Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1704

After they went separate ways, Tom Sullivan regretted it…

He couldn’t forget Xyla Quest.

However, she didn’t care about him anymore.

In fact, she was getting better day by day.

She had gotten so good that Tom could never even hope to get her back. In the past, they could be seen as equals. However, Tom now needed to look up at her.

There was nothing more painful than this.

The sensation of being bitten by tens of thousands of ants intensified.

Tom could feel every hair on his body standing.

He felt like he couldn’t take it anymore.

He fell weakly to the ground and started foaming at the mouth.

Tom genuinely regretted ever touching drugs.

These things ruined lives.

It didn’t matter who one was. As long as one touched drugs, one would be trapped in the literal hell and never escape.

When Tom finally broke down, he bit his tongue.

However, no matter how hard he bit on it, it still couldn’t relieve him of the pain in his body.

After repeatedly trying, he finally bit his tongue off.

Blood wouldn’t stop flowing…

However, he couldn’t sense the pain at all. He was already suffering from a seizure.

Meanwhile, after Xyla and the others were interviewed, they started leaving the airport…

Xyla and Stanley Batton walked the fastest in the group.

After getting out of the airport, the people got into a long line of luxury cars that were already waiting for them outside.

Xyla, the Batton family, and Annabeth Cates’ parents got into the black Rolls-Royce limousine in the front.

Meanwhile, other people got into the other cars.

Right after getting in, Bobby Cates looked around and sighed. “So this is what a big city looks like… Nothing in our small town could compare to this…”

Sharon laughed when she heard this. “In that case, you should move here…”

Peggy Howards immediately shook her head. “That won’t be necessary. We’re used to living in our own house. Now that we’re old, we don’t want to be in a different environment.”

“Sigh. I really don’t understand you two. Isn’t it better to stay here and be nearer to your daughter? Aren’t you worried that we might bully your daughter?” Wilson Batton asked jokingly.

Xyla and Stanley, who sat in the back row, didn’t join in the conversation. Instead, they chose to listen to the adults talking silently.

Xyla naturally rested her head against Stanley’s shoulder.

The two of them felt peaceful next to each other.
