Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 424

"It's alright. I'll ask Georgie to hire a professional caregiver to look after me," Xyla Quest said as she shook her head. Xyla knew for a fact, that any woman would be upset to replace out that their boyfriend was constantly taking care of another.

She didn't want something like that to happen.

Since Stanley already had a girlfriend, he and Xyla should keep some distance between them.

This was Xyla's way of showing respect to his girlfriend.

Sensing something amiss with Xyla, Stanley frowned slightly. "Is anything the matter?" he asked.

Beep, beep, beep...

At that moment, Xyla's phone on the nightstand began to ring.

His hand moved over to pick the phone up but just as he was about to hand it over to her, he unintentionally saw that it was Noah Smith who was calling her.

Stanley looked at Xyla briefly before picking the call up on her behalf and placing the phone in her hand.

Xyla looked at who the caller was. "Noah, what's up?"

She began coughing almost immediately after she spoke.

"Is something wrong? Why does your voice sound weird?" Noah asked, somewhat worried.

"Oh. I've been hospitalized because I have appendicitis," Xyla said.

"Hospitalized? Which hospital?" Noah asked immediately.

"Municipal Hospital..."

"I'll come over right away."

"You really don't have to..."

Before her sentence even ended, Noah had already hung up.

Xyla simply sighed before giving Georgie a call.

When she picked up, Xyla explained the situation she was in to her. She then asked Georgie to replace her a professional caregiver.

After hearing the complete story, Georgie asked worriedly, "Appendicitis? You've even undergone surgery? I don't trust caregivers. I'll look after you personally," Georgie said in a determined voice. "You're a busy person Georgie, don't even think about it." As she said that, she began coughing again.

Speaking this much was making her feel a little exhausted.

"Multitasking is easy for me. You're definitely more important. Alright, let's stop the chit chat. I'll be coming over right now," Georgie said before hanging up.

Stanley sat silently next to her as he listened to her conversation with Georgie. His brows furrowed, a slight confusion reflected in his eyes.

Something felt wrong with Xyla. She had never complained about him taking care of her before this.

Why was she suddenly pushing him away?

Beep, beep, beep...

Stanley's phone began ringing, interrupting his thoughts.

When he saw that it was a call from Catherine Batton, he stood up and walked over to another bed. "What is it?" He asked with a softened gaze after picking up the call. "I'm at your office... Where are you?" Catherine asked.

"I'm busy right now. Go home," Stanley said.

The warm sun's rays passed through the hospital window and landed on his face. It made his fair skin look somewhat translucent.
