“It really isn’t necessary. Trust me…” Stanley Batton added.
Seeing how confident Stanley seemed, Ron Batton immediately questioned him. “Are you sure you want to do this?”
Stanley nodded. “Yeah. Grandpa. Trust Xyla and me. If we’re not 100% confident, we won’t do this,” he said.
Ron thought deeply for a few seconds. “Alright then…” He said.
He knew Xyla Quest and Stanley’s personalities very well.
These two had always been very careful about matters like this.
For them to be this determined, they must have had their reasons.
Hence, Ron didn’t want to keep standing in their way.
Ron’s instincts told him that their visit to Yaksha must have meant they heard something from Yaksha. That was why their attitude changed so drastically.
However, since the two didn’t want to tell Ron about it, he didn’t plan to badger them for an answer.
“Do I really have nothing to be worried about?” Ron asked once again. He had a curious look in his eyes.
“Don’t worry… It’s really fine…” Stanley said.
“As long as I take the medicine, my genes can be modified. When the time comes, we’ll simply have to arrange for the bone marrow transplant…” He added.
Ron looked deeply at Stanley before nodding…
After that, Ron let out a long sigh. He retrieved a small, white porcelain bottle from his pocket before handing it over to Stanley. “Take it…”
With that, Ron didn’t say anything else. He left…
Meanwhile, Stanley opened the cap and poured out a single pill. He then put it in his mouth.
“How is it? What does it taste like? Do you feel anything after eating it?” Xyla asked carefully after seeing this.
As Xyla spoke, the pill melted in Stanley’s mouth.
A dense, sweet taste spread in his mouth…
