Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1343

"No... Did you know that those people were coming for me today?" Xyla Quest asked.

Georgie Clementine's eyes filled with shock when she heard this. "What? What do you mean?" After hearing what Xyla said, Georgie felt unusually afraid in hindsight.

Georgie didn't dare to imagine what would've happened to Xyla if she was slightly unluckier today. Would she have lost an arm or a limb like those people at the scene? Or would she have died?

The more Georgie thought about it, the more chills went down her spine.

"That helicopter was following me the entire time as it dropped bombs... If it wasn't coming for me, who was it coming for? Those people were all hurt because of me..." Xyla added.

After saying that, tears started silently rolling down her cheeks once again.

Xyla thought that she perhaps wouldn't be able to walk away from all this sadness for a long time...

The more Georgie heard about these, the more shocked and worried she felt...

All these emotions convoluted inside her made her entire body feel horrible. It felt as if she was sitting on a pillow filled with needles.

"What? Why did this happen?" Georgie had a look of disbelief in her eyes.

"I'm not sure..." Xyla shook her head.

There were many things that Georgie didn't know about. Xyla didn't want too many other people to replace out about these things either.

It wasn't because Xyla didn't trust them, but she simply wanted to make sure nothing was at risk. She didn't want the 'master' to replace out that he had exposed himself long ago when Emily Quest died. Xyla didn't want to alert her enemy...

"Have you offended anyone recently?" Georgie asked.

"I don't know..." Xyla shook her head.

Georgie let out another long sigh. After that, she looked at Xyla.

"To be honest, I know why you're feeling so awful. You think these people suffered because of you. You're feeling guilty on the inside...

"Honestly speaking, you don't have to feel like this. It's clearly the fault of the criminal that all those innocent people were harmed...

"That murderer killed those innocent people. It wasn't you...

"Don't be like this..." After saying that, Georgie pulled Xyla into her arms and gently patted Xyla's shoulders to comfort her. Stanley didn't say anything. Instead, he silently headed upstairs...

He wanted to give Georgie and Xyla the space to talk about the things they wanted to.

He wanted to allow Xyla to vent.

Two female best friends wouldn't enjoy their conversation if there were another man around. After Stanley had left, Xyla didn't speak. Instead, she silently leaned into Georgie's embrace.

It didn't matter if it was Georgie or Stanley.

Either of them made her feel safe in their arms...

Georgie didn't speak either. She silently hugged Xyla.

Like how one would console a kid, Georgie gently rubbed Xyla's back.

After a long while, Xyla finally calmed down.

Only then did she slowly push Georgie away and dried her tears. "Georgie... Thank you... For coming and being with me..."

However, Georgie shook her head. "It's what I ought to do, silly girl. Why are you thanking me?"

Xyla laughed bitterly.

It still wasn't convenient for her to tell Georgie about the 'master' in detail right now.

Xyla planned to explain everything in detail once she found out about this person's identity.

"Are you feeling better?" Georgie asked.
