, Xyla's phone started buzzing with a new article_ "How could a loving husband like Stanley Batton exist?"

Xyla glanced at her husband in confusion before clicking on the news article to check it out.

There was a video clip inside.

She could tell from the background that it when Stanley was interviewnstairs head been recorded reporters earlier.

The video clip showed his answers to the reporters' questions, making her smile subconsciously as she watched.

Netizens were all expressing how envious they felt in the comment section- "I can't imagine why a person of his stature would willingly queue for a cup of milk tea for a girl."
