Xyla Quest seemed very focused as she continued to examine Stanley Batton’s elbow professionally. Meanwhile, Stanley sat cooperatively, silently allowing her to examine him.

The light shining against her face from the outside made her appear even gentler. Despite the large coat that hung over her shoulders, she did not look any less attractive.

After repeatedly examining his elbow, Xyla looked up at Stanley.
