Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2039

Xyla Quest frowned deeply. "I don't know what exactly it was that we did, but Stanley and I both have our own karmic debts from our past lives.

"Moreover, we seem to have done a lot of terrible things to the demon fox. That's why he's here to make us pay for it," she explained.

"Does that mean you and my son knew each other in your past lives?" Sharon Lindt still wore a shocked expression. However, she tried to keep her voice low so that others wouldn't hear her. Although the acoustic treatment in the ward was effective, and no one else could hear them with the door closed, Sharon still thought it was better to be safe than sorry. Xyla nodded.

"Anyway, we will face a lot of hurdles in this life," she added.

Hearing that, Sharon's expression turned from shock to horror.

She took a deep breath. "What are you two going to do? Are there any ways to avoid the hurdles?"

"Does this mean what happened to your father and the children were the nine-tailed fox's doing? Someone's dead, and you got hurt because of this. Can it end now?" she asked. Yaksha had an ambiguous look in his eyes. "I'm afraid this is only the beginning."

"Have you known all along?"

"I do, but there are things I cannot tell you. Besides, the karmic debt between debtor and creditor can't be interfered with in the process," Yaksha explained.

Sharon immediately felt deeply concerned for Xyla and Stanley, a sentiment which they both shared as well.

It was only the beginning, yet things were already awful as a start.

What would the nine-tailed demon fox do next?

"What can we do? Must we wait here like sitting ducks?" Sharon asked.

"You can only respond when each move is made," Yaksha said.

"How long will it last?" Sharon asked.

"It will last until the debt has been repaid fully. I can't be sure of how long that is," Yaksha told her.

Sharon broke into a cold sweat when she heard this.

It seemed that a lot of danger was lying in wait for Xyla and Stanley.

'Oh my god. Will they be able to live a long and healthy life?' When Sharon thought of these things, her heart began aching as tears began to fall without her realizing it.

Xyla and Stanley didn't tell her about these things mostly because they were afraid she might react this way.

Seeing Sharon so torn up made Xyla feel a little regretful.

Perhaps she shouldn't have explained in such detail.

However, some things needed to be said for all of it to make sense.

Sharon was the kind of person who had to get to the bottom of things.

She promptly backed away, hugging the child in her arms as she sank down onto a nearby couch.

'What can I do?' Sharon thought, thinking everything was over at first. She thought her family would live happily ever after.

Xyla and Stanley were talented, rich, and good-looking, living the best life anyone could ever dream of.

However, somebody was now telling them that they were going to face a lot of calamities in the future.

"Can't you tell us more in detail?" Sharon asked Yaksha as she gazed at him with curiosity.

He shook her head.

Xyla instantly released a long, helpless sigh. "Mom, stop forcing Yaksha. He can't say too much, or he'd be punished if he reveals anything he shouldn't." Sharon immediately ceased talking upon hearing this, knowing that he wouldn't tell them any more than necessary.

She decided to give up.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the ward became tense again.

Stanley frowned helplessly, hugging Leon Batton closely before placing him in the cradle.

Then, he also picked Lynette Batton up and placed her next to Leon.

The children were still awake right then, looking around excitedly.

They kicked their tiny legs up and down, looking so adorable.

Their eyes glistened brightly like water's surface reflecting light.

One look was enough to make people obsessed with them.

Stanley carefully checked if their diapers were wet before returning to Xyla's bed and gently lowering it back.

He then helped Xyla lie down in the most comfortable way possible.

The moment she did, she could feel her stitches tearing again.

It was agonizing.

Xyla broke into a cold sweat, frowning deeply right then.

The other three adults quickly surrounded her. "Are you all right?" they asked simultaneously.

Xyla nodded, feeling much better now.

The tearing sensation gradually disappeared.

"Did you tear your wound? Just lie still and don't get up unnecessarily in the future. You really shouldn't move around. Listen to me, all right?" Sharon asked.

Xyla instantly felt warmth in her heart as she nodded. "Okay," she replied weakly.

Stanley frowned deeply. "Do you want me to get the doctor? How do you feel?"

Xyla shook her head. "I'm fine. I think it was just a tiny tear. It's not fully open. It'd be much worse than this if it was. Besides, I didn't move that much earlier. It's not that bad."

However, Stanley continued to frown. "Don't move around so much next time," he told her sternly when another thought occurred to him, prompting him to address Yaksha. en.swhovels.net

"Can you get us one more teleport amulet?

"No, make that two," he corrected himself. "It'll be easier for Xyla to visit her father tomorrow. Otherwise, it'd be dangerous for her on the trip back."

Stanley subconsciously spoke in a humble tone while he looked at Yaksha.

Sharon immediately looked at Yaksha with a hopeful gaze. "Yeah, it'd be best if you could do that. Would you be able to?"

Sharon was worried.

Yaksha thought about it for a while, then gazed at Stanley before turning to look at the two women.

Finally, he nodded. "Yes, but you need to give me some time."

Stanley was happy to hear this. “Thank you, that's wonderful."

This way, Xyla would be spared from the pain of traveling.

As long as they were careful, nothing would go wrong.

Yaksha shook his head. "It's fine. All right, I need to go somewhere quiet with nobody else around to replace a way to help you. Don't mind me."

"Will it be too much for you?" Stanley asked.

"No, don't worry. Nothing will happen to me."

With that, Yaksha turned around and left.

Five minutes later, the weather changed drastically.
