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…
