On top of that, Emily Quest’s reputation had been completely ruined. Everyone in Country Z knew what kind of person she was, and she had put a blot on her image, a blot that would follow her for the rest of her life.
She was doomed to be criticized everywhere she went even if she regained her freedom.
“Suit yourself...I’ll support whatever decision you have made.” Georgie Clementine stroked her hair softly.
Knock knock knock... There was a knock on the door.
“Please come in.” Xyla responded.
Soon, the door opened and Stanley Batton entered the room with some warm water and medicine.
He placed the tray on the shelf beside the bed and got a painkiller as well as an anti-inflammatory pill from the bottles. He shoved the pills into Xyla’s mouth.
He then brought the cup of water to her lips.
Bitterness spreaded across her mouth. She quickly grabbed the cup from Stanley, drank a mouthful of water and swallowed the pills.
The bitterness was still spreading around as the pills traveled down her throat. She felt like her stomach was turning over.
Stanley took a peppermint candy out of his pocket slowly and put it into her mouth. “Have a candy.”
These were all some insignificant small gestures but they warmed her heart intensely.
“Thanks.” she smiled.
“Xyla, I’m a little worried now. What if Emily comes out and recovers afterwards? Will she target you again? Or even worse this time?” Fear flashed across Georgie’s eyes.
