Ch. 2341..2350

Chapter 2341 Chapter 2341 Sebastian Brenand felt relieved when Rachel Wood woke up to his hand clasping hers tightly.

"How do you feel? Are you dizzy? Are you tired? Does your stomach still hurt?" he voiced several questions at once with a worried look.

Rachel felt touched by her husband's concern.

Someone once told her that she would see her partner's true colors once she became pregnant.

True enough, she remembered everything Sebastian did for her throughout her pregnancy up until now. His care and concern for her proved to be his utmost priority, that much was apparent to her. Even now, he remained by her side the entire time when everyone else attended to the baby after the birth.

Rachel was still more important to him between his wife and their daughter.

She couldn't help but tear up at the thought.

"What's the matter, hmm? Do you feel uncomfortable?" he asked in a frantic tone when he saw her tearing up, appearing a little restless. "Does it hurt? Tell me, Darling."

Without waiting for a reply, he directly addressed the doctor. "I think my wife isn't feeling too well. Please check on her quickly."

Rachel grinned at his overreaction and cast her eyes at her doctor. "Don't worry, Doctor. I'm fine."

Her gaze then shifted to her worried husband. "I haven't said anything, so how are you sure I'm not feeling well?" she said. "I'm fine, just feeling a little weak."

"Why did you cry then? You scared me," Sebastian replied with a long sigh. She made him panic with her reaction earlier.

"You are overreacting," she said with a smile. "I was emotional because I felt touched."

"Why is that?"

"I was moved by how well you treat me. I saw everything you did today. You are such a great husband, Sebastian," she praised with a smile.

"That's for sure, Ms. Wood. Mr.

Brenand is one hundred percent a great husband. He's the model husband of our generation. He was so worried when you passed out earlier," a nurse spoke up.

"He stayed by your side without even a glance at the baby. I remember thinking that he kept his eyes on you the entire time, apart from cutting the umbilical cord in the delivery room," she added as an afterthought.

The more she spoke, the more she felt envious of the new mother.

If God gave her such a good husband, not only would she be willing to give birth to his child, but she would even jump through hoops for him.

Rachel felt her heart grow warm at her words as she glanced at the nurse. "Yeah, I can see that."

"Honestly, what is the big deal? It's only my responsibility," Sebastian conveyed.

Rachel chuckled and then asked, "How is the baby? Is she healthy?"

She only caught a glimpse of her baby right after delivery before fainting from exhaustion. She.net got to know how her newborn daughter was doing.

She had already memorized her daughter's appearance despite only managing a fleeting look, recalling how tiny, skinny, and pink she was.

Her baby reminded her of a small bunny. She had seemed so pitifully frail and defenseless.

Rachel's heart melted the moment she saw her child.

She felt as if she could do anything for her baby.

Chapter 2342 Chapter 2342 Hearing that, the doctor immediately smiled. "Don't worry, Ms. Wood. All indicators show that she's a normal healthy baby."

Rachel Wood felt very happy at his reassurance. She'd never asked for much for her child. All she wanted was for her to be healthy.

"That is great to hear," she said, sounding pleased. "Can you carry my baby to me? I want to hold her for a while."

She had been waiting eagerly to hold her baby in her arms even though she was still physically weak.

Sebastian Brenand instantly shook his head at her request. "No way. Your body is still weak from the delivery. You shouldn't hold the baby. I could carry her for you to see if you'd like."

He proceeded to walk over to the baby, who had just fallen asleep peacefully after finishing her milk.

She was so small that her chest rose and fell with each shallow breath.

The way she clenched her fists tightly above her head was adorable.

It was the first time Sebastian had paid close attention to his child since she was born.

Seeing his newborn like that instantly put him in a much better mood as he gazed at her tenderly at that moment.

He reached out to carefully pick her up as if he was holding a priceless treasure.

A nurse standing nearby stepped closer to assist him out of fear that he might drop the child.

The new father's gentle gaze came with a hint of nervousness.

It wasn't his first attempt at handling a newborn baby, but he seemed anxiously stiff.

With some help, he managed to hold the baby comfortably in his arms as he slowly walked up to Rachel to sit beside her.

He then brought their daughter closer to his wife. "Can you see Our baby is sound asleep nowelet told her softly.

Rachel felt her heart swelling with pride as she gazed at her baby..

that moment, she wanted to get her world.

the best of everything in t envels.net She would give her child the best protection and let her grow up healthily like a princess.

She couldn't resist an urge to reach out and hold her as her motherly instincts took over.

Seeing that, her husband subconsciously evaded her outstretched hands. "I said no. You can do it tomorrow. You should rest now and we'll talk once you recover slightly."

"I really am fine," she assured him pleadingly. "Please, I'm begging you. Let me hold her. Just for a while. Please?"

Sebastian shook his head again. "I know how you feel, but you simply can't. Wait until your body gets better."

She wanted to insist, but she chose not to argue when she saw how determined he was. She nodded helplessly and gave up.

His gaze softened at her compliance. "Be a good girl, okay?"

She nodded again.

Chapter 2343 Chapter 2343 Sebastian Brenand felt as if he already had the world before him as he held his child and watched over the love of his life.

He would never trade them for the world even if someone made the offer. These two people before him were his entire world. He loved them more than anything and anyone else. Even the medical staff felt envious upon seeing how happy the family seemed.

None of them would've thought that Sebastian, who was a womanizer previously, could be loyal to a single woman someday.

He'd given up everything for Rachel Wood, bidding farewell to wealth and fame and then choosing to live a regular life instead. They truly admired his wife for being able to change the man and figured that she was no ordinary woman.

"Rachel?" he called out softly.

She smiled at him while gently caressing their baby's head. "Hmm?"

"I just wanted to thank you," he said solemnly. "Thank you for choosing to marry me while you're still young and beautiful.

"Thank you for giving me our wonderful daughter. Thank you for everything you've given me."

He spoke from the bottom of his heart.

His wife merely shrugged in nonchalance. "You don't have to thank me. Since we love each other, these are all things I'm supposed to do."

She inhaled deeply before adding, "Sebastian, I want to thank you for giving me the best kind of love. I haven't felt envious of anyone else ever since we got together."

Ever since she married him, all her fantasies of a good husband had come true. Hence, there was never a need to be envious of others anymore.

She'd no longer feel a sense of longing every time she saw intimate couples on TikTok or in real life because she knew Sebastian could offer her much more than those people.

He would give her anything those people gave their wives and even things they couldn't.

He rumpled her hair affectionately..

"As Said, these are what I'm to do since we '.net Their loving declarations spurred an array of comments from the nurses who spoke one after another.

"What have I done wrong to deserve watching this?"

"Mr. Brenand and Ms. Wood, you two seem so in love."

"Ms. Wood, we are envious of you. Your husband is every woman's ideal type of man."

"There's no point in being envious. You must first look as good as Ms. Wood."

"Oh, that's right. Forget it, then. I don't deserve a man like that."

Rachel scratched her head in an embarrassed manner at their comments, opting to address the two nurses who spoke last. "Don't say that. Everyone deserves a good partner and a fantastic relationship. I believe you will find the right guy.

"Also, young lady... you are a pretty lady, and you deserve a wonderful relationship," she added.

Her words made everyone feel moved and awed, finally understanding how a man like Sebastian could fall for Rachel.

What man could resist a kind and delicate woman like her?

Even women might fall for her.

"Ms. Wood, you are a kind and gentle soul."

Chapter 2344 Chapter 2344 "That's right. She's truly a kind and gentle soul. I couldn't agree more."

"You have a pleasant voice, and I like you a lot, Ms. Wood."

A couple of other nurses complimented her, making Rachel Wood feel even more self-conscious.

"Stop saying these things. I'm embarrassed now," she muttered, awkwardly scratching the back of her head once again.

***

The nurses watched over the baby and advised the new parents of several noteworthy points to follow.

Then they all filed out, leaving Rachel and Sebastian the only ones in the spacious ward.

"Shall we name our daughter Mandy Wood as we had previously agreed? What do you say?" he asked with a smile.

She nodded instantly. "Okay, sure. Let's go with that."

They had been debating over potential names for the longest time.

However, no matter how much they debated, they still preferred the name Mandy Wood if they had a daughter.

"So our daughter will be Mandy Wood from now on," he said as he looked excitedly at his wife.

"Yes, that sounds great," she nodded while gently caressing her daughter's cheek. "Cutie, you will be Mandy Wood from now on. Your father and I shall call you Mandy. What do you think?" Her voice was so delicate, it was as if it could melt everything away.

Mandy had already fallen asleep by then, so she could not hear her mother's soft-spoken words. She was sleeping soundly with her little lips pouting in a sweet smile.

Rachel was so mesmerized by the sight of that pure smile that it felt like that moment would forever be imprinted on her mind.

She was already in love with her.

She couldn't help but try to hug Mandy again at the thought, but her husband managed to dodge her hands again.

"Don't," he warned in a low voice. "I've told you that you need to rest. Why aren't you listening?"

"Oh, I just couldn't help myself," she sighed.

"Keep it together, okay?"

She nodded obediently but reached out to gently touch her little face again.

Mandy smelled like milk now, probably because she just drank et bottle a while ago. The milky scent filled the room, making it feebeven more peaceful.

Even the air felt much warmer, too.

"I'll share the good news with Stanley and the others, including et your parents. What do you think?" Sebastian asked with a smile.

She agreed with a nod.

He called to inform Stanley Batton and his parents-in-law about their baby's arrival at eight o'clock in the morning.

Everyone broke out into joyful smiles when they received the news.

At ten o'clock, Stanley brought Xyla Quest, Josh Batton, Annabeth Cates, Henry Armstrong, and Georgie Clementine to visit Rachel and their baby.

The ward had a lively atmosphere, with everyone gathered together.

In fact, with so many influential people appearing at the hospital, they attracted lots of attention.

Soon, everyone in the hospital was talking about them.

Chapter 2345 Chapter 2345 Multiple hospital staff pretended to have duties in the area just to catch a glimpse of the visitors in Rachel Wood's ward.

They kept walking back and forth around her door, but it was kept closed. There was no chance to even eavesdrop through the soundproofed door.

Hence, the staff who intentionally came to see Xyla Quest and the others left with disappointment.

Even so, they continued to discuss excitedly among themselves- "Oh my god! Stanley, Xyla, and Josh are all in Ms. Wood's ward. Our hospital is suddenly full of life."

"I was lucky enough to see Stanley and Josh at the entrance. They're both so handsome! Xyla is truly beautiful, too."

"Oh my god! I never would've dreamed of seeing my idol, Josh, in front of the hospital's entrance."

"I'm envious you managed to see Josh in person. I missed the opportunity. Hmmph!"

"I'd like to know how Xyla takes care of her skin. Why is her skin in such good condition?"

"Honestly, instead of being envious of the people who saw Josh, we might as well envy Rachel herself. She comes from an ordinary family but is married into a wealthy one. She even runs in the same circle as Josh and his friends. She sounds like a female protagonist in a novel!"

Rachel and the others in her ward were oblivious to these ongoing discussions, which originated from a small group of people in the hospital.

After that, it made it onto the list of hot topics after some medical staff published the posts on their social media accounts.

News regarding Josh Batton, Stanley Batton, and Xyla Quest showing up together at Municipal Hospital to visit their friend spread like wildfire, claiming the number one hot topic on Weibo.

The comment section came alive with numerous remarks- "Oh my god! I am so envious of the hospital staff who got to see Josh, Xyla, and Stanley in person!"

"I wonder who they are visiting. I envy that person. I want to be visited by them, too."

"Stop dreaming. There is no way ordinary folks like us could become part of their circle of friends. You don't have to be curious about their identity because you would never get close to them anyway "That person must be a rich and beautiful woman or a rich and handsome guy because they're.net such good friends. I'm truly envious of that person."

"I'd like to interview the person they visited. I want to find out how it feels like to be surrounded by a group of ultra-rich people."

"I bet that person doesn't feel anything in particular. After all, what you find unbelievable is probably typical to them. Well, you should know."

***

After visiting Rachel and Mandy Wood, Xyla and the others left the ward together, leaving Sebastian Brenand and his family alone.

The ward quietened down again after they left, a stark contrast to the noisy ambiance outside the hospital.

People who had found out about the news had gathered outside the hospital building to wait for Josh, Stanley, and Xyla.

The three of them were stunned by the huge crowd when they walked out of the building, but they brushed it off as it was nothing new. However, the crowd being there meant that they needed hospital security to escort their group to their helicopter with much difficulty. Once they embarked safely, Stanley directly operated the helicopter and hastily took off, prompting several reactions from the crowd- "Oh my god! Did you see that? Stanley even knows how to fly a helicopter!"

"The Batton men are all so talented! Ahh, I'm so envious of the women married to those men, especially Xyla."

"There's no point in being envious.

Some things depend on luck.

Women who are married to the men in the Batton family must be duckier than others."

Chapter 2346 Chapter 2346 "Isn't Stanley just so handsome? I think he's much more attractive than Josh."

"I always thought there wouldn't be a more handsome man than Josh, but I realized I was too ignorant after seeing Stanley."

"I wish I could become Xyla or Annabeth. These two women are so lucky."

As they spoke, their jealousy became more apparent.

Right then, each of them had looks of envy in their eyes.

Stanley Batton first dropped off Josh Batton and Annabeth Cates at their office with his helicopter before sending Henry Armstrong and Georgie Clementine home.

Finally, he flew Xyla Quest and himself to Quest Group, accompanying her into her office while she worked.

Stanley kept to himself throughout the day when she attended meetings. He would sit nearby with magazines, fiddle with his phone, and scroll through Weibo.

He would sometimes massage his wife's shoulders or play games on his phone whenever she sat at her desk to go through paperwork.

Being at work had always been a solemn atmosphere, but it felt more relaxing with his presence.

Xyla enjoyed this feeling. It made her feel as if the entire world was a wonderful place.

She continued working in her office until five o'clock in the evening with her husband right by her side.

He never uttered a single word throughout the day.

She gently rubbed her aching shoulders once she finished her work, and then directly stood up to walk over to him.

Her husband was playing Honor of Kings on his phone, right in the middle of a team fight where they had the upper handel.net His champion had leveled up sufficiently to dominate his opponents.

Yet, he instantly set his phone aside sitation when he saw her reaching out to pull her onto his lap.

"Are you done with work?" he asked with a pleased smile on his face.

Right then, the setting sun lit up the sky outside and her office lights were still off.

Rays of light streamed in through the windows, illuminating the room with a warm golden hue.

Here, Stanley seemed extremely gentle to her.

She leaned into his hug as she nodded. "Yes. Why did you stop playing? You would have won this round for sure."

As soon as she finished speaking, his champion was killed in the game during a team fight, prompting his teammates to yell at him.

She let out a bitter laugh. "Your teammates seem to be rather annnoyed about that."

"It's fine. Let them yell," he shrugged.

"How could you drag the entire team down like that?"

"I wanted to hug my wife properly. How do I do that if I stayed on my phone, hmm?" he replied.

Chapter 2347 Chapter 2347 "I feel sorry for your team," Xyla Quest stated, glancing at Stanley Batton's gameplay to see that they had already lost their advantage.

The rest of his team couldn't fight against five opponents without him, leaving only four of them playing actively.

They started cursing at him.

"Hey, dude! Are you crazy? What the hell?"

"What is the meaning of this? Hurry up and start moving, or else I'll report you."

"Could the opponents have sent him here?"

Xyla started getting annoyed by their criticisms.

"Your teammates are all yelling at you because they are about to lose," she said as she lifted her chin toward his phone.

Glancing at his screen, he picked it up leisurely. "Not exactly."

He began to play while keeping his hold on Xyla, ignoring the ongoing curses courtesy of his teammates.

"Hey, idiot! What are you doing?"

"You don't know how to play at all, do you?"

"You got lucky when you made those god-like moves, didn't you?"

As they spoke, Stanley made another error during a team fight and got himself killed instantly.

His teammates began yelling even more intensely- "You're horrible at this!"

"You're doing it again. Get lost if you can't play."

"I now believe that he only lucked out earlier when he played so well."

He completely ignored them with a look of indifference as he casually purchased some equipment before returning to continue the team fight.

By then, only two teammates remained alive, while the opponents still had their entire team intact.

The two teammates were escaping, but he chose to stay.

They exclaimed in surprise- "Are you truly crazy? Hurry up and run!"

"Run, dude!"

"Are you going back there to die?"

He merely kept his cool without showing any facial expression, and he directly chalet ies with his Aatrox.

Content Suddenly, a miracle happened.

Stanley had single-handedly brought all five of his opponents down to dangerously low health.

Seeing this development, his two teammates quickly aided him in killing the enemies.

His Aatrox was like an indestructible battle god with their cooperation, and together, he managed to kill five of his opponents in quick nov Succession.

The trio won against their five opponents.

The unbelievable outcome of the team fight caused much excitement among his team members- "D*mn! Boss, can I add you as my friend?"

"I'm sorry, Boss. It felt like I was watching a professional gamer just now when you were playing."

"Are you a professional gamer? I admire you so much. Let's add each other as friends. We can raise our score together."

"I feel deeply embarrassed by what I said earlier. I shouldn't have doubted your abilities."

He didn't reply to any of them despite their change of hearts.

Instead, he silently logged out.net Von of game before shifting his attention to his wife.

Xyla gently placed both hands on his shoulders. "Honey, you were amazing!"

Chapter 2347

Chapter 2348 Chapter 2348 "Really?" Stanley Batton asked.

Xyla Quest nodded. "Yeah, you were. You would've been hailed as the battle god if that happened during a professional match."

"Oh?"

"I'm serious," she insisted.

"But that wasn't a professional match. My opponents were all terrible," he stated as he made a face.

"How could there be terrible players at such high ranks?" she asked.

One of Stanley's teammates from the match sent him a friend request while they were speaking, and he accidentally clicked on the button to accept. Almost immediately, that person began to speak.

"Boss, are you interested in joining my team? I'm the manager in charge of Team IM's Honor of Kings section.

"How old are you this year? We can discuss wages by meeting up in person as long as you agree.

"Our club would never exploit our professional gamers."

Stanley smirked in amusement before replying to him. "I'm not interested."

However, the man didn't let that deter him from pestering a talented gamer.

"Don't say that. Why wouldn't you be interested? You can earn a lot of money from gaming, you know? You might even make up to ten million a year. "Most professional gamers earn several tens of millions per year. Don't you want to make this much money?

"Our club's owner, Henry Armstrong, is no ordinary businessman. He is very generous to our gamers.

"Not only does he offer a high salary, but he also pays out huge bonuses during festivities. These bonuses come at 100,000 at the very least," he added. However, his arguments failed to impress Stanley.

"I'm still not interested," he typed, feeling uncompelled by what most people deemed was a lucrative offer.

"Why?"

He stopped responding to the man altogether.

"Don't you want money?" the man asked, but he didn't get a reply.

Still, he wasn't about to give up. "How about this? Come for a trial session, and I'll start you off at fifteen million per annum if you perform well. Would that work? doubt would give up such a great offer."

Stanley directly blocked him to prove that he didn't care.

"You didn't have to block him. He seems rather earnest," Xyla voiced out instantly when she saw that.

"He'd just keep harassing me if I didn't," he replied.

“He's quite intriguing. Before, he was yelling at you for being a terrible player. And now he's trying to recruit you into his professional gaming team," she said, shaking her head helplessly.

He let out a chuckle before sweeping her up into his arms. "Come on, let's head home. Our kids are waiting for us."

At the mention of their children, their gazes softened.

Xyla, especially, wore a tender expression on her face.

"Yeah. We are out of the kids' favorite snacks. Let's stop by our favorite store to pick some up," she suggested. "As you wish."

Then, he carried her out of the office with her struggling in embarrassment once they made it out the door.

"Put me down!" she hissed under her breath. "This is so unbecoming. The staff hasn't left yet at this hour Stantey! There are people around us"

"There aren't many people on this floor, anyway. I'll let you go once we get into the elevator," he countered smoothly.

She cast a furtive look around and saw that he was right, so she allowed him to carry her into the elevator.

Once inside, he still refused to let go. He acted as if he was holding a priceless artifact.

Xyla gently wrapped her arms around his neck. "All right, put me down. We will be arriving soon." "Let's talk after the elevator stops."

"What happened to you letting me go after we got into the elevator?" she asked incredulously.

"I changed my mind. I simply can't let go," Stanley declared with a grin, leaving her speechless. At that moment, Xyla felt nothing but sweetness in her heart.

Chapter 2349 Chapter 2349 Suddenly, the lights went out in the elevator, plunging Stanley Batton and Xyla Quest into darkness.

It was pitch black.

She instantly tightened her arms around her husband's neck, feeling nervous.

"Oh no, I think there's a power disruption, but it shouldn't affect the elevators. The backup generator should automatically run in the event of a blackout," she said in confusion. "Don't be nervous. I'll try calling someone to check on it now," Stanley told her as he put her down slowly.

At that moment, the elevator suddenly plunged downwards, making them panic.

She grabbed for Stanley blindly and held on tightly while he hastily pressed against the wall behind him to find balance.

The elevator continued its rapid descent into further darkness.

An eerie feeling made the air feel stale.

Xyla felt goosebumps erupting all over her body. "What's going on? The elevator is out of control. Honey, what do we do? Are we going to die here?"

If the elevator kept descending at this rate, they would die with certainty.

"What on earth should we do?" she shrieked in fear.

"Don't panic and stand next to me. Do what I do. Press your hands against the walls, and use it to protect your spine," Stanley instructed calmly.

"Then bend your knees and brace for impact. It will reduce the severity of your injuries," he added, sounding much more grounded than Xyla's anxious tone.

She moved to stand beside him and did as instructed by pressing her back to the wall while keeping her knees bent.

They clasped each other's hands tightly in the darkness.

They had no idea what would happen next. Would the elevator drop to the last floor and shatter all their bones? Or would it stop somewhere in the middle by some miracle? They could only silently pray for it to stop.

Thoughts of their children and his parents came to mind, people they still needed to look after.

There were too many people in this world they would miss.

They couldn't just leave like that.

"Honey, I'm right here by your side, okay? Don't be afraid." His soothing voice reached her ears in the dark. "No matter what happens, we'll get through it together."

The elevator seemed to have sped up as he spoke. They were still falling.

At this rate, it couldn't possibly stop in the middle.

Xyla turned to look in his direction, her eyes searching for a glimpse of him in the darkness. "I'm so lucky to have met you in this lifetime, Honey. Thank you for giving me such a wonderful life.

"Truthfully, I have no regrets even if I die right now because I have everything I ever wanted. I just can't let our children go," she said in despair.

There were many things she wanted to say at that moment. She was afraid she might never get the chance if she didn't.

"If we die, your parents or Josh and the others will be able to take care of the kids, won't they? What do you think?

"Honey, I love you so much. I honestly do," she added.

Stanley held her hand tightly to reassure her "Don't think the worst, okay? We might turn out just fine. something bad happens, then it is simplyour fate. We'll be together even in death. I only feel bad for our children."

As soon as he had finished speaking, the elevator began to vibrate violently.

The entire world seemed to be shaking.

She subconsciously grabbed hold of his hand and maintained her posture.

The condition had worsened in the last few seconds, making them feel nervous and suffocated.

Soon, the vibration ended as abruptly as it had appeared, but the elevator was still falling downward, picking up speed.

There was nothing normal about the entire situation.

Chapter 2350 Chapter 2350 "Do you think there's something wrong with the elevator? Logically speaking, we should've reached the bottom by now. Why do you think we haven't yet?" Xyla Quest quickly raised her question. She couldn't help feeling frantic despite trying her best to calm herself down. Her heart could very well beat right out of her chest any second.

Stanley Batton frowned deeply in the dark. "Yeah, you're right. I think so, too."

"What do you think is going on?" she asked.

He shook his head helplessly and didn't say anything.

The elevator continued to drop, and it seemed to be heading downward in an endless pit.

It was as if there was no end to the descent.

Time passed very quickly.

Half an hour had passed unknowingly, but they were still moving downwards.

Xyla began to feel less nervous after a long while of being in perpetual fear.

Her eyes searched around in the darkness before turning toward her husband. "This is very strange. The elevator is still falling downward. We seem to be going down an endless pit.

"It doesn't seem to have an end. Why is this happening? Is this something paranormal?" she wondered out loud.

Stanley felt equally confused. "I don't know."

It was the first time he had encountered something like this in real life.

He only ever saw things like this in films or novels.

"Are we dreaming?" she asked suddenly.

If this was only a dream, Xyla wished she would wake up then. Everything felt so surreal.

She didn't dare to believe any of this was real.

She pinched her thigh at the thought, this with a sinking feeling t 64 was indeed real if the intense pain was any indication p It wasn't a dream.

It was so strange.

"Are we being haunted? Where is this elevator taking us?" she questioned.

With that, she promptly activated her penetrative vision to see the situation underneath her feet.

However, she realized her skill didn't work here. No matter how she tried, it was still pitch black as far as her eyes could see.

That made it even more bizarre. She had never encountered something like this before.

"Why is this happening? My penetrative vision doesn't work here.

I think there is something very odd about this. Are we being haunted?" she added. én.swnovels.net Xyla subconsciously leaned closer to Stanley, who was her only source of security under such circumstances.

He tightened his grip on her hand while awing his head. "Yes.

all anything like it." Content eve Another thirty minutes passed before the elevator finally stopped without crashing as they presumed.

They didn't get crushed into pieces, either.

They came to a steady halt just like a normal elevator.

That made Xyla and Stanley feel even spookier as they exchanged glances.

Ding.

The elevator doors suddenly opened.
