Sharon Lindt nodded.
“I’ll stay behind and check on Xyla’s wounds. You guys can leave first… I’ll stay over at Xyla’s tonight…” Ron Batton said.
“Alright.” Sharon nodded again.
Josh Batton took a step forward and looked at Xyla Quest gently. “Sister-in-law, take good care of yourself. It’s getting late. I shall not keep you awake any longer. I’ll come and visit you another day…”
Nobody knew why he wanted to come to see Xyla, but he didn’t want to mention it.
Josh wasn’t worthy of bringing it up either.
“Okay…” Xyla nodded.
Josh looked deeply at Xyla. After that, he took the lead by walking out…
Sharon and Wilson Batton quickly followed after him.
As Sharon walked out after Josh, she turned to look at Xyla. “Xyla… Please take care of yourself…”
Xyla nodded. After that, she left with them…
Ron didn’t follow the others. Instead, he let out a long sigh and silently sat on the couch.
After sending the others off, Xyla quickly returned to Ron’s side and sat down.
“This incident is way too similar to what happened during Dragon Group’s seventieth anniversary… I highly suspect that the ‘master’ is behind this… What do you think? You don’t have to hide the truth to avoid making me worry… I can handle it,” Ron said.
Xyla nodded gently. “Hmm, I suspect the same…”
“If it really is the same person, then he’s way too detestable!” Ron said.
