Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1483

After Stanley Batton left, Sharon Lindt once again held Xyla Quest's hand tightly. "Xyla, no matter how painful it gets, I'll be with you, alright? You're not alone," Sharon said. Xyla nodded repeatedly...

No matter how painful it was, Xyla felt unusually secure as long as the Batton family was around.

After approximately half an hour later, Stephen Harris came to give Xyla a nutritional drip.

Meanwhile, Xyla's retching also lessened significantly.

Sharon stayed in the house for a while before leaving...

After she left, the master bedroom became quiet and peaceful once more.

Stanley slowly walked back to the bed and sat next to Xyla. While looking at the back of her hand with a needle in it, Stanley felt his heart aching again.

Meanwhile, Stephen sat silently next to Stanley and Xyla. He was practically the third wheel.

After the nutritional drip was done, Xyla no longer felt nauseous.

Hence, she gradually fell asleep peacefully.

After seeing that Xyla had fallen asleep, Stanley walked to the study next door and started sorting through his work...

At around three o'clock in the morning, Stanley finally finished working and slowly switched off his computer. Then, he went to the bathroom in the other room to shower before returning to the master bedroom and getting into bed...

Xyla was sleeping soundly on the bed.

As soon as Stanley got into bed, Xyla reached over and wrapped her arms around him like an octopus.

With such a beautiful woman in his arms, Stanley's heart immediately started racing.

If she weren't pregnant, he would have...

But it was a unique period now. Stanley had no choice but to resist his urges.

After taking a deep breath, Stanley held Xyla tightly. After that, he suppressed his desires and fell asleep next to Xyla.

***

At seven o'clock in the morning, Stanley was woken up by an alarm. After that, he quickly turned it off before going to the bathroom next door to clean himself up.

Once he was done, he quickly entered the kitchen to start preparing breakfast for Xyla.

Due to Xyla's severe retching, she needed to eat lightly flavored food.

Stanley made a very simple breakfast.

The dishes included a bowl of bird's nest with rock sugar, a bowl of porridge, and a glass of grapefruit milk.

Xyla happened to wake up naturally by the time Stanley was done making breakfast...

When she opened her eyes, she felt nauseous again.

After retching for a moment, Xyla entered the bathroom and quickly cleaned herself up.

Once she was done, she walked out of the room without any makeup on.

As soon as she walked out the door, she bumped into someone tall.

Right after that, she could smell cologne with a light peppermint scent.

This scent was refreshing yet cold.

It relieved nausea in her body significantly.

When Xyla looked up, she saw Stanley's perfect jawline and his handsome face...

"How did you feel when you woke up in the morning?" Stanley asked as he held Xyla's face.

Xyla shook her head. "Not much... I still felt nauseous... But it's much better than the day before..."

Stanley let out a long sigh. After that, he pulled her into his arms. "I made something light for breakfast... Let's go down and eat..." Beep, beep, beep-

Right then, Xyla's phone suddenly started ringing.
