Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1954

Xyla Quest and the others looked toward where the sound had come from, but she could not see anything as there were too many people around her.

Soon, people began stepping aside to make way for the woman.

A tearful, middle-aged woman, who stood at the end of the crowd, appeared before Xyla.

She recognized this woman as Maggie Carlton, a leukemia expert who once disparaged Xyla on Weibo.

Maggie had been less than kind in her comments about Xyla previously, calling her out for being a terrible capitalist and a liar.

She even said only fools would buy the Resurrection Pills and that whoever believed in Xyla would pay for their foolishness.

Seeing how her demeanor had changed from being arrogant to humble in light of recent events made Xyla feel a little unnerved.

Soon, Maggie quickly ran up to Xyla, falling to her knees directly in front of her before she could speak.

Xyla’s eyes widened in surprise. “What are you doing?”

“Xyla, you are amazing! Can you be my mentor? I’m willing to devote my life to researching various complicated diseases as your protege. I'll do anything as long as you are willing to accept me as your student. I mean, anything at all.

“You’re really amazing. I have to apologize for what I said previously. I’m such a fool, I really am.

“You know, after my mother took your pill, she was transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward. In fact, she will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow,” Maggie said earnestly.

There was a look of excitement in her eyes that she couldn’t conceal even if she wanted to. Gone was the arrogant demeanor she sported previously when she looked down on Xyla.

Instead, there was a sense of humility, sincerity, and remorse.

“Wasn’t this the person who called everyone a fool if they believed in Xyla? What’s the matter? Aren’t you afraid of being a fool?”

“She’s just like us. We’re all ashamed of what we did.”

People began debating among the crowd.

When Maggie heard what was said, she glanced angrily at the couple who had spoken. “Who are you to say that? You are here for the same reason I am, aren't you?”

The two of them immediately snapped their mouths shut.

After that, Maggie sobered, returning her attention to Xyla respectfully. “What do you say? Can you forgive me and accept me as your pupil?

“I know you’re like a deity in the medical field, and I’m sure you have many more hidden talents. Are you willing to teach me some of them?” Maggie had an eager look in her eyes.

Xyla chuckled, shaking her head. “I’m sorry, but I’m not accepting any proteges, and honestly, I'm not that great, so don’t think too highly of me.”

The truly remarkable person was Yaksha, but he had forbidden her to bring anything up or divulge too much to outsiders.

“No, you are amazing and the most capable person in the medical field,” Maggie continued to speak with an earnest look in her eyes.

She was practically Xyla’s fanatic, as devoted as she was to do anything just to be her protege.

However, Xyla shook her head again. “You’re overthinking. All right, get up. I’m not accepting any proteges. Also, I am not qualified to be your teacher as I am younger than you.”

Right after Xyla finished speaking, they could hear the roaring sound of countless sports cars, stealing her attention as she turned toward its direction.

From her partially obstructed viewpoint, she saw about two dozen sports cars heading toward the crowd.

However, Xyla was not particularly interested as she had seen plenty of luxury cars before.
