Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1250

Stanley Batton thought he was strong enough to overcome anything, and there was nothing he’d be afraid of. Now, he finally understood that someone like that couldn’t possibly exist.

The so-called toughness and fearlessness were only possible when dealing with people and things that weren’t one’s weak point.

Whenever something involved Xyla Quest, Stanley would lose all control within a second…

Especially right now, Stanley truly felt afraid that Xyla had been afflicted with a rare, incurable disease, and she might leave him forever.

In fact, Stanley didn’t even dare to think about what would become of him if Xyla was no longer with him.

Xyla was his life.

She was like the oxygen and sunlight that he depended on to survive.

How would he live without her?

“Honey… I want to go home… I don’t like being in the hospital,” Xyla said softly.

Xyla didn’t like the hospital because she hated the cold atmosphere and the strong medicinal scent.

“Alright…” Stanley replied softly. He casually picked her up and started walking outside.

Ron Batton followed the two of them with a concerned look on his face. There was a sullenness that wouldn’t fade away from his eyes.

If it were possible, Ron wished it was him rather than Xyla who was ill.

Xyla was no longer just his granddaughter-in-law or disciple.

To Ron, she was even dearer to him than his granddaughter.

After returning home, Stanley carried Xyla to the bedroom.

To avoid making Xyla nervous, Stanley didn’t show any emotion throughout the entire journey.

In a swift motion, he switched on the lights with the back of his hand. The baroque-style room lit up.

Stanley then placed Xyla on the bed in a familiar movement. “Don’t worry… You have me… There’s nothing I can’t resolve,” Stanley said.

With that, Stanley slowly sat next to Xyla and wrapped his arms around her.

His hug felt warm and safe. Xyla’s uneasiness was relieved somewhat.

At this moment, they both had mixed feelings in their hearts.

However, neither of them said anything.
