Sharon Lindt instantly hugged her husband tightly, both beginning to feel emotional.

"Anyone would forget things sometimes. It is not a big deal. It happens to me too," Sharon said.

"Really?" Wilson Batton asked.

"Yeah, it happens to me frequently, too, but I wouldn't suspect I had Alzheimer's."

He remained silent.

Although Sharon was trying her best to comfort him, he still wanted to replace time to get himself checked at the hospital.

If there was a problem, he wanted it diagnosed sooner so that he could start treatment sooner, too.

When Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton finished taking a bath, the two of them lay down on their large, white bed, her arms wrapped around Stanley.

Stanley recalled that they hadn't had sex for a while now. He began to feel restless on the inside.

However, he suppressed his urges when he thought of Xyla's condition.

Inhaling deeply, Stanley gently ruffled her hair and kissed her cheek. "You must be exhausted today. Let's get some rest, okay?"

Xyla blushed when she sensed his erection. "Okay, sure."

She then moved close to his ear. "Wait for a while longer. I've done some research. I still need some time, but once I'm ready, I'll-I'll give you a surprise," she whispered. "Okay."

Even if Stanley had been informed by research that she was ready for intimacy right then, he wouldn't do it.

Xyla needed to get proper rest now.

She could empathize with how he was feeling now, making her feel sad for him.

In the next second, she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. "I know it's been hard on you, Honey."

They used to have sex nearly every day in the past. Now, Stanley had abstained for a long while. Naturally, it was tough for him.

"I'm fine. As long as you're healthy, I'm fine with anything," he said.

Xyla felt deeply touched when she heard this.

"My parents will be staying here from now on. It's tough to avoid conflict altogether. If you're unhappy about anything, then tell me. Don't keep it to yourself, okay? I'll always speak up for you," he said

soothingly.

Stanley was unlike other men.

Most men would tell their wives to tolerate their parents. If there was anything their wives weren't happy with, they'd ask them to hold their tongues. After all, parents came first. However, Stanley was different.

He told Xyla not to keep things to herself. On the contrary, he even urged her to tell him everything so that he could speak up for her.

Although Xyla knew her in-laws wouldn't make her life difficult, she still felt moved in her heart.

She nodded. "Okay, but I'm not worried about this at all."

She didn't believe her in-laws would do anything awful to her.

"I'm not worried either, but better to be safe than sorry. I just wanted to tell you that. Also, if there's anything we haven't done well enough, you must let us know and not keep it to yourself.

"In this family, you're the most important person. You can vent your emotions if you need to, and you can cry whenever you want. You can do anything you want to do," he added with an affectionate look in his eyes.

Xyla appeared shocked when she heard this. "Why are you suddenly telling me all this?"
