Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1978

Georgie Clementine's mother must have seen the news or the hot topic on Weibo.

"Georgie, I've seen what happened on the news. Your boyfriend proposed, and you said yes!"

Her mother sounded joyful at the news. She was aware that her daughter was dating and what he did for a living.

She always hoped that the two of them would end up getting married. She simply didn't expect it to happen so soon. Admittedly, she had never met Henry Armstrong, but she had faith in her daughter's judgment.

The man Georgie fell in love with certainly had to be good enough for her.

Georgie never made her family worry about her. Since she was a child, all her decisions were wise and correct.

Most importantly, Henry's family background was better than they could ever hope for.

Georgie couldn't afford to let this opportunity slip by.

Georgie immediately chuckled upon hearing her mother's excited tone. "Yeah, I'll bring him home next time. But Mom, aren't you upset that I agreed to marry him without discussing with you first?"

She was somewhat surprised as she thought her mother would disagree since she had never brought Henry home to meet them and now, she was suddenly engaged.

However, to her surprise, her mother wasn't upset at all.

She was even supportive of it.

Georgie's mother chuckled. "Why would I be upset? Didn't you say yourself that he's a good guy, and you like him a lot? I trust your judgment. You've always made the right decisions since you were a kid." "Moreover, Henry is so much better than the men our neighbors introduced to you," her mother added.

Georgie laughed when she heard this. "In that case, I will definitely bring him home to see you soon."

"Okay, I'll be waiting. When are you coming home?"

"Let's see, perhaps in a day or two," Georgie replied.

"Okay, let me know before, and I'll whip something up."

"Okay, I will," Georgie felt her heart

do a happy dance. She stayed toet

chat with her mother for a while

before returning to the room where everyone had started to eat.

There was a joyful and peaceful ambiance in the room as the group chatted, with couples sitting together in pairs.

There was love in the air.

"Ugh-"

Georgie suddenly felt nauseous after taking a step forward.

'What's going on? Did I drink too much earlier? Am I drunk? Or did I eat too much steak?'

After noticing her reaction, Henry quickly stood up and approached her with a look of concern on his face. "What's the matter?"

Georgie started feeling nauseous again as she spoke.

"Ugh, I don't know. I feel nauseous all of a sudden."

Soon, Georgie began retching.

Covering her mouth, she ran into the bathroom, kneeling in front of the toilet bowl.

She retched repeatedly, but nothing came out.

Henry followed closely behind, falling to his knees beside her, and

gently rubbed her back. "What's.1

wrong? Did you eat something that wasn't fresh?"

Georgie shook her head as she retched again. "Ugh, no. I didn't eat anything else apart from what we had during dinner."

"Something must have been wrong

with the food then. That doesn't

make sense. It shouldn't have

caused a reaction so soon. Besides, the rest of us are all fine. Could it be?"
