Xyla Quest's heart softened when she looked at the girl. She gently patted the girl's back and comforted her, "Don't worry, girl. She'll be fine."

The girl did not answer Xyla. She kept on crying with her head down. Uneasiness and fear were written all over her face.

"Let's take a seat over there while waiting for him." Following that statement, Xyla held the girl's hand and led her to the bench.

The girl sat down obediently as Xyla told her to though she still refused to reply to her.

Xyla understood that the girl needed some time to herself, so she decided to stop talking. She plopped down next to the girl, quietly accompanying her outside the emergency room.

The two remained silent for a long time before the girl finally opened her mouth. "Thank you so much," she blubbered.

"It's the least I can do," Xyla said.

"He'll be fine, right?" the girl asked.

"Yeah, he'll most probably be fine. Don't worry. I've learned medicines before. I know his condition," Xyla reassured her.

"Hopefully. Thanks for everything, miss. I honestly don't know what to do without you." The girl choked.

"I'm glad to help. Come on. Stop crying, hmm?" Xyla gently comforted her. She pulled out a piece of tissue from her bag and handed it to the girl.

"Thank you," the girl thanked Xyla politely again before taking the tissue from Xyla and wiping her tears and snots.

About ten minutes later, the door of the emergency room was pushed open.

The blonde, blue-eyed attending doctor, came out of the room.

When the girl saw the doctor, she immediately ran to him and asked in French, "How is he? Is he alright?"

The doctor nodded reassuringly as he answered, “Yes."

Upon hearing that, the girl's suspenseful heart finally found its peace.

The same was true for Xyla.

"Fortunately, you guys have sent him to the hospital in time. I'm afraid that the situation would be totally different if you guys were a minute later..." the doctor said again.

The girl immediately turned to Xyla when she heard that, her eyes brimming with excitement as she looked at Xyla. "He's safe now, thanks to you. Thank you so much for everything, miss. I honestly don't know what else to say other than 'thank you"."

"It's nothing. It's my pleasure. Alright, I'm going to leave first. The doctors and nurses will take care of him from now on. He'll be fine as long as he gets enough rest. Don't worry about him anymore, okay?" Xyla slowly got up from the bench as she spoke.

Hearing that, the girl immediately walked up to Xyla and clutched her hands. "Miss, what's your name?"

"Xyla Quest," Xyla replied.

"My name's Daisy Cox, and I'm seventeen. Can I have your WeChat so I can contact you in the future? I owe you big time."

"Nah, it's okay. I'm happy to help." Xyla waved casually. "Alright, I'm leaving."

She wanted to go back to the jewelry exhibition.

After the exhibition, she was going to give Stanley a surprise.

With that, she turned around and left without turning a hair.

It was almost evening in Country Y while Country X was still at noon.

Prison cell 404, Municipal Jail.

"Pfft... You and your mother are rubbish!"

Emily Quest was taking a nap in the cell before a cold, gravelly male voice awakened her. Her eyes snapped open instantaneously.

The first thing that came into her sight was a tall man wearing a black robe and a golden mask.

The golden mask had perfectly covered the man's face. Emily could not see his features at all.

Emily sprang from the bed as soon as she saw him. She knelt in front of him, her limbs trembling in fear. "I'm sorry... I'm a failure! I'm a loser!"

As she spoke, she subconsciously glanced around herself.

Sadly, there was no one else in the eerie prison cell except the two of them.

"I've given you everything you want from me. All I want you to do is to get rid of Xyla Quest. What on earth have you done? I'd better send you to hell," the man hissed coldly.
