Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 471

As Catherine Batton spoke, she rotated her right ankle, drawing small circles in the air with her foot.

It was not too difficult for her to move around anymore.

"That's great." Josh Batton handed her the two large bags in his hands. "Speaking of which, I bought you some breakfast and snacks."

"I love you, Sixth brother!" Catherine happily hugged the things he brought in her arms, with a satisfied expression etched on her face.

Josh grinned at her reaction as he slid his hand into the pocket of his hoodie. He took out a signed photo of Morty Wayne and Jay Corben and passed it to Catherine. "There you go. You wanted this, right?”

Joy sparkled inside Catherine and her mood was elevated once more the moment she saw the photo. Delighted with her brother's surprise, she stared at the photo for a second or two before lifting her head to glance at Josh. "Thank you so much, Sixth brother. There isn't a single day that I stopped loving you."

Josh simply patted her head again. "It's not a big deal. Put your stuff down. I'll help you to wash up and we'll have breakfast first."

"Anything you say, Sixth brother... I'm so pleased to see their photo. I really do think that they are the perfect match. It's my biggest hope to see them end up getting married!"

Looking at her excited expression, Josh decided to keep his mouth shut and remain silent.

He knew very well that Catherine was a big fan of this on-screen couple and they were her life goals. He did not want to throw a wet blanket over her fantasy of the couple. Moreover, for a big fan like her, she would never believe his words even though he told her that the couple was just acting in front of the camera.

Therefore, it was best to let her continue living her dream.

It would not make any difference to her anyway.

Josh stayed with Catherine in her ward till every last bit of food was eaten before he left the room fully disguised again.

Keeping his head down, he scuttled along the aisle and went down the building by using the stairs to avoid the crowd.

However, several girls managed to recognize him as soon as he set foot at the lobby.

The girls went crazy instantaneously and gathered around him in a flash. Excited with their encounter, they gaped at his face with their eyes wide open such that they were going to faint the next second. They were constantly and uncontrollably clutching their hands and stomping in place while expressing their fondness to him.

"Josh... Josh Batton, I didn't expect to see you here. I'm a big fan of yours! By the way, you have a really small face."

"Oh my god... You're so tall and fit in person. Can I have your autograph?"

"Me too! I want it too!"

Josh was already used to the situation in front of him. He was neither shocked nor excited with their sudden confession in the middle of the lobby. However, his first reaction was to glimpse at the watch on his wrist.

He found out that there was merely an hour left before his flight would take off, which meant that he had to rush to the airport as soon as possible.

Without any delay, he quickly searched his pockets but he failed to replace a pen inside any of them.

"I... I don't have a pen with me. Do you have it?" asked Josh.

The girls shook their heads in response.

Immediately, he reached out his hand to the girl standing in front of him. "Give me your phone."

She handed him the phone without hesitation.

Very soon, Josh found the memo on her phone and clicked open it. He swiftly typed his name 'Josh Batton' in the memo before adding, "I'm running out of time so this is all I can do... I have to rush to the airport right now."

Following the statement, he dashed out of the hospital without giving them a chance to speak.

After he left, the group of girls dropped their head and looked at the memo with excitement. When the two tiny words 'Josh Batton' hit them in the eye, they were all petrified instantly.

"Our idol has a unique mind indeed, doesn't he?"

"How did he even think of this? Hahaha... I can't help falling for him."

The girls blinked at his shrinking back before he disappeared completely in the crowd. Amazement and adoration glowed inside them.

Meanwhile in the ward, Stanley Batton was helping Xyla Quest to wipe her face.

Xyla was sitting on the bed with her eyes closed, looking very much like a doll.

While she managed to mostly maintain an indifferent and serene look on her exterior, she could feel her heart fluttering about like a baby bird trying to fly.

"Xyla..." Stanley broke the silence.

Xyla opened her eyes gradually. "Yes?"
