Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2031

"Look at the state you're in! Do you think you can handle it?" Stanley Batton asked with a sad look in his eyes. "I know you feel awful. I feel the same way, but please, wait for one night. Once your wound recovers a little, I'll take you to your father, all right?"

The doctor had left strict instructions for Xyla Quest to remain in bed as it was only the first day after her cesarean delivery.

Besides, the wound on her stomach had just been torn and sewn back a while ago.

How could he let Xyla get hurt?

Seeing her like this already made him sad.

He would do anything for Xyla to be happy except for what she was asking for right now.

She glanced at Stanley with a hopeless gaze. "Honey, my heart hurts. I just want to see my father right now."

At that moment, she wished she had a pair of wings to fly to his side.

Xyla knew she shouldn't be moving around at all, but she couldn't control herself.

Her stitches were still fresh, so too many movements could cause another tear.

However, she still wanted to see her father.

Intense sadness was overflowing from inside her, like a tsunami that consumed her entire body. She could hardly breathe.

Xyla couldn't accept what was happening.

"I thought my father would live for a long time, perhaps another decade or two by my side. I kept thinking we had a lot of time left. That's why I didn't visit him every day despite living nearby.

"I always thought I still had a lot of time to see him in the future, but now I realize there isn't that much time after all.

"Some people might be in front of you one second and be gone from this world the next. If I could go back in time, I'd go home to see him each day. I'd ask him how he was doing all the time. "I wouldn't neglect him because of work," Xyla uttered.

She wanted to do so many things for her father, but he was no longer around.

That was the most depressing thing in the world.

Life was truly fragile.

Some people could leave forever when one's not paying attention.

Stanley's eyes filled with tears again when he heard this.

Kneeling on one knee, he tenderly held her face. "Come on, don't think so much. You've done your best. You've been good to your father.

"You just didn't get to spend as much time with him as you wanted because of your busy work schedule," he told her in a comforting tone.

At that moment, he was worried she might collapse as he could feel how fragile she was.

Meanwhile, Sharon Lindt was so fearful that her face turned pale.

She treated Xyla like her biological daughter, so when she was feeling sad, Sharon felt sad too.

Yaksha seemed equally concerned.

"In that case, will you take me to my father tomorrow?" Xyla asked.

Stanley nodded slowly. "Yes, I will."

"Stan, Xyla won't be able to go tomorrow either," Sharon spoke up.

"I'll replace a way."

Sharon nodded silently, wondering what on earth was going on.

Why was everything happening at the same time?

She was at a loss at what to do.

She was so worried that something might happen to Xyla when she visited Jeremy Quest. Her life could be at risk.

However, since she had already found out, it was impossible to stop her from going.

It was human nature.

"All right,

must take me to him

morrow row," Xyla warned, not . Tomorrow, I'll only waive t

willing to wait any longer than

that.

Stanley nodded. "All right, tomorrow. That's a promise."

Only then did her mind slowly clear up. Even her agitation had decreased somewhat.

She began to recall what her husband had said earlier.

Clenching her fists, Xyla gazed helplessly at him. "You said my father might not have died from such a simple cause, didn't you?"

After calming down and returning to her senses, she suspected that things weren't as simple as they seemed.

The way her children were born prematurely and how abruptly her father had died was far too coincidental.

It all started when Betty Starmount appeared in their lives.

Xyla recollected something now that she pondered about it carefully.

Previously, Betty always asked her about her children and how they were doing.

Not only that, but ever since Jeremy dated Betty, he started asking Xyla and Stanley to go home for meals rather often. They had always complied, except when they were exhausted from work or had alternative plans in the mornings.

Jeremy was never that way in the past. He only acted that way after Betty showed up.

Xyla felt terrified after connecting the dots.

Perhaps all those home-cooked meals at the Quests' family home was a guise for her to use slow-acting poison on Xyla? Could it really be Betty? If so, why?

Xyla had checked out Betty's profile back when she was first signed to X Entertainment, along with a background check. There were no records that she had lived in Atlantis previously or that she had any family members either.

There were no ties between Xyla's family and hers, nor had there been any qualms with Betty personally.

She had even more questions on her mind when she thought of this.

She began clenching her fists by her side.

It didn't matter who did it, but once Xyla found out the real culprit behind all this, she would not let that person off the hook so easily.

"Yes, this is all too coincidental.

Also-" Stanley said as he turned to

look at Yaksha, prompting him to

take over the explanations of how Xyla could be poisoned.

Xyla was stunned to replace out the truth that she had been poisoned.

Thankfully, her children possessed spiritual energy. Otherwise, nobody knew what could have happened to her and her babies.

"If that's the case, I suspect that person might be Betty." Xyla felt more certain about her thoughts now due to too many coincidences.

Stanley frowned again. "Yeah, I also

suspect your father died from

poison However, we'd have to ne

Hearing that, Xyla immediately shifted her gaze to Yaksha. "Yaksha, please, quickly go there to check on his body."
