Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1994

A strong sense of urgency and panic caused Stanley Batton’s eyes to well with tears.

Opening the main door, he dashed through the wind and snow, carrying Xyla Quest into his black Bugatti Veyron.

He fastened the seatbelt on his wife to prevent her from falling over before getting into the driver's seat himself.

He didn’t even bother putting on his seatbelt before speeding away from the house.

A black Bugatti Veyron could be seen on the flat tar road as it accelerated at top speed. It was a magnificent sight.

Stanley focused on driving as he spoke to Xyla. “Xyla, hang in there. We’ll arrive at the hospital very soon.”

However, she didn’t respond at all.

Her face had turned pale, her breathing growing weaker by the second.

She seemed like a fragile flower on the mountainside that was about to fall off.

It was as if any gust of wind could easily cause her to fall and be crushed into pieces.

Stanley’s heart ached at the helpless sight.

He rarely felt afraid throughout his life because he was always in control.

There was nothing he feared losing. Until now

Stanley genuinely felt terrified this time, from the bottom of his heart.

He was afraid something bad would happen to Xyla, and he might end up losing her forever.

"..."

Soon, Stanley and Xyla arrived at the Municipal Hospital.

Stanley had called ahead and informed the hospital that he would be coming with an emergency, so the Director and Assistant Director of the hospital were waiting by the entrance with other medical staff to welcome him.

Meanwhile, the best doctors from the Department of Obstetrics were waiting for orders in the operation theater, all ready and on standby.

Stanley immediately placed Xyla onto a stretcher when he arrived, and the hospital staff swiftly moved into action without saying a word to him to avoid wasting time.

As they looked after his wife, Stanley went to park his car elsewhere before running back into the hospital.

He emanated an air of aggression on his way there, prompting everyone else to move out of his path to avoid him.
