Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 136

Xyla Quest seemed very focused as she continued to examine Stanley Batton’s elbow professionally.

Meanwhile, Stanley sat cooperatively, silently allowing her to examine him.

The light shining against her face from the outside made her appear even gentler.

Despite the large coat that hung over her shoulders, she did not look any less attractive.

After repeatedly examining his elbow, Xyla looked up at Stanley.

“I don’t think there’s any displacement or crack in your bones. However, just as a precautionary measure, we should get an X-ray for it at the hospital. Sometimes, it’s impossible to tell if there’s a crack in the bones from the outside,” Xyla said.

“Okay,” Stanley said.

“The cops will be here soon. We’ll go to the hospital after we explain to them what went on here,” Xyla said.

“Alright,” Stanley answered.

“Thank you for taking the hit for me,” Xyla said softly.

When Xyla recalled how Stanley took the bat’s hit without hesitation, she felt a warm sensation spread in her heart.

“Don’t worry about it,” he replied calmly as if it was not a big deal.

“Also, I’m sorry,” Xyla frowned apologetically.

“What for?” Stanley looked at her inquisitively. However, he had the usual cold look on his face.

“If I hadn’t asked you to act as my husband, Stanley Batton, this would not have happened to you,” Xyla explained.

“I accepted your money. Therefore, I needed to do my part. There’s nothing for you to be sorry about,” Stanley said nonchalantly.

“Although that makes logical sense, I’m still sorry that you got injured,” Xyla said.

“It’s alright,” Stanley said.

“You should be careful from now on, just in case he takes any further action,” Xyla said. She was a little worried about what could happen to him in the future.

“Don’t worry,” Stanley said calmly. His facial expression made it clear he was not concerned at all.

“Bring a few more men with you whenever you head out,” Xyla warned with a serious look on her face.

“Done,” Stanley said.

“If you can’t handle it, give me a call,” Xyla added.
